Tigers missing Lynch
By
The Suns have started to make a move here. The Tigers no longer have their focal point, and it’s showing. Meanwhile, the Suns have regained their run, Joel Jeffrey delivering a 55m bomb just as he was tackled to give his team a seven-point lead. The Tigers need to hold on in the shadows of half-time.
Tigers hit back

Lynch off for treatment

After his excellent efforts leading to the Vlastuin goal, Tom Lynch has left the field and gone into the dressingroom for treatment. That’s not a good sign. We’ll keep you posted.
Vlastuin enjoys a rare moment
By
Nick Vlastuin, back in the side today, produces just the 30th goal of his distinguished career with a fine running effort. That was set up by Tom Lynch, who led well, the ball spilling to Maurice Rioli jnr and ending with Vlastuin. The Tigers are up by five points.
Brilliant transition by the Suns
By
Well, that was a fine passage of play by the Suns. Mac Andrew delivers to Christian Petracca at half-forward, who then hits up Will Graham on the lead about 35m from goal on a fair angle. Graham converts. That was one of the Suns’ best passages for the day.
Wow - Tigers have the lead
By
The Tigers have taken the lead for the first time today, a clever Pretia handball finding Seth Campbell in the goal-square for an easy finish. After a woeful start, the Tigers have had all the momentum. They lead by a goal.
Leading possession winners

Lefau makes amends - and it’s quarter time
By
Mykelti Lefau, in for his first game of the season after a club-imposed suspension for drink-driving, marks on the lead and converts from about 40. The Tigers are up and about there, after a shaky start.
Tylie Sonsie has been instrumental in the Tigers’ late burst.
The siren sounds, it’s quarter-time, and scores are tied at 14 points apiece.
