Didn't realise that Werribee uses the Adelaide Crows theme song lol.
-
Repeat entries for Werribee and they get the first goal.
0 - 6
-
Throw-in in our F50. Miller grabs it out of the ruck and snaps but misses.
1 - 7
-
Faimalo long but the whole pack crashes to the ground and the ball bounces through for a behind.
2 - 7
-
Miller once again too strong for his opponent and marks on the wing. Finds Green 45 out on the boundary. Across the face for another behind.
3 - 7
-
The umps still stuffing us over at VFL level. Werribee campaigner dives forward and gets a free right in front. stuffen joke
-
Goal from a free kick (in the back) to Werribee.
3 - 13
-
Getting smashed at the centre clearances :P.
-
Banks to Melville on 50. Misses.
4 - 14
-
Looks like we've got the same cheating umps as last night. Maurice runs down the Werribee defender and no free ::).
-
Street long to the line but off hands for another behind.
5 - 14
-
Terrible defending so far in D50. Asleep without the ball and fumbling/missing targets with it.
-
Oh dear! Ball hits the ground. Our defenders assume it's going to roll through for a behind to Werribee. Instead, the ball sits up and Werribee goal :facepalm.
5 - 22
-
Morris has to move Miller into the ruck. Biggie totally lost today and Werribee winning every clearance.
HTB against us in D50 then 50 for mouthing off to the ump. Another Werribee goal.
5 - 28

Frees: 2 - 8

Some of our VFL listed players wouldn't get a game for Werribee if we are being honest
-
ps. We apparently had whatever breeze there is in that first quarter :-\.
-
Got to love how there's no HTB against the opposition.
-
Street tackled high 30 out. Goal! :gotigers
Finally!
Rich 1.5-11
Wer 4.5-29
2 min Q2
-
Sonsie wins the HTB free 55 out. Hits up Green leading along the boundary 30 out. Shots but hits the post.
12 - 29
-
Our tall forwards caught 15m behind their opponent (Bradtke). Werribee forwards play in front and lead up at the ball carrier.
-
That's downfield. Coulthard was pushed in the back as he kicked it. It affected the kick.
Anyway, the second entry sees Miller get the free 25 out. Misses :P.
That's 1-7 now. A repeat of the ressies goalkicking last week :scream.
13 - 30
-
Looked OOTF but paid a throw-in.
Anyway, another (rushed) behind.
14 - 30
-
Brown pinged for 50 for being half a step over the mark. Ump didn't bother telling him to take a step back ::). Just straight 50.
14 - 36
-
It wasn't pretty but we get it back on defensive transition. Sonsie quick kick inside 50 and Hicks crumbs the goal :gotigers
Rich 2.8-20
Werr 5.6-36

Great run down tackle to Faimalo at HF. Gives off to Banks who nails it on the run from 40 :gotigers

Werr 5.6-36
18 min Q2

Another clear HTB not paid to us ::).
-
Sonsie almost with a goal of the year contender from the boundary. Misses to the left.
27 - 37
-
High contact on us 30 out missed ::)
-
Finally get a HTB free (to Melville). Hits up Dow 45 out. Across to Tresize 50 out directly in front. Goes to 5m out and it's off-hands for another behind.
28 - 39
-
Bradtke all at sea again. Definitely not fit enough as he is out of gas and being pushed aside by small defenders. Hire a personal trainer this summer- his only chance.
-
Steve Morris went to the umps as they were walking off.
Probably will get in trouble for it but about time we complained about the crap umpiring we cop, especially all the HTBs we miss out on :yep

Bradtke ngmi..... :shh

Biggy not as lazy as Chol but getting there.... :help

Better in terms of competitiveness. Not taking our chances like last week though.

Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane. Whoever picked him in front of Narkle needs to be moved on.

Racist.
Sonsie is the laziest campaigner out there for us.

Just realised why "Lord of The Wings" is the biggest, most clueless flog on Richmond's Big Footy board...which is saying something given the absolute mouthbreathers over there.. :shh

He was selected to fill a need, you know a KP forward?
Not surprised he looks off the pace, he's coming off a long way back. Less than 9 months in an elite system. I'm prepared to cut him a bit of slack
From what I saw in the pre-season when he and Narkle were going for the final list spot at the time he showed enough to be given a chance
Narkle has been in the system for a number of years now and hasn't delivered consistently. No surprise he didn't get the gig
-

Good idea. Coming from so far back he needs to be prepared to put in the extra work
-
LMAO - imagine actually getting upset over not picking up Narkle.... :biglaugh
-
Trezise has had a shocker today. First goal of the 3rd qtr to Werribee.
28 - 45
By the way, two tackles on the wing where Werribee players are caught cold and not paid HTB ::).
-
Goodness we are hopeless :snidegrin

Glad Trezise only got 6 months.... :shh

Terrible defending. Werribee player left all alone 10 out.
28 - 51

Glad Trezise only got 6 months.... :shh
Did he?

Bauer moved to full forward. Bradtke now high forward pushing up.

Glad Trezise only got 6 months.... :shh
Did he?
That's correct, WP. Both Trezise and Coulthard signed up for six month contracts.

Glad Trezise only got 6 months.... :shh

Pretty sure both MSD picks only got the 6 month option.... :shh

Allowing far too many uncontested marks but also getting killed in the aerial contests... :facepalm

They can nominate 18 months- this was before the draft. Bauer did this I :shh believe

Umps allow our players to be held off the ball at VFL level as well.... :banghead
-
Defensive transition. Street inside 50 to Green 40 out who gives off to Johnson 25 out. Misses a sitter :P.

-
Sums up Maurice's 2023. Can't handle the ball to save himself this year. Turned a goal opportunity to us into a rebounding gift to the opposition.
-
Hicks free 60 out. Goes long. Green crumbs but his snap under pressure misses.
31 - 53
-
Clueless umpiring. Ump 5m away refuses to pay a clear HTB to us ::). The non-controlling ump had to pay it. A joke!

Banks to the Bradtke 20 out. Goal! :gotigers
Finally!
Rich 4.13-37
Werr 7.11-53

What morons! Had a gimme centre clearance and just had to kick it forward. Nah ... we'll handball sideways 15m to a teammates' feet and turn it over and gift the opposition a soft goal :banghead.

Pathetic! The handballing and tackling today has been below Auskick level :facepalm.

Going by the woeful commentators the club won't need to pay for the demolition of the Dyer stand. Steve Morris might do it for free, seems he's a tad frustrated with today's effort and is thumping away in the coach's box
:rollin

No one seizing the opportunity for a promotion
Banks has been good, Sonsie OK the rest, oh dear

A repeat of the first quarter. Just soft and beaten in the contests and clearances. Skill level especially by hand has been atrocious.

Our general defending is soooooo por

We are so dumb :facepalm.

Geez talk about hopeless :facepalm :lol.

Will say it again most of our VFL listed players would not get a game for Werribee
Actually they wouldn't get a game for bottom of the ladder Coburg
They are terrible

And would also suggest a couple of AFL lads are plying themselves off our AFL list
Shambolic is being kind

Remove kick in's from Brown and oh my :help

Can't hit a target to save ourselves today. U10s stuff!

Biggie moved forward and marks 35 out in the pocket. OOTF near side :P.

39 points seems right margin wise
That we were so close for as long as we were is more a slight on Werribee than a positive for us
-
Time to watch the replay of last night's game
This game was just embarrassing
-
MRJ won’t make it as a footballer IMO.. 20 games in so he has time, but he was a late pick for a reason.
I’d also like to see Morris moved on when our new coach comes in. Fresh ideas and voice. Time to go Morris.

After a few close calls on senior selection Sam Banks keeps getting closer to an AFL debut and was again among the best for Richmond's VFL team.
Banks grabbed 24 disposals and kicked a goal in the Tigers' 45-point loss to Werribee at the Swinburne Centre on Sunday.
Classy midfielder Tyler Sonsie and running defender Tom Brown had 21 touches each and will also be in contention for a call up should a senior spot open up soon, while Thomson Dow had 12 disposals.
Another in the frame is Maurice Rioli jnr, although the small forward was quiet in his return from a hamstring injury, finishing with just six disposals and four tackles, while Steely Green was off target, kicking 0.3 from nine disposals.
Big men Bigoa Nyuon (nine disposals, 15 hitouts) and Ben Miller (10, nine) showed their adaptability taking turns in the ruck, key forward Kaelen Bradtke kicked one goal but Jacob Bauer was quiet.
Mid-season draftee James Trezise finished with 14 disposals and seven marks, while fellow MSD selection Matthew Coulthard had nine touches.
Harry Broderick, son of former Richmond best and fairest winner Paul, played his first game for the Tigers' VFL side, and while he had limited involvement, the club will be watching the 178cm midfielder closely ahead of this year's draft.

VFL Tigers fall to Werribee
By Brenton Mann
Richmond Media
11 June 2023
Richmond VFL couldn’t get the points in the battle of the Tigers on Sunday afternoon at the Swinburne Centre, as a well-drilled Werribee held sway by 45 points.
The home Tigers highlighted why they can match it with any side in the competition in the second term, however their brashness of youth wasn’t there for four quarters, the final score reading, 4.13 (37) def. by 11.16 (82).
“Play an open game with speed.”
Steve Morris’ pre-game can be applied to both the offensive and defensive phases of the game, with Mykelti Lefau a poster boy for the latter.
Lefau made his presence felt early in the first quarter, with a bone-crunching tackle on the outer wing.
Tom Brown made a successful return from injury along with Lefau last week against the Giants and glided across the turf from the opening bounce.
The return of Maurice Rioli was a welcome one, as he stalked, smothered, and tackled his way through the opening term.
Richmond showed it was up for the fight, however, Werribee made the most of its opportunities forward of centre when the home Tigers didn’t.
The travelling Tigers held a four-goal lead at the first change, which Richmond swiftly ate into in the second term.
Richmond tooth-and-nail inside the contest, then injected speed into the game off half-back as they locked the ball in their front-half.
Fifty-game skipper, Lachlan Street then put his head in the hole, earning himself a free-kick and most importantly, converted his set-shot from as tight angle, opening Richmond’s goal account.
The Tigers ratcheted it up around the ball, forcing Werribee into turnovers, then exploding offensively with ball-in-hand.
Lefau reeled in ex-Richmond player, Bailey Henderson at half-back, which set the Tigers in motion as they surged the ball through the corridor, ending with a craft crumbing goal by Angus Hicks.
Lefau was running full steam ahead, as he forced yet another turnover with a hulking tackle, then smartly handed the ball to Sam Banks, who breached the paint of 50 and kicked truly.
Richmond’s inaccuracy in-front-of-goal meant Werribee clung to an 11-point lead at half-time.
Werribee slotted the opening two goals of the third term, extending their lead to north of three goals.
With time ticking on late in the third term, Banks clutched an intercept mark on the Jack Dyer Stand wing, wearing a clip across the scone for good measure.
The wingman was undeterred, driving the ball deep inside 50 where Kaelan Bradtke wrapped his mitts around the Sherrin and slotted the Tigers’ fourth major.
Another ex-Tiger, Shaun Mannagh answered back swiftly for the visitors, reinstating his side’s four-goal lead.
Werribee, a seasoned outfit and one of the form sides of the competition, showed why in the final term. They played the game in their half for the majority of the last quarter, constricting Richmond’s explosive ball movement and incrementally increased their lead.
The hosts were held scoreless, whilst Werribee slotted three majors which iced the game.
RICH 0.5 3.10 4.13 4.13 (37)
WERR 4.5 5.9 8.11 11.16 (82)
Goal Kickers:
Richmond: Banks, Street, Bradtke, Hicks
Best Players: Banks, Sonsie, Brown, Brindley, Johnson, Street

Nope, consistently beaten to the fall of the ball

Sadly, no one put their hand up in the VFL today. In fact, a few wrecked their chances instead :P.
With Young's position in the AFL side looking dicey, you would've hoped Biggie and Bauer would've had strong games but instead they had their worst of the season.
Dow played like he knew his papers are stamped and he won't be a Punt Rd after this season.
Bradtke looks like he won't be with us either. Key forwards shouldn't be left stranded flat-footed 15m behind their opponent.
Maurice had a shocker. He hasn't played for six weeks and it looked like it. Mind you he's been mishandling the footy before he got injured. Sadly gone backwards this year.
Trezise another who had his worse game. Especially the first 2.5 quarters where he fumbled and turned over the ball.
Brown got a lot of the ball because he was playing in defence and doing the kick-ins. Tried to create but the team was rubbish as a whole so most of it didn't come off.
Banks had his usual unassuming game. Again because the ball was mostly in our defensive half.
Sonsie reflected the game. He was very good in the 2nd quarter and was one of the reasons we got back into the game by half-time, but he hardly had any impact in the second half. We had Biggie, Sonsie, Dow & Street at centrebounces yet we got totally smashed in the guts and centre clearances all day.
Miller at least contested from the start of the game. Another whose first half was better than the second IMO. Potential replacement option for Young given Biggie & Bauer were poor.
Coulthard - young kid. Needs a preseason or two and build strength.
Green - 3 behinds and no goals.
-
Some of our kids need to pull the finger out to been there a few years no consistency.

Coulthard - young kid. Needs a preseason or two and build strength.
He's 22. :shh

Just turned 22 last month and as far as a playing at a decent level he's only played 3 SANFL games and 2 VFL games - all in this year. He's inexperienced, lightly-framed and with not one AFL preseason behind him. As far as AFL goes, he's still a "kid". Some footballers are late developers.

VFL Report: Round 12
Richmond VFL coach Steve Morris provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in Sunday's loss to Werribee at the Swinburne Centre.
Sam Banks (24 disposals, five marks, five rebound-50s, one goal)
"He's been fantastic for the best part of two months now. He's putting a fantastic block of footy together and he'll be ready when the opportunity presents at AFL level."
Tom Brown (22 disposals, eight rebound-50s, two marks)
"A really pleasing effort from him on the back off his first game back from injury last week. It was clear that he wanted the footy in his hands and I thought he was pretty solid defensively as well."
Tyler Sonsie (21 disposals, five tackles, three clearances)
"Some really good defensive efforts from him which was pleasing to see. As a whole, our midfield group got beaten on the day, but he didn't stop trying."
James Trezise (14 disposals, seven marks, four tackles)
"Had another good game. In the contest he was good, but aerially was where he really stood out. He took some really good intercept marks and kick-started some good offensive chains for us."
Thomson Dow (12 disposals, four marks, four tackles)
"He was probably a bit of a victim of the fact he's played very little footy over the past month. We've got really great confidence in him that he will bounce back this week against Sandringham."
Ben Miller (10 disposals, nine hit-outs, three marks)
"He was by far the standout player on the ground in the first half from a keys points of view. He went back in the second half to try and steady the ship but didn't have the impact we would like from him."
Matt Coulthard (nine disposals, three inside-50s, one mark)
"Obviously very new to our program and still working through the way that we play. No doubt he'll be better for the run in Richmond colours once again. He's an exciting player for us."
Kaelan Bradtke (nine disposals, three marks, one goal)
"Took a couple of contested marks and hit the scoreboard with one goal, but we're probably looking for him to have a bigger influence on aerial contests that he's not able to win, and follow up at ground level."
Bigoa Nyuon (nine disposals, 15 hit-outs, four tackles)
"Played both in the ruck and up forward and just wasn't able to generate the opportunities that he did the week before."
Steely Green (nine disposals, four marks)
"Once again got to some really good areas and was able to generate three shots on goal and put significant pressure on the opposition. But he just didn't have that impact on the game that we would have liked him to have."
Maurice Rioli (six disposals, four tackles, two inside-50s)
"Whilst his numbers weren't high, you could see that he was switched on to have an impact on the game, right from the outset. His chase pressure was really evident."
Jacob Bauer (two disposals, one mark)
"I was disappointed in Jacob's first-half from a defensive point of view, I just felt that he could have been tighter on his opponent and that would have given him more opportunities to impact the game."

Maurice 6 touches is a worry. Can we play him in the guts and get him some more leather. I'm concerned his development will be ordinary if all he's focussed on doing is forward pressure tackling.

I agree, it’s a confidence killer playing small forward these days. Maybe a run as a back pocket
