Punt Road ready to roar again

PLAYING a practice match against arch rivals Essendon at Punt Road Oval will excite both Tiger fans and players, Richmond midfielder Daniel Jackson says.
The match, to be played at 1pm on Friday March 7 at the Tigers' spiritual home, is sure to attract a big crowd of purists.
It comes just eight days before Richmond's season opener against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium.
"Being able to play as a senior team out on Punt Road … against the Bombers of all things. That is a real old time image," Jackson told AFL.com.au.
"I think it is exciting for the club [and] it is great for footy in general."
The AFL confirmed on Thursday that the redeveloped Punt Road would be a practice match venue when clubs have their final hit-out against opposition clubs before the home and away season begins.
"Punt Road has the same dimensions as Etihad [Stadium] so it will be a nice little physical game leading into the season opener," Jackson said.
The clubs have attracted more than 80,000 to the MCG for each of the Dreamtime at the ’G games in the past three seasons.
They last met in a senior VFL game at Punt Road in round two, 1964.
Jackson said the revamped training surface at Punt Road was great, with the facilities at the ME Bank Centre first class.
He said the club was also excited at the prospect of having a stand-alone VFL team playing home games at Punt Road throughout 2014.
Seven of those games will be played as curtain raisers to the Richmond's MCG matches.
"It is going to be good for our young guys to play (in the VFL) at Punt Road on a ground they are familiar with and then come across and watch the seniors play afterwards (at the MCG)," Jackson said. "I think that is going to be a real unifying thing for our footy club."
The practice match at Punt Road will follow the NAB Challenge series where 18 games are being played throughout the country on 18 consecutive days.
Richmond plays Melbourne at Etihad Stadium on February 14 and Collingwood at Wangaratta on February 22 before playing the Bombers.
Jackson said playing a practice match at traditional grounds might be a nice annual quirk if it could be arranged: "I hope the other teams can do the same thing. It would be great to play at Windy Hill one day or get back to Vic Park … a bit of classic football."

So we've gone from what was first suggested which was a 4.40pm start to a 1.00pm start on Friday arvo,
To cater for what or who exactly, certainly not those of us who actually work or at a bare minimum attend a place of employment during regular business hours
Which leads me to my first of these for 2014.....
Terrific, just terrific TM
-
Love the 1pm start, perfect stuff Tiges :thumbsup
-
WP the club has done a survey and found that 89.9% of our supporters are unemployed so the game start was changed to suit them
-
Only way they could restrict the numbers to something manageable.
:cheers

Well WP, there are 3 replies with papers stamped "guaranteed not trolling".

Club 80 were told that they get first dibs but they are not allowed to tell anyone so they are stuck in a ticketless bubble

Why ?? It's either 2100 or none, the club has done the right thing and let enough in & still be safe & in accordance with Yarra / AFL stipulations
Would have been easier to say its a closed game
-
the only farce is that the tickets were available to bummer fans. Don't like that those scumbags will be spilling their germs all over our hallowed ground.
They should have just made tickets available to RFC members. If those scumbags want to come, they can buy a RFC membership. They'll probably need another team to follow before the season is done anyway.

james hird is going with tania and his dad
is that legal? I know 3 people that missed out on tickets because of it

Actually got no problem with the number of tickets availabe because that is clearly dictated in part by OH&S (Worksafe) requirements
My biggest gripe as everyone knows is the time of the game :banghead

whats the point of having the game at a time when more people can attend, if you can only get 2100 in?
-

Fair point but originally when the game was announced it was going to be at 4.40pm
Why couldn't they have left it at that? With the work going on the ground capacity was always going to be an issue no matter what the time they played it
Beside don't you think it would be great having footys flying into Punt Road during peak hour? ;D

I guess the VFL game has to be second seems it's free of charge. Meaning people can come in after the AFL game. If you have VFL first you've then got to kick people out and let them back in if they have a ticket which would be a nightmare.

No actually it is a farce in fact its worse.
Somebody has programed a game (albeit a practice match) between to of the biggest clubs in the league, that if these two sides played at the G would pull anything fro 70,000 to 85.000 patrons and somebody in their internal wisdom has scheduled this practice match (that could EASILY attract 10,000 +) at a venue that on current circumstance has a capacity of 2100 people.
But your right aren't you, it's not a farce its good management. Wake up.

Told you.
Btw the general accepted capacity figure is between 10000 and 15000. Weve had finals training crowds of more than 2100.
So 2100 is waaaaaaay under capacity. The regular fans just got rolled on this one.
Imagine vfl games. Dont think youll be able to get in then either!
-
NB: there are only 2,100 tickets available
FARCE
Actually it's a non-farce. We're reducing capacity for the safety of those that attend.
Actually, I understand capacity has been purposely limited due to insufficient toilet numbers
If the required number of toilets were installed, a greater number of persons (Including members) could be accomodated as there is space around the ground to do so.
Please advise.

The reduced capacity is due to the stand not being ready so people can't be around it, we will also have toilets in there so you're not completely off track. The stand being out of action is the key.

Richmond’s practice match against Essendon to be watched by just 2100 fans
Michael Warner
Herald Sun
February 19, 2014
FOOTBALL’S return to Punt Road Oval will only be witnessed by 2100 as Richmond rush to prepare the ground for a full season of VFL games.
The Tigers will play Essendon in a practice game next Friday, the first game at the venue in 50 years, but capacity has been reduced as works continue on the main grandstand.
Tickets for the game go on sale at Ticketmaster from 9am with all proceeds directed to the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.
Works to bring the ground up to standard for the VFL season, including a $1 million refurbishment of the Jack Dyer Stand, are ongoing.
The Tigers’ stand-alone VFL side will play nine matches at Punt Rd Oval this season, seven of them as curtain raisers to Richmond games at the MCG.
The last VFL game at the ground was against Hawthorn in 1964.
“It is fantastic that we’ve been able to get these interface works underway and we expect they will be fully completed in time for our first home VFL game,” Richmond CEO Brendon Gale said yesterday.
“It will however impact capacity for our practice game against Essendon and it is really important supporters of both clubs are aware of that fact.”
The Richmond-Essendon match kicks off at 1pm on Friday, March 7.

They should have waited until next year for the grand revival match, the first afl game played since 1964, to have it with a capacity crowd of 20,000 or what ever it will hold when it's all finished.
Stoopid bloody time to have it anyway.
This is one big balls up as far as I'm concerned, especially when it comes to supporters wanting to see football at their beloved home ground.
Surely no idiot would intentionally schedule a game like this, with this much history behind it, without having the supporters in mind.

I believe the capacity will be less than 10k, they said at the AGM back in Dec they were expecting crowds of 5-8k most games so the ground would have the work done based on that
Though that was Dec it is now February could have changed. ;D

It's a practice match. They play them at country grounds all over Australia and many of them don't have much more capacity than PRO will have that day. And I repeat, it's a practice match, a training drill if you like.
-
theres too much stupidity in this thread. PRO is our historical home but after the first bit of enthusiasm we will all find that the capacity of the ground wont need to be more than 3000-4000 people because thats how many people at most will be attending any match at Punt Road. Asking the club to pay for extra capacity is stupid. Itll just take away from our football resources.

No real need to repeat something so obvious.
Anyhow, it was more about the fact that Lids and the rest of the boys were excited and proud to play a match on Punt rd Oval. Which is what he was saying on triple m the other day.

Then there's probably no need to go round calling club officials idiots for recognising that either.

This is one big balls up as far as I'm concerned, especially when it comes to supporters wanting to see football at their beloved home ground.
Surely no idiot would intentionally schedule a game like this, with this much history behind it, without having the supporters in mind.
:facepalm

Daniel Jackson and Jack Riewoldt return for Richmond practice match
Jon Ralph
Herald Sun
February 28, 2014 7:19PM
RICHMOND expects to welcome back stars Jack Riewoldt and Daniel Jackson on Friday at a Punt Rd Oval practice match it fears will burst at the seams.
The Tigers take on archrival Essendon at their traditional Richmond home, but with all 2100 tickets already sold, the club hopes not to have to turn away disappointed punters desperate to watch the contest.
The clash is the first VFL/AFL match at the ground in almost 50 years, but also the last chance for Riewoldt (calf tightness) and Jackson (hip/groin) to get match practice ahead of the Round 1 Metricon Stadium clash against the Gold Coast.
If Riewoldt trains well as expected next week he should get his first match practice of the pre-season, with reigning best-and-fairest winner Jackson also hopeful of playing.
The Tigers believe Jackson’s niggling injury is improving.
Punt Rd is still undergoing renovation ahead of hosting VFL games this year, with gate proceeds on Friday going to the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.
The last AFL-VFL senior game played at Punt Rd was on August 22, 1964, between Richmond and Hawthorn.

Sounds like a few Bomber supporters have been able to get tickets too :P.
From Bomberblitz:
Was there [Punt Rd Oval] for a game today.
Ground surface is magnificent.
Change rooms are both ready to go.
So there are no issues for the players.
As for the facilities, it's gonna be standing room only...literally.
In front of the freight container shaped pavilion.
Both ends.
The Punt Road wing.
There is also no functioning scoreboard, let alone a time clock.
There are 2 entry points - at both ends of the ground.

I left it too late to secure a ticket, but if the Richmond Official is reading this I'd like to ask if it will be possible to watch from the footpath along Punt Road, or if the club will be putting up a screen to prevent viewing?

The VFL practice game stream was pretty good. It was only towards the end of the quarters it laggy issues for me.
besides, quality of the stream is more a network issue that those doing the televising.
dont expect that to get any better in the near future either, with the NBN being bastardised to serve the elite few.

SEN just said Carlisle reported for kneeing Morris in the midrift. They only mentioned Cotch and TV were subbed off with leg injuries which we already know.
Tone Greenberg @TigerlandTone 3m
"Won every quarter. Best: Houli, Grigg, Dusty, Astbury, Lids, Madonna. Negatives: potential injuries, still a fair few double touches. 7.5/10"
@RussoCam - "do you think knights will slot in for round 1 I didn't see the match as I'm away?"
@TigerlandTone - "Had some nice touches when he came on but I wouldn't think R1."

Have an eight day break so hopefully Vickery and Cotch will come up. If they are carrying an niggles I say rest them and give some of the other guys a go against Gold Coast
Is the game going to be replayed somewhere?

@TigerlandTone - "Cotch and TV came off but pretty sure more precautionary than anything. Though guessing on Ty"

Indeed.
That sense of self entitlement is far worse than anything Fevola had.
His first goal was off the back of a 50 mtr pen and the second one was a gimmee.
Did he take any contested marks that resulted in a shot at goal ?

Pretty sure it was his right calf that was strapped at three quarter time.

Correct. There's a pic of him in the gallery on the RFC site - right calf strapped.
-
Anyone have feedback on Banfields effort, I noticed his name alongside the word "skillful" so that in itself is worth following up on.
-
Banfield seemed to slot right In.

That's interesting .has been seen in last week with compression bandage on left leg

Jon Ralph @RalphyHeraldSun twitter:
"Dimma adamant Cotchin and Vickery will play next week. Says both came off with cork and tight back respectively as precaution"
-
Vickery playing gridiron as I type. Reckon he's alright.
-
Mate of mine spoke to one of the club docs as we left the ground. Said Cotchins calf was nothing to worry about.
-

Thought he played very well for the limited game time he had.
Good tackling and chasing up forward and kicked a good crumbing goal.
-
Good to hear :clapping
bring on the real stuff
-
Are the loonies on Bomberblitz happy with their sides pumping today? They should be delighted we even invited their rabble to come to Punt Road Oval. We were courteous, we were hospitable and we sent them away having giving them the treatment nice and proper ;D

He didnt get alot of it, but there were one ot two moments when he won the ball in the mid through absolute craft. The particular one in the second half he did it under huge pressure from a position of disadvantage then hit Grif on the tit laces out with a 45m kick.
I didnt think much of him before today but I reckon theres a massive to him.

Was there a scoreboard and a timer?
Are you fixing up The Jack Dyer Stand?
Surely the ground could easily hold 10,000.
5,000-6,000 were at the last training session before last years final and there were sections still blocked off.
-
No scoreboard or timer, think they are doing the one up that sits on the hill near punt rd.
Yes they are doing up the dyer stand, looks like the coaches boxes will be up there also.
Think it will be around 8K when done?
-
no the jack dyer stand is not being fixed. Too many possums reside there and they don't want to displace them.
Yes the ground could easily hold 10k, but with all possums there is no room left.

Benny Gale has apparently asked Plough to come and clear out all the possum poo. It was one of the few jobs that he did really well in his time at the club! ;D
-
It's been a pretty good pre-season for the Tigers. Everyone has done well when they have had an opportunity. It's going to be tough to pick a side for round one with a lot of boys having put their hands up..
I hope Hardwaick and co pick a side on form rather than the name and reputation.
I cannot wait for round one and the season ahead, I predict us to be top four and a real contender unlike the flogs in the media. Our depth has improved and with Cotch, Martin, Lids and Jack and being genuine superstars we have to be a massive show.

Agree with most of this, though I don't think we will be top 4, reckon 5th-6th myself but the rest fair call

Foley solid as VFL Tigers fall short
John Lindon
March 8, 2014 12:41 PM
Richmond fielded 12 players from its senior list including Aaron Edwards, Dylan Grimes, Jake King and Nathan Foley, and was met by a similarly structured Collingwood side.
Foley was a prolific ball-winner early for the Tigers, constantly beating opponents to the ball. He worked tirelessly in packs, chased well and kicked a goal. He finished with seven clearances and 26 possessions, 16 of which were contested.
Experienced forward Aaron Edwards snared three strong contested marks and kicked a goal in a tight first quarter.
Brett O’Hanlon was also busy and kicked two goals – the first of which came from a long set shot after the quarter-time siren.
Sam Lloyd was among Richmond’s best, causing problems for Collingwood with his pressure and attack on the ball up forward.
Dylan Grimes was a composed figure in the heart of the Richmond defense and set a high standard with consistent efficient disposal. He laid a team-high six tackles and was dutifully assisted by Ben Darrou, who held his own in marking contests and also provided valuable run and carry.
Both Brad Helbig (13 possessions) and Jake King (11) provided options and won the ball across half-back and half-forward respectively.
Hard-working midfielder, Anthony Miles capped off his impressive pre-season campaign with a late goal.
RICHMOND: 3.1 5.1 7.3 8.4 (52)
COLLINGWOOD: 3.4 6.7 8.9 11.13 (79)
GOALS: O’Hanlon 2, Lloyd 2, A. Edwards, Miles, Foley, Bathie
BEST: Foley, Lloyd, Miles, Darrou, Grimes, O’Hanlon

who was tall blonde kid on bench alot in last 1/4?

The biggest positives for mine out of the praccy match were:
Griffiths- looks stronger, has filled out a bit which he needed to do, confidence is up and imposed himself on an albeit weak Essendon tall brigade with Daniher in the ruck
McDonut- ran hard, earned his touches, harassed well, is coming on well.
Astbury- an adequate game, is a good enough depth player
Thomas- looks and plays like a 300 game country footballer, leads hard, crashes through and finds the target, impressive game
Banfield- is a good solid footballer, knows how to get the ball
Knights- just good to see him running around in match conditions
I am very impressed with our depth. I am not one for wild March predictions but I agree with Big Tone I am thinking Top 4. We are looking at a situation where there are 23-24 players all with very good claims for selection. I think it's going to be a tough year for Tiger favorites like Jake King and Nathan Foley to get games.

Was not Jake the alleged drug cheat Carlisle on griffo...
In reckon astbury gave joe a bath

Elton was one I was interested in, kicked a goal too. I wanted to try and get hold of a rerun and see how he went, anyone have a good look at him?
-

I had the glasses on Elton. He has physically developed heaps since he got to the club. He is a very solid boy now!!
Thought he played well and competed well. Kicked a goal from close in and kicked one out on the full from an acute angle.
I like him. I like Griff too. I have always felt we have entered games one or two bigger men too few.
These are the guys that will push us up to real flag threats when they are fully developed in 2 years. We must hang on to them and continue to develop them.
I know claw will say they have done SFA until now and he is correct. But only the elite few big men star from 19 or 20 years of age. Most don't really get their act into gear till they are 23 to 25.
-
I think there are very few players that we keep on our list over a number of years that don't improve significantly now. In the past players would stagnant and given go backwards once drafted, now we need to not just thank our recruiting department but also our development coaches too. Chocco in particular is a master at instilling confidence and tough love at the same time. If Griffiths steps up this year it won't be just because his shoulders have strengthened.
I was impressed by Elton too. Our 2nds team will be very interesting viewing this year :thumbsup
-
Thanks for the info, I am thinking the same, if we can get Griff and Elton into the mix playing good football things are gonna get real around here.

Agree with all of that. Have been saying since last season, if we are to become genuine contenders we will need several of Griff, Elton, Astbury, batchelor, Arnott and Helbig to step up and become best 22 players over the next year or 2.. Claw in one post will talk about giving talls x amount of time and then in another post will go hammer and tongs at them claiming they are lucky to be on the list and only the rfc hangs on to duds for this long.
