Richmond brings VFL home this Sunday
richmondfc.com.au
April 30, 2014 1:41 PM
Richmond will bring football home to Punt Road Oval at the ME Bank Centre this Sunday, May 4, when the VFL team plays its first game at its home ground.
The VFL Tigers will take on Geelong’s VFL team at 11.30am, in a curtain raiser to the AFL’s game against the Cats at the MCG in the afternoon.
Due to the ongoing redevelopment works around Punt Road Oval, there will be a reduced capacity of 2500 people able to access the venue. Unfortunately, the Jack Dyer Stand is also currently inaccessible, which means seating undercover is unavailable.
For fans that cannot attend the match, Richmond will live stream the game with full commentary and score updates on its website richmondfc.com.au, or fans can tune into Richmond VFL Radio via the Club’s official app.

There's a capacity of 2,500 due to healthy and safety rules. Once we hit that mark we will be closing the gates.

Fair enough
Though, considering the week the club has had and people are feeling right now I don't think folks are going to be overly impressed if they get locked out :-\
Personally, not even going to try and get it. Don't need anymore frustration from the RFC ;D

Understand completely, as a result we aren't going over the top in promotion. We also have to follow work safety laws.

Understand the OH&S (Worksafe) requirements
Any idea when the thing will be finiashed completely

Hi all, we will run a live video webcast tomorrow for our return to Richmond from 11.25am, as well as still offering live VFL radio.
Full info here: http://tige.rs/1pYMV9y
If you watched our practice match live stream v Sandringham, we will be using that provider and not the one from our practice match v Essendon, so we expect a better quality product. Hope you can tune in.

Cant believe what I am seeing ! We are actually converting goals when we enter our forward line... VFL FWD50 is more productive than AFL FWD50
-
who is number 34?
-
Well hopefully the effort at the MCG is as impressive
Show the intensity, the run, the courage etc then the rest takes care of itself. Just want them to have a dip and play attacking footy.
I'm off to the MCG
-
who is number 34?
McBean.

@RichmondVFL: Lennon wins a free kick and goals - his second. He's been great today. Tigers lead out to 36.
-
Griffiths stands tall to mark in the goal square and goals . His fourth of the quarter! Tigers with a very healthy lead late in the third.

And now Elton wants in on the action and he gets his first :gotigers. Tigers putting on a clinic, superb quarter of footy
-
@RichmondVFL:
Ross Young boots a captain's goal on the run from 55 metres out and that's 12 goals this term from the mighty Tigers! Lead is 57 #gotiges
-

It also shows hoe you respond to being dropped dimma

So.. Griffiths dominating the game, not just with those goals but hes been taking marks and been all over the ground the whole game.. Say vickery has a bad game this arvo ( likely ) Griffo better be named after the bye.. There should be good competition between vickery and griffiths for that spot in the team and I know id rather griff after seeing this game.

Absolutely, will he be recalled though? Wouldnt surprise one bit if he wasnt recalled going on past form from our selection panel

Miles 32 possies (there's still another quarter to go too) :o. 20 contested and 10 clearances.

With King on the LTIL surely 20 contested by 3/4 time alone is enough to see Miles after the bye.

Griffiths gathers off toes with class, passes to O'Hanlon, who goals from 50. Quick ball movement hurting the Cats. Tigers by 58.

Miles, Griffiths lead the way in big VFL win

Richmond’s VFL side delivered its best performance of the season to thrash Geelong by 51 points in the Club’s first home game at the ME Bank Centre on Sunday afternoon.
Despite the difficult, wet conditions, star midfielder Anthony Miles led a third-quarter demolition to see the Tigers boot 12 goals to one and blow the game open, to set up a match-winning lead.
Griffiths was instrumental up forward, booting two goals to begin the Tigers run and finish with four for the quarter. He led up the ground to provide an option, marked strongly and converted well.
Miles built on his strong form and proved why he has been the Tigers most highly rated player at VFL level this season. Yet again he was first to the ball, won it in packs and showcased sublime foot skills in what was a standout performance. He finished with 37 possessions (23 contested), 12 clearances and was clearly best afield.
Ricky Petterd (30 touches) got the Tigers on the board in a tight first term with Ben Lennon also having an impact early. Along with 19 disposals, Lennon provided run and carry and also contributed through one-percenters – he spoiled and smothered well to shut down Geelong’s counter attacks.
The Cats dominated possession in the second term, but a goal from defender Ben Waite kept the Tigers within striking distance.
After half time, it was all Richmond. The Tigers kicked five quick goals to steal the lead and take control of the match.
Nathan Foley had 30 touches and six inside 50s, and constantly found the outside ball, using his pace to surge the team forward.
Liam McBean again played a very term-oriented game and kicked two goals of his own, while skipper Ross Young, Matt Arnot and Nathan Batsanis provided hard bodies at contests.
The Tigers were damaging with quick ball movement and willingness to play on, and in their best quarter of football for 2014, impressed with their effective end-to-end football and reliable conversion.
Griffiths turned provider in the last quarter with a terrific gather to set up a Brett O’Hanlon goal and Richmond remained in complete control to post an important win.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
RICHMOND 3.1 4.2 16.6 18.7 (115)
GEELONG 2.1 5.8 6.9 8.16 (64)
Goals: Griffiths 4, McBean 2, Lennon 2, Stephenson 2, Petterd, Williams, Elton, Arnot, O'Hanlon, Young, Waite, L.Conca
Best: Miles, Griffiths, Foley, Lennon, Petterd, Stephenson

Braved the wintry conditions at Punt road today and saw a great display of running football by the Tiges.
Griff answered the selection panel in a most emphatic way,and took an absolute hanger as well.
MIles is not knocking on the door ,hes smashed it down and is now holding a gun to Dimmas head.what a clearance machine he is.
Foley very good game and noticed that now legendary calf of his is now almost comparable to the good calf.
lennon sublime
Oren dominant
Bean ...kicked a few and competed well
petard great game.and went into the packs fearlessly.
Darou solid
Elton I thought was really good today.Filled a few different roles and did them well
Dea made a huge difference to the backline with his clean and sure hands.
Arnott ok without being dominant..seemed to be injured I think
Ohanlon..solid and thumping kick
batch ..was fine although after half time didn't have a lot to do
But can I add again..................PROMOTE MILES
-
Thanks again for the report G.
Surely now they will promote Miles and bring him in? surely!
-
Cheers Tony..Can I encourage those who can to get along and watch the ressies.For example the early game today gave a great insight into the main game ,for on reflection there was a seismic shift in the clubs approach to playing and this was first reflected in the early game.
Watching football at Punt road made the hairs on my neck stand to attention
-
Good stuff
-
The big question is - where was Thomas?
If Thomas is injured then Miles elevation should be an almost fore-gone conclusion (if it wasn't already!) I was always surprized that they choose Thomas over Miles at the beginning of the year after their preseason form. Imo Miles showed as much inside as Thomas but had better run and disposal. He also has great goal sense and the most important thing of all - determination.
I don't believe that Griff will be played alone side Vickery and Jack. It makes our forward line too tall and reduces our forward pressure by too much. With Vickery playing a much improved game it may have saved his skin. I actually think Griffiths offers us more than Vickery even if they are both playing at their best.
Newman's injury is interesting. What is his actual role? Is it half forward? I would place S.Edwards in this role, move Conca to the wing and then put Miles in the center.
Either way we have two weeks to wait to find out. :thumbsup By the way - great write up Gigantor
-
The big question is - where was Thomas?
Big question :nope
Thomas was held out as an emergency for the AFL game

12 goals in the third quarter Giggsy. Unheard of. Pity I missed it.
Thanks for the informative write up.
-
Laughing at all the angst in this thread about the 2,500 capacity....where was everyone?
Highlight of the day for me . Hope for the future - until we stuff these kids up too. Griffiths and Arnot big FU's to the match comittee. McBean would be an almost guaranteed future star at any other club. Lennon has to be close. Darrou is a gun as far as I'm concerned. Miles surely must be upgraded - though I wouldn't object to either Darrou or Banfumbles taking his place. As rotten as the last few years have been for the latter, he IMO is no worse than everyone's latest "lost champion" White was at the same age, has shown more at least early on in his career and probably has a few more attributes and a higher ceiling. (Not that I'd lose any sleep if we delisted him either - Darrou on the other hand....)
-
Banfield is a poo truck. So was White at the same age. Now there is a fairly large gap. We still needed to upgrade on White anyway. Our problem is at this point White>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Banfield.
Amazing how much better our youth looks when their were some more senior blokes helping them out and the VFL guys played decent too. Was getting worried the VFL side was going to be the same black hole for talent that Coburg was.
Would it be fair to say Darrou is currently our 3rd best tall defender behind Rance/Astbury?
-
Without seeing him at AFL level - Darrou is definitely our 3rd best tall defender IMO.
Banfumbles' line-breaking pace is sorely needed - if nothing else. People forget White was a poo truck right up until before last year and Banfumbles does far more one percent stuff than White ever did at Richmond.
-
Really enjoyed it, as cold as it was! Griff has to be straight back in so much better than vickery
-

Unless he finds a few yards in pace Darrou will get cleaned out by quicker opponents at AFL level. Pace is a major worry with Darrou IMHO.

is he slower than we thought Asbury was, he seems much quicker now, I think some players move as fast as they feel they have to. Once the season is confirmed done and dusted its players like this who should be replacing duds like Chaplin so we can see whether they can cut it or not. Can't see the point of having a player continually in the VFL and not being given at least a couple of games, some tough player management decisions to be made end of year Darrou being one of these.

So even with 20 contested possies, Miles still had an excellent disposal efficiency of 85% and 82% by foot. Lennon also had very good efficiency by foot (78%). Compare both to Petterd (56%) and Foley (39%) who were both below par despite both being praised for getting a lot of the ball. The only thing that will go against Lennon is he had 0 tackles.
