Aaron Davey may be playing his first game for our VFL side this weekend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AARON Davey’s run in West Preston-Lakeside’s senior team could be short-lived despite his impressive debut against Heidelberg on Saturday at Warringal Park.
Davey, who played 178 AFL games for Melbourne, was one of the Roosters best in their 13.8 (86) to 9.11 (65) loss to North Football League Division 1 leaders Heidelberg.
While his form would warrant automatic inclusion for West Preston’s clash with Whittlesea this weekend, coach Frank Raso expects Davey to return to Victorian Football League club Richmond.
“I think the Tigers will really want to get him back in the side,” Raso said.
“They really wanted him to have one hit-out after so many months out.
“I dare say he’d be back with Richmond this week.”
Davey racked up possessions across half forward in his first game for months, showing the poise and precise kicking that made him a favourite of Demons’ fans.
Raso said the 30-year-old’s skills were a cut above.
“It was his first run for the year (so) he blew up a bit,” he said.
“His ball use was great, his efficiency was just a class above the rest.”
Davey is listed with the VFL Tigers for 2014, but has aligned himself to play at West Preston when he is not selected by Richmond coach Tim Clarke.
The Tigers play Essendon at the ME Bank Centre this weekend in the first game of a split round, but their VFL bye coincides with the Northern Football League’s week off.
The Tigers only other bye for the remainder of the season is on Saturday, July 19, opening the door for Davey to play against Whittlesea in Round 13 at J.E Moore Park.

It isn't being broadcast because the ABC are showing the VFL v- SANFL games this week as per their contractual agreement with the VFL
This is the only VFL game on this week, which both clubs got special permission for, hence why they don't play next week

Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrug
Cchhhhhhhhheats

Game underway and Essendon kick the first goal.
Listen here: http://t.co/4yj63hvnpm
-
Goal to Aaron Edwards :gotigers.
O'Hanlon has a ping but it's rushed through.
Rich 7
Ess 6
-
Do we know if Daniher or Miles are playing?
:huh
-
O'Hanlon long and Az Edwards is infringed. Set shot from 30m out. Misses.
Turnover from the Bomber kick-in and Azza gets another shot. But Arnot then gives away a free off the ball and it's reversed. To add to the stupidity, Batch then gives away 50m and then another 50 for back-chat :facepalm.
Point to the Bombers. And now the kicker-in steps outside the goalsquare :facepalm.
Rich 8
Ess 8
-
Do we know if Daniher or Miles are playing?
:huh
Haven't heard yet.
-
I just heard Miles called but not sure if its him.
-
O'Hanlon long bomb connects and it's goal :gotigers. Against the run of play in the last mins.
Rich 2.2-14
Ess 1.3-9
-
Az Edwards has it again. This time on the boundary 50m out. Misses to the left.
Rich 15

All our emergencies are playing, not Daniher though.

GOAL! Nick Wynne wins a 50 metre penalty and converts the goal. Continuing his strong form from last week. Tigers lead by 6 :gotigers.
-
Another free gives Essendon a goal ::).
Rich 3.3-21
Ess 3.3-21

Az Edwards another point. He now has 1.3.
Essendon run it down for goal to Jetta.
And another Bomber goal thanks to another 50m penalty ::). Umpires are ridiculously whistle happy.

Richmond 4.4-28
Essendon 5.5-35
Goals: A.Edwards, O'Hanlon, Stephenson, Wynne
-
Stephenson best ruckman on the ground.
O'Hanlon and Wynne been good off half-back.
Difference is execution into and inside forward 50. Add ill-discipline amplified by ticky-touchwood whistle-happy umps that has cost us 3 goals (1 reversal while Azza had a set shot plus two gifted goals to the Bombers).
-
Miles leading the disposals... :whistle
-
Az misses again. 1.4 today.
29 - 35
-
Darrou 1-2 with Miles. Darrou's kick tumbled inside 50 where Azza collects and dishes off to Williams. Goal :gotigers
Rich 35
Ess 36
-
Young out of the centre. Azza gets his hands to it but it goes to ground. Ball up. Good forward pressure and Young gets the goal :gotigers.
Tiges in front.
Rich 6.5-41
Ess 5.6-36
-
Helbig (been good according to the commentators) out of the back pocket goes straight to a Bomber. Luckily it isn't punished.
RichmondVFL twitter saying today has been Williams best game.
Bomber drops the mark and the turnover leads to a Az Edwards mark but it's paid hands in the back.
Breeze picking up across the ground apparently.
Bomber kicks across the face of goal and straight to the Big O. 20m directly in front but he misses.
42 - 37

Good turnout for @RichmondVFL today against the Bombers!

Miles good mark running back. Spins around and from 45m out near the boundary across the face misses.
49 - 37

Commentator: Helbig apart from one mistake has been huge today off half-back.

Bombers have been in attack the last 5 mins and they finally get one. Lackadaisy defence.

Az Edwards 2.4 (really should have at least 5). Today towards the end of quarters he is also dropping back across half-back.
Young and Miles getting a heap of it.
Commentators praised Helbig's game off half-back so far.
Stats (from RichmondVFL twitter):
Miles is the Tigers' leading ball winner so far with 19 disposals.
Young has 14
O'Hanlon 13. O'Hanlon also with 7 inside 50s.
Helbig 12.

Petterd doing well since coming on after half-time.
RFCVFL twitter: "Stephenson has been terrific today - in the ruck and around the ground. Moving very well for a big man."
Elton takes a good grab and has a set shot. BUT it's another reversal off the ball :banghead - this time against Waite.
-
That dumb reversal has cost us back to back goals and kept Essendon in the game ::).
Almost a 3rd straight to the Bombers but they don't make the distance from 20m out. Good chase by Banfield.

J'star plays favorites like Dimma. He stated early that he doesn't rate Myles so he wont acknowledge his good VFL form. On the other hand, he was talking up the recruit of Hampson over summer so he was quick to celebrate his form against GWS. Didn't hear much from J'star about Hampson's pathetic performances in previous rounds though.
To some, footy is all about justifying their opinions.
-
as an outsider, not in melbourne, it seems to me there has been real improvement in the likes of miles helbig surely we have to give these blokes a decent block of games to see where they sit in the scheme of things. id like to see em play the rest of yr if form warrants it.
at the very least we have to change the culture and actually reward good form from those in the twos.
its funny people argue that players arent promoted because they dont earn a spot and play well in the seconds, then when they do play well they find some other excuse to not play em.
we are 3 and 6 its not as if players are keeping them out.

while not arguing here let me say i think hampson has been pretty decent purely as a ruckman in fact id say he has hardly been beaten in the role.
what is of concern is we got him to play more the FWD/ruck role and as you say hes been pathetic in all other areas outside of ruck contests.
now that ivan is back what role do we give hampson.
-
Very disappointed Miles is not playing tonight. The guy will be admitted to hospital soon with leather poisoning. What the hell does one have to do to get a run in a very average senior side?

VFL Tigers win Dreamtime clash
John Lindon
May 31, 2014 5:49 PM
The VFL Tigers took the honours in the first ever VFL Indigenous-themed fixture with a convincing 36-point win over Essendon in front of 2650 fans at the ME Bank Centre on Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers built a match-winning lead with a flurry of goals on either side of half time and maintained a healthy buffer for the rest of the game to clinch the inaugural Sir Doug Nicholls Cup.
Ruckman Orren Stephenson picked up the Sir Doug Nicholls best player award for his standout 20-disposal, 30-hit out, three-goal performance.
Anthony Miles was another contender for the award with a terrific performance that has become standard for the in-form midfielder. He gathered a team-high 35 disposals and always provided an option.
The teams traded goals early as Essendon constantly found loose men in the Richmond defence but a goal from Stephenson after the quarter-time siren kept his side in touch.
The Tigers lifted after the break and goals to Cadeyn Williams, Ross Young and Aaron Edwards – who finished with four – put Essendon on the back foot.
Young lead his team from the front all day. His strong contested work saw him win six clearances and lay five tackles. He was assisted by other hard-bodied ball-winners Brad Helbig (26 disposals) and Matt Arnot (25 disposals) who both found form with impressive performances.
The Tigers didn’t release the pressure after the main break. Sharp, smart ball movement, and a barrage of inside 50 entries saw them pile on seven goals and break the game open.
Luke Conca was lively up forward with two goals and Ty Vickery (21 disposals), Brett O’Hanlon (20) also played their roles well.
Ricky Petterd’s influence ensured that Essendon couldn’t respond. He entered the game after half time and had an immediate impact with his damaging run and carry. He collected 20 possessions and five clearances.
RICHMOND 4.4 7.7 14.10 16.15 (111)
ESSENDON 5.5 6.8 8.9 10.15 (75)
Goals: A.Edwards 4, Stephenson 3, Young 2, L.Conca 2, Wynne, Williams, O’Hanlon, Lloyd, Elton
Best: Stephenson, Miles, Young, Edwards, Helbig, Petterd

It's no secret either

Hopefully the seniors know they need to perform tonight with a number of strong midfield efforts in the ressies. Miles once again getting a stack of it. Big O had his best game in the ressies as well.

I hope the loss to the Dons will finally force Dimmas hand with Miles. Needs to come straight nto the side now. Great effort by the VFL side :clapping
-
Jack was spot on, Hampson grimaced through the whole game.
Why play injured players... defies belief..
-
Yes, play players who love the hard stuff would be a good starting point. Play Miles, Helbig, O'Hanlon as a leading forward and possibly Arnot for the rest of the year. We also need a look at Elton before he gets the chop without being given the chance to show what he can do at an extended period of time.

Around the state leagues: Dumped Tiger impresses
Travis King
afl.com.au
May 31, 2014 8:36 PM
DUMPED forward Ty Vickery impressed as Richmond overcame Essendon by 36 points at Punt Road on Saturday.
The maligned big man went goalless, but gathered 21 touches and improved his work-rate around the ground.
On his 24th birthday, Vickery worked deep into defence and across the wings to find the football and his ruckwork was valuable for the Tigers.
A deft tap down the throat of Sam Lloyd led to a brilliant snap for goal from deep in the pocket in the second quarter.
It was a solid response from the 200cm big man after he was dropped from the senior side this week.
"Ty was stiff to get dropped after kicking a couple last week," Richmond VFL coach Tim Clarke told AFL.com.au.
"He came back here with an unbelievably good attitude, really helped the boys, really led the forward line like we expected him to do.
"(He had) 13 or 14 marks … he really contributed today and if we had used him more inside 50 he probably would have kicked three or four but it just didn't happen today."
Veteran ruckman Orren Stephenson received the Sir Doug Nicholls Medal in the VFL's inaugural indigenous-themed fixture with a superb display at the stoppages and three goals.
Medium-sized forward Aaron Edwards overcame illness to boot 4.6 for the Tigers, while Anthony Miles had 35 touches.
Ricky Petterd came on after half-time and had more than 20 touches. Richmond's win was soured by a foot injury that forced Kamdyn McIntosh from the ground in the second term.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-05-31/around-the-leagues-hunt-stars-vickery-important

Vickery was ordinary. Elton was better (though not by a great deal).
This entire side would've seriously given the Essendon seniors a better run for their money than our seniors. Even the VFL listed hacks. Luke Conca looked better than his little brother for a start.
Stephenson is currently the best ruckman on our list. Including Maric.
Darrou is a gun. Shame he got hurt. If he & Arnot get delisted it'll be an absolute joke. Both should be first team regulars, ahead of the two Port rejects.
Miles in for Grigg.
Petterd is our only half-decent recycled hack and the only one I'd keep. As long is was purely for depth and as a mid/forward. Still butchers it though.
Jake Batchelor - what happened to this kid? Got nothing.
Edwards would be better decoy for Riewoldt - but his goal kicking has completely gone to poo from dead-eye dick to tile splasher. The Richmond effect strikes again. Plus he's too old and not the future - give O' Hanlon a run instead, played alright today.
Helbig is awful - but with the season shot I'd play him too.
Gordon & Lloyd make me think of Marsh & Byrne- Jones and more recently, Langdon. Too be fair Lloyd knows where the big sticks ae has his moments and is generally serviceable....sort of....
Banfumbles.....quick , tackles, runs, goes in hard .....handles it like a bar of soap in the shower and disposal is poo, misses easy shots....but that hardly makes him any worse than half of the current first 22...at least he has those other assets we sorely lack....still relatively young and as I've said before...no worse than White was at the same stage and unlike White , has actually put together a good season early on in his career....despite what tigs says...not even close to the worse player we've ever had....hell, there's worse in our senior side right now. Plus he actually applies defensive pressure in the forward line.

Vickery was ordinary. Elton was better (though not by a great deal).
This entire side would've seriously given the Essendon seniors a better run for their money than our seniors. Even the VFL listed hacks. Luke Conca looked better than his little brother for a start.
Stephenson is currently the best ruckman on our list. Including Maric.
Darrou is a gun. Shame he got hurt. If he & Arnot get delisted it'll be an absolute joke. Both should be first team regulars, ahead of the two Port rejects.
Miles in for Grigg.

We all see things we like and dislike but In my opinion Helbig is not awful. Like Rance, his kicking gets a smashing by some however, reality is he hits more targets than not, tackles, runs both ways, hits the body hard and plays with a purpose. He is one who should be played for the remainder of the year before a decision is made. Not sure why he has not been given a run considering his form this year and the second half of last season was very consistent. Like Darrou, is wasting away in the 2nds.

Well Griffiths had no idea last night in a half l seen, so l would welcome Vickery back with open arms.

Richmond VFL coach Tim Clarke's summary of how the AFL-listed players performed at VFL level in Saturday’s win against Essendon:
Anthony Miles
35 disposals, 5 clearances
He had a terrific game. He's really been working on his outside run and it’s really coming into his game. Had 25 uncontested possession so it’s fantastic for him to start showing he can spread from a contest.
Brad Helbig
26 disposals, 8 rebound 50s, 11 marks
He was very good at half-back. Defensively he’s got some things he needs to work on but he’s contributing well offensively for us at the moment.
Matt Arnot
25 disposals, 7 inside 50s
Had a quiet first half but really came through in the second. Was a big part in us going on to win the game. We can always expect his hardness around the ball. His best game for the year.
Ty Vickery
21 disposals, 13 marks
He was terrific. Didn’t hit the scoreboard, but he put the ball inside 50 well. Was a very dominant big man on the ground, just wasn’t rewarded with goals on the day.
Brett O’Hanlon
20 disposals, 8 inside 50s, 5 tackles
Very good early and had more attacking involvements, which we’ve been asking him to do. A capable game from him.
Ricky Petterd
20 disposals, 5 clearances
Had the first half off and came on at half time. Had a huge impact in the game and was a driving force in our second half.
Orren Stephenson
3 goals, 20 disposals, 30 hit outs
Fantastic on the day. Rucked very well, gave us first use of the ball. Had a big impact up forward. Outstanding contributor.
Aaron Edwards
4 goals, 7 marks
Ended up kicking 4.6. Really presents all day and wins one-on-one contests. His attitude is fantastic.
Cadeyn Williams
1 goal, 16 disposals
Played his best game for the year. Spent some time in the midfield and had a tagging role. Went inside, got plenty of the ball going forward and had several shots on goal.
Jake Batchelor
11 disposals
More of a defensive game this week. Didn’t get as much of the ball as we would’ve hoped but his opponent didn’t have an impact on the game. Good game by him.
Ben Darrou
9 disposals
Very good in his full back position for two quarters but then was injured. Spent time on the bench and forward but he’s in really good form at the moment.
Kamdyn McIntosh
9 disposals
He was very good across the wing and half back in the first half. Found the ball and contributed to our offensive ball movement but was injured and didn’t play after half time.
Todd Elton
1 goal, 5 disposals
Started back and was very good on their key forwards. He was also injured at half time so we had to move him forward but he ended up having three shots on goal. Big contribution.
Todd Banfield
4 disposals
He was very quiet when he played up forward. Couldn’t really get into the game. Went down back on to one of their key forwards and played a role for us but we expect more from him.
Sam Lloyd
1 goal, 4 disposals
He was quiet early, like many of our half forwards. Kicked a goal late but was sore after a knock early and struggled to contribute at the level we want him to.

Banfield 4 disposals in a VFL match. serious & people on here were talking him up to get a game at the elite level. :shh
-
Still play him ahead of Shankwards, Thomas, Grigg & Houli.
-
Todd Elton 5 disposals but a big contribution???
-
Todd Elton 5 disposals but a big contribution???
Surprised by that....actually thought he was better than Vickery who apparently had 21 touches.....neither were particularly impressive though IMO....most of Clarke's assessments are to be taken with a grain of salt and some appear, to my mind at least, to subtly parrot agendas. Talk up the favourites and those they want to keep/promote, luke warm/backhanded/ambivilent (never fully criticise anyone at sensitive new age RFC )towards those whose cards are already marked or are out of favour.
