McBean kicks five in big VFL win
John Lindon
July 5, 2014 5:20 PM
A strong all-round team performance and five-goal haul from Liam McBean helped the VFL Tigers to a convincing 35-point win over Casey at the ME Bank Centre on Saturday afternoon.
McBean impressed with his versatility up forward, converting from open play, set shots and stoppages. A clinical goalkicking display saw him kick his five goals from just seven kicks after what has been a tough few weeks for the young Tiger.
“It’s been a bit of a challenge up forward,” McBean said. “I haven’t really impacted as much as I would have liked. It’s good to finally get on the end of a couple of goals.”
“We’ve had a couple of tough losses but we came back and responded really well. We were confident going into the game and it’s really good to get a win.”
Hard-running Matt McDonough was a standout in an efficient Richmond midfield. A consistent four-quarter effort saw him collect 24 possessions, six clearances and kick two goals.
Ben Lennon also impressed with another solid display through the midfield and worked hard all over the ground to finish with 20 disposals and a goal.
The Tigers came out firing with McBean booting two majors inside the opening ten minutes of the game. Casey responded to level the scores before the Tigers slammed through five unanswered goals on either side of the quarter-time break.
Richmond’s forwards excelled both individually and as a unit. Aaron Edwards got back to provide an option for defenders, Sam Lloyd presented and marked well and Ben Griffiths regularly beat two opponents. The trio all managed to impact the scoreboard, with Richmond’s 15 goals all coming from AFL-listed players.
Lloyd’s figures of 2.4 could have been considerably better had he taken his chances in front of goal, but he impressed with his ball-winning ability and finished with 20 disposals, 15 of which were contested.
Resolute defending, as well as the Scorpions wayward goalkicking, saw Casey go goalless in the third term while the Tigers extended their lead. Nathan Batsanis and Nick Wynne (27 disposals) again found a lot of the ball while rebounding defenders Ed Barlow and James Wall continued their strong seasons.
The Tigers were never threatened in the final term and would have registered a bigger win if not for three late Casey goals.
RICHMOND 4.5 9.9 12.13 15.16 (106)
CASEY 2.3 4.5 4.9 10.11 (71)
Goals: McBean 5, McDonough 2, Lloyd 2, Lennon, Gordon, Stephenson, Griffiths, A. Edwards, Darrou
Best: McBean, McDonough, Lennon, Stephenson, Lloyd, A. Edwards

For the Tigers, Matt McDonough was among the best with 24 touches and two goals.
Small forward Sam Lloyd (two goals) and Ben Lennon were also solid performers in the win.

From what I've seen of big o , had we used him rather than hampson we may well have won a couple extra games and season still alive :huh

Derickx , big o

Yes that has been widely posted.

Richmond VFL coach Tim Clarke's summary of how the AFL-listed players performed at VFL level in Saturday’s win over Casey:
Matt McDonough
2 goals, 24 disposals, 6 clearances
Played midfield and forward in what was probably his best game for the year. His ability to get to stoppages and contests and spread hard was the most impressive thing about his game.
Aaron Edwards
1 goal, 20 disposals, 8 marks
Aaron was very good in a supporting role up forward. He realised quickly that the other forwards had better match-ups so he pulled himself out of position to allow them to kick goals. Also worked hard up the ground and had an impact.
Ben Lennon
1 goal, 20 disposals, 6 tackles
Played more forward on the weekend than he has been recently. Still managed to find a lot of the ball and tackle well, which was a focus for him.
Sam Lloyd
2 goals, 20 disposals (15 contested)
Probably the most dominant player on the ground of the small men. His involvement as a forward was terrific and was among the best on the ground.
Brad Helbig
19 disposals, 5 tackles
Brad played a mixture of half back and through the midfield, his contested work in the second half was terrific when we really needed it. A really solid performance from him.
Nathan Gordon
18 disposals, 6 marks
Another solid game on the wing, his work rate is really noticeable. He’s continuing to understand his role at setups and running patterns so he’ll continue to work on that.
Ben Darrou
16 disposals, 1 goal
Solid defensive game yet again. There wasn’t an ideal match-up for him but he was able to move around the back six in order to position himself on the best forward at the time. Ben also help set us up offensively.
Todd Banfield
14 disposals, 13 tackles
Very good defensive game again with his tackling. Didn’t hit the scoreboard himself but helped set up two or three goals. It was his most active game and he isn’t far off a breakthrough performance.
Orren Stephenson
1 goal, 11 disposals, 6 marks, 35 hit outs
Probably the most dominant big guy in regards to hit outs. His work rate was terrific all day and gave our midfielders first use. He was able to get around the ground, take some strong contested marks and hit the scoreboard.
Liam McBean
5 goals, 10 possessions
Aside from kicking goals, he worked up and down the ground, which was good to see. He also played a role in a couple of other goals. He’s still working on his marking and clean ball-handling in order to make him into a good senior player.
Todd Elton
9 disposals, 5 marks
Played down back last week and was good in his role on Casey’s two key forwards. They had no impact on the game. He was beaten a couple of times but won his position overall.
Shaun Hampson
9 disposals, 35 hit outs, 5 tackles
Another big man that played a solid game for us. Worked hard around the contest with some quick releases to our midfielders. He didn’t impact the scoreboard as much we would’ve liked.
Ben Griffiths
1 goal, 8 disposals, 6 marks
Led hard all day and provided a good target up forward. He only hit the scoreboard once but had three or four shots that he should’ve converted. The work rate was there we just need him to finish off.

Great to see Lennon in the best. Looks like he is a genuine forward, play him there. Simple!
With another pre season he will be a regular in the ones next year.
-
I think he could become a half-back, maybe spend pre-season and first few rounds there and see if it works. :banghead

And I know you're not a fan BT but gee I wish they would give McDonough a sustained chance in his true position in the seniors instead of trying to develop him by RFC101 - every man is a backman.

And/Or give him a block of games without dropping him
Too much to ask for
Gotta play the 30 year olds instead
