Left after 3/4 time. Anyone know?

Lost by 7p which is about 15 goals closer than I thought so we must have had a few good players, my mail was knights knocked up plenty of ball
-
Thanks.
From what I saw Knights was BOG. Played in the centre and racked up clearances x billions from both our rucks and theirs.
I'd be stunned if he doesn't come in next week. Then again, this is Hardwick we are talking about

Was it reminiscent of Ablett in 89 Grand Final?
Must play next week.

Word is that Ellis looked classy and was in our bests.
Good news considering that this was his first full game after having no pre-season.

He played a full game last week also, I missed the last 1/4 yesterday but saw the previous 7 1/4 that he played.
I reckon he is 4-6 weeks away from AFL
I also reckon when he gets there he will stay in barring injury
He just looks all class,although he did stuff 1 kick yesterday !
-
Correct .C.Ellis played the week before and his little pre season
Would think at least 6 weeks away
Look as though the kid can play but hardly in any condition to play AFL level

Good to hear about Ellis. For no reason what so ever I've been jumping on his band wagon lately despite not seeing him play :lol

VFL Tigers shaded by Bulldogs

Despite a well-rounded team performance on Saturday afternoon, the Richmond VFL squad lost narrowly to Footscray in its final practice match of the pre-season.
After clawing back a three-goal deficit in the third quarter, the Tigers fell seven points short in a game which saw the lead change multiple times in the last quarter.
In a much-improved performance to the previous week against Essendon, players linked up fluently through the midfield and managed to hit up targets effectively.
The game also saw the return of midfielder Nathan Foley. In half a game, the AFL veteran added a level of class around the ball, and made it through the game unscathed. He finished with 12 disposals and six clearances.
As a team, Richmond dominated the clearances, with 53 to Footscray's 28. This was facilitated largely by the ruck work of Shaun Hampson, who gained 40 of Richmond's 48 hit outs.
Chris Knights shone throughout and was dominant around stoppages. He finished with a game-high 29 disposals and eight clearances.
The Tigers’ top pick in the 2014 draft, Corey Ellis, looked strong across half back, winning 20 disposals and four clearances.
Captain Jaryd Cachia also improved on his last outing, collecting 20 disposals, five clearances and kicking his first goal in the yellow and black.
Others to impress included Jayden Short, with 20 disposals and two goals, and Nick Wynne, with 21 disposals.
Richmond will meet Coburg at Piranha Park next Saturday in Round 1 of the VFL home-and-away season.
Final scores
Richmond 12.7.79
Footscray 13.8.86
Goals:
Richmond – McBean 2, Short 2, Knights, Cachia, Barlow, Aarts, McDonough, Hampson, Quinn, McKenzie
Footscray – Hamilton 3, Dale 2, Hrovat, Stevens, Buchannan, Campbell, Kelly, Fort, Hayes, Redpath
Richmond best: Knights, Wynne, C.Ellis, Short, Cachia, Barlow, Arnot
