Benny Gale taking it upon himself as the CEO to drag our club out of these dark times and putting on the jumper to earn himself an AFL recall :clapping

No Conca , Foley still injured ?
-
Would love Elton to come on. We are always stretched down back with 196cm + opposition forwards. He should have come in for Astbury who had a stinker. The guy is clearly out of sorts following the barb in his foot. Perfect opportunity to give big Elton a go........

No Conca , Foley still injured ?
Yep, Dimma said yesterday Foley's knee was still sore, and Conca pulled up sore after last week's run, but should be right for next week

Must be close to a call up if he was good again today. Kid can play!
Can anyone tell me why you wouldn't upgrade a rookie when you have LTI and you are playing poo?

VFL forwards fire against North Ballarat
By catherine Durkin
May 10, 2015
A concerted team-effort has led Richmond’s VFL squad to a dominant 82-point win over North Ballarat at the ME Bank Centre on Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers' twin tall targets Liam McBean (five goals) and Ty Vickery (three) were the beneficiaries of an impressive offensive performance, which improved the team's record to 2-2 after four rounds.
The Tigers got away to a quick start with a goal to Vickery in the opening minute, setting the pace for the day, with players from all areas rushing to join the goal-kicking list.
VFL coach Tim Clarke said he was thrilled to see his players finally performing at such a high standard.
“We’ve seen signs in the last couple of weeks of the type of footy we would like to play, and that we know we can play,” he said.
“The boys were much better offensively today. It’s something we have been working on.
“We’ve been giving up far too many turnovers through the middle of the ground but today the boys used the ball better. And they also competed better.
“The forwards were met down the line and were able to win more contests. So it was a really pleasing performance from them.”
Clarke also applauded the game of rookie Jason Castagna, who continues to improve every week.
“He provides our team with so much run and excitement. He’s playing some really good football at the moment off half-back. We just love when the ball is in his hands,” he said.
“He’s still working on his composure with the footy to be able to make better options. But he’s going to be a really good footballer for us, we just need to continue working on the areas of his game that are going to make him a competitive, AFL half-back.”
Shaun Hampson dominated the ruck contest and gave his midfielders first use. He collected 41 of Richmond’s 49 hitouts,
Matt Arnot lead the charge around the ball, gathering 24 disposals, five clearances and five tackles. Matt McDonough and Andrew McQualter were equally impressive around the ball, with 22 and 19 disposals respectively.
Matt Thomas dominated early, with nine touches to quarter time, but sustained a leg injury early in the second quarter and played no further part.
Connor Menadue, Nick Wynne and Reece McKenzie were also impressive up forward, kicking two goals each.
The Tigers face Collingwood’s VFL squad this Sunday afternoon, at the ME Bank Centre, in Round 5.

Richmond’s VFL coach Tim Clarke's summary of how our AFL-listed players performed:
Matt Arnot
24 disposals, five clearances, five tackles
Produced his best performance of the year to date, playing mainly through the midfield. Won plenty of ball, had more than 10 contested possessions, tackled well all day, and got plenty of clearances. Really happy with what Matty was able to do with the footy, which is something he has been working on.
Matt Dea
21 disposals, nine contested possessions
Played a really good defensive game. Helped to set up our defenders right throughout the match, which was really important, given that we have a young defence. Also helped set us up offensively with 21 disposals and plenty of movement going forward.
Matt McDonough
22 disposals, five clearances, 11 contested possessions
Spent the majority of the match in the midfield, with a couple of spells up forward. Was quite influential, with 22 touches, including 11 contested possessions. The best thing about Matty’s game was that a lot of his disposals were of AFL standard, which is what we expect from him.
Jason Castagna
21 disposals, four tackles, nine contested possessions
Had another really solid game off half-back. Won the ball well and provided plenty of run-and-carry, which is what we are starting to expect from him. Defensively, he again was sound, getting the job done. Hopefully, in the next two-three weeks, we can start to see him push hard for senior selection.
Todd Elton
16 disposals, seven marks
Spent most of the game down back and was really solid defensively. Was up against a quality forward opponent in North Melbourne-listed Aaron Black, who’s played a fair bit of senior footy, and he did the job. Black had only eight or nine touches and didn’t have a shot for goal, so Todd played his role extremely well. Also took seven marks, with three or four of those being chop-out grabs. His game is really starting to build.
Sam Lloyd
16 disposals, 12 contested possessions, four tackles
His contested work was outstanding . . . he never loses a one-on-one contest at VFL level. Needs to keep performing in this area, if he is to regain his place in the senior side. Unfortunately, wasn’t accurate in front of goal, finishing with only four behinds. Must take his opportunities when they present.
Connor Menadue
16 disposals, two goals
Played a mix of forward and wing. Was pretty dynamic going forward, having three or four shots for goal, kicking two, and helping set up two or three others. Some of Connor’s possessions were of AFL quality, and we’re starting to see a real player in him. Just needs to keep working on his contested work and pressure, which we know that he can bring, due to his speed and reading of the play.
Liam McBean
Five goals, 13 disposals, five marks
Was much better last Saturday. Ended up having seven shots for goal, finishing with five goals, two behinds. His contested work was as good as it’s been. He led well and presented as a dangerous target for our ‘mids’. It was really pleasing for him to finally be rewarded with some goals.
Ty Vickery
Three goals, 12 disposals, six contested possessions
Worked tirelessly all game up forward. Had a pretty good match-up in North Melbourne-listed Joel Tippett. Ended up kicking three goals, but probably could have had another three or four, if a few contests inside 50 had gone his way. Ty’s attitude, and his ability to keep competing and set up our forward line, was terrific throughout.
Reece McKenzie
Two goals, 11 disposals, eight marks
Played one of his best games for the year. Took some really good, strong, contested marks and had three or four shots for goal, finishing with two majors. Is really starting to develop into the key forward that we know he can be. Just need him to play good, consistent footy.
Shaun Hampson
41 hitouts, 10 disposals, three clearances
Another really good game in the ruck from Shaun. Gave our mids first use right from the opening bounce. Was solid with his second efforts, too, which is something he’s been working on and it was pleasing to see him go forward and have two or three shots for goal. Also took some big marks, which we need him to do if he is to be a consistent performer at AFL level.
Matt Thomas
10 disposals, three clearances, two tackles
Had an excellent start to the match. Was our most dominant player in the first quarter, with a swag of disposals, most of them contested. But after really setting the scene early, he unfortunately got stepped on by one of the North Ballarat players in a contest and needed to sit out the rest of the game. Hopefully Matt can get his body ready for next Sunday’s game.

So if he uhhh beat his opponent is that what he means? Because I thought that was his job, not just to hope the ball lands in his lap. Although I guess from seeing him play in the AFL we all know he loves to lead away from the ball carrier to make it a much harder kick, but at least he gets a cheapie over the top
