anyone going?

With a likely possibility we are without Maric and Griff next week its a chance for a couple of players to put their hands up and say pick me. If they can't do something at VFL level then it clearly shows our lack of depth especially in the talls department.

clearly it is, as is televising them up here where there there would be more interest that the dribble they put on.
you just have to love the notion of having exclusive rights, yet showing as little to as few as possible

Astbury played out the game but has his arm iced.
Elton with ice on his knee.
Commentators praising Lennon, Astbury and Morris for standing up in the last quarter.
-
Astbury a chance to replace Griff next week?
-
Astbury played in defence and only pushed up the ground to get that goal right at the end. So I don't see him replacing Griffs.
Matt Thomas continues a string of impressive performances with 30 touches.
Ben Lennon not far behind with 25.
Matt Dea finished with 23.
McBean with 4 goals said it was just a slog out there and it was just pot luck kicking for goal at one end of the ground.
-
Looks like Mcbean could come in for griff, wouldn't mind Thomas in for lambert who s struggling with the step up to senior footy , two games now < 10 possies
-
It seems like Lennon played well so I would put him in rather than Thomas.
McBean in for Griff if he does not come up.
-
Don't care if Thomarse gets 50 touches a week in the VFL, he should as that's his level, his selection would be a backward step...if we upgrade another rookie this year it has to be Short......
-
Thomas should be in ahead of Lambert , two games with plenty of TOG for 8 possies ea is not contributing to the level required at afl ...lol short :lol at least 12 months off,,
-
As if you've even seen Short for more than 5 minutes....posting out of your clacker as usual...
McDonough, Lennon, Ellis when fit or even Menadue should come in for Lambert before Thomarse does...hell I'd even play Lloyd ahead of him...

-
Thomas avg 20 possies a game at 75% eff , half of them contested I'd doubt any of those listed could contribute that , not in one game , perhaps a month :shh
-
Still think we need another inside mid. Thomas might fill that void until the end of the season. Anyway the lad is literally banging the door down

Give the man a cigar ^^^^ he s the man until someone better comes along ,

Thomas, McBean, Lennon stand up
Brent Diamond
The Age
July 6, 2015
Richmond fringe players Matt Thomas, Liam McBean and Ben Lennon were the keys to the Tigers' third VFL win of the season, by 32-points over North Ballarat at Eureka Stadium on Sunday.
Midfielder Chris Knights also made a good return from a hamstring injury sustained in round three against Brisbane.
Playing on limited game time, Knights collected 11 disposals in the first half with the highlight being his ability to break away from two opponents before setting up McBean, who kicked the first of his four goals.
Thomas was the most influential with 30 disposals. The Tigers insist the 28-year-old "continues to knock on the door" of the senior team, but the rookie-listed midfielder has yet to earn a call-up after playing 13 AFL matches last season.
Lennon was also prolific with 25 touches, while McBean, a joint winner of the Frosty Miller Medal for the top goalkicker last season, climbed into the top 10 with 19 for the season. Hawthorn's Sam Grimley leads with 24.
McBean said it was important for the Tigers to finish the game off after fighting hard for a 15-point lead at the last change in a tough, low-scoring affair. The Tigers won 11.9 (75) to 6.7 (43) after keeping the Roosters goalless in the first half.
"I suppose we've had a couple of games like that where we've been up at three-quarter-time and let it slip, so it was really important for us to keep the intensity we had in the first three quarters," McBean said.
Roosters coach Gerard FitzGerald maintained his team were "a good chance" at three-quarter-time but was clearly disappointed with the outcome. It was FitzGerald's first match since being told that his contract would not be renewed at the end of the season.
The Tigers, whose previous win was in round four, now leapfrog the Roosters and Coburg to 12th position.

VFL Tigers snap losing streak
By Catherine Durkin
July 6, 2015
Richmond's VFL squad has broken a six-game losing streak, securing its third win of the season after defeating North Ballarat by 32 points at Eureka Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
In what was a relatively scrappy and low scoring contest early, the Tigers only managed two goals in the first half, while keeping the Roosters goalless.
A bit of life was injected into the game after half time, with Richmond kicking three goals to the Roosters' two in the third, before the Tigers finally kicked clear in the final quarter.
VFL coach Tim Clarke with pleased with the way his players rallied after a slow start to the game.
“A few guys were playing different positions, and sometimes it takes guys a little bit to get going and to get settled,” he said.
“Early we just weren’t making good decisions, we were second to the ball and then we weren’t putting pressure on.
“That changed after quarter time and I thought the boys were terrific from then on.
“The most pleasing thing was the effort of the guys. If you look at the tackle numbers, the boys had 80 tackles to 58, and I think that was following only nine or so in the first quarter.
“So the intensity around the contest was fantastic, and that’s what got us the result.”
On a day when goals were difficult to come by, Liam McBean was the difference up forward. After starting in the ruck, he moved forward and finished with four goals.
In the absence of Shaun Hampson, who was a late withdrawal, Clarke praised the efforts of stand-in ruckman James Wall, who enabled McBean to move forward.
“For Beany to kick four goals was really helpful. I thought he and the other key forwards were all very strong in the air today, which is something that we’ve lacked,” he said.
“James Wall, who’s played on the wing all year, played in the ruck, and that allowed us to play Liam forward for the majority of the game, and without him playing that role for us, those goals don’t happen. So that was really pleasing.”
Matt Thomas was a consistent performer all day, continuing his impressive VFL form. He collected 30 disposals, won eight clearances and provided integral pressure in every contest he entered.
The game also marked the return of Chris Knights, the first step in his lengthy recovery from a serious hamstring injury. He was lively early, gathering 11 touches before being rested in the second half.
Richmond travels to Preston City Oval next Saturday to take on the Northern Blues.

Good to see Mckenzie finding a bit of the football. Think he is developing quite nicely at this point.

Richmond’s VFL coach Tim Clarke's summary of the AFL- listed players:
Matt Thomas
30 disposals, 17 contested possessions, 8 clearances, 8 tackles
Played his best games of the year for us, that strings together two really strong games in a row. His decision making with the ball was really crucial for us. He’s now playing AFL-standard footy which is great for us.
Ben Lennon
25 disposals, 9 contested, 3 marks
Played his best game for us on the wing; this was his second or third week playing on the wing. He continues to improve in this area. He got up and down the ground well and used the ball as well as Benny does, we were extremely pleased with his performance.
Matt Dea
23 disposals, 9 contested possessions, 1 goal
Continues to play solid football in the backline, he had plenty of interception marks, and won critical contest for us. A player who is pushing for senior selection.
Matt McDonough
18 disposals, 10 contested possessions, 7 tackles
Only played a half of footy and still had 18 touches. Impacted the game in crucial stoppages and played a high level of AFL footy. Another player pushing for senior selection.
Liam McBean
16 disposals, 6 marks, 4 goals
Worked tirelessly in the ruck for us and gave our midfielders fresh use of the ball. He was able to get forward and kick four goals. It has been a tough couple of weeks for Liam and hopefully he's pushing for senior selection in the coming weeks.
David Astbury
13 disposals, 6 marks, 1 goal
It was good to see David back out to his marking best. We were really pleased with his development, in the last couple of weeks, coming back from injury. It wouldn’t be surprising if he was playing senior footy in the next few weeks.
Reece McKenzie
13 disposals, 6 marks, 1 goal
Had another solid game of footy and continues to compete in the contest, his focus lately has been around the contest and that was shown in his latest game of footy.
Steve Morris
13 disposals, 6 contested possessions
Defensively was outstanding and gave us plenty of run from half-back. He didn’t have the high numbers but the run he provided was invaluable. His hardness and leadership was fantastic all day.
Chris Knights
11 disposals, 4 marks
Only played a half of footy, but played an exciting brand of footy at centre half-forward. He inserted the footy multiple times into our forward half. It was really exciting to have Chris back in the side because of what he brings on and off the field.
Connor Menadue
10 disposals, 5 contested possessions, 3 tackles
Played a different role than usual down back, played a strong defensive game and was strong in critical contest. As a developing player kept finding more and more of the ball which is great from a young player.
Todd Elton
9 disposals, 5 contested possessions
Had a tough defensive match up and did extremely well for three quarters before becoming fatigued due to his first game back after a couple of weeks off due to injury
Sam Lloyd
8 disposals, 6 contested possessions, 1 goal
Only played a half of footy, he had an impact on the game with a goal and played brilliantly in and around the contest.
Jayden Short
8 disposals
Played well as a small forward, but didn’t have a major impact in the game like we usually expect. But as a developing player he will soon become a high-level player. Jayden suffered an injury to his ankle during the game.
Matt Arnot
7 disposals, 2 clearances
Matt played a shutdown role on a small forward from North Ballarat, did exceptionally well and has been really good for us in the last couple if weeks.

I think he's missed the last couple with a knee.
I doubt weather he's even fit enough to play this week.

That's what the Club said. Hampson also missed a couple of games with a knee injury as Loui said.
