Will be waiting to see how Knights, Thomas, Menadue, Lennon, McDonough, Arnot and McBean go today.
They should be playing for spots for Newman, Morris, Gordon and Edwards. If we go into the Saints game with Newman, Gordon and Morris we will get flogged!!
Can Dea not play because he was named as an emergency??
-
Game just starting now on Seven. Good news. Tigers, going by Clarke are going to play the RICHMOND WAY. Everyone this is our chance to see what is the Richmond way. Fasten your boxing gloves as this could get ugly :snidegrin
:gotigers

McKenzie will play the ruck
-
Blues kick the first
-
The Richmond Way = kicking the ball to your opposition constantly turning the ball over :snidegrin
-
Class by Knights. Equalises.
-
Chris Knights lining up for goal & puts it through for the Tigers first goal. its 1 goal each
-
Richmond Way = backwards football. Gain 20 metres from hard running then kick it backwards 40 metres then have a look around l mean serious this is shocking Sack that Clarke

This is like watching the seniors of Richmond play 6 years ago :thumbsdown

No I didnt, what, who? How.
Thanks for the scores too. :thumbsup
-
Cheers for the updates, TM :thumbsup.
The Blues had the slight breeze in that first quarter so we did okay to be only 4 pts down when we were beaten heavily in the clearances and inside 50s.
Possies:
Wynne 8
Lennon 7
Barlow 7
-
no worries MT you can take it as l got something to do
-
Rain coming down now.
The wind has switched around so we're playing into it for both quarters.
We've got on top in general play and are starting to win the clearances but not putting it on the scoreboard.
McDonough missed two set shots and his kick from the boundary went low to the goalsquare (free to Blues) instead of taking a tough shot.
Knights also just missed a set shot.
So 4 chances for 3 behinds :P.
Rich 2.3-15
Carl 2.4-16

Hail and rain belting down now. A great day for footy :snidegrin.
-
Geez some modern day footballers have got no idea how play in wet conditions :facepalm.
Blues kick the only goal of the quarter right on the siren :banghead. Ball in our forward pocket and the ump 100m away pulls a free to the Blues 70m off the ball ::). They get it forward for another free (shot is missed). We then can't clear it out of defence from the kick-in and the Blues get a set shot on the boundary which is put through the middle as the siren goes.
Half-time
Richmond 2.0 2.3-15
N.Blues 2.4 3.6-24
Goals: Knights, McDonough.

Nothing much to say about our AFL-listed players especially in these conditions where the ball is like soap. Top disposal winners belong to our VFL-listed players - Cachia, Barlow, Wynne.
Lennon was probably our best AFL-listed player before the rain arrived midway through the 2nd. He would around 10 possies so far.
Knights and McDonough have played as midsized forwards and took about 5 marks inside 50 between them that 2nd quarter but missed every set shot :P.
McBean was beaten by Jacksch (sp?) when he started forward and so has been moved into the ruck sharing the duties with Soldo & McKenzie as we don't have a proper spare ruckman at VFL level with Hampson in the seniors.
Thomas has been Thomas. Hard at it in tight but that's about it.
Arnot hasn't done much in conditions that should suit him more.
Menadue quiet as well with no free flowing football.
Astbury rarely sighted as well although not conditions for talls.

Don't know the first thing about him but know a couple of Swan supporters rate him and reckon we could use our first pick on him if he chooses not to go F/S
-
Goal to the Blues (from a free) to start the 3rd.
Loved to know the free-kick count. Umps paying them frees for high tackles while for us it's play on ::).

We actually scored. Knights blind snap around the body is a point.

When is the replay on??
Astbury :bow

We just blew virtually a certain goal :facepalm.
Lennon gets it back on the boundary and his disciplined 'cross' finds Astbury. First GOAL since the 1st qtr.

In the senior side things work when cotchin deledio martin etc. Wax the ball..
The only times the twos looks good pretty much; when knights. Lennon. donuts . make chains forward to mcbean/McKenzie...
-
Conditions have dried out a bit and the wind died down. So we've got back into the game.
We've had a few long kicks deep but too many Tigers all flying and no one staying down.
Finally, McKenzie takes a good pack mark and GOALS :gotigers
Rich 4.4-28
NB 4.6-30
That's the 3/4 time score.
-
Lennon was good again that quarter. Has 20 possies now.
McDonough has 19.
-
Think Lennon needs a run in the seniors. He has talent & the only way we are going to see him progress is playing at the top level
-
Lennon was good again that quarter. Has 20 possies now.

Back-to-back wins for VFL Tigers
By Catherine Durkin
July 12, 2015
A third-quarter resurgence has led the Richmond VFL squad to a comprehensive win over the Northern Blues at Preston City Oval on Saturday afternoon.
After an evenly contested and low scoring first half, largely due to the torrential rain and hail that punctuated the second quarter, the Tigers lifted in the second half, culminating in a five goal to one final term in Richmond’s favour.
VFL coach Tim Clarke said he was thrilled with the players’ endeavour around the contest.
“We had wind today, we had rain today and our boys kept adjusting. The way they competed inside, the way they tackled, and put the Blues players under pressure was terrific,” he said.
“We had that expectation at our footy club this weekend, both last night and today. I thought the midfielders led the way in that area after quarter time and it was really pleasing.”
Clarke shrugged off suggestions that missed scoring opportunities early could have ultimately cost the team, with both teams held goalless in the second quarter.
“I think it’s hard sometimes to talk too much about how the boys convert goals. It’s more about trying to find a free target, trying to get more central shots on goal,” he said.
“The reason we won the game in the end was the way the players competed. Richmond footy is in, it’s hard and we try to make the game as physical as we can to win the game.”
AFL utility Dave Astbury played an influential game up forward and kicked two crucial goals late in the game, which spurred the Tigers to victory.
“The best thing about Dave is he is starting to get back to his best footy,” Clarke said.
“Whether he is playing forward or back for us, we are trying to train him up as that utility. He’s really starting to jump up at the ball now. He took a couple of strong contested marks today in wet conditions.
“He’s going to be a really valuable player for our footy club in the next eight to 10 weeks so we need to get him up and coming so when an opportunity comes he’s ready to take it.”
Recently-upgraded rookie Matt Thomas continued his exciting recent form, leading the charge once again in applying pressure around the contest. He collected 27 touches, won nine clearances and applied 11 tackles.
Matt McDonough (23 disposals) and Ben Lennon (25 disposals) both had solid games on the wing and up forward, joining Thomas in putting their hands up for senior selection.
Richmond returns to the ME Centre next Sunday for its Round 14 clash with Port Melbourne.

Northern Blues 2.2 3.6 4.6 5.9 (39)

uh oh.
a highlights package of thomas.
are we getting buttered up for something unpleasant?
-
St. Kilda will be buttering us up for something unpleasant if he plays.
-
Its undeniable that Thomas gets the hard ball, the main issue with him is his disposal and looking at the highlights he mainly handballed which seems to be his best method. When kicking he seems to sling onto his boot and generally from what i have seen of him previously he turns the ball over more often than not. Having said this if he can get first hands on the ball in the middle and get it out to our runners by hand then thats a good thing, just need to minimise the damage his turnovers cause in between.

Richmond’s VFL coach Tim Clarke's summary ...
Matt Thomas
27 disposals, 11 tackles, nine clearances
Continues his rich vein of form. He continues to lead from the front. His decision making has been terrific. He’s really pushing hard for senior selection.
Ben Lennon
25 disposals, nine marks
Continues to play his role through the midfield. He’s really starting to get hold of the wing position, and is starting to play good, AFL standard football. He’s pushing hard for senior selection this week.
Matt McDonough
23 disposals, 11 tackles, one goal
Played a good mix of midfield and forward. Impacted the game in both positions. We were really impressed with his intensity around the contest, and the tackle pressure he put on. He’s playing some good footy, and is pushing hard for senior selection.
Chris Knights
17 disposals, four tackles, one goal
Really good involvement for three quarters. He’s a smart player as a half forward. He gets involved, and had three shots at goal. We expect him to continue his form over the next two or three weeks.
David Astbury
14 disposals, two goals
Was very good in the contest, and is playing really good, AFL standard footy. Whether he’s playing forward or back, he’s impacting the game well. He did a really good job on Liam Jones, then moved forward and kicked two critical goals late in the game.
Matt Arnot
11 disposals, four tackles
Is developing as a small back at the moment. Continues to get the job done defensively. We’re still looking at getting him more involved offensively, and that’s his challenge over the next few weeks.
Liam McBean
Two goals, eight disposals
Struggled early in the game to get split on his opposition players. Didn’t really impact as a key forward. He gave us some assistance in the ruck, then played deep forward. In the last quarter he started to impact, kicking two critical goals late.
Reece McKenzie
One goal, eight disposals, 15 hitouts
Continues to impact well in the critical contests. He wants to kick more goals, but his focus has been on providing us with a good target up the ground. He continues to do that. We’re really happy with his development.
Connor Menadue
Seven disposals, three tackles
Continues to play down back, and is still learning the role. We expect him to get more offensive involvement, and that’s the challenge for him. Defensively he’s been really good, and he’s playing his role well for the side.
Ivan Soldo
Six disposals, 10 hitouts
Played his second game of VFL footy. He rucked most of the second half, and showed he’s going to be a solid ruckman for us in the future. He’s still developing, and we’re really excited to see him play another game for us this weekend.

Loved the game of Soldo, so impressive for one so young an inexperienced. Mckenzie was fantastic and aggressive. Young Dunkley moves well but if does not improve his kicking he might have a short career :help
