I watched 20 odd minutes of the 3rd quarter
I've gone about of VFL listed players not being up to VFL standard
Have to say on the 20 minutes I watched, outside of Dea, Knights & Castagna our AFL listed players didn't look up to VFL standard
Too many looked totally disinterested
Horrible performance, terrible effort
-
McDonough was the only player who played an AFL standard match, head and shoulders above everyone.....Dea was shyte....Castagna's one of those rare players you'd call "a creative hack".....with the match apparently being streamed, McBean sadly continued with his unfortunate habit of saving his worst performances for video broadcasts....

VFL Tigers outplayed by Coburg
By Catherine Durkin

Richmond’s VFL squad has failed to secure a win in their final home game of the season, falling to Coburg by 43 points at the ME Centre on Sunday.
In a congested contest throughout, Richmond struggled to gain forward ascendancy, which made goals difficult to come by.
Coburg controlled the play early, due to its dominance in the middle, but their inaccuracy up forward proved costly, with the margin just five points at quarter time.
The second quarter was a much more even contest, with Richmond making several forays forward, however it also struggled with inefficiency.
The game rose to spectacular heights when David Astbury flew above a pack to take a fantastic mark midway through the second quarter, with the resulting goal bringing the Tigers to within four points.
But Coburg lifted, and at half-time the margin was 23 points.
There were promising signs early in the second half, with the Tigers managing to produce much more fluid forward transition, but the visitors finished the stronger.
The game marked the successful return to the VFL team of Chris Knights and Shaun Hampson.
Knights gathered 28 disposals and provided great pressure around the ball with a team-high seven tackles.
Hampson won a game-high 48 hitouts, but despite his dominance, Richmond struggled to clear the ball at the stoppages.
Jason Castagna was another highlight for the Tigers, providing great run off half-back, and some much needed finesse at times. He finished with 33 touches and seven clearances.
Matt Dea also put in another AFL-standard performance, collecting 27 touches and intercepting many of Coburg’s forward movement.
And in a game where goals were hard to come by, Matt McDonough’s forward efforts were commendable. He finished with three goals for the day.
The Tigers will face Collingwood next Saturday, at Victoria Park.
FINAL SCORES
Richmond 1.0 2.1 3.3 5.4.34
Coburg 1.5 5.5 6.9 11.11.77
GOALS: McDonough 3, Astbury 1, Butler 1
BEST: Castagna, Knights, Dea, Hampson, Astbury, Gordon, McDonough

Yes he dominated the ruck contests but he does nothing else around the ground

Recruit any 7ft tall US basketballer and as far as winning hitouts it would be the same result, after that however they won't offer anything, Hampson as a tap ruckman only is just clogging out list, in today's game a tap ruckman alone just doesn't cut the mustard.

Timmy Clarke going from strength to strength down there

have we beaten coburg since we split from the club was supposedly holding us back?

They've improved ever since they got rid of a few dodgy assistants/ hangers on....

:lol

Yeah took one in the 3rd as well
But he should be dominating at that level, he doesn't

how reliable are those stats? Dea 14 marks astbury 12. big numbers!

Did the beaner play in a wheel chair?

Dea did take some intercept marks but most were when he provided am option for a switch into the corridor.

Richmond’s VFL coach Tim Clarke's summary:
Jason Castagna (33 disposals, 15 contested possessions, seven clearances)
Again was very impressive, playing off half-back and through the midfield. Won plenty of contested ball and also provided good run-and-carry. Continues to show really exciting signs for the future.
Chris Knights (28 disposals, seven marks, five inside-50s)
Struggled a bit with his body, but still managed to rack up the disposals. Also was strong in and around the contest with his tackling pressure. Needs his body to be moving well, however, if he is to push hard for senior selection.
Matt Dea (27 disposals, 13 marks)
Continues to display excellent form across the backline at VFL level. Took 13 marks, repelled many opposition attacks, and used the ball well offensively. When an opportunity arises at AFL level, he’s certainly ready to take it.
Nathan Gordon (21 disposals, six marks)
Had three quarters of game time in a combination of wing and half-forward roles before being taken off, due to the fact he was the AFL carry-over player. Is continuing to show impressive development when used in the midfield. Will look to build on the gains he’s made in this area over the next couple of weeks.
Matt McDonough (19 disposals, 13 contested possessions, six clearances, three goals)
Impacted the game in and around the contest. Hit the scoreboard, too, with three goals, which was pleasing. Overall, however, we still expect more from him.
Todd Elton (15 disposals, eight marks)
Was very good in our offensive transition, playing the percentages, which has been a focus of his. But needs to be a bit better defending his opponent on the lead. Gave up a couple of leads, which resulted in goals for Coburg. This is something he needs to work on over the remainder of the season.
Shaun Hampson (14 disposals, 11 contested possessions, five marks, five inside-50s, 48 hit-outs)
Dominated in his return to the VFL. Won his fair share of ball, had a huge amount of hit-outs, and constantly gave our ‘mids’ first use. The best part of his game was his critical contest work. He either won or halved 20 critical contests.
David Astbury (13 disposals, 11 marks, one goal)
Provided the team with a good target up forward. Was strong in the air, taking several impressive contested marks. Continues to play well at both ends of the ground.
Dan Butler (Seven disposals, six contested possessions, one goal)
Alternated between the midfield and forward line. Was a little slow to get going, but found his way towards the end of the game, winning some critical contests, which showed what he’s capable of. Is still finding his feet at VFL level, but we expect he’ll keep improving over the next couple of weeks.
Reece McKenzie (Five disposals, two marks)
Continues to provide us with a viable option down the line. We’re still working with him on his ability to get used closer to goal, so he can hit the scoreboard more regularly. Overall, however, he is showing impressive development.
Ivan Soldo (Five disposals, 14 hit-outs)
Battled well in the ruck against good opposition, sharing the load with Shaun Hampson. Second efforts continue to be a strength of his game. The challenge for him going forward is to win more of the ball on the outside.
Liam McBean (Four disposals)
Well beaten by a very good key-defensive opponent in Michael Hartley. Didn’t hit the scoreboard, which is most unlike him. We expect significantly better from him going forward.
Connor Menadue (Four disposals)
Struggled to find the ball at half-back. Was moved to a wing in a bid to get him more involved in the match, but still couldn’t exert an influence. We expect better from him, and it will be a focus at training during the week to work out how we can improve his involvement in the contest.

No, Matty Dea trod on his hand during the week & has a heap of pins in it

are they harsh on donuts because they see him as very talented and have high expectations, or do they just wish he'd stuff off?

Was going to point that out. Those seem like good stats for a team that got beaten badly. Kicked more than half our goals for gods sake

Didn't one arise when Grimes was injured?
Single figure possessions Morris got the gig instead??

Did the beaner play in a wheel chair?
He had his first quiet game in weeks after several bags of 5's and 4's. This is hardly surprising considering that Coburg rolled out a massive flood in our forward line making cohesive forward set-ups virtually impossible. By half-time we had only managed 2 goals, and I was so bored I left. I don't know how others feel, but for me it's this aspect of the modern game at all levels that is making me fall out of love with footy at a great rate of knots. The AFL has to fix this.
