got to love an away game being played at home.
-
Bump.
Ressies start at 12:30pm.
-
We have been reminded about the tip of the iceberg but really apart from Lennon and Menadue there isnt much to get excited about this lineup in the short term. Maybe Calum Moore can be something and Chol long term but we really need to add some decent quality depth in the coming draft.
Given the amount of deadwood coming off contract there is absolutely no reason for us to cock it this time around, hopefully in the process we also have a change in recruiters for this big opportunity to put the RFC ship back on course.
-
Depends what direction the ship is heading
Rather it be pointed towards Noosa than Antarctica 😉

Scores?

John Lennon ankle.

@RichmondVFL: Q2: Kade Stewart steams in and kicks his third as @BoxHillHawks make us pay once again. BOX 42 to RICH 15 #gotiges #PJVFL
Sounds like we've wasted the pill a bit

Box Hill 3.5 7.6-48
Goals: Lambert, Ballard, Couch

According to 3WBC commentators:
Richmond not jelling well.
Box Hill setting up better defensively. Richmond struggling more to get through zone. Tried handballing through it and turnovers gave Box Hill the first two goals of the game.
Bachar on limited game time. Only came on the second quarter and Richmond looked better.
Box Hill should be further in front. Wasted first quarter chances. Breeze blowing to Brunton Ave end which they'll have in the 3rd qtr.
Chol stood up well in defence in the first quarter when Box Hill was peppering the goals. A bit more quiet in the 2nd qtr.
-
Couch finds Ballard. Kicking from acute angle into the breeze. It doesn't make the distance but Ivan gets a free. Misses from 6m out :P.

We miss a few chances and Box Hill run it down and take their first of the qtr.

Vickery fumbles but is still able to get it to Bachar who goes to Butler. It eventually gets to Callum Moore who finds Townsend in range. But he lays back on the kick and it doesn't make the distance.
We get it back and Ivan gets another chance. He makes this one. Goal!

Throw-in F50. Ivan takes it and has a ping across his body. Goal!

Free to Soldo in the ruck 45m out. Too close to the man of the mark and it falls short.
We're going in F50 plenty of times but we're not scoring.

l'm surprised of the number of softie footballers we have who struggle the most basic skill of the game.
Kicking the ball long

Well you will never meet a better man in footy circles but he can't be part of the future on field. It was this crap under Terry and Danny unfortunately.

I seriously don't think anyone would want him. He is a good kick but everything else he does is below AFL standard.
But first and foremost HE IS NOT A DEFENDER!!

He wouldn't be going to GWS for predominately football reasons.... :shh

Defender Bachar Houli got through unscathed in his long-awaited return from an 11-week wrist injury, ending with 24 possessions in his side's 16-point win.
The Tigers' VFL general manager, Daniel Hull, told AFL.com.au on Sunday Houli played predominantly on the wing and featured in about 75 minutes game time.
Midfielder Andrew Moore led the way for the Tigers with 28 touches, nine clearances and two final-quarter goals.
Fellow midfielder Jacob Townsend also had 28 touches in a strong performance to go with his 11 inside 50s, eight clearances and eight tackles.
Rookie midfielder Adam Marcon continued his consistent run with 21 touches, while key forward Ty Vickery ended with 12 disposals and two last-quarter goals.
Half-forward Ben Lennon injured his ankle early in the match and will be assessed further in the coming days after being unable to return to the field.

VFL Tigers storm to victory over Hawks
richmondfc.com.au
25 July 2016
There were more spectacular feats than Mabior Chol’s chase-down tackle on the Jack Dyer Stand wing in the frenzied final term of Sunday's clash between Richmond VFL and Box Hill, but none held greater importance.
With Richmond clinging to a 10-point lead and Box Hill launching an attacking foray, Chol harassed, pestered, and ultimately stopped the Hawks in their tracks with his brilliant run-down tackle.
Moments earlier, Chol took a goal-saving mark deep in Richmond’s defensive-50, with his duo of selfless acts epitomising the Tigers’ barnstorming comeback.
Richmond found itself trailing by 19 points at the final change, but went on an eight-goal last quarter blitz to capture a memorable win, the final scores finishing 13.7 (85) to 10.9 (69).
A trio of key Tigers also shone brightly, as Ty Vickery, Andrew Moore and Bachar Houli stood-up when their numbers were called.
Vickery’s opening major of the final term lit the flame, and his second half-way through the quarter sent the faithful into raptures in what was a well crafted display by the big man.
A revitalised Andrew Moore was another who bagged a final-term double, with his first handing Richmond their first lead of the game, and his second sealing the win.
Moore’s maturity shone through when the game was in the balance, as he took it upon himself to rip the lead from the Hawks’ grasp with a major from the paint of the 50-metre arc.
It was a goal he had to kick, as Vickery was tearing towards goal, pleading for the ball, but he gleefully watched it sail through, and the Tigers swarmed to Moore.
Houli’s last quarter heroics reminded everyone just what a high-quality player and leader he is.
Houli was shifted on-ball in the final term in what proved a masterstroke.
He teamed perfectly with Ivan Maric, Moore and Tom Couch, with his piercing left boot, nous and guile allowing the Tigers to dominate in the centre square.
Houli conveyed serenity in the frantic final minutes, with his teammates following suit.
The Tigers slammed on eight goals to two in their best quarter of the year, which also showcased their immense improvement and growth.
The blitz of goals came via Vickery (two), Moore (two), Elton, Townsend, Marcon and Couch with singles.
Box Hill jumped Richmond early on, kicking two goals in the opening five minutes and finished the first term with three goals to zip.
The Tigers were matching it with their counterparts in the contest, but a number of turnovers cost them dearly, as Box Hill capitalised.
The Hawks are the best in the business at scoring from opposition turnovers, and the Tigers simply handed them the ball at times.
Box Hill struck first in the second term before Kane Lambert swooped at a forward-50 throw-in and nailed the Tigers first major for the day.
The Hawks would goal again, but inside-bull Jacob Ballard responded with customary poise, which clicked the Tigers into gear.
Box Hill naggingly kept taking their chances forward of centre as the Tigers squandered theirs, before Couch made his presence felt with a calming major.
Richmond trailed by 25 points at the main break, but should have been much closer.
The Tigers got the game on their terms in the third quarter, which laid the foundations for the final quarter onslaught.
Richmond ruckman Maric bagged a third-term double, which kept his side in touch with Box Hill.
The Tigers slotted 10 goals to three post half-time in what was their best performance of the year.
Coach Craig McRae welcomed Couch back with open arms, as the midfielder bundled his 29 disposals with two goals, with Andrew Moore (28, two goals), Jacob Townsend (28), and Houli (24) offering outstanding support.
Richmond hosts Frankston next Saturday, July 30 at Punt Road Oval from 11am.

Richmond VFL and development coach Craig McRae's summary:
AFL-listed
Andrew Moore
28 disposals, two goals, nine clearances, six tackles
Continued his great form. It’s probably been six or seven weeks now that he’s been in the top three or four best players in our team. He had 28 disposals, nine clearances, six tackles and a couple of goals - including two in the last quarter when the game was on line. It was a great performance.
Jacob Townsend
28 disposals, one goal, eight clearances, eight tackles
Played more time in the midfield than in recent weeks. Another who, when the game was on the line, really wanted to step up. He had eight clearances, 11 inside 50s and a goal.
Bachar Houli
24 disposals, five clearances, six tackles
Played his first game coming back from injury and surgery. He played minimal time in the first quarter, came on late and then played out the remainder of the game. His last quarter was one that really set the scene for the team. It was a great day out for him.
Adam Marcon
21 disposals, seven tackles, three clearances, one goal
Played wing, midfield, forward, it was a great opportunity for him to explore and add flexibility to his game. He still impacted the game really well - kicked a nice goal late in the game - and he’s in great form.
Nathan Broad
20 disposals, six marks, four tackles
Returned from AFL opportunity, playing across half-back, and was really workmanlike. He used the ball really well, setting up a lot of attacking run off half-back. A good performance from Nathan.
Kane Lambert
17 disposals, six clearances, one goal
Only played a half and then was used as a carry-over in case of AFL opportunity or emergency. His 17 disposals in a half is a good return, 10 contested (possessions), six clearances and a goal. It was a shame we couldn’t have him in the second half as well.
Todd Elton
14 disposals, nine marks, one goal, three tackles
Played the best game I’ve seen him play - this year in particular. His marking was a real feature and in the last quarter he kicked a really critical goal. He was running on top of the ground and competing really strongly in the air. A good performance from him.
Dan Butler
13 disposals, three tackles, two marks
Had a solid performance. Didn’t have the impact of the previous game against Footscray, but still had great intensity. He showed up at the crumbing position and had the opportunity to kick goals, but unfortunately kicked two behinds. Certainly his foundations and his standards have lifted.
Ty Vickery
12 disposals, two goals, five marks, two tackles
He was really important. His first half was pretty quiet I thought, but then he played some important roles as a ruck and then in the last quarter he went forward and kicked two goals at critical times. I thought it was a good game from Ty.
Ivan Maric
24 hit-outs, two goals, 11 disposals
Ivan played a great game. Similar to Ty, in the first half he didn’t have much impact, but in the third quarter he kicked two critical goals at an important time. He certainly set the game up for us in the last quarter and went into the midfield and was dominant in the ruck.
Jake Batchelor
Eight disposals, four tackles
Workmanlike - only the eight disposals - but defended really well. Not many highs, but not many lows. It was a really solid game from him.
Callum Moore
Six disposals, three marks, four tackles
Had a bit of a quieter day. Worked hard, got to some good positions, but didn’t capitalise in the air. There won’t be a lot to learn from this game, but his running and competing was there for all to see.
Mabior Chol
Five disposals, four tackles
Only the five disposals, but I thought it was one of his best games defensively. He just had really big moments, one was a tackle in the last quarter which set up a goal, and another was going back and taking a critical mark. I think it was a huge step forward for “Marbs”. It shows that he’s coming along well as a defender for us.
Ivan Soldo
32 hit-outs, four disposals, three clearances
Minimal touches, but in the ruck he was really important. He showed that he can dominate around the ground in the hit-outs and was really important for us to stabilise, and in the end win, clearance on the day.
Ben Lennon
Two disposals, two contested possessions
Unfortunately was injured in the first quarter, rolling his ankle.
VFL-listed
Tom Couch
29 disposals, two goals, four clearances, three tackles
Returned for his first game in about eight weeks and was outstanding. He had 29 disposals, and two goals - one really critical one in the last quarter. He just imposed himself on the game. It was a great performance.
Nick Mellington
20 disposals, four tackles, 11 handball receives
Returned to good form. Had a disappointing game against Footscray and really good players don’t have two bad games in-a-row, and he proved that. He had 20 disposals, with hard running and good contested work from him.
Tom Langford
19 disposals, four marks, 14 uncontested possessions
Played across half-back. Uses the ball well, smart in traffic and was really important with his leadership.
Jacob Ballard
18 disposals, five marks, one goal
Was squeezed out of the midfield compared to recent weeks, but he went forward where his marking was a real highlight. He took five marks, including two really strong contested ones, and kicked a nice goal for us too. He’s a very important player for us.
Sam Darley
18 disposals, four marks, two tackles
Continued his good form. He’s a great ball user across half-back and also showed great leadership, similar to Tom Langford. He’s in good form.
James Fletcher
14 disposals, five tackles, four marks
Our 23rd player, he plays his role well. He needs to try and fight and struggle to get through tackles, that’s an area of improvement for him, but that will come as he gets bigger and stronger. Playing across the wing, his ball use and long running is important.
Ryan Gale
11 disposals, four marks
A key defender who continues to support young “Marbs” around him and others. A big pillar and post player down back for us.
Dan Coffield
Eight disposals, three marks, three tackles
Great role player; love having him in the team, he's hard to play against. In the last quarter his positioning was terrific. He rebounded really well for us.

Get him straight in. Give Riewoldt a rest.

Interesting about Elton up forward
He has been playing forward most of this year when he is available. Can take a great mark and would love him to play the remainder of the year in the firsts. If they drop McBean I would play Elton to see what he has and he has played relief ruck in the past. Like Griff he has confidence issues.
-
Always thought he showed promise as a KPF so it'd be good to see him get a go
Ty Vickery
12 disposals, two goals, five marks, two tackles
He was really important. His first half was pretty quiet I thought, but then he played some important roles as a ruck and then in the last quarter he went forward and kicked two goals at critical times. I thought it was a good game from Ty.
The perfect cameo :clapping

Elton arrived at Punt Rd as a junior forward when he was drafted IIRC.
-
Yeah played forward at Somerville
-
Was touted as a CHF and played there originally... IIRC, also played at CHF in his first AFL match v Adelaide in 2012....
-
correct
when he first arrived I loved the way hed throw himself at the ball in the marking contest - no fear and attacked the ball at its highest point. His kicking was pretty bad. Since then its been all downhill

Again they continue to do this. Why ? Has the playing guys in the other half of the ground to learn ever worked for us?
-

And the Rut Truck toweled him up (as you expect a veteran to do to a first gamer) and Dimma dropped him the next week ::)
-
Thanks all. I knew Toddy was a forward in his early years but I didn't know he'd been thrown back there this year.
Weird player. Hasn't done anything. Doesn't really look like he will in the future. But you still feel like we need to hold onto him for now at least. Guess that's the state of our tall stocks.
-
Hardwick has destroyed Todd. 2 games. First against Rutten. Dropped. Second against an in form Cloke. Dropped.
How destroy a young man totally...... :banghead

Both in complete opposite positions. Unreal. Todd hasn't done himself any favours either though...
