More than a VFL grand final berth at stake for Richmond players
Ronny Lerner
The Age
September 15 2017
There will be more on the line for Richmond's VFL footballers than trying to qualify for the 2017 grand final when they run out onto North Port Oval on Saturday.
The Tigers do battle with the Box Hill Hawks in the second preliminary final at the famous Port Melbourne ground and while helping Richmond reach their first grand final in 112 years in what is now known as the VFL is the aim, keeping heat on their senior teammates at the selection table is certainly a motivation as well.
Nineteen AFL-listed Richmond players will be playing for the VFL team this weekend in what is not only a strong indication of the club's depth but also a big tick for the club's high-performance team with only Nathan Drummond (knee) on the Tigers' injury list.
The senior Richmond side plays Greater Western Sydney or West Coast in next week's AFL second preliminary final at the MCG and while changes to the side that smashed Geelong by 51 points don't look likely, the VFL players will be desperate to give the selection committee a few things to ponder.
Sam Lloyd, Shaun Hampson and Oleg Markov were the emergencies for Richmond's qualifying final against Geelong last week and are all playing in Saturday's VFL preliminary final.
That trio would appear to be at the front of the queue if Richmond decided to make any changes next week, although in Hampson's case, an injury to first-choice ruckman Toby Nankervis seems his only hope of returning to the senior side.
Markov, who has played seven games this season, was the unlucky sole omission for the Tigers who welcomed back Josh Caddy for the big clash with the Cats.
Others who will be pushing a case for a recall are Jayden Short, Anthony Miles and possibly Connor Menadue.
Short (16) has played the most AFL games this year of any of the Richmond players who will line up against Box Hill.
The 21-year-old played every game from round two to 18 but was dropped after a modest performance against the Giants at the MCG.
The winner of the Richmond-Box Hill preliminary final will face Williamstown or Port Melbourne in the VFL grand final at Etihad Stadium next Sunday.

Just like last week, it's important for the whole club for the VFL side to win tomorrow. Keeps the momentum going and more importantly means the whole squad is motivated, match fit and in full training deep into September.

Agree'd; I feel like a big performance here really sets us up. We only lost by a few last time we played? I can't remember.

2nd PRELIMINARY FINAL
BOX HILL HAWKS vs RICHMOND
Saturday September 16, 2.40pm @ Fortburn Stadium
The Tiger Train will look to keep rolling in Richmond’s first VFL finals campaign since becoming an AFL standalone club in 2014 against a traditional powerhouse that appeared in three straight grand finals before missing September action in 2016.
The Hawks got the better of the Tigers at Box Hill City Oval in Round 5 in a shootout between the VFL’s top-scoring teams of the home-and-away season (Richmond first and Box Hill second), slotting 18 goals in a 22-point victory. Both teams like to use the ball by foot and back in May the Hawks kicked their way through the opposition defence and converted when inside 50 to prevail despite having three fewer scoring shots.
The key was their intense pressure forcing Richmond into error, and this time the likes of Andrew Moore, Mitch O’Donnell and Kade Stewart will need to match the hardness of Tigers play-makers Anthony Miles and Jacob Ballard, who have imposed themselves on finals this year. If they don’t, opportunistic Richmond forwards Sam Lloyd, Tyson Stengle and Shai Bolton will give headaches to Box Hill defenders like David Mirra and Max Warren, while up the other end the Hawks will need to find their own avenues to goal with Chris Jones (injury) and Tyrone Vickery (suspension) absent.

Very hard to find any poor Tigers.
Ch 7 commentators have Batch as BOG in defence playing the "Luke Hodge" "General down back" role.
Garthwaite very good also spoiling everything that has come his way.
Miles (9 possies) and Lloyd (8 possies) killing it inside. It's allowed our outside runners to cut loose - C.Ellis, Markov (8 possies), Bolton, Menadue.
Chol and Griffs have presented well up forward. As I said if Chol could kick straight he would have 3 goals by now. Has one from a set shot.
Morris playing his usual hunter role forward of centre. His forced turnover set up Markov's goal.
-
Now we've got to be smart using the footy against the breeze in the 2nd qtr, keep our pressure up and set up a decent half-time lead.

I think he's there as a bullocking midfielder. Takes some of the inside workload off our AFL-listed players.
I could see an AFL club desperate for a tall defender drafting Beasley. I know he use to be on Brisbane's list but he's a very good year for our VFL team this year.

Yep. Thanks MT. :clapping
Those who impressed me were Markov, Miles, Menadue, Stengle, Bolton and Moore. Batch was solid and the general down back. Lloyd was good and CEllis was great until he fell awkwardly but then went off sore but not seriously injured (went back on later).
Miles is just a terrier. Continually gets the ball.
Stengle and Bolton will hopefully entertain us for years as they have some serious tricks. Markov provides so much dash off the HB line. Menadue must have put a little turbo charger in his engine as his speed has suddenly gone up a notch too.
Garthwaite looks to be a bit of a Grimes clone and is developing well.
Chol showed enough to say we should persist.
Bloody hell even Hampson took 4 contested marks. I had to pinch myself as I thought I may have been dreaming. Rucked well too. :gobdrop

Great summary, YaBB :thumbsup. Agree with all of it.
Chol's positioning was much much better today. He got to the right areas in the contests and his hands were good. He could have kicked at least 3-4 goals if his kicking didn't let him down.
The tough decision next week will be who to play between the Ivan cousins in the ruck. Soldo may miss again in favour of Maric in his last game of footy.

Callum Moore will be a star

VFL Tigers advance to Grand Final
richmondfc.com.au
16 September 2017
The VFL Tigers won a coveted position in the 2017 VFL Grand Final in emphatic fashion on Saturday, running over Box Hill by 65 points at North Port Oval.
Craig McRae’s side flew out of the gates in the first quarter, kicking six unanswered goals to set up the lead and never looked back as they cruised into next week’s decider at Etihad Stadium.
Callum Moore was a standout performer in the forward line, booting three goals and gathering 16 disposals, while the ever-reliable Anthony Miles, (34 disposals, nine clearances and one goal), Sam Lloyd (30 disposals, five tackles, one goal) and Jake Batchelor (15 disposals, nine marks) were also key performers.
An elated McRae spoke highly of the close connection and bond shared by his side, and highlighted the first quarter as a catalyst for the big victory.
“I thought the connection of the players was fantastic,” McRae said.
“It was so important to get the start we did. Box Hill are a fantastic side, but it was always going to be hard to come back from that."
McRae also spoke highly of Moore, whose impact has been seismic since returning from an ankle injury.
“He’s just about been our most consistent finals performer,” he said.
“He’s kicked three goals in two seperate finals, which is a fantastic sign.
“It’s great to see him out there having an impact."
It was Moore himself who got the ball rolling in the first quarter, cleverly staying on the ground in a big contest and taking a simple chest mark, which he converted for the first major of the day.
The Tiger players rallied to Moore’s side and it wasn’t long before they followed his lead, with Connor Menadue kicking truly from close range before Sam Lloyd converted a free kick from a similar distance.
Oleg Markov, Mabior Chol and Taylor Hunt put more misery on the Hawks with majors to end the quarter, while Batchelor, Hugh Beasley and Sam Darley were proving to be an almost unbeatable defence, conceding only one behind in the first term.
While Box Hill managed to start adding some scoreboard pressure in the second term, the VFL Tigers refused to allow them back into the contest, with further goals to Darley and Moore keeping the Hawks at bay.
Ivan Maric, who was a late inclusion for fellow tall and cousin Ivan Soldo, then made his mark with a towering grab at the top of the goal square, with his goal sinking hopes of a Hawks revival in the shadows of half-time.
Menadue was having a half to remember, using his pace and disposal to deadly effect, while Jayden Short’s four rebound-50s were a sign of his effectiveness in the back half.
With clear advantages in contested and uncontested ball around the ground, McRae’s side set about putting the game to bed in the third term, and showed no mercy to the side that beat them in their Round 5 clash earlier in the year.
Shaun Hampson, who had been tirelessly working against the Hawks’ Marc Pittonet in the ruck, reaped the rewards of his efforts with a soccered goal to start the term.
Tyson Stengle and Lennon then fired a quick double, before last week’s two-goal hero Shaun Mannagh added a major, continuing his stellar form in the back half of the season.
A late goal to Corey Ellis was the final nail in the coffin with a quarter still to play, however, the VFL Tigers put their foot firmly on Box Hill’s throat, keeping the margin above 10 goals for the remainder of the match.
Jacob Ballard became the 15th individual goalkicker with his goal at the start of the term, before Moore aded the cherry on top with a classy finish.
The VFL Tigers' opponents for next week will be decided when Port Melbourne and Williamstown clash in Sunday's second preliminary final.

Tiger smalls turn up the heat for prelim spots
afl.com.au
16 September 2017
RICHMOND small forwards Tyson Stengle and Shai Bolton have turned up the heat on out-of-sorts teammate Jason Castagna with impressive performances for their Grand Final-bound VFL side.
Castagna looks to be the sole Richmond player in danger of losing his position for the Tigers' AFL preliminary final next week against Greater Western Sydney or West Coast at the MCG.
The round 19 NAB AFL Rising Star nominee has a total of 21 possessions and one goal across his past four games, although he has had 15 tackles in that time.
Richmond advanced to the VFL decider with a crushing 18.11 (119) to 8.6 (54) thrashing of Box Hill at Port Melbourne's Fortburn Stadium.

The Tigers will play the winner of Sunday’s other preliminary final between Williamstown and Port Melbourne as they bid to win just their third VFL/VFA premiership and first since 1905. They made their last VFL Grand Final a decade ago while still aligned with Coburg.
Stengle, in particular, pressed his case with a terrific display from the start, including a great rundown tackle in the opening minutes and four score involvements in the third quarter alone. One of those was a goal of his own after a clever Bolton handball.
The 171cm South Australian, who made his debut in round 15, added a highlight-reel handball over his head to fellow rookie-listed Tiger Mabior Chol to create another goal for Jacob Ballard in the last term.
Stengle was of many Richmond players to shine, along with defensive dasher Oleg Markov (26 disposals) and perennial ball-winners Anthony Miles (34), Sam Lloyd (30), Corey Ellis (23) and Connor Menadue (21).
Forgotten ruckman Shaun Hampson outperformed fellow tall Ben Griffiths to give him the edge if the Tigers elect for extra height to support Toby Nankervis and bring in another marking option in attack.
Hampson had a close ruck battle with 21-year-old Hawk Marc Pittonet, but it was his strong contested marking at both ends – four for the match – that would have endeared him to selectors.
Markov, who added a goal, was close to best afield as he bids to earn his AFL spot back after Josh Caddy replaced him last week.
"We came in with the mindset to make someone else in your team better and I hope we did perform that, so it's good," Markov told Channel 7 after the game.
"(Our forward pressure) was amazing and it made our job easier down back … tackles win games."
Rookie-listed Callum Moore kicked three goals and Ben Lennon two as 15 Richmond players slotted maximum points.
The Tigers, who had 19 AFL-listed players compared to Box Hill's 11, set the win up with a six-goal-to-none opening term, with Miles (nine possessions) and Lloyd and Markov (eight each) pivotal in the hot start.
Pittonet and promising teenager Oliver Hanrahan, who was especially good in the opening half, were Hawthorn's best contributors.

We have so much talent at VFL level it is amazing just how far we have come as a club. Ellis has impressed me during the last 4-6 weeks...playing hard footy :clapping love Short, Menadue, Stengel, Moore and Bolton who could be a star of the competition. The whole group is playing unbelievabley well :cheers :gotigers

Is Griffiths career cooked?

Not sure...played well today.

Interested in people's views on Ballard?
Is he the one Dio rates? Or is it Darley? Or some other player
Dio is a fan of Callum Moore.
Rated Ballard highly - was easily the best of our VFL mids last year...mind you, not hard to outshine the likes of Andrew Moore or even Townsend who was quite horrid last year....been ok this year but seems to have lost a yard, not that he was ever quick, and was shocking today...
Further thoughts on the game later, if I can arsed....so keep those breaths bated......or not.... :gotigers

He's looked pretty handy the last month. Could do worse than playing him vs gws for a Grigg. The small forward stuff has been ok so far but it's serious time now. nanna could use the assistance in the ruck too. In the key moments of prelims an gfs it's often good to have a big that can catch..
Menadue and markov were exciting to watch. Hopefully at least one goes ballistic next year :pray. Or Corey ellis
Bolton and Eddie are brilliant too
Morris is crazy :)
Where is the gf? Fecking docklands?

Most have given up calling for Grigg to be dropped as it's not going to happen.
However there is no need to add to the lunacy by playing another spud

I cannot believe anyone wth a clue would want Morris in the seniors.....you have to be one bent unit to rate that dud as an AFL player.....but then who are we to judge??.... :shh

Did we beat Port during the year? Can't remember but seems to ring a bell.

Port won by 5 goals back in round 3....

Our match thread: http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum/index.php?topic=26149.0
We were actually extremely poor after quarter time. Port Melbourne cut us to ribbons on the outside. They won the uncontested footy by a whopping 81.
I'd doubt that will happen this time around given the high-pressure way we're playing now. We'll also have a few more AFL-listed players playing in the Granny.

More exemplary knowledge of the game and it's history on display from a modern "footy journalist".... :clapping
