VFL Tigers tick another box
Brenton Mann
AFL Media
May 5, 2019 6:01PM
The VFL Tigers have broken a 112-year hoodoo after recording a 51-point, “Richmond-like” win over Williamstown on Sunday afternoon.
Richmond was relentless, disciplined and stingy, holding Williamstown goalless in the first and third quarters, eventually prevailing, 12.13 (85) to 4.10 (34).
This was a scalp Richmond had been searching for, after breaking new ground this year with fighting wins over Casey at Casey and Geelong at GMHBA Stadium.
Richmond set-up the win with a three-goal opening quarter and sealed it with a scintillating five-goal blitz in the third term.
A win at Williamstown is unchartered waters for the Tigers, and the visitors knew the little things were going to matter if they were going to achieve the result.
The stiff Hobsons’ Bay south-westerly welcomed the Tigers and didn’t lend itself to pretty football, however the players embraced the conditions, with broad smiles on their faces.
The smiles were made broader when Jake Aarts roved the ball to perfection off a forward-50 stoppage, scooting in for the opening goal.
The news got better for the Tigers after Dan Butler scrambled on the goalline for his first goal of the game, handing the visitors a 13-point buffer with the breeze.
Emerging dasher, Patrick Naish ensured that Richmond went into quarter-time justly rewarded for its dominance.
Naish happily accepted a 50-metre penalty which drew him within scoring range and pierced through his set-shot from the arc.
If not for errant kicking - 3.7 for the quarter - the Tigers’ lead would have been far greater than 24 points at the first change.
Flint-hard on-ballers Jacob Townsend, Riley Collier-Dawkins and Jacob Ballard flexed their muscle around the stoppages, allowing Richmond to take the ascendency through the midfield.
Collectively, Richmond defended Downer Oval superbly throughout the first quarter, holding Williamstown goalless.
The man who led the rearguard action was imperious defender, Ryan Garthwaite.
Garthwaite continually spoiled, swatted and thwarted Williamstown’s thrusts forward and he was handsomely supported by fellow key backs, Hugh Beasley and Ben Miller.
While the key backs controlled the air, Derek Eggmolesse-Smith swooped on anything that hit the deck and repelled with his penetrating left boot.
Eggmolesse-Smith won’t be rushed into a rash decision or hack kick, and plays with calmness and clarity.
The dashing half-back played his best game for the club the day after turning 21, showing AFL-standard poise and precision.
He and Naish added the flash and dash on the outside, which was invaluable in the tricky conditions.
Williamstown kicked with the breeze in the second term and capitalised immediately.
Ex-Tiger, and Seagulls’ skipper, Adam Marcon walked into an open goal after a defensive mix-up by Richmond in the goalsquare.
The locals found a bit of voice, but the Tigers were unflustered and held firm.
Mabior Chol kicked Richmond’s only goal of the second term after converting his set-shot from 20 meters out, directly in front.
Chol read the flight of the ball superbly, snuck behind his opponent, marked on his chest uncontested, then slotted the set-shot against the breeze.
The Tigers withstood all the Seagulls could muster in the second term, then ignited the blowtorch in the third quarter.
Richmond banged and crashed its way through congestion, surging the ball forward at will and took its chances when they presented.
Aarts was again the igniter, grasping a loose ground ball and snapping his second.
Ballard put in his best performance for the year, utilising his hulking frame to snap truly on his left.
Naish then sent a cruise missile onto the chest of Chol, who coolly slotted his second, extending the Tigers’ lead to 41 points.
Butler then scooted in for his second goal of the day after some brilliant bullocking work from Ivan Soldo in defensive 50.
Blake Grewar capped off a match-winning quarter for the Tigers, after he used his nous and aggression to snap truly on his left.
The margin was 55 points at the final change, which turned out to be insurmountable.
Williamstown drew first blood in the last term, but Aarts hit right back for the Tigers.
He was dynamic and industrious all day, finishing with an equal game-high three goals.
By the time Butler scorched into an open goal, to kick his third, a Richmond victory was cemented after 23 Richmond men played their hearts out from siren-to-siren.

He’s clearly not ready lads, seriously you’ve got to be yolking

Is it time to play Ivan Soldo and perhaps play Nankervis forward with Reiwoldt out??

Kept patting his backside all day umpire 27😂😂
Reckon the stats aren’t right either
Towner had 3 possessions( handballs) in front of us in the stoppages in the space of a minute and VFL stats say he didn’t get a possession in 3rd Q .WTF
-
Stats for VFL games can always be downplayed a touch.
Seen Greg Tivendale get 40+ plenty of times in 2008 and it'd be reported as 35 or so. They miss plenty
-
Happy to read Miller played well as after his performance last week I had major questions. Still it's only one good game but it's a start :clapping
-
We're up to second on the VFL ladder and along with Essendon the only teams with a 100% winning record.

VFL and development coach, Craig McRae provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Sunday’s Round 5 win over Williamstown at Downer Oval.
Patrick Naish
23 disposals, five clearances, eight inside-50s & one goal
“Played predominantly through the wing and continued his great form. He ended up with 23 disposals, but the pleasing part of it is his 10 contested possessions and he’s just playing great footy. He’s setting us up with inside-50s and clearances.”
Derek Eggmolesse-Smith
21 disposals, seven rebound-50s, four inside-50s & three tackles
“Arguably the best game he’s played for the club. His contest work was really strong, he was winning his one-on-ones and neutralising and tackling well and then using the ball particularly well off half-back. He looked really dangerous.”
Fraser Turner
18 disposals, five clearances, three inside-50s & two rebound-50s
“Continues to play to his strengths and playing his role really well on the wing. His five clearances was something he hasn’t done in recent weeks and it was pleasing to see him get his hands on (the ball) in and around the contest. He’s playing some good footy.”
Riley Collier-Dawkins
18 disposals, seven clearances & three tackles
“Improves every week. His defence is really standing out. Big-bodied, seven clearances led the team, and played a really important role in our defensive structure.”
Maverick Weller
15 disposals, four marks & three inside-50s
“Managed to get himself up for this game after being injured last week. It was a good performance. He only played three quarters, but his three quarters were full of effort and merit. He’s certainly an important player to us.”
Ben Miller
14 disposals, four marks, four spoils & three inside-50s
“Played his best game for the season. His eight contested possessions was a feature, and his aerial work really stood-out. Rebounding for us, he’s big and strong and we love seeing him play that way. It was a terrific performance from him. It was good to have him back in form.”
Dan Butler
14 disposals, three goals, two clearances & four inside-50s
“Played mainly forward. We put him into the midfield late in the third quarter and into the last, and he really gave us a spark around the clearances. He got some speed into the game, and showed his customary pressure, with nine of his 14 possessions were contested. He ended the game with three goals, which was also good as well.”
Ivan Soldo
13 disposals, 33 hit-outs, five clearances, three tackles & three inside-50s
“Helped double-team big Nick Meese from the opposition. He really looked to dominate him in certain parts of the game. He got the ball going our way and played really disciplined footy. I really like the footy he’s playing for us at the moment.”
Callum Coleman-Jones
13 disposals, five marks, nine hit-outs & two clearances
“Shared the ruck and forward duties with (Ivan) Soldo. He was another who influenced, particularly in the third quarter, both of those guys (Coleman-Jones and Soldo) had the most possessions on the ground.”
Jacob Townsend
13 disposals, five tackles & four clearances
“A tough inside mid who is really competing hard for us. He’s leading from the front and is really invested in the group and we love having him in our team.”
Ryan Garthwaite
11 disposals, eight spoils, four marks & six rebound-50s
“Defended extremely well, was hard to play on and had six rebound-50s. Is playing AFL footy at VFL level, and his eight spoils led the team.”
Jake Aarts
11 disposals, three goals, three marks & two tackles
“Another who’s playing AFL footy at VFL level. He finished again with three goals, he’s kicked a lot of goals at this level and I’m sure he’ll be knocking down the door for an AFL opportunity.”
Callum Moore
Six disposals, four marks & three inside-50s
“Played a really solid game for us. He got up the ground and started to really impact the game for us before hurting his ankle in the last quarter. Fingers crossed he’ll be okay.”
Mabior Chol
Five disposals, two goals & three marks
“Low possession numbers but high work-rate and high effort. Kicked two goals and looked really dangerous aerially bringing the ball to the front in tricky conditions. It was fitting in his 50th Richmond VFL game that he was a valuable contributor for us.”
