Lots of rebound footy. Hotly contested. Commentators saying our extra class and accurate kicking for goal is currently the difference.

McRae praising Frankston efforts in the huddle. Says we need to life our efforts further to match theirs. Happy with the mids winning the ball. Defence needs to improve and not panic.


Markov didn't play the first quarter but he's on now at HB. So he is being managed.

Umps like the AFL. Not paying us frees.

Naish 11 disposals in the firs quarter.

RCD inside 50. CCJ spoiled. Throw-in. Morris marks the Dolphins clearing kick. Goes long and CCJ takes an absolute hanger over 8 players! Marked it at its highest point too. They are calling it mark of the year by far. Very much Roach-like.

Kicks the goal too  :gotigers.

Point to them.

Aarts into the corridor to Soldo to Morris back of the centre. Goes wide to Markov. Goes long inside 50 towards CCJ. Thompson off hands runs in for the easy goal . 4 Tiger small forwards down to just 1 Dolphin defender when the ball hit the ground.

Rich    7.0-42

Fletcher out wide to Miller to Turner to Naish but it's turned over.

Free to Eggy in defence. To RCD to Thompson to Naish to RCD. Goes wide and OOTF.

Ballard chase down on the wing. HTB. Goes long. Grewar to Aarts to Townsend who is tackled. Ball-up 55. Free for HTB. Weller receives on the run but misses everything.

Frankston defender kicks it OOTF. CCJ couldn't mark but Aarts snap misses.

Markov won the ball well but kicked it like a sack. CCJ couldn't pull up in time and it's another point.

Coffield to Weller who takes a good mark. Sets it up and Chol from the side marks in front. But his kick is cut off. However, Frankston defender goes across the ground with a poor kick and it's picked off by Naish who chips it to Townsend. Goal!  :gotigers

Eggy up and under with his left. Ballard to Townsend who goes short to RCD. Goes to HF but it's marked by Frankston.

Another skill error by Frankston. Naish to Silvestro to Thompson on 50. Poor kick into the pocket misses Chol. Throw-in. CCJ possibly pushed in the back but it's a ball-up. CCJ grabs it out of the ruck which is legal now but the ump pings him for HTB.

Fletcher off HB. Should have bee a free for a hold to us but not paid. Frankston get a point.

81 - 29

These umps are having a shocker by the sound of it.

We get it back. Grewar goes long and Soldo marks. But he is penalised for pushing too early.

VFL Tigers notch another road win

Brenton Mann
AFL media
May 12, 2019


Richmond VFL ended its early season roadshow with a bruising 74-point win over Frankston at Skybus Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Tigers were pushed all the way by a Dolphins side not wanting of effort, eventually prevailing 19.10 (124) to 7.8 (50).

“Be hungry to defend.”

That was the message drummed into the Richmond VFL side by coach Craig McRae before it embarked on its encounter with Frankston.

The Tigers’ defensive supremacy reached fever-pitch in its win over Williamstown, and McRae wanted to ensure that his side carried that unwavering mindset into this week.

The Dolphins at Skybus Stadium are always a tricky opposition, as they display hunger and intent plus the locals aren’t short of advice and stuff for any travelling side

This was on display from the opening bounce.

Frankston took it right up to a Tigers side that was sluggish out of the blocks, with the hosts booting the opening major of the game, much to the locals’ raucous approval.

The Dolphins looked sharper around the contest and surged the ball forward with pace and verve.

Richmond needed a kick-start, and Jacob Townsend provided it.

As the Tigers willed the ball inside their forward 50, Townsend bullied his way through congestion, won the ball, fed it out to Patrick Naish, who smoothly slotted the goal.

Naish would go on to slot two more goals in the second quarter and one in the fourth, taking his tally to four for the game, ensuring his magnet stays in the frame for AFL selection.

The dashing wingman is a picture of consistency, accumulating the ball at will (29 disposals) and using it with punch and panache.

The Dolphins hit back, before Richmond slammed on four goals in a hurry to stretch its lead to 16 points, which was eventually cut to 10 points late in the opening term.

Richmond had a battle on its hands and needed to kick it up a notch to quell any likelihood of Frankston recording its first win on the year.

The Tigers brought the heat in the second term, as Callum Coleman-Jones wowed the crowd with a towering pack mark, which even drew applause from Tigers and Dolphins alike.

Coleman-Jones soared high above the swelling pack, clutching the Sherrin in his vice-like grip, then, with heightened adrenaline, he went back and slotted the set-shot.

The budding ruckman then had a hand in the next for the Tigers as he crashed the pack deep inside 50, which led to Charlie Thompson charging into an open goal for his first.

Coleman-Jones would assist once more, as he teamed with Mav Weller at a forward 50 stoppage, with Weller timing his run to perfection, accepting the ball at speed and scooting into the open goal.

Naish then showed why the ground swell of support from the Tiger faithful for his AFL debut is growing.

With one major already to his name, Naish showcased his goal nous and cat-like reflexes as he gathered the ball in congestion and put through a right-foot checkside quicker than a hiccup.

His second for the quarter came after Jacob Ballard trapped a searing ball at his boot laces and then fed the handball to the wingman, with the no.45 then dribbled through the goal.

The margin at half-time was 40 points, after Richmond held their hosts goalless, and kicked six of its own in the second quarter.

Frankston had already been on the receiving end of some heavy losses this season and set about rectifying that in the third term.

The Dolphins scrapped, scrounged and fought, matching the Tigers in the contest and started attacking ferociously through the corridor.

Naish had a direct hand in Richmond’s first goal of the third term after spearing a ball on to the chest of Jacob Townsend, who then eased through his set-shot.

Mabior Chol kicked the Tigers’ other major for the term after getting behind the Dolphins’ defenders and streaming on to the loose ball which he then proceeded to roost out of the ground.

Both sides shared two goals apiece in the third term, with the margin sitting at 48 points at three quarter time.

An upset wasn’t necessarily on the cards, but the Tigers knew they would have to fight this one out until the final siren.

The highlight of the last term came from debutant Tiger, and local lad, Lachlan Street.

Street juggled a mark on the lead, calmed his nerves and then nailed his set-shot from beyond the arc for his debut VFL goal - he was then swamped by Tiger teammates.

Naish would add his fourth major in the final term after combining with fellow wingman, Fraser Turner, before nailing his goal on the run from 50.

Richmond kicked six goals to two for the quarter and finally broke the spirit of Frankston in the final minutes of the game.

The Tigers sit atop the VFL ladder after six rounds and will host fourth-placed Box Hill at the Swinburne Centre from 11.40am next Sunday. The match will be a curtain raiser to the senior side’s clash against Hawthorn, and broadcast live on Channel 7.

Naish was a clear BOG. Was an extremely impressive performance and his kicking is unbelievably good. Is playing with extreme confidence and looks ready when given a chance.

Weller played mostly as a mid and performed like he should against a weak opposition. Played the game out and won plenty of hard balls.

Soldo dominated and has done all year. Will be interesting to see him play a block of games as his best work is as a tap ruck, but he is improving his around the ground effectiveness.

Egg was fantastic and controlled the back half. He is impressive and hard at the contest and has a strong left leg on him. His development has been dramatic.

RCD continues to play strong contested footy and love the way he is playing. Looks like he enjoys when the game becomes hot in the contest as he goes even harder. He will be a great player for us for many years.

Chol was good across four quarters which is much better as he often drifts out of the play. A big improvement and was good when played in the ruck.

Townsend just hurts the opposition and loves doing it. Good game from him as a mid/forward. Was angry at something or someone for the last half which looked to consume him at stages.

Turner continues to develop and is playing the wing really well. He is another who doesn't shirk a contest and goes when required. Clean and a running machine with a great future.

CCJ took and absolute screamer and nailed the goal which was the main highlight of the day. Provided ruck relief in stages and looks to be playing better as each game passes.

Markov played managed minutes, probably half a game. Provided run and carry on the HB and was sharpe with effective disposals. Was very vocal regards to structures.

Aarts was serviceable- solid enough.

Miller contributed but it would be nice to see him play on key forwards not smaller types. Played better than the game at Casey.

Frankston don't have a great side with the final result reflecting this. Still we played well.

Be interesting to see what we do with regards to replacing Ross....RCD the only obvious inside mid but with Vlastuin potentially coming back and Hardwick indicating he wants to keep playing Garthwaite do we go an inside mid short? Not sure that's a wise move -would require some improvisation....I like  Bolton on ball, Balta has shown his roving abilities...more midfield time for Caddy and even Vlas himself  .....would've nominated Higgins to make way for RCD though he looked to me like he was starting to recapture some of his form and footy smarts in the second half yesterday....he'd still have to be the most vulnerable of the smalls at this point based on performance though....and all this even before Cotchin returns... :shh

Naish deserves to get rewarded after some excellent games in the reserves.

He does but with Ellis playing well and Menadue finally having a good game we're not really in need of a hbf/ outside player......for this week at least..... :shh

If RCD get's a call up before Naish, Patrick would have every reason to feel very, very hard done by

Yes he should feel hard done by if we replaced an inside mid with another inside mid instead of an outside flanker.... :shh
