Our best according to the radio commentators:

Chol - controlled the game. Rucked all day against 3 Cats - Zac Smith, Fort & Abbott. Should be close to a senior recall based on today.
Bolton was brilliant.
Broad - very good across the backline supported by Eggy who was serviceable.

Best of our VFL-listed players: Nelson with 5 goals, Beasley and Ballard.

VFL Tigers respond in style

Richmond VFL is back on the winners’ list after a gritty 23-point win over Geelong at the Swinburne Centre on Saturday.

Both sides fought out a dour arm-wrestle for three quarters of the game, before a flood of goals collectively in the final term, 11 in fact, the Tigers saluting, 13.8 (86) to 9.9 (63).

Second gamer, Luke Nelson was deadly in-front of goal, finishing with a game and career-high five majors, including the sealer, his performance oozing with poise and composure.

Both sides were hellacious at the contest, neither yielding until the final siren.

Mabior Chol was set the task of combating Geelong’s quartet of ruckmen.

He continually leapt high over Zac Smith, Darcy Fort, Wylie Buzza and Ryan Abbott and was cat-like at the fall of the ball, as well as damaging up forward in the frenetic final term.

The athletic Tiger’s evolution as a leader shone bright, slotting two crucial goals. He was a vital cog as Richmond motored to a memorable win.

Shai Bolton showcased his mix of elegance and grunt, recording a game-high 12 tackles.

He was captivating with ball in hand and delivered the ball with poise and penetration.

He dribbled through the Tigers’ opening major of the final term, as the electric midfielder burst from a forward-50 stoppage, setting the hosts on a match-winning four-goal run.

Goals to Chol, Nelson and Blake Grewar followed, as Richmond raced to a 29-point lead, eight minutes into the last quarter.

Richmond had the game on its terms, but Geelong flicked the switch and its glutton of big men loomed ominous.

The Cats were able to find Buzza, who sparked the visitors with a goal from beyond the arc.

Composure would be key in the Tigers’ quest for victory, and workhorse, Tom Silvestro, held his nerve to find Chol free inside-50 shortly after Buzza’s team-lifting goal.

Chol propelled himself at the ball, marking unguarded 35-metres out on a 45-degree angle. The ruckmen’s moment had arrived.

He cooled the nerves, sent the ball on its way and celebrated as soon as the ball left his boot.

Geelong was not done.

The Cats slammed through three goals in the blink of an eye, slicing the margin to 11 points with enough time to snatch victory from the clutches of Richmond.

The ball pinged from contest to contest, and as the tension swelled around him, Nelson rode the crest of the wave, kicked his fifth major, sealing the momentous win.   

Jake Aarts extended the margin with a goal after the siren, as the Tiger Army rejoiced.

While the Tigers clung to a slender five-point lead at three-quarter time, with a collective 11 goals kicked for the previous three quarters, Richmond’s seven goal final term was enough to hold the Cats at bay.

VFL senior coach Craig McRae’s pre-game address centred around embracing and celebrating the connection that the group holds dear.

Jacob Ballard, Danie Coffield, Silvestro and Hugh Beasley were the glue binding Richmond’s VFL team, helping drive connection.

The Tigers kicked the dew off Punt Road Oval and welcomed Geelong VFL after the Cats’ early morning trek up the highway.

The Cats sprang into action from the opening bounce, putting the likes of the returning Nathan Broad, Derek Eggmolesse-Smith and Coffield under the pump.

Broad, who found himself back at VFL level for the first time since Round 1, 2018, had an impact from the get-go.

He gelled instantly with VFL defenders Beasley and Coffield, as the trio asserted their aerial influence on Geelong’s bevy of big men.

The premiership defender gathered 19 disposals and a team-high six spoils. He ran his heart from siren-to-siren, showing a blend of defensive prowess and attacking flair.

Another defender who seemed to relish setting his alarm on a Saturday morning was Eggmolesse-Smith.

The dashing half-back was at his best, energetic and urgent in defence, while piercing and precise with his disposal by foot.

Geelong secured the opening major of the game after James Parson nailed his set-shot from beyond the arc at the Brunton Avenue end.

The ball was parked in the Tigers’ defensive half for most of the early going, before budding defender, Chad Harris stormed off half-back to find second gamer, Nelson on the lead.

Nelson’s guided through his set-shot for Richmond’s opening major.

The home side was able to get the game back on its terms for the remainder of the quarter, trapping the ball in its front half and gaining repeat entries inside 50.

Shai Bolton warmed into the game, and when his hack kick found its way into the clutches of Shaun Mannagh, the Tigers had their second goal, and a three-point lead.

Inaccuracy plagued both sides in the second term, before a second-game Tiger set Punt Road Oval alight post half-time.

Nelson rose to prominence in the third term, thwarting Geelong’s attacking chains on multiple occasions, leading to two majors of his own and a direct assist in the opening goal of the second half.

The crafty forward stalked the Cats’ defenders before springing to action and clutching the forward-half turnover, kicking the ball to the advantage of Grewar inside 50.

Grewar nailed the tough set-shot in the Punt Road pocket and justly rewarded the great work of Nelson.

The Tigers celebrated as one after a true “Richmond-like” performance.

Richmond will need to set its alarms once again next Saturday, June 15, as it takes on Coburg at Holm Park Reserve, Beaconsfield at 11.00am.

Richmond youngsters shine in VFL win over Geelong

By Nic Negrepontis

8 June 2019


Richmond’s youngsters have stood up and got the side over the line in the VFL against Geelong.

Shai Bolton responded to his omission with 25 disposals, 11 tackles and a goal in the 86-63 win.

Mabior Chol was equally impressive in the win, kicking two goals and performing admirably against Zach Smith and Ryan Abbott in the win.

Fourth round pick in the 2018 draft Fraser Turner was the leading disposal winner on the ground with 26, while Nathan Broad picked up 19 himself.

While the Tigers have their injury problems, they certainly have a lot of depth and they sit two games clear on top of the VFL ladder because of it.

As for the Cats, Charlie Constable (26 disposals) continues to bang the door down for selection, Scott Selwood finished with 17 of his own and James Parsons two goals and 18 touches.

Nathan Kreuger and Wylie Buzza booted five between them and might be called upon if Esava Ratugolea’s hamstring injury is serious.

Good to hear Chol pulled his finger out after the performance I seen against north.

If he plays with that sort of intensity there’s no reason he shouldn’t be in the seniors ahead of Soldo.

We need a Ruck that can actually compete and mark the footy around the ground.

Also good to hear that Bolton stepped up too. I’d swap him with Rioli this week as Rioli wasn’t that good and didn’t provide the level of pressure that we have all come to expect. Rioli should never have been promoted from that Norf vfl performance as he was ordinary and was gifted a senior call up.

Choldo for Soldo  - unleash the big black mamba... :shh

Not panicking but starting to be slightly concerned abut RCD's lack of progrees...and in particular his almost Tambling- like tap dance of uncertainty around the contests...Do I go in do I spread out -what's this game all about?  Can I get another witness? :help

Match Report:


Fraser Turner

26 disposals, six clearances, one goal, three inside-50s & two rebound-50s

“Continues to accumulate possessions at this level. Played through the wing and even a little bit of inside midfield during the last quarter—five clearances, kicked a goal. He’s a really nice player in the making for us.”

Shai Bolton

25 disposals, 11 tackles, nine clearances & one goal

“Returned from the AFL, played inside midfield and was really pleasing for him to come back and influence the game, both offensively and defensively. He kicked a goal, but his 11 tackles was a feature, 16 contested possessions of his 25. He looks ready to bounce back to AFL level.”

Mav Weller

22 disposals, seven tackles, eight clearances & four rebound-50s

“Continues to play good football as an inside midfielder for us…hard at it, hard to play against and his strong body around the contest had a significant impact for us. He had a great game.”

Nathan Broad

19 disposals, six spoils & four rebound-50s


“Returned from the AFL and got 19 disposals as a defender. Six spoils was a stand-out, and his four rebound-50s. His contest stuff looked strong as well, so it was a pleasing return to VFL footy.”

Derek Eggmolesse-Smith

16 disposals, nine marks, four tackles & six rebound-50s


“Continued his good form with 16 disposals. Used the ball really well and had six rebound-50s. His contest work also stood out. Another player in good form.”

Connor Menadue

15 disposals, six marks, four tackles & six handball receives


“Played through the wing and a bit off half-back. Was really influential in his leadership and his directing, he’s playing his role really well, he’s playing really good footy for us.”

Mabior Chol

15 disposals, 22 hit-outs, five clearances, six tackles & two goals


“Took on the reins as No.1 ruck. He had a big ask against four ruckmen in the opposition team, and ‘Marbs’ was going at it by himself. He was outstanding, he had 15 disposals, five clearances and kicked two goals. When he plays like that he looks like an AFL player, and what he brought was really important in the end result.”

Oleg Markov

13 disposals, six marks, three tackles & four rebound-50s


“Got better as the game wore on as he returned from illness. He started to really express himself on the ground with his run-and-carry and bounce. I love it when he plays like that, so that was pleasing to see.”

Jake Aarts

13 disposals, four marks, five tackles, three inside-50s & one goal


“Played as a forward and had multiple opportunities to kick goals in the second quarter. He ended up with 1.2 and kicked one (goal) on the siren. His contest stuff really stood out, and he had 13 disposals and five tackles which was a really good performance from Jake.”

Riley Collier-Dawkins

Eight disposals, three marks, two tackles, three inside-50s & two rebound-50s


“He had to play a bit more forward this week. He came into the game with a bit of illness and fought really hard for us.”

Turner... :shh

Wonder if Weller will get another chance as an inside mid or would Hardwick just plonk him the forward line again? :shh :shh

Too bad Hardwick won't play Bolton on-ball and won't even select Chol.... :shh :shh :shh

Too often we see blokes get called up but then not played in the positions they most excel at in the VFL, then they get dropped again.... >:(

Pfft!

You want it enough you take the bull by the horns and you come in and play your role as your coaches ask.

If you were given an opportunity in your prime would you care where you were playing?

Yes let's  keep ignoring player strengths or what positions  they play their best football in and stick on-ballers at half back or in the forward pocket and then bitch & moan & pot them and wonder why they don't get similar numbers at the next level... :shh
