We've been ordinary, just not with it today
Pickett is a squad player at best. No 25 to 30 on a list. Our supporters get excited about prospect but this guy was out of the AFL system for a reason. Outside of his first game at reserves level he has been ordinary.

CCJ and Balta developing beautifully. We have 2 talls who will be excellent long term players.

Thus no ice

What rubbish!
I was disappointed to see him dropped but he has just as much risk doing his ankle in the twos as the ones? You don’t protect guys by playing them in the ones??!!
There is no reason or logic by that assessment. How fatalistic are you blokes? Do you not get out of bed for fear of getting hit by a bus?
Just a frustrating result, but injuries happen in footy. Don’t be bitter.
-
It’s funny that I’ve never heard of syndesmosis until maybe last year now I hear about it all the time.
Back in the day we used to hear about osteitis pubis but no one talks about that anymore.
-
To their credit many of the youngsters really stepped it up in the last quarter. Naish, Turner RCD were all good as was Balta, CCJ.
-
Solid win but still much room for improvement for finals- Bumblers killed us in the air and most of their goals were the result of missed tackles/weak tackling failing to stop their ball movement by hand...good to see kids like RCD stand up in the last when the whips were cracking.. :shh

VFL Tigers end home and away season with a nail-biter
Brenton Mann
AFL media
Aug 17, 2019 6:15PM
There was a hint of spring in the air and shades of September in August as Richmond VFL ended its home and away season in fine style, surging past Essendon to record at 12-point win on the road.
The Tigers made the pilgrimage north to face the Bombers at Windy Hill and were pushed all the way by a side looking to cement its place in the top four, and also atone for its performance the week prior.
In a game of ebbs and flows, the class and grit of Richmond shone through to secure a 13.5 (83) to 11.5 (71) win.
One point down at three-quarter time, and with the backing of a raucous, pro-Bomber crowd, the home side’s midfield flexed its muscle early in the final term, but Richmond was staunch behind the ball.
Ryan Garthwaite and Kamdyn McIntosh provided the wealth of knowledge and experience, while fourth gamer, Bailey Henderson provided the brashness of youth.
Henderson was shifted back in the last quarter and stood-up in some big, big moments.
Garthwaite was iron-fisted and courageous, and McIntosh cool and confident.
Connor Menadue played a sacrificial role in the previous three quarters before being let loose in the midfield, inflicting maximum damage.
Trailing by a point, with 20 minutes gone in the last quarter, Menadue’s class and penetration by foot came to the fore, as his running goal gifted the Tigers back the lead.
A lead they wouldn’t surrender.
Dan Butler sealed the win after Ben Miller and Menadue caused a turnover in the corridor and fed the ball to Butler, who stepped to the paint of 50 and drilled home the sealer.
Jacob Townsend is a player that you want on your side in a street fight, and that’s what the last quarter resembled, as Townsend willed himself from contest to contest, collecting collateral damage as he went.
The Tigers and Bombers went into battle at a venue famous for the brawl at half-time of the sides’ round-seven clash in 1974.
Essendon had a chance jump to third spot on the ladder with a win over the ladder leaders, and if Geelong was to beat Williamstown.
After shoring up top-spot and a home final, it was important for Richmond to affix its gaze to the immediate task at hand and not allow its eye to wander to the game in a fortnight’s time.
The Bombers were urgent and energetic from the opening bounce and controlled the midfield battle in the first quarter, led by experienced campaigner, David Myers.
The Tigers’ defensive unit was put under immense pressure from the get-go, as the Bombers moved the ball swiftly from stoppages with sleek ball movement by hand.
Richmond’s half-back duo of Derek Eggmolesse-Smith and Marlion Pickett were urgent and evasive, as Eggmolesse-Smith set-up the first goal of the game with daring disposal by foot.
The dashing left footer scooped up the loose ball at half-back and pierced it onto the chest of Townsend who inturn put the ball into the path of Menadue, vacant on the wing.
Menadue then took off and drove the ball deep inside 50 pin-pointing Noah Balta, 15 metres out in front of goal.
Balta converted the set-shot - his first of two goal for the term - breaking the deadlock of a scoreless opening 12 minutes.
The burgeoning big man was given licence to roam in the opening half, splitting ruck duties with Callum Coleman-Jones, and enjoyed the freedom afforded to him.
All the things Richmond fans and the football public have come to love about Balta were on show - the size, the speed, the athleticism, and of course, the unpredictability.
Watching Balta week-to-week can at times be like watching a two-year-old colt navigate its way through its first Spring campaign - the form graph hits peaks and troughs, but the excitement level is always at fever pitch.
The Bombers had the game on their terms for the majority of the first term, keeping the ball in constant motion and bouncing off half-back at will.
The Tigers took their chances inside 50 which allowed them to cling to a six-point lead at the first break, a lead they also held at half-time.
The second term was an arm wrestle and a sign of things to come for the remainder of the game.
Coleman-Jones kicked started the second quarter for the Tigers after taking a towering mark on the boundary then curling home a goal from 35 metres out.
Just a reminder, Coleman-Jones is a second-year ruckman, Tiger Army.
Essendon then snatched the lead on the back of a three-goal burst which had Richmond on the back foot.
Late goals to Miller and Butler reinstated the Tigers’ six-point lead at the main break.
Sydney Stack gathered 15 disposals in the first half before injuring his right lower leg, which led to him sitting out after half-time.
The second half had a hint of finals football and was a tremendous prelude to what’s to come in a fortnight’s time.

-
Richmond’s mid-year draft selection Marlion Pickett had his quietest game in yellow and black, playing the bulk of his time in defence.
Big men Noah Balta and Callum Coleman-Jones combined to dominate around the ground for the Tigers.
Balta finished the game with 18 touches, two goals and 21 hit outs, while Coleman-Jones had 19 touches, a goal and 28 hit outs.
Ball-magnet and Liston Trophy chance Patrick Naish was at his best when the whips were cracking in the last term, and finished with a team-high 26 touches and added a goal.
“We tried to play him in different roles today and we’ve been doing that for about eight weeks now and Naishy is finding different ways to shine,” McRae said.
Richmond won the contest at Windy Hill 13.5 (83) to 11.5 (71).

CCJ and Balta developing beautifully. We have 2 talls who will be excellent long term players.
Both thanks to the Lids' trade.
Yep, Ramps. CCJ is only a 20 year old ruckman. Exciting to think what he'll be like in 5 years when he starts to hit his peak years as a ruck.
Balta is a still a teenager. At the moment he's producing quarter-long cameos here and there. When he matures in a few years time and puts four quarters together, he's going to be absolutely scary. He'll tear games apart in a short space of time with that freakish athleticism.
-
My take
Pickett not ready
CCJ will be first ruck in 2 years or key forward
Balta will be a star
Towner just keeps giving
-
Coffeild has some AFL traits....though Charlie Thompson has more potential IMO.... (where is he btw - can't be injured because he was named in some rep. squad the other week?):shh
Can't get a game at the moment. Limited player :shh
-
Would be an upgrade on Menadud.... :shh :shh

Menadue is blocking the kid from getting a game, need to look at dropping list cloggers like him so we can get a better look at these kids outside the system.....:shh :shh :shh

Menadue is blocking the kid from getting a game, need to look at dropping list cloggers like him so we can get a better look at these kids outside the system.....:shh :shh :shh
Do some of you posters actually read the articles that are posted.
Quote from a previously posted media article 'Connor Menadue played a sacrificial role in the previous three quarters before being let loose in the midfield, inflicting maximum damage.'
Menadue sacrifices his normal game for the team for three quarters and is pilloried for it.

VFL and development coach Craig McRae provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Saturday's Round 20 win over Essendon.
Patrick Naish
26 disposals, one goal, 10 handball receives, four inside-50s & four rebound-50s
“He really played his role well, played a little bit forward this week as well as the wing and he continues his good form at this level.”
Callum Coleman-Jones
19 disposals (14 contested possessions), eight marks (five contested), 28 hit-outs, four clearances & one goal
“Is another who’s in terrific form, 19 disposals, 14 contested (possessions), eight marks, five of those contested which was a real feature. He dominated the aerial contest all-day and kicked a nice goal as well as having four clearances and 28 hit-outs. A pretty complete game for a 19-year old ruckman, so he’s in great form.”
Noah Balta
18 disposals (14 contested possessions), three tackles, 21 hit-outs, seven clearances, three inside-50s & two goals
“Played in the ruck as well as a little bit forward. He’s starting to develop really well. He got us going through his clearances and two first-quarter goals—18 disposals is a good return to form from Noah.”
Kamdyn McIntosh
18 disposals, six marks, three tackles, three inside-50s & four rebound-50s
“Continues his form down back, 18 disposals and he ended up being really critical in the dying minutes of the game. He took a couple of really nice intercept marks and he looks like he’s playing above the level again which is pleasing.”
Luke English
18 disposals (13 contested possessions), two tackles & two goals
“Two weeks in a row where he’s kicked two goals, 18 disposals and similar statistics to last week, 13 of his 18 were contested. It was really pleasing to see him continue his development.”
Dan Butler
17 disposals, six handball receives, 12 tackles & two goals
“He kicked 2.1 and 12 tackles was the feature of his game. He was hard with his pressure and around the contest and 17 disposals. It was a really nice game from Dan. He kicked the winning goal to seal it for us.”
Riley Collier-Dawkins
16 disposals, seven handball receives, seven tackles & four clearances (three centre clearances)
“An inside mid(fielder) and played a little bit forward, seven tackles which was really pleasing to see, Riley’s playing his best when that part of his game is up.”
Sydney Stack
15 disposals (13 contested possessions), two tackles & five clearances
“Played extremely well, 15 disposals and had all of them up until halftime as he got injured just after half-time."
Ryan Garthwaite
15 disposals, seven marks, four spoils & five rebound-50s
“An outstanding player for us on the day. His intercept marking was a real feature. He’s got the balance between spoiling and marking right; he’s had four spoils but seven marks was a highlight. He’s playing great football for us.”
Fraser Turner
14 disposals, two tackles, five inside-50s & two rebound-50s
“It was a quieter day for Fraser. He played wing as he has been, he was down on his possession rate and he’s got some work to do on his positioning and we’re looking forward to him bouncing back next game.”
Jacob Townsend
14 disposals, six tackles, six clearances, three inside-50s, three rebound-50s & one goal
“Just as always, gives you an amazing effort, six tackles, kicked a goal, just really tough, 10 contested possessions. Players love playing with him.”
Mav Weller
14 disposals, three marks & two inside-50s
“Returned from injury and was a little quiet on the day. He had moments where he really set-up the game well for us. He looked like he got better as the game wore on. I’m sure he’ll be better in the coming weeks.”
Marlion Pickett
14 disposals, two tackles, two spoils & two clearances
“Continued his growth as a Richmond player. Played down back and went through the midfield in the last quarter—14 disposals, 10 contested (possessions). He was diligent within the game plan and playing to his role. He was a bit down on his previous two games but he’ll learn from this performance.”
Connor Menadue
13 disposals, six handball receives, four marks, three tackles, six inside-50s & two goals
“Played forward and a bit of wing, six inside-50s was a feature. Kicked two goals, one of them at a critical time in the last quarter, it was a classy finish on the run from Connor. He’s an important player for us.”
Derek Eggmolesse-Smith
11 disposals, seven handball receives, three marks & three inside-50s
“He’s an important ball-user off half-back. He had a dangerous match-up with young (Irving) Mosquito but certainly fought on well and was important in the contest.”
Callum Moore
Eight disposals, two spoils, two marks, three inside-50s & one goal
“Second game back after a long stint (with injury). He didn’t have the same impact as his previous week. Just his ability to get out back from contests was difficult to do at times. He kicked a nice goal and I’m sure he’ll be better for the run.”
Oleg Markov
Five disposals, two marks & one inside-50
“Played forward, the game was quite stifling at times and he had limited opportunities so he had limited impact at times but he was consistently trying to impact aerially in his role and fight for the outside.”
Ben Miller
Two disposals, one tackle & one goal
“Low impact in this game, he kicked a nice goal and we’re really looking for him to improve in his contest stuff. He’s learning the craft of being a forward and this week was a good learning day for him.”
