Goals: Coleman-Jones 2, Ryan, McDonagh, Bartlett.
Good pressure and defensive set up behind the ball. GWS hardly got past our CHB line.
Eggy has had 11 possies as the main interceptor and rebounder.
We're taller today than the Giants VFL side. Biggie (in defence), Chol (ruck), CCJ & Ryan winning it in the air.
Dow & Martyn prominent as the quarter went along.
We had the breeze to the northern end of Punt Rd that first quarter. So we'll now see how we go playing into it.
-
Ballwatching in defence allows their first goal :facepalm.

Brainfades galore this qtr :banghead.

GWS 0.0 3.6-24
Goals: Coleman-Jones 2, Ryan, Caddy, Chol, Olden, Bartlett, McDonagh.

That’s why Caddy is not playing seniors. Pee weak effort at the stoppage and his man snaps a goal with 1 second left
-
So why didn't we take Josh Green again? :shh
-
Dow was our clear best that quarter. Had a heap of it and was clean and showed poise.
Eggy must have 20 possies or thereabouts.
Chol (frustrating he doesn't present and attack the ball like this all the time) and Stack good too that qtr.
Vision of Caddy's goal that qtr: https://twitter.com/7AFL/status/1393437263338647555

:clapping
Most exciting news was Dow's game.
CCJ great with 5 goals.
Probably the only Tiger who was quietish was MRJ.
-
Dow looked impressive....Stack good but clearly still rusty....MRJ glimpses but still a mile off...like a few on our list he overhits his handballs... :shh
CCJ got the goals but reckon Samson showed just as much if not more promise... :shh :shh
The bloke who was training with us a couple of months ago was arguably GWS best....of course the bloke who beat him out for the spot was arguably our best... :shh :shh :shh
-
Thanks for the updates all.
Reckon Dow could play seniors soon?
-
Miller's a big unit.
-
Willy, if we get beaten in the middle again tonight then Dow should come straight in. A class above today with his vision and poise.
As for the others:
Eggy - will get b.o.g. Swept up everything across HB and set up many attacks..
CCJ - Dominent forward on the ground with 5 goals.
Chol - saw the good Mabs today attacking contests and marking strongly.
Ryan - played permanent forward today. Contested well.
MRJ - nearly moments today. Couldn't really get into game.
Stack - got better as the game went along. Did well.
Martyn - not as polished as Dow but a pleasing return to form. His 3rd qtr was great.
Caddy - early in the game was going to ground and looking slow but he got better and would have had a heap of it in the 2nd half.
Biggie - I'm a fan. Coming along nicely.
Miller - solid game in defence.
-
Good to hear about Dow.
Thanks for the details.

VFL Tigers blitz Giants and return to winners’ list
Richmond VFL ran out winners by 97 points in their first VFL encounter with GWS on Saturday afternoon at the Swinburne Centre.
By Brenton Mann
Richmond Media
16 May 2021
It was a day of firsts at Punt Rd Oval on a frosty Saturday afternoon.
Richmond and GWS faced off for their inaugural VFL clash, and it was the Tigers that prevailed with a commanding 97-point win over the Giants, 19.9 (123) to GWS 3.8 (26).
Callum Coleman-Jones with five goals was a strong focal point up forward and added to his claims for senior promotion, while Thomson Dow and Josh Caddy were dominant through the midfield.
Dow produced arguably his best performance for the Club at any level, utilising his cat-like reflexes and gun-trigger hands to initiate attacking chains or win the ball back from the opposition.
After missing over a month with appendicitis, Dow looks set to put his case forward for an AFL recall in the coming weeks.
Caddy, the senior member of the side, looked sprightly and was invested in aiding the development of the budding Tigers through his care, encouragement, and instruction.
The dual-premiership player also hit the scoreboard in the second half with two majors, and set up numerous others by putting his teammates in better positions.
The Tigers also unveiled four debutants.
Fraser Elliot, Jake Soligo, Cam Olden and Matt Bartlett donned the Yellow & Black for the first time, with Elliot and Soligo being promoted from the NAB league and Olden and Bartlett promoted from Leongatha and Blackburn respectively.
Olden finished the game with three goals and was justly supported by Bartlett who kicked two, whilst the hulking Elliot and silky Soligo were worthy contributors also.
Richmond was back to its best, setting up staunchly behind the ball and holding the Giants goalless for three of the four quarters.
The Tigers looked refreshed and energised coming off their bye in Round 4 and inflicted damage on the scoreboard almost instantly.
Coleman-Jones has been imperious and imposing so far this year and that form continued against the Giants.
The burgeoning forward/ruckman had two goals in the book in the opening two minutes as Richmond capitalised on a sluggish GWS outfit.
The Tigers defended the ground well and moved the ball swiftly and efficiently, which allowed the likes of Coleman-Jones to show their wares one-on-one with their opponent inside 50.
Maurice Rioli set up the first of Coleman-Jones’ two first-quarter majors after he tackled a GWS midfielder on the outer wing and set the Tigers in motion.
Samson Ryan marked strongly at centre half-forward, assessed his options inside 50, and liked the look of Coleman-Jones one-out in the square.
The emerging Tigers’ big man outpointed his opponent, clutched the mark, and sealed the play for Richmond’s opening goal.
Roughly a minute later, Coleman-Jones soccered through his second goal and the Tigers were off to a flyer. Ryan kicked his first and Richmond’s third straight goal soon after.
The Tigers’ debutants looked very comfortable at the level in the opening half, with Matt Bartlett and Cam Olden slotting their first goals in the Yellow and Black, and Jake Soligo and Fraser Elliot industrious through the midfield.
Richmond held GWS scoreless for the first quarter and led by 32 points at quarter-time, before the Giants made inroads with the wind in the second term.
Both sides kicked three goals apiece in the second quarter, as the Giants had the game on their terms for patches of the term.
The third quarter was a stark difference.
Richmond went on a seven-goal tear, three of them kicked by Coleman-Jones.
Zippy small forward Angus Hicks selflessly handed Coleman-Jones his third goal of the game, and first of the third term. His other two were born from strength, forward craft and nous.
Josh Caddy set up Coleman-Jones for his fourth goal after spotting him in space inside 50 on the fat side of the ground.
Coleman-Jones extended his reach above the pack to mark and then kicked truly.
‘C.J’ then collected a sliding chest mark and converted the set shot, taking his tally to five overall.
Sydney Stack is warming nicely into the season and is improving week-on-week, playing as a deep forward and midfielder.
Stack kicked two goals in the second half, but it was his work without the ball that would have pleased the coaching staff the most.
The dynamic Stack was pulverising with his tackling, and sturdy with his attack on the ball.
Bigoa Nyuon was part of an organised defensive unit that made sure the Tigers played the game in their own half for the majority.
Nyuon reads the game extremely well to put himself in the right positions to intercept and turn defence into attack.
Richmond ran away with the game in the second half and is in good shape for its trip north to face Brisbane next Saturday morning.
RICH 5.2 8.4 15.8 19.9 (123)
GWS 0.0 3.6 3.7 3.8 (26)
Goals:
Rich: Coleman-Jones (5), Olden (3), Caddy (2), Bartlett (2), Stack (2), Ryan (2), McDonagh (1), Henderson (1), Chol (1)

Miller is looking good I reckon club rates him.

Miller is looking good I reckon club rates him.
Can he replace Astbury in the next 1-6 months? I hope so!
-
Hopefully and Biggy is another one who I rate.

Richmond VFL playing coach, Steve Morris, provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Saturday's Round 5 win over GWS:
Josh Caddy (32 disposals, eight marks, eight tackles, two goals)
"Josh found plenty of the footy on the weekend. He was physical in and around the contest and was able to hit the scoreboard in a very rounded performance."
Will Martyn (32 disposals, seven marks, seven tackles)
"Will was very good. He was not afraid to get in and under and win the contested footy for us to enable us to use it on the outside."
Derek Eggmolesse-Smith (28 disposals, nine marks, nine rebound-50s)
"Derek had a great game. He started the game very strongly and maintained his starting points and physicality all day. His ball use was of very high quality once again."
Thomson Dow (31 disposals, six marks, six inside-50s)
"'Dowy' was sensational on the weekend. His clearance work and lateral movement around the contest were a real highlight. Really encouraging game from him given the amount of footy he’s missed lately."
Callum Coleman-Jones (19 disposals, five goals, seven marks)
"'CJ' is playing some great footy at the moment and the weekend was no different. His contested work in the air has been first class and he’s also getting some good opportunity in the ruck. Five goals was a dominant display."
Sydney Stack (19 disposals, two goals, seven tackles)
"'Stacky' is improving with each game. He was extremely dynamic when he went into the middle on the weekend and used the footy well. Tackle pressure was also very pleasing."
Ben Miller (19 disposals, six rebound-50s, three marks)
"Ben was solid in his 1 v 1 contests on the back of his body work. He has taken on a real leadership role in helping set us up behind the footy. It was nice to see him also backing his kicking and getting involved in our attack."
Mabior Chol (18 disposals, 22 hit-outs, one goal, seven tackles)
"Had another good game. His ruckwork was good, he provided a great presence for us in the air, and his second efforts were sensational as highlighted by his 7 tackles."
Samson Ryan (14 disposals, 14 hit-outs, six marks, two goals)
"Sampson was a great presence for us in the air on the weekend alongside CJ and Mabs. Our ball movement was much more fluent on the weekend which also helped. He is progressing nicely and it was good to see him hit the scoreboard again."
Bigoa Nyuon (15 disposals, eight marks)
"'Biggy' took a number of intercept marks on the weekend. He was at his best when he was physical with his opponent and his running ability enables him to become a part of our attack."
Maurice Rioli Jnr (13 disposals, five tackles, five inside-50s)
"Maurice was busy as always around the footy. His intent was really strong and he hunted the opposition and forced countless turnovers for us."
