CCJ and Miller not playing in the VFL according to the commentators.

A goal to Frankston in the first 35 seconds without us touching the ball.

Ball-up 15m out. Martyn's snap misses.

Doesn't look like Caddy or Dow are playing either.

That should've been HTB. Frankston forward held the ball in.
Poor defending but the Dolphins not punishing us.
1 - 8
-
Dumb footy. Samson grabs the jumper in the ruck and then Maurice gives away a down the field free for a late bump.
Luckily again the shot missed everything.
-
Very lucky Hugo. Turns on a time but his snap doesn't make the distance. However, it does a Warney legbreak and bounces out of the reach of the Frankston defender and goes through :gotigers.
Rich 1.1-7
stuff 1.2-8

Martyn the clearance out of the centre, not pretty but Bartlett gathers the handball and it bounces to Cumberland who goals :gotigers.

Ralphsmith a bit selfish there.
Had a player to handpass too at 45 that was running towards him but he decided to do a 360 and snap instead luckily he got a very lucky bounce

Samson now winning the ruck.
Cook to Rioli who centres it and it gets to Hugo. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 4.1-25

Got it forward again but after a good smother there was a missed handball. Frankston clear. They chip chip until they get a break to run forward. Luckily again they miss.

Ball up 35 out. Street shoved to the ground in the ruck. Misses badly.

Richmond 4.3-27

RCD & Martyn our best ballwinners.
If Will was a good kick he'd be a star.
-
We've luckily got away with two really poor basic skill errors so far this quarter. Lazy handball by Ryan 20 out in defence and then that handpass to Biggie's feet at HB :facepalm.
Play stopped with a Frankston player down.
-
Aside from Maurice who is working hard to create, the skill level has been awful so far this qtr :facepalm. RCD with back to back kicks that failed to hit the target 20m away. He's not on his pat malone though.
-
Clever Irish tap up by foot by Biggie.
Ball-up 40 out. Free to Ryan in the ruck. Hands off to Naish but he sprays his kick.
Ball remains in our F50. Ball-up 20 out. Cumberland's snap misses.

Great chase down tackle by Joel Nathan. Saved a goal.
-
That's 50 every day of the week, umpire ::). You can't come in and grab/bump a player to the ground who has taken an uncontested mark to hold up the play. That's why the rule was brought in.
Frankston gain possession and run it down for a goal.
40 - 22
-
Dumb footy. Frankston now flooding back and waiting to hit us on the counter. You don't kick it to contests where our player is isolated and turn over the ball :banghead.
Gifts them a goal.
40 - 28

Well that was gift wrapped to us :lol. Frankston kick sideways straight to Scanlon 20 out directly in front. Goal!

If Maurice repeats his first half in the second then I'd be tempted to bring him for either Aarts or George on current 'form'. Fills the same pressure role but more creative and better skilled.
Almost have Cumberland in there too given how poor poor Aarts and George have been in the seniors. At least Noah contests against his direct opponent and hits the scoreboard. I think it's 8 goals now in the past 6 quarters(?).
-
All the run of the play to start the 3rd qtr but our F50 entries have been awful. Butchered everyone of them :banghead.
Frankston go forward on the counter once and find a mark and goal :banghead.

Finally we find and hit a leading target up forward. Cook to Hugo 45 out. Goal! :gotigers
That's Hugo's 3rd.

McDonagh's kick-in is over Morris' head and OOTF.
Eggy's kick isn't 15m.
Eggy can't mark it.
:facepalm
Goal to Frankston.

We get it forward from the centre clearance. Not a great handball to Bartlett who fumbles but he gets the free for too high 40 out. Take the Goal! :gotigers

Frankston get it back again at our HB and this time they goal.
We gave them enough chances :banghead.

What a frustrating quarter.
We'd have the momentum and a stack of inside 50s for lengthy periods via our pressure but not find a target. We'd then cough up a goal and momentum from silly schoolboy errors gifting Frankston plenty of shots which they miss all but one. We'd then pinch a goal against the run of play and regain the momentum. Rinse and repeat.

RCD to McDonagh who finds Cumberland 45 out on an acute angle. Misses.

Won by 16 points :gotigers.

I was really impressed with the win. Our system holding up despite only having about 9 AFL listed players in the team and many unskilled players in our team.
The pressure applied throughout the whole game was elite, most impressive was the pressure held up in the last quarter when you’d expect a young team to drop off significantly as we have done so many times in previous games.
Great team effort and a very impressive performance and execution of the Richmond game we love.

Did Cumberland do enough to get a senior gig?

Did Cumberland do enough to get a senior gig?
Noah kicked his 3 goals in the first half. Quieter in the second half. Had a couple of half chances but didn't have a clean touch. Having said that he couldn't do any worse than Aarts in the seniors.

VFL Tigers see off dogged Dolphins
By Brenton Mann
AFL Media
1 August 2021
After being pummelled by arctic blasts for the best part of a month, Melbourne turned on a sparkling winter’s day at Skybus Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The ever-changing nature of the 2021 VFL season meant that Frankston and Richmond remerged from a two-week hiatus for their Round 16 clash.
Richmond weathered a barrage of Dolphins’ pressure and inflicted a fair amount of its own, running over the top of its hosts by 16 points.
Down a rotation minutes before the opening bounce, the Tigers had to manage injuries during the game and in the end, their heart got them over the line, the final score reading 15.9 (99) to 12.11 (83).
The multidimensional forward line, headed by Noah Cumberland and Hugo Ralphsmith, were potent and manic once the ball hit the deck, ensuring it either stayed in Richmond’s forward half or exited under maximum pressure.
Samson Ryan was herculean, kicking two crucial goals in the final quarter and playing a sole hand in the ruck.
Ryan was pitted against an experienced ruckman, but steeled himself, getting his hand to the ball and feeding the midfielders at his feet.
A collective nine goals were kicked in a frenetic last quarter, Richmond jagging five and Frankston four, with the budding Tigers holding off their more seasoned opponent.
The Tigers started sluggishly, as Frankston jumped to an early lead with a goal in the opening minute, with a bevy of Dolphins lining up in the corridor.
The Dolphins owned the opening minutes, with Richmond struggling to get any flash or flow into its game.
Luckily for the Tigers, Frankston failed to capitalise on its dominance in general play, and the visitors made them pay.
Richmond went on a 10-minute tear, netting four unanswered goals, two each to emerging youngsters, Cumberland and Ralphsmith.
Richmond’s first was kicked by Ralphsmith, with the dashing wingman deployed as a deep forward, a swooped on a loose ball inside 50 and snapped truly.
Cumberland, fresh off five goals a fortnight earlier against Collingwood, showcased his grunt and potency inside 50 with a quick snap from congestion for the Tigers’ second goal.
Cumberland displayed his grunt and tenacity with his second goal, trapping a Dolphins’ defender at the top of the goal square where he was justly rewarded with a stuff and goal.
Ralphsmith’s second goal came via a set-shot after marking sharply on the lead.
The Tigers led by 11 points at quarter time.
The pressure went up a notch in the second term, as Frankston played the role of niggling host.
Cumberland waltzed into an open goal, kicking the opening goal of the quarter, taking his haul to three after 40 minutes of football.
Will Martyn and Riley Collier-Dawkins started to exert their influence around the ball and in transition, with both providing good balance inside and outside the contest.
The pair are pushing their claim for a senior recall, and their opening-half performance wouldn’t have done their claims any harm.
Martyn was a battering ram and showcased his poise with ball in hand, streaming forward from multiple centre bounces.
Collier-Dawkins was a bull, rarely lost his feet in the contest, kept his hands free and set-up his teammates on the outside.
They were handsomely supported by pocket dynamo, Maurice Rioli, whose influence on games has grown as the year has ticked on.
Rioli’s ferocity at the man and ball are likeable traits, and his decision making in traffic by hand or foot cannot be underestimated. He’s quick to pounce and attempt to win the ball back, which he’s usually successful at.
A three-goal-to-two second term extended the Tigers' lead to 18 points at the main break.
Bigoa Nyuon suited up for just his fifth game with premiership points on the line, and after a solid day out last time against Collingwood, he looked to grow from that performance against Frankston.
His scope looks infinite and possesses the traits to be moulded into a very capable key defender at AFL level.
The athletic big man’s situational understanding of where to deploy himself and where he’s best utilised is growing by the week.
He left the field midway through the third term with an eye injury and didn’t re-emerge.
Pressure in the third quarter was just as high, as the Dolphins cut the deficit to just eight points heading into the final term.
Patrick Naish had a tweak in his role this week, spending time at the centre bounce, splitting his time between midfield and wing.
Naish’s ability to win the contested ball and get on the fly at the centre bounce and at stoppages was a real weapon at times.
The dynamic Tiger kick started the road to victory, slotting a set-shot from beyond the boundary and the paint of 50, underlining his skill and ability to execute in big moments.
Richmond stretched its lead to 30-points midway through the last quarter before the Dolphins booted two in a row, including one on the siren, but to no avail.
The Dolphins came at Richmond from all angles, but Richmond matched them in the contest and then inflicted maximum damage inside 50.
FRANKSTON: 2.4 4.4 8.9 12.11 (83)
RICHMOND: 4.3 7.4 10.5 15.9 (99)
Goals:
Richmond: Cumberland (3), Ralphsmith (3), Olden (3), Ryan (2), Scanlon (2), Naish (1), Bartlett (1)

Richmond VFL playing coach, Steve Morris' summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Sunday's 16-point win over Frankston.
Patrick Naish (33 disposals, six inside-50s, six tackles, one goal)
"Found a lot of the footy all day. Was great to see him have six tackles and a superb finish from the boundary in the last quarter at a really important stage of the game."
Derek Eggmolesse-Smith (29 disposals, 11 rebound 50s, five marks)
"Derek had a great game, he got better as the game went on. His ball-use was outstanding as always and his voice has been a real highlight setting us up behind the footy."
Riley Collier-Dawkins (27 disposals, six clearances, three tackles)
"Was outstanding in the middle of the ground with six clearances. He was really important, providing a big body to bash and crash all day against a strong midfield."
Will Martyn (25 disposals, nine marks, seven tackles, two score assists)
"Continues to throw himself into the contest. Found a lot of the footy again on the weekend and continued to persevere and tackle and put pressure on defensively. He's tracking really well."
Samson Ryan (14 disposals, two goals, 39 hit-outs, eight tackles)
"Kicked two goals for the day and probably could have had a third. It was important that he competed strongly in the ruck and he did a really good job. Also had eight tackles which was a highlight."
Maurice Rioli Jnr (11 disposals, eight tackles, three clearances)
"Put sensational pressure on all day. It was really important that he was able to fight through injury and come back and really have an impact for us on the ground after hurting his ankle, which is a sign of his maturity."
Noah Cumberland (nine disposals, three goals, five tackles)
"Could've had four goals in the first half. He competed really hard for us, we were undersized in the forward line and needed him to compete, and that's what he did. He had a great game for us."
Hugo Ralphsmith (eight disposals, three goals, three marks)
"Had a quiet game by his standards but importantly, he was able to hit the scoreboard with three goals. So, we'll certainly take that, and look for him to have an even greater impact next week."
Bigoa Nyuon (eight disposals, four marks)
'Biggy' had a sensational first half. Unfortunately, he copped a poke to the eye in the third quarter and that saw him sit out the remainder of the game, but he was really important for us."

We are starting to see good numbers from the Young mids. We have a positive future with a great draft hand. We just have to make good decisions.
-
Cumberland deserves a crack , replacement for one of our small forwards
-
Replacement for both of them....:shh
-
Guys like Cumberland were picked up in 2019 ffs. They've had 1 full year (2020, no VFL) and 2021 so far.
Definitely keep another year before we cut them loose.
