Juddy Clarke playing today after being a sub last night.
No Tylar Young.

Game played in our back half so far. We can't get it out of our D50.
0 - 7 after six mins.
-
Both teams struggling to get it out of D50. We get repeat entries.
McDonagh misses set shot from 50.
From the kick-in, a bad kick by Geelong from the kick-in is intercepted by Sonsie. He too misses from 40.

Why no advantage, ump? :huh3 We were rebounding off HB and the ump calls it back allowing the Cats to set up behind the ball.
-
We twice can't take the defensive mark and Geelong goal :P.
8 - 13
-
I don't think the commentators have called Bauer's name correctly once yet lol.

Good pressure by Hicks forces the OOTF error by Geelong in our forward pocket. Bananas it for a goal! :gotigers

That was the lowest centrebounce I've ever seen. Ump barely bounced the ball to waist height.

These umps are clueless. Hard to be diving on the ball when you fall backwards ::).
Geelong goal.

Quarter time
Richmond 2.2-14
Geelong 3.4-22
Goals: Hicks, Melville.
A pretty ordinary quarter of decision making by us especially the last 5 minutes. Did our best to give Geelong scoring shots :P.

Nothing to write home about from our 8 AFL-listed players. Only Sonsie and Biggie have touched the ball more than twice.
Geelong has only one AFL-listed player.

Coast to coast from D50 all by linking up by hand and McDonagh gets on the end of it to nail it from 50 :gotigers.

Hicks goes for goal by Bradtke tries to mark it on the line rather than shepherd it through and it's rushed.
21 - 24

McDonagh from 52 out misses.
22 - 24
-
Cumberland gets the free in the pocket 30 out. Goes around the body and misses to the near side.
23 - 24
-
Good forward pressure forces another OOTF in the forward pocket. Faimolo's kick for goal though is across the face and doesn't score. Geelong mark and clear.
Missing a few chance here :scream.
-
Banks lovely kick to Bradtke on the lead 30 out but a free is paid off the ball to Geelong ::).
-
Dumb play by one of VFL-listers kicking dangerously across D50 straight to a Geelong forward. Schoolboy error. Lucky the Cats are missing their shots too.
23 - 25
-
Brindley intercepts on the wing. Goes long to HF and Bradtke takes the contested mark on 50. Difficult breeze but nails it! Goal! :gotigers

Geelong goal. We did our best Keystone Kops impression in D50 in the last few mins.

Half-time
Richmond 2.2 5.5-35

Goals: Bradtke, Cumberland, Hicks, Melville, McDonagh.
Error-riddled game mostly due to some odd rushed decision making.
No one at this stage has put their hand up from our AFL-listers.
Sonsie was pushed into the midfield late in that 2nd qtr.

Love Wi-Fi enabled flights
Can watch this game on my way home
Though, it's a pretty average spectacle ;D
-
No one really putting their hand up for senior selection in that first half just based on the stats.
If Bradtke shows something in the second half, doesn’t even have to necessarily be goals as much as string contested marking then I’d consider bringing him in against the bombers provided wet weather isn’t forecast. Bombers defence is severely undermanned right now.
-
Biggie out of the centre to Green 60 out. Kick to the pocket to Cumberland is spoiling OOB. From the throw-in, Cumberland snaps a point.
36 - 37
-
These umps :facepalm. Cooper tackled immediately and he's pinged for HTB. Gifts Geelong a goal ::).
36 - 44
-
A certain goal stuffed up. Faimolo did well initially bursting inside 50 but his handpass to Clarke was to his feet and the chance was gone :P
-
Sonsie's kick-in is OOTF. Poor checking allows another shot on goal by Geelong. Thankfully they are missing.
36 - 47
Just slop by us. Not switched on.
-
Ball-up 25 out. Bradtke tries taking it out of the ruck and it trickles for a behind.
37 - 47
-
Seriously Tigers! That was embarrassing. One Cat against two Tiger defenders who fall over and gift the Cats a goal :help.
37 - 53
-
Another goal to them.
37 - 59
This is lazy, soft and brainless "effort" from us.
-
That was the only way we looked like scoring. A Geelong defender bizarrely handballing straight to us.
Brindley goal :gotigers
Rich 6.7-43
Geel 8.11-59

Ball-up 20 out. White quick kick and goals! :gotigers

Richmond 2.2 5.5 7.7-49
Geelong 3.4 5.7 8.11-59
Goals: Bradtke, Cumberland, Hicks, Melville, McDonagh, Brindley, White.
That quarter was painful to watch. Talk about clueless play. Seen better organisation at Auskick level :help. Add so many nearly moments due to fumbles and it's a match we've just been off. Need a big lift in intensity and regain some focus and awareness in the last quarter to save this.

Dumb dumb dumb with secs to go. Bauer chips it up the corridor in D50 and Geelong intercepts 40 out.
Luckily the Cats player kicks it high and it doesn't make the distance. You're very very lucky Jacob.

One of those games that should have been winnable and we could have pinched it at the end, but we played so poorly and brainless that we were lucky to get out of it with the 2 points for a draw.

VFL Tigers scrape in a draw against Cats
By Brenton Mann
13 May 2023
RICH 2.2 5.5 7.7 11.9 (75)
GEEL 3.4 5.7 8.11 10.15 (75)
Goal Kickers: Cumberland (3), White, Olden, Nyuon, Melville, McDonagh, Hicks, Brindley, Bradtke
Best Players: Trezise, Banks, Melville, Street, Clarkson, Elliot
----------------------------------------------------
Richmond and Geelong couldn't be split in Round 8 of the VFL on Saturday at the Swinburne Centre.
In a game that struggled to flow at times, the Tigers and Cats were locked on 75 points each at the final siren.
Bigoa Nyuon’s right fist was the hero, as Geelong’s shot to score after the siren fell short and was quelled by the Tiger big man, the final score reading 11.9 (75) to 10.15 (75).
AFL senior coach, Damien Hardwick felt the Tigers’ “heartbeat” return on Friday night and Steve Morris implored his men to keep that rhythm going.
The Tigers fielded yet another debutant, with Matthew Clarkson pulling on the Yellow & Black for the first time in his career.
Clarkson couldn’t escape the Sherrin in the opening term, racking up a game-high 10 disposals and showcasing his dash and poise.
Geelong started the game with the ball parked in its front half, with the Tigers recording their initial inside 50 over five minutes into the first quarter.
The Cats struck first before Brad Melville launched a missile from beyond the arc to kickstart the goal tally for the Tigers.
Geelong answered back, before Angus Hicks curled through a left-foot check-side from beyond the boundary line much to the delight of the Tiger faithful in attendance.
Richmond was able to hold the Cats in its front half for portions of the first quarter, however, the visitors edged clear by eight points as the quarter-time siren sounded.
The fabric of the Tigers’ win at senior level was the ability to overwhelm Geelong with maniacal blitzing pressure, and then send a powerful Yellow & Black wave goalward.
These trademarks were embodied in the opening goal of the second quarter.
Richmond forced the turnover at half-back and exploded from congestion with the ball ending up in the hands of sharpshooter Garrett McDonagh, who pierced a left-foot bullet through the teeth of goal.
The goal sparked the Tigers, as Kaelan Bradtke led and marked strongly, then effortlessly launched a long-range goal from the paint of 50.
The Cats hit back, which was usurped by a Noah Cumberland crumbing goal.
The scoring pendulum swung back in favour of Geelong as it took a two-point lead into the main break.
Geelong methodically built on its lead in the third term, pushing the margin out to as much as 22 points.
Richmond sensed the urgency and ramped up the pressure.
The Tigers swamped the Cats, and importantly cashed in with goals to Tom Brindley and Harrison White, cutting the deficit to 10 points by the final change.
The opening goal of the last quarter was going to be crucial, and whist Geelong had its chances, Nyuon struck the first blow for the Tigers.
Cumberland then capitalised on some slick ball movement by Richmond, calmy slotting his second goal, dragging his side within a kick of the lead.
Geelong looked to have sealed the win with back-to-back goals, but the plucky Tigers would not lay down.
Cam Olden found himself in space close to goal, as Hicks threaded the Sherrin between a sea of blue and white hoops to find Olden who marked and goalled.
Cumberland then latched onto a laser pass from McDonagh and importantly snapped his third goal to slice the deficit to a solitary point.
Olden had a chance to snatch the lead for Richmond, however his set-shot drifted to the right of the goal post, tying up the scores.
The Cats rolled the dice, pumping the ball inside 50, but Richmond’s defensive contingent held firm before Jacob Bauer pass floated over the fingertips of Sam Banks and into the arms of a Cat.
Geelong’s kick after the siren hung high and hovered against the sky and was blasted away from the goal line by Nyuon, sealing the draw.

Bradtke 1 goal :rollin.
And some wanted him in the seniors :facepalm :facepalm
How are his standards? ::)
-
Did Dow play?
-
Did Dow play?
No
-
Yep, Dow is injured so he didn't play.
Didn't see anyone put their hand up today for a promotion. Sonsie's disposal was disappointing today IMO. Bauer was up and down - had some good and ordinary moments in defence (such as the last 30 secs). Banks was solid at HB and arguably our cleanest player today, but 13 possies isn't a lot of the ball for a rebounding defender. Biggie and Cumberland only impacted and looked threatening in the last quarter. Clarke's game time was managed. Seemed to play mostly in the first and last quarters. Bradtke and Green both were ineffective and hardly touched the ball.
-
Who was No.53?
-
Richmond VFL coach Steve Morris provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in Saturday's draw with Geelong at the Swinburne Centre.
Tyler Sonsie (23 disposals, five marks, three clearances)
"Bit of a different role for Tyler. He played down back for the majority of the day, whilst taking a number of centre bounces. It's good learning for him and hopefully he takes some steps forward in his defensive game as a result."
Jacob Bauer (18 disposals, seven marks, four rebound-50s)
"I'd love to see Jacob increase his intent to defend his direct opponent. At the moment, I feel he's trying to do a little bit too much, which is understandable as we were undersized down back. But, this is a good lesson for him to work through these circumstances."
Sam Banks (13 disposals, four tackles, three rebound-50s)
"I thought he was really good. His leadership down back really did stand out. It was a bit of a new role for him this week moving away from a wing, and I thought he set the boys up well behind the footy. His foot skills and work-rate stood out."
Bigoa Nyuon (12 disposals, 22 hit-outs, three marks, one goal)
"I was really pleased with his game. He work-rate really stood out and he looked huge up forward, providing us a good focal point late in the game which was exciting."
Noah Cumberland (11 disposals, two tackles, three goals)
"Really proud of the way he went about it on the day. His attitude was fantastic, he had a big influence on the match, and we loved the way he invested in his teammates."
Judson Clarke (10 disposals, four inside-50s, three rebound-50s)
"A really interesting day for Judson. He barely got sighted in the first half, but it was a real credit to him that he stuck tough and had a really influential second half. He really did look like he could have broken the game open late in the game."
Steely Green (10 disposals, five marks, one tackle)
"Another player who didn't get too much reward for the hard work he put in. He's coming along really nicely in that small forward role and it was nice to see him have an influence."
Kaelan Bradtke (three disposals, four tackles, one goal)
"It was a day of nearlys for Kaelan. He got himself into a number of good positions but he couldn't quite hang onto the mark. He could have easily finished with three or four goals, but after a sting out with injury, he'll be better for that run and he'll turn those opportunities into scoreboard pressure next week."
