Blight intercept mark in the D50 goalsquare. Off to Banks who kicks to Green on the wing who takes 4 bounces to the 50 and cuts it back to Gray 35 out. Makes a meal of the shot and it's no score :P.
-
First two goals to Box Hill.
0 - 13
-
How is that not HTB? ::) Would've given us a shot from 50.
-
No pressure out there. We're 10-15m off our direct opponents. Box Hill allowed to switch and move the ball with ease.
0 - 19
-
We finally get a centre clearance. Gray (now in the ruck) takes a ping on the run from beyond 50 but it takes a wide bounce for a behind only.
1 - 19
-
Throw-in 40 out. Davidson snap under pressure misses.
2 - 19
-
3 mistackles in a row allows the Hawks a set shot :facepalm. Lucky the shot was butchered.
We return the favour with the dodgy D50 turnover :facepalm. Just not switched on so far.
2 - 20
-
No one defensive side building the wall across F50 and we allow Box Hill to waltz up the ground for another easy goal :facepalm.
2 - 26
-
Long kick by Brindley inside D50. Davidson dribbles the ball towards goal but it rolls into the post.
3 - 26
-
Pollocks open inside F50 but George sprays the kick and it goes out of bounds.
McCarthy's kick inside 50 straight to a Hawks defender who takes an uncontested mark.
:help

Another aimless long bomb in hope and it's spoiled for another behind.

Definitely missing Archie May's presence up forward. There's no system going inside F50. We're just kicking long aimless kicks and they're being picked off by taller Hawk defenders.
-
Gray moved up forward and it pays off immediately. He marks the pass from Garner on the lead 40 out. Chips off to Green 30 out. Goal! :gotigers
Finally!

Our F50 entries are clueless and hopeless.

Goal to Box Hill. Again feeding off our moronic play :banghead.

Garner inside 50. Yassine gathers and centres to George 35 out. Shanks a floater and misses badly.
18 - 41
We get it back from the kick-in and it's marked by Bauer. But an off the ball free reverses it. Sums us up. Just stupid so far!

Go back inside and find your bloody brains. It's not Auskick! :scream
Individually Blight has been very good behind the ball. Box Hill would be further in front without him. Gray has been lively too at times.

Amateur hour with and without the footy. Missing sitters and tackles. Dumb and lazy low percentage 'efforts'. Box Hill scored most of their goals off the back of our F50 misses. Didn't turn up to play and got what we deserved.
ps. Let's hope the seniors don't have the same lazy mindset in Dusty's 300th.

Blight the only real highlight. :shh
Davidson is ridiculously overhyped. :shh
Be surprised if Coulthard is still on the list next year at this rate. :shh
Banks another Shortsteps, gets found out in the heat. Ngmi IMO :shh
Bauer is a forward first & foremost. :shh
Glimpses from Gray bit was mostly unconvincing today. :shh

VFL Tigers defeated by Box Hill
By Zakariya El-Houli
Richmond Media
16 June 2024
Richmond VFL fell to Box Hill on their home deck by 37 points.
In a contest that coach Steve Morris described as “frustrating”, the inaccurate Tigers fell to Box Hill by 37 points, 6.14 (50) to 13.9 (87).
Led by strong performances from Kaleb Smith (20 disposals and six marks) and Sam Banks (20 disposals and nine marks), the Tigers recorded six more inside-50s and nine more clearances than the visitors on the day.
However, typified by the 14 behinds that came from their 20 scores, the Tigers struggled to translate their strong passages into scoreboard nourishment.
In the opening term, the hosts were held goalless, and trailed by 22 points at the first break.
In the second term, Tom McCarthy (19 disposals, five marks and four clearances), Joel Garner (19 disposals, four marks, three tackles and seven clearances) and Lachlan Wilson (16 disposals, three tackles and nine clearances) were instrumental out of the midfield as the Tigers started to gain some reward on the scoreboard.
The Tigers kicked back-to-back majors in the quarter, however, a costly turnover on the stroke of half-time saw the visitors capitalise and take a handy 23-point lead into the main break.
Scoring got underway in the third quarter through the returning Austin Johnson who kicked the all-important first goal of the second half.
Johnson’s major was one of only two of the quarter for the Tigers, as their inaccuracy of was starting to hurt them.
Midway through the third term, the Tigers had more scoring shots for 3.10, as opposed to the visitors’ 7.5.
Box Hill took advantage of the hosts’ wayward kicking in front of goal to convert back-to-back majors and extend the margin to a game-high 26 points.
A positive for the Tigers was the performance of AFL-listed mid-season recruit Jacob Blight.
The intercept-defender was outstanding in the defensive half, finishing with 18 disposals and eight marks.
Late in the quarter, his mid-season counterpart Campbell Gray (12 disposals, five marks, nine hit-outs and one goal) converted his first goal of the afternoon to cut the lead down to 19.
However, like many instances throughout the contest, the clinical visitors responded.
A 25-point three-quarter-time deficit was inflated to as large as 42 points in the final term.
Box Hill made the most of their chances in front of goal to see out a convincing victory, unlike the inaccurate Tigers, whose goalkicking woes carried into the final term.
Richmond will now enter their second bye-round of the season with a six-and-five record.
Post-bye, their next challenge will be against Carlton on Sunday, June 30 at the Swinburne Centre.
Richmond 0.4 2.6 4.11 6.14 (50)
Box Hill 4.2 6.5 9.6 13.9 (87)
Goalkickers: George, Gray, Green, Johnson, Bauer, Collier
Best: Blight, Smith, Banks, McCarthy, Garner, Wilson, Hayes-Brown

https://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/1581402/vfl-report-round-12
Sam Banks (20 disposals, nine marks, five inside-50s, seven rebound-50s)
“Sam was probably one of our standout players on the ground in his three-quarters of game time. I thought he provided a lot of run and carry for us on the day.”
Kaleb Smith (20 disposals, six marks, seven rebound-50s)
“Really pleased with Kaleb's game once again. I thought his starting points were good, and he continued to win contests throughout the day in another good display from him.”
Joel Garner (19 disposals, four marks, three tackles, seven clearances, six inside-50s)
“Joel was once again our inside bull. He really stood up and was a big reason as to why we were able to win clearance.”
Tom McCarthy (19 disposals, five marks, four clearances, four inside-50s)
“Tom has been in really good form throughout the season, and once again accumulated the ball well on the weekend and had a good influence on the game.”
Jacob Blight (18 disposals, eight marks, four rebound-50s)
“Jacob was a wall down back for us. I thought he gave us an opportunity to win the game by really reducing the impact of their tall forwards. He took a number of intercept marks, and his defence was really solid on the day.”
Lachlan Wilson (16 disposals, 11 contested possessions, three tackles, nine clearances)
“Lachlan teamed up with Joel (Garner) in the midfield and had a number of clearances for us on the day. He continued on his good form.”
Nick Guiney (14 disposals, four marks, two rebound-50s, two inside-50s)
“After a week off due to soreness, Nick came back into the side and played a little bit on the wing and down back. He was solid as usual.”
Oliver Hayes-Brown (14 disposals, 14 contested possessions, seven clearances, 26 hit-outs)
“Yet another step forward for Ollie in just his second game at VFL level. He had 26 hit-outs and his work around the ground I think most would have been really impressed with over his first two games.”
Liam George (12 disposals, six marks, one goal)
“I thought he looked like one of our more dangerous small forwards on the day. He makes good decisions and I thought the weekend was no different. He's in really good form and looking for him to have a huge impact in the second half of the year now that he's comfortable at this level.”
James Trezise (12 disposals, three marks, three rebound-50s)
“Whilst James didn't have huge numbers on the stats sheet, I thought he was hugely influential. He's in some sensational form. He’s really clean when he gets his opportunity to handle the football and he's in a really good spot should any opportunity present itself in the near future.”
Harry Scott (12 disposals, three tackles, three inside-50s)
“Harry is a young player early on in his career, and it's a big ask to play senior footy in the midfield at such a young age, but he's going to be in a really good spot having had this experience playing against seasoned AFL players.”
Campbell Gray (12 disposals, five marks, threw tackles, three inside-50s, nine hit-outs, one goal)
“He looks big and strong ahead of the footy. He provided a contest for us ahead of the footy and followed up really well at ground level on the day.”
Sam Davidson (11 disposals, three marks, five tackles, three inside-50s)
“I thought Sam once again could have had a huge influence on the match. Unfortunately, he just didn't finish off his work on the day, but I thought he got to good spots and continued to fight and show up throughout the day.”
Austin Johnson (11 disposals, three marks, one goal)
“I think it was a good starting point for Austin. He's been out for the best part of a month due to concussion protocols, and I think Saturday’s game should hold him in good stead moving forward as we approach a really important time of the year for us.”
Mohammed Yassine (10 disposals, four contested possessions, three inside-50s)
“Loving what Mohammed is doing defensively at the moment. He really does buy-in and makes us better defensively. I think having missed so much footy, he's probably just lacking some offensive polish, which is usually a real highlight of his game and I'm sure that'll come in the near future.”
Nicholas Collier (10 disposals, four contested possessions, one goal)
“Once again, I thought he played his role reasonably well on the day and it was nice to see him hit the scoreboard.”
Thomas Brindley (nine disposals, three inside-50s, two marks)
“I thought he was pretty solid down back. He had his work cut out down there on Box Hill’s tall forwards, but I think he can hold his head high.”
Steely Green (nine disposals, four inside-50s, one goal)
“Steely is one of those players that we've got really high hopes for, and whilst we continue to see some really great team-first acts that I'm really proud of Steely for, I’m just looking for him to have a little bit bigger of an impact on VFL footy.”
Ry Cantwell (seven disposals, three contested possessions, two inside-50s)
“I think we're continuing to see some real shining passages of play from Ry. Hopefully, his consistency can improve as he plays each game and he can have an even bigger influence.”
Jacob Bauer (seven disposals, four contested possessions, one goal)
“Jacob started down back and probably by his own admission, didn't start the way he would have liked. He went forward in the second half of the game, and I thought he looked really dangerous ahead of the footy and finished beautifully to hit the scoreboard.”
Josh Pollocks (five disposals, three contested possessions, two marks)
“Josh did a great job to get up for the game because he was really sore going into the game, and we really needed his presence as a key forward. I think he added some really important contests early in the game for us to bring the ball to ground and give our small forwards a chance to hit the scoreboard.”
Cam Olden (five disposals, three contested possessions, two marks)
“Cam just didn't have the influence that we know he can have on the game. He continued to try throughout the day, but potentially, we’ve got to look at a change in role to get him really clicking into gear because he's an important player for us.”
Matthew Coulthard (three disposals, two marks, one tackle)
“Much like Steely (Green), Matthew is a player that we've got high hopes for and probably looking for him to influence VFL footy at a much greater level than he did on the weekend. He played up forward and on a wing, but just struggled to really reach the heights that we know he is capable of.”

Jacob Bauer (seven disposals, four contested possessions, one goal)
“Jacob started down back and probably by his own admission, didn't start the way he would have liked. He went forward in the second half of the game, and I thought he looked really dangerous ahead of the footy and finished beautifully to hit the scoreboard.”
Really wish they'd make up their mind regarding where they want Bauer to play. Personally think he is a better forward. But every week he seems to start down back, then gets plonked forward when things aren't going well
Good to read that Harry Scott is progressing nicely...
