We have the breeze and we are set up with an almost empty forward line :facepalm. Every kick inside 50 so far has gone straight to Williamstown defenders.
-
Pollocks takes the contested mark 20m out and the ump pulls out an imaginary free to Willy ::).
-
We are playing so dumb :facepalm.
-
This has to be the dumbest quarter by a team with a strong breeze I have ever seen :help.
-
These umps aren't any better. Another imaginary free :facepalm.
-
Wilson quick kick inside 50 and Bauer slides to take the mark. Goal! :gotigers
Finally, after wasting the first 20 mins.
Rich 1.0-6
Will 0.1-1
23 min Q1

Umps wearing Willy jumpers ::).

RCD playing for Willy. Gets caught. Guiney hits up Bauer who gets 50. Shot after the siren. Goal! :gotigers
Quarter time
Richmond 2.0-12
Williamstown 0.1-1
Goals: Bauer 2.
Going to have to defend well in the 2nd qtr. Wasted the first 20 mins with the breeze in the first :thumbsdown.

Goal to Willy. Terrible defending after a dropped mark.
12 - 13
-
Harsh deliberate paid against us.
Terrible defending again. Allowed their ruckman to take an uncontested mark 20 out.
12 - 19
-
Frees: 8 - 14 ::)
Surely that’s not correct. Regardless of which side it’s in favour of, 22 free kicks in just over a quarter of footy is insane.
-
Frees: 9 - 17
-
Another goal to Willy after another deliberate OOB call ::).
Mind you having no one on the goal line to allow the shot to float through was pathetic :facepalm. Heads not in the game tonight.
12 - 28
-
Frees this qtr: 1 - 8 ::)
-
stuffen cheating idiots
-
Ah commentators - the disastrous quarter was the first when we wasted the breeze.
12 - 30
-
This is a typical Point Gellibrand Oval game where the visiting team is totally clueless in how to play the ground.
-
Half-time
Richmond 2.0 2.0-12
Williamstown 0.1 4.7-31
Goals: Bauer 2.
Made to pay for our cluelessness in the first quarter with the breeze. Will we learn anything in the 3rd?
-
Stats to HT:
Jagga Smith 17 disposals ..... underage first gamer yet to be drafted is our leading ballwinner.
An indictment on his senior more experienced and potentially future teammates.

We get it back inside 50. Pollocks misses as well.
15 - 31
-
Willy player drops the ball which isn't paid HTB and then the blue muppet pays a free to Willy for holding ::).
-
We are as dumb tonight as the umps :facepalm. How thick do you need to be to be playing behind in defence when the ball is being kicked into the breeze. Ball of course drops short and Willy player takes the mark and goal :banghead.
15 - 37
Didn't turn up to play tonight. Heads somewhere else.
-
Halfway through the quarter kicking with the breeze and still haven't kicked a goal :facepalm.
16 - 37
-
Wilson from the boundary also misses. That's 5 straight behinds this qtr.
17 - 37
-
Only way we looked like kicking a goal. Pure blind luck!
Yassine goes long from the wing and it goes through everyone and bounces through for a goal.
Rich 3.5-23
Will 5.7-37
27 min Q3
-
Free to Bauer 55m out. Goes for it on the breeze and kicks it OOTF :P.
-
Free to Olden off the ruck contest 35 out. Misses.
24 - 37

Umps wearing Willy jumpers ::).
Would be the first time that’s ever happened

3/4 time
Richmond 2.0 2.0 3.6-24
Williamstown 0.1 4.7 5.7-37
Goals: Bauer 2, Yassine.
Another useless and clueless quarter tonight: 1 goal 6 behinds and one OOTF :banghead. Just 3 goals in total for a half of footy with the breeze :facepalm.

Umpire #2 pays Willy every soft free yet won't pay us one ::).

Olden has his head almost ripped off in front of the sticks and yet no free ::).
-
Wilson finds Olden 25 out. Kicking into the breeze. Gets it :o. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 4.6-30
Will 5.8-38
8 min Q4
-
And we then allow Willy to waltz inside 50 from the centre clearance and get a soft goal without laying a glove on them :facepalm.
30 - 44
-
Too late but where was this urgency and ball use in the first 3 quarters especially when we had the breeze twice?
-
And that's the sealer for Willy.
30 - 51
-
Lost by 22 pts.
Final Score
Richmond 2.0 2.0 3.6 5.6-36
Williamstown 0.1 4.7 5.7 8.10-58
Goals: Bauer 2, Yassine, Olden, Pollocks
-
Can Bauer get a game in the 1sts please?
-
How did Jagga go?
-
How did Jagga go?
400 possessions and a squillion clearances as an infant
One would think a pretty handy first up crack
-
How did Jagga go?
31 disposals 😉
-
What was the final free kick count? 44 total up to 3 quarter time is an absurd number. Seems like the umps couldn’t wait to blow the whistle and get some tv time for themselves.
-
Williamstown are 7th
I love the idea Jagga is in our VFL program, let him train with them if he keeps getting 30 touches he picks himself as pick 1 I think.
-
How did Jagga go?
31 disposals 😉
Only 35% DE but undestandable given the conditions I guess.... :shh

VFL Tigers defeated by Williamstown
By Zakariya El-Houli
Richmond Media
20 July 2024
Richmond’s three-game winning streak has grinded to a halt after it fell to the Seagulls by 22 points in wet and windy conditions at DSV Stadium on Saturday night, 8.10 (58) to 5.6 (36).
Courtesy of the conditions, the first goal of the night came twenty-one minutes into the first quarter through Tiger Jacob Bauer.
He then converted on the quarter-time siren to make it two goals in the quarter.
After his three-goal haul in Richmond’s most previous win against the Suns, he was potent again on Saturday night, finishing with 13 disposals and two marks to go along with his two goals.
The Tigers established an 11-point quarter-time lead off the back of impressive work from Joel Garner (27 disposals, seven tackles, seven hit-outs, five clearances), Nick Guiney (17 disposals, three marks, three tackles), and Cam Olden (17 disposals, 11 tackles, four clearances, one goal).
Impressively, seven of Olden’s 11 tackles came in the opening term.
As the rain started to pour heavily in the second term, the Tigers were held to a scoreless quarter, and registered just one inside-50.
The Seagulls kicked their first goal of the night five minutes into the quarter, and three more goals followed courtesy of their 29 forward entries.
Off the back of Williamstown’s’ forward-50 and territory dominance in the quarter, and Richmond’s lack-of-it, the hosts booted four goals from 10 scoring shots to establish a 19-point half-time lead.
A positive for the Tigers was the performance of 18-year-old Jagga Smith. Smith was strong in his VFL debut, finishing with 31 disposals, five marks and eight clearances.
The Seagulls kicked the first goal of the second half through 2023 Jim ‘Frosty’ Miller Medallist Brodie McLaughlin to establish a game-high 22-point lead.
Despite having seven shots on goal in the quarter, the Tigers failed to make the most of their opportunities and only converted once through Mohammad Yassine.
Yassine (six disposals, one tackle, one goal) kicked the first goal for the Tigers since the quarter-time siren from more than 50-metres out.
For all of Williamstown’s dominance, the Tigers had cut down the margin to just 14 points on the eve of three-quarter-time.
The Tigers came out of the blocks strong early in the fourth quarter and converted the first goal of the term through Olden to cut the margin down to eight points.
However, Richmond’s celebrations were cut short as Williamstown’s instant response pushed the margin back out to 14 points.
Then, two goals in as many minutes from the hosts extended the margin out to a game-high 27 points, shutting out any chance of a Richmond comeback.
In the end, the Tigers couldn’t capitalise on their momentum early in the fourth quarter, and were handed a 22-point loss, their sixth of the season.
As a result, Richmond have dropped to eighth on the 2024 VFL ladder.
The Tigers look ahead to their next challenge against arch-rival Collingwood in a double header at the Swinburne Centre next Sunday, July 28 from 10:05am.
Williamstown 0.1 4.7 5.7 8.10 (58)
Richmond 2.0 2.0 3.6 5.6 (36)
Goalkickers: Bauer (2), Yassine, Pollocks, Olden
Best: Wilson, Smith, Garner, Olden, Guiney, El Nour, Bauer

Ever been to a game at Willy on a windy day?
Blows a gale like no other .. resulting in a lot of play in one quarter of the ground .. makes it extremely congested with a ton of stoppages etc
Teams will very rarely touch the dead side of the ground
This situation results in far more free kicks than normal

Correct Damo
I didn't go but just watching the feed you could see the howling gale right to left on the screen.
And have to add, the ground lighting was poor. I know it was VFL not AFL but it was sub standard
-
If anything that's probably a below average free kick count for a match at Willy on a wet & windy day.... :shh

VFL Report: Round 17
Richmond VFL coach Steve Morris provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Saturday’s loss to Williamstown at DSV Stadium.
Jagga Smith (31 disposals, 18 contested possessions, five marks, six rebound-50s, three inside-50s, three tackles, eight clearances)
“It was his first game at the level, and he certainly did not look out of place. He amassed 18 contested possessions from his 31 disposals on the night and had eight clearances. It was a tough game to mark him on, but a great start in Richmond colours.”
Lachlan Wilson (30 disposals, 20 contested possessions, three marks, three rebound-50s five inside-50s, 17 tackles, 13 clearances)
“Lachy had 30 disposals, 13 clearances, and 17 tackles. He gave absolutely everything inside the contest and that's what we've come to expect from Lachy. So far, he's having an outstanding season.”
Joel Garner (26 disposals, 18 contested possessions, six inside-50s, seven tackles, five clearances, seven hit-outs)
“Joel gave his all in both the ruck and in the midfield. He battled away hard in horrible conditions, and I felt as though his leadership was really important.”
Cam Olden (19 disposals, three marks, 11 tackles, five clearances, one goal)
“Cam was able to get a couple of scoring opportunities and battled away in the midfield all night on what was a tough night.”
Tom McCarthy (17 disposals, four marks, five inside-50s)
“I thought he had some really important moments down back. He's really building in this area and will continue to do so over the coming weeks.”
Mutaz El Nour (16 disposals, eight contested possessions, three marks, six rebound-50s, five tackles)
“Once again, I thought Mutaz had a really solid contribution on the night. He's such an important part of our team and he's thriving as a leader down back.”
Nick Guiney (16 disposals, 10 contested possessions, three marks, three rebound-50s, five inside-50s, three tackles)
“Nick played a little bit more on the wing on the weekend. We know he can play both down back and on the wing, and he's just such a solid contributor for us.”
Jacob Blight (15 disposals, three marks, eight rebound-50s, four rebound-50s)
“Jacob had some really important moments in the second half in particular. I thought he started a little bit slowly, but built into the match nicely and showed great leadership.”
Matthew Clarkson (15 disposals, three marks, six tackles)
“Matthew played our system really well in defence. He's having a really good month and it's good to see him getting some reward for the effort that he puts into his game.”
Jacob Bauer (14 disposals, five rebound-50s, three inside-50s)
“I thought Jacob was a real focal point for us up forward and finished beautifully on two occasions in front of goals. He was also really important for us down back when we kicked into the strong wind.”
Austin Johnson (12 disposals, five inside-50s, four tackles)
“It was a difficult night for Austin, and he probably didn't have the impact that he has been having over the past couple of weeks. But looking forward to seeing his best footy this week.”
Matthew Coulthard (12 disposals, four marks, four inside-50s)
“It was a tough night for small forwards, but I couldn't question Matty's endeavour and his commitment to the team on the night.”
Thomas Brindley (12 disposals, six contested possessions, four rebound-50s, four hit-outs)
“He started down back and had to go into the ruck in the second half at different stages when Ollie Hayes-Brown went down, which is probably something that we might need to look at in the coming weeks.”
Harry Broderick (nine disposals, six contested possessions, three tackles)
“Harry battled manfully up forward in what was a tough night for small forwards. He's one player that we know can also go down back and help us there as well.”
Ry Cantwell (eight disposals, four contested possessions, two marks)
“I thought we saw Ry’s Speed on show a number of times, and I'm looking forward to seeing that in the coming weeks in better conditions.”
Harrison White (seven disposals, two rebound-50s, three tackles)
“I thought Harry played his role pretty well on the night. It was just not one of those nights that favoured those small forwards much at all.”
Sam Davidson (seven disposals, three inside-50s, six tackles, four hit-outs)
“He's been up for a long time and he probably didn't have his best game on the weekend, but he absolutely tried his backside off and I thought he really offered something in the ruck late in the game when we tried something different.”
Josh Pollocks (six disposals, four contested possessions, two marks, one goal)
“I thought Josh tried hard but he always seemed to be outnumbered in big packs on the night, but he was able to kick a goal and hit the scoreboard.”
Liam George (six disposals, three contested possessions, one mark)
“Liam struggled to get into the match and have any real impact. He was playing in a position that we really struggled to get the ball to, and that hurt his chances to impact the game.”
Mohammad Yassine (six disposals, two inside-50s, one goal)
“Similar to (Liam) George, he was a part of that small forward group that just really struggled to have any meaningful impact on the game. What he did kick is one of the most amazing goals you'd see at this level from about 70 metres out, kicking with the breeze.”
Nicholas Collier (five disposals, three contested possessions, five tackles)
“Nick did all that was asked of him in his running patterns but didn't get the reward that we would have hoped he would get on the night. He still battled away hard with five tackles to try and keep it in our forward half.”
Oliver Hayes-Brown (four disposals, four contested possessions, 18 hit-outs)
“He had a quiet first half for his standards, and I thought Tom Downie got on top. It's a great lesson for him up against an experienced ruckman. Unfortunately, he went down with a head knock just before halftime and played no further part, and has entered concussion protocols, but we're looking forward to having him back after the bye.”
Liam Thomas (one tackle)
“Liam is another one that really struggled to impact the game, both up forward and in the ruck. He’s a developing tall that we know will be better with time.”
