RICHMOND

Indigenous All-Stars squad members:

Maurice Rioli Jnr.

Match simulation details:

Play West Coast on Monday February 17 at 12.30pm (AEDT), Mineral Resources Park (4x30-minute quarters with no time on).

In doubt/won't play:

Josh Smillie (hamstring)
Tom Lynch (concussion) is expected to play against Collingwood in the Community Series as he builds back his loads
Jonty Faull (back)
Judson Clarke (knee)
Tylar Young (knee)
Josh Gibcus (knee)
Mykelti Lefau (knee)
Taj Hotton (knee)

What to look out for:

The new kids.

Few clubs have ever attacked the draft as hard as the Tigers did last November. And the reality is the Tigers will likely have to turn to several of them early in the year to make an impact. No. 1 pick Sam Lalor will play against West Coast in Monday’s match simulation, while the likes of Harry Armstrong, Tom Sims and Luke Trainor should get a good taste against the Eagles and then later the Magpies. Josh Smillie is nursing a minor hamstring strain, and while he may be in a race against time to be fit for practice hit-outs, it seems he will be in the Round 1 selection frame. Despite his interrupted draft year, Lalor has starred on the track at Punt Road, especially since Christmas. Coach Adem Yze told AFL Media: “You look at him and he is a man. He is ready to go.”

Nope, should but they won't

Because it's not a standard game.. they're only playing three 25 minutes "quarters"... unlimited interchanges, can play everyone and determine how they want they game played eg no throw ins,

Personally I'd rather proper praccy games

Expectations should be low coming into the season.  If your a supporter expecting to win many games you'll find it a tough, long year.   
Summarising that quarter just slow ball movement and they did the opposite.  We couldn't keep up.

I went to the game this morning- it was less than 10km away from my house . It was really easy to get to , just walked straight in and found a nice shady embankment opposite the goals .
It was really pleasing to see so much yellow and black walking about in the crowd. We really do have a large supporter base over here in the West .

As for the game itself- it was really uninspiring. Obviously expectations were low with such a young team . I really just wanted to see improvement from the likes of Mansell , Blight and Ross  who according to reports have been “ training the house down “….didn’t see anything of note .
Once West Coast put some speed on the ball , we opened up with minimal resistance.
Typically , even through I had a nice spot behind the goals - the ball was barely in the Richmond forward line and all our goals were kicked at the opposite end .

Lalor is such an impressive size already, will dominate in a couple of years . Everyone’s heart sank when he went down and feared the worse , so relieved he was able walk off .

Tigers outplayed in match sim, Lalor helped off the ground late

By AAP with Dejan Kalinic, AFL Media

WEST COAST          1.0     7.2     10.2 (62)
RICHMOND            1.1     1.1      4.2 (26)

GOALS
West Coast: Brockman 3, Allen 2, Hewett, Long, Petruccelle, Dewar, Owies

Richmond: Lalor 2, Hayes-Brown, Mansell

---------------------------------------------------------

Richmond's No.1 draft pick Sam Lalor has suffered a concussion and been forced off the field after a nasty collision in the dying stages of the pre-season hitout against West Coast.

Lalor appeared to hit his head when he was pushed into Eagles trialist Sandy Brock in a marking contest.

The 18-year-old was assessed by medical staff as he lay on the ground for about one minute before walking off the field.

It was later confirmed that he will enter the AFL's concussion protocols, meaning he will miss the club's AAMI Community Series game against Collingwood next Wednesday.

Richmond's season-opener is against Carlton on March 13.

"He's got a bit of a sore jaw at the moment, so he's currently in concussion (testing) protocols," Richmond head of development Sam Lonergan told reporters.

"We'll just wait and see what that looks like and then hopefully find out pretty quickly over the next 24 hours.

"He was great today. He played a little bit in the midfield and spent some time forward, which was fantastic, and contributed in both areas of the ground."

Earlier, Lalor kicked the Tigers' first goal with a set shot in an even opening period of three at Mineral Resources Park in Perth on Monday.

But it was all West Coast after that as Tyler Brockman booted three goals in a comfortable 10.2 (62) to 4.2 (26) victory for the home side.

Tyrell Dewar almost pulled in a spectacular mark on an opponent's shoulders and provided a highlight with a superb goal on the run from 50 metres.

Former Carlton forward Matt Owies kicked his first goal for West Coast, while former Tigers Jack Graham and Liam Baker also lined up in Eagles colours for the first time.

For the Tigers, Jacob Blight – a 23-year-old picked in last year's mid-season draft – showed promising signs behind the ball.

Interesting take...

Ginley didn’t IMHO help his cause when he took his eyes off the ball and shirked the on coming contact he was facing

You're probably right, he'll get off doesn't make what he did right. As others have mentioned it is causing serious injuries

I thought Dow was our best player by a country mile. Not sure that's a good or bad thing. There were a few that were very disappointing on the day. Having said that, it's a practice match in WA. The result means nothing. In regards to Ginby, I have been concerned about these type of actions for a while. Darcy Moore similar dog acts. They need to be reportable and reviewed by the match review panel weekly. Ginby was trying to make his presence felt all game which is fine. But to push an opponent into a dangerous situation is not on in my view...

Dow was no where near it imo.

I fear the for group around his age (Dow, banks, sonesie, gibcus, brown, smith, green) none of them have really shown anything of substance yet, just very small glimpses. They would want to start coming on this season

I hate the push player into the contest. It is as gutless as. Hawkins has done it for years and injured players. Soldo knee injury. It's just dangerous. Will say Rance was a bit of a culprit too to be impartial. It's so weak and I hate seeing it. Ginbey didn't mean for Lalor jaw to be broken but was still cowardly and hugely reckless. Id rather non footy acta like this be outlawed then the bump. Yet we see guys get 3 weeks for a rough tackle but turn a blind eye on a coward pushing another player into oncoming body traffic. It happens enough to be an issue. Give him weeks and stamp it out.

What we learned:

The Tigers’ unofficial start to 2025 could have gone better than a six-goal defeat to West Coast across three periods of play, and it certainly could have gone without a worrying head knock to number one draft pick Sam Lalor in the dying stages of their match at Mineral Resources Park.

The emerging star has officially entered concussion protocols, after needing assistance to the field reporting a sore jaw.

In the words of caller Adam Papalia on Kayo throughout the match, the 18-year-old had “done some impressive things, without dominating,” across the 75-minute match.

“He just looks like him (Martin)! I reckon if he plays anything like Dusty, Richmond fans will be very, very happy,” premiership Eagle Will Schofield added.

Lalor kicked two of Richmond’s four goals for the morning, evidently having a positive impact on the young group.

Admittedly, the Tigers were missing a plethora of senior players, with the likes of Tim Taranto, Tom Lynch, Jacob Hopper, Toby Nankervis, and Nick Vlastuin all staying behind in Melbourne.

Tigers fans will also be sweating on the fitness of young gun Hugo Ralphsmith, who left the field of play during the second period holding his hamstring.

Beyond the injuries and absentees, Category B ruck Oliver Hayes-Brown made his presence felt with a goal, and looks to have improved notably since signing with the club in September of 2023.

Additionally, Seth Campbell ran through the midfield at times in a potential indicator of more time on-ball in 2025.

Next week’s clash with the Magpies will hopefully give further exposure to all the young talent at Punt Road after Monday’s hit out.

Are we the only team in history who cannot get a player back within 21 for a hamstring strain?  Even a 22 year old Hugo?

having watched the replay of how Hugo did his hammy I'd be surprised if it is a straight forward hammy strain ..didn't do it running in a straight line, seemed to be off balance, trying to change direction

Wouldn't be at all surprised if it is a bad tear

It’s not the end of the world, who knows, it might set up for someone like Seth Campbell to claim a stake in that position

Seth is yet to step up on a consistent basis. We shouldn't be relying him. I think McIntosh covers until Hugo returns.

Mate, we’re going to finish last. Why on earth would you play a 31 year old defender of space on a wing when the last 2 premiership side use that position to play their most creative offensive options?
