Fremantle Dockers weighing up tagging Richmond Tigers midfield Tim Taranto in Gather Round clash
Jackson Barrett
The West Australian
11 April 2025
Fremantle are weighing up giving Richmond’s Tim Taranto extra attention on Sunday in a bid to stop him spearheading their young midfield group.
Taranto — the most experienced member of the Tigers’ on-ball brigade — has had matchups with Brisbane’s Josh Dunkley and St Kilda’s Marcus Windhager across the past two weeks.
Windhager — one of the league’s very few genuine taggers — kept him to 20 disposals.
Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir recognised the importance the 27-year-old has on the Tiger’s midfield ahead of their clash at Barossa Park on Sunday.
“It’s something we will definitely weigh up,” he said.
“We have spoken about that aspect of it already. Him and (Jacob) Hopper do a lot of the heavy lifting in there.
“If we don’t go to (him) we will have some plans around his impact because it has been pretty significant.”
Taranto leads the Tigers for clearances and is their second-highest rated player behind in-form ruckman and skipper Toby Nankervis.
He is also used at a team-high 82 per cent of Richmond’s centre-bounces in a pack that most-often includes Hopper and a mix of young talent including Thomson Dow and Sam Lalor.
Fremantle last week used Jaeger O’Meara to mind Western Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore around stoppages.
Longmuir said he had been impressed by the Tigers sticking in games. Adem Yze’s side stunned Carlton in round one, but have since lost to Port Adelaide, St Kilda and Brisbane.
“They have been in a lot of games and I think sometimes the scoreboard isn’t a reflection of how competitive they’ve been,” Longmuir said.
“I think they set the ground up really well, I think their contest work — off the back of Nank and some of their mature mids — is really solid and some of their young talent looks really impressive.
“They haven’t taken long to adapt to AFL level. They beat Carlton, they played a really good first half against St Kilda, they never gave up last week against Brisbane, so we are going to have to be at their best.”

Richmond coach Adem Yze says he expects the best from underdone Fremantle ruckman Sean Darcy
Mitchell Woodcock
The West Australian
Sat, 12 April 2025
Richmond coach Adem Yze is expecting the best of Sean Darcy despite the Fremantle ruckman heading into their Gather Round clash with barely any football under his belt this year.
The Dockers called up Darcy for his first game of 2025, having played only one WAFL game in preparation after knee and ankle injuries hindered his summer.
It comes after Justin Longmuir’s side lost star Luke Jackson for at least the next fortnight because of a hamstring injury he sustained in the win over the Western Bulldogs at the weekend.
Darcy will open his season with a tough task of taking on big Tiger Toby Nankervis, who is in form and was arguably best-on-ground in their season opening win over Carlton.
Yze said there would be no added pressure on Nankervis to perform despite Darcy’s limited preparation as they do battle in the Barossa Valley on Sunday.
“We normally put it on Nank every week to run their ruck ragged but he (Darcy) is a very good player,” he said.
“They wouldn’t be risking their players if they weren’t ready to play so we’re expecting the best of Sean Darcy.
“We just hope the sun is nice and hot tomorrow and we can test their whole team really. They’re quality players that they’ve got in and Nank’s in really good form and it’ll be a great contest.”
Richmond’s young midfield will come up against a powerful outfit in Fremantle who are being well led by an in-form Caleb Serong.
Serong is coming off a season-high 15 clearances and 38 disposals against the Bulldogs to put himself in the frame for the Brownlow Medal.
Yze said he was not only weary of Serong but also Andrew Brayshaw and Hayden Young who would play his first game of the year.
“They’ve got Hayden Young, he dominated against us last year so it’s hard when you try to stop one of them a couple of the others will pop up,” he said.
“We’ll have all those discussions during the game. Whether we start with a tag or we go during the game, but at some stage one of them has got to get some attention.
“They’re great players and we cannot wait.”
The Tigers will also have to contend against a tall Dockers forward line with Jye Amiss, Josh Treacy and Pat Voss all in the line-up.
“We like the height of our forward line. Luke Trainor can play small or tall, Nick Vlastuin can play small and tall and so can Nathan Broad,” he said.
“Brisbane have got a pretty tall forward line and we thought our boys handled themselves really well so we’re not going to change.”

Richmond v Fremantle Preview
Jaiden Sciberras
SEN
12 April 2025
The youthful Tigers have showed plenty of heart at stages in their first four contests.
After claiming a victory nobody thought possible over Carlton, they last put up a performance to be proud of against the Lions with the 90 points the best they've managed since Round 2, 2024.
With the emergence of No.1 pick Sam Lalor (24 disposals, 10 score involvements, four goal assists, two goals), confident performances from youngsters Luke Trainor (19 disposals) and Harry Armstrong (six marks, two goals), Richmond has plenty to look forward to.
The Dockers are back on track in 2025, picking off consecutive wins including a hearty performance against the Bulldogs to climb to the outskirts of the eight. Freo’s talent has started to shine, with Caleb Serong, Josh Treacy and Luke Jackson all firing, although Jackson will miss with a hamstring injury. With former Tiger Shai Bolton fitting in like a glove, Murphy Reid playing like a star on the horizon and the return of Hayden Young, Sean Darcy and Nat Fyfe imminent, coach Justin Longmuir will have stars at his disposal as Freo looks to make a real charge following a staggered start.
Off the back of a respectable showing against the premiers, Richmond will give itself every chance of another scalp at the neutral venue in the Barossa. Adem Yze’s men will take confidence on the road as they look to hijack another four points, but Fremantle has the weapons to put it to bed with relative ease.
Bolton will be a point of interest against his old club, but he and the Dockers will want to kill the contest early. The Tigers will be plucky, but Freo is the safer bet.
Prediction: Fremantle by 45 points.

Think we could be in for a belting today
If we allow Serong and Brayshaw in the middle to do their own thing at stoppages/clearances it will be.
Wishful thinking but I'm hoping the smaller/narrower ground will help us a little bit defensive wise as we don't have a midfield that can spread. Freo's leg speed will cause us probs.
-
Well that was easy ;D.
Centrebounce - Hopper hands to Kmac. Long kick inside 50. Faull contests and brings it to ground. Maurice front and square goals :gotigers.
6 - 0
-
Two ump calls (quick play on call after the mark and then not 15) putting us under pressure in D50 ::).
We get through anyway and Kmac goals on the run from 45 :gotigers
Rich 2.0-12
Freo 1.0-6
-
Well this is the best Rioli has played
-
MRJ again woohoo.
Hope he doesn't go missing. I've been potting him for a while but this is a great start!
-
Quick dumping kick by Taranto inside 50 and Maurice gets to the drop to mark 35 out. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 3.0-18
Freo 1.0-6
-
Downfield free after Hopper is dumped after disposal. Campbell with a set shot from 45. Misses.
19 - 6
-
Trezise horrible. Man he can fumble the ball. Dropped an easy mark then fumbled what, 3 times ?
-
Utter BS there we just got shafted on the play on + 50
-
Clueless ump. Treacy went to play on and the dope pays 50 against us ::).
But it Trezise that cost us that goal.
-
Miller having one of his games that he had every 4 or 5 games where he just completely poos the bed.
Miller just doesn’t watch the ball in flight enough
-
These umps :facepalm. So Ross can be tackled to the ground well after the ball is disposed? ::)
-
Freo turn the ball over to Floss who finds Sonsie on 50. Sonsie from 55 nails it :gotigers
Rich 4.1-25
Freo 3.2-20
-
Who is on Young at stoppages? He's just being left alone goal side :banghead.
-
Ben Miller got towelled up I nte 1st
Looked lost and clueless
And obviously over the shoulder isn't a thing today :help :huh3 :facepalm
-
Quarter time
Richmond 4.2-26
Fremantle 4.4-28
Goals: Rioli 2, McIntosh, Sonsie.
First 10 mins was very good but Freo got on top in the last 10. Our lack of connection exiting D50 and entering F50 is hurting us. We're just giving the ball back to Freo far too easily. Our lack of leg-speed in the midfield is the issue as we already know. The difference in tackling is also standing out as the Dockers are a more mature side.
-
I just think miller is a pretty dumb footballer.
-
Clueless ump. Treacy went to play on and the dope pays 50 against us ::).
But it Trezise that cost us that goal.
Yes he played on
But Miller was stupid mouthing off to the ump

Called Miller, Sonsie :help

Palm by play she is the worst by a mile
She fills a quota that is clearly required by modern day Australia
-
Hopper had to go first option there.
Trezise then left his man out the back when he wasn't impacting the contest anyway.
Soft goal to give away.
-
Too many fumbled. Sonsie a few times today
-
Costly fumble by Sonsie at HF.
When we make errors we are out of position defensively and we just get opened up.
-
Out Miller in anybody else
-
Getting smashed at these long down the line contests.
-
I think I’ve seen enough of sonsie.
-
Lost our heads in the last 10 mins. Stuffing around with the ball and making basic mistakes.
-
Well switching clubs hasn't fixed Bolt's goalkicking.
-
Half time
Richmond 4.2 6.3-39
Fremantle 4.4 7.7-49
Goals: Rioli 2, Lynch, McIntosh, Sonsie, Green.
A repeat of the first qtr. First 10 mins was very good, but we again fall away after that and Freo are on top for the last 10. They should be further in front given the number of inside 50s we are giving them. Whether it's fatigue or inexperience, we lose our shape and connection, make basic errors and are just predictably going wide and down the line. We're playing into Freo's hands. They just haven't made up pay yet on the scoreboard.

I've always said it should always be about the best person for the job. Not quotas
She isn't the best, not even close
I suppose it could be worse, we could have her teamed with Dwayne Russell. Then we'd have the 2 worst going around
-
Still pleased with what I'm seeing.
Yes last 10 mins of each qtr we've coughed the ball up with poor errors and decisions but still there's so many positives
We've got some great kids coming through.

We'll see how the lack of experience plays out in the premiership quarter.
-
Have to feel for Big Tom, leads up,gets ignored time and time again
Yep. Our F50 entries have been bloody ordinary.
-
Don’t know if we are just tired now, but we look so incredibly flat.

Geez Hopper looks lazy
-
Geez Hopper looks lazy
Easily been one of our best today ::)

Umps started this qtr on fire
Gifting Freo some very soft frees now
-
Geez Hopper looks lazy
Easily been one of our best today ::)
Still looks laxy
-
Geez Hopper looks lazy
Easily been one of our best today ::)
He gets his hands on the ball but just is not very constructive with it.
-
Not good signs to start the 3rd qtr. Too easy for Freo in the contest so far.
-
Why isn't that are free ot MRJ? He was tripped :banghead
-
Maurice clearly tripped from behind and no free ::).
-
Geez Hopper looks lazy
Easily been one of our best today ::)
He gets his hands on the ball but just is not very constructive with it.
Have to agree to disagree, reckon his disposal has been much better today. Certainly times when he should kick rather than handball
-
Not sure what we are doing with Blight. I know we want a 2nd ruck but he's lost playing up the ground and inside 50.
-
Not sure what we are doing with Blight. I know we want a 2nd ruck but he's lost playing up the ground and inside 50.
LOL. So he takes the mark 10m out and goals.
Rich 7.3-45
Freo 10.8.68
-
Not sure what we are doing with Blight. I know we want a 2nd ruck but he's lost playing up the ground and inside 50.
As he kicks a goal from a great kick from Seth
-
Poor Ross. Just wasted that good chance.
And Freo go up the other end for a goal :banghead.
-
stuff me dead I’ve had a gut full of Ben miller
-
Good coaching leaving Miller on Treacy.
Should have been moved after 10mins.
-
Tom Brown looks to have taken the next step this season. Looks a very handy player
-
Good coaching leaving Miller on Treacy.
Should have been moved after 10mins.
Should move Blight onto Treacy and get Bauer subbed on up forward.
-
Just in case anyone is wondering who's on stuff
It's Short not that you'd know:banghead
Miller being shown up for what he is, average against top notch forwards.
Been very poor today
-
Good coaching leaving Miller on Treacy.
Should have been moved after 10mins.
Should move Blight onto Treacy and get Bauer subbed on up forward.
Reckon the only reason they haven't done that is because of the 2nd ruck conundrum
Can't play Blight as a key back and then expect him to 2nd ruck.
I'd be using Blight back and make Miller 2nd ruck off the bench. Can't do much damage from the bench
-
HF stoppage and 5 Tigers left in the honeypot as Freo burst away out the front. We just don't protect the defensive side.
-
Some weak tackling efforts
-
And to think he's wearing No. 12
-
Sub Lynch. He's cooked today
-
Blight miller sonsie banks trezise just very average players.
-
A lot of this year there’s been effort and intent. This game they have lost it
-
The number of mistackles today has been ordinary.
-
Vlastuin should be embarrassed by that "effort"
-
It's ok that we're losing this game and dropping off because we're a young team. Apparently it's ok to not chase, tackle shepherd etc because oh yeah, were young.
-
Kids clearly cooked as the games gone on
Think the intent nad effort (the trying) is there just they've got no more petrol tickets left
-
Some ordinary crap being dished up over the last 35-40m.
Might go vacuum my car....
-
Blight miller sonsie banks trezise just very average players.
Blight's playing his what 7th or 8th game, so reckon he can be cut some slack
The others you listed, agree
Sonsie, who I've defended a fair bit has lost me today. Far too often he stands back when he needs to make a contest
-
3/4 time
Richmond 4.2 6.3 7.3-45
Fremantle 4.4 7.7 13.8-86
Goals: Rioli 2, Lynch, McIntosh, Sonsie, Green, Blight.
Outplayed and outclassed that quarter. Nothing positive to write about. Can we at least dig in in the last qtr like last week against Brisbane or we will fall away and lose by 12 goals like against the Saints?

-
Lynch subbed off for Bauer.
Lynch did a fitness test at 3/4 time apparently. So don't know if there's also an issue.
-
Overpossessing by hand rather than taking the kick as first option. It just brings on the pressure and fumbles.
-
How often we are forced to go long down the line and just get out numbered and outmarked at every contest. That has to be structure

Disagree about there being no positives
Trainor continues to be a positive. Never drops his head that kid
-
Ball travels across two grass cut zone apparently is "not 15" ::).
Greeny you have to kick those. That was a sitter on the run.
-
How often we are forced to go long down the line and just get out numbered and outmarked at every contest. That has to be structure
Yep, agree
But our forward line is so young with the exception of Lynch, so it's no surprise TBBH
-
Underwood just called Bauer, "Jonty" :banghead
-
Blight fwd isn’t working. Bring sims in and he can give bank a chop out
With balta coming back are we gonna see miller in the vfl? He isn’t up to it imo. Dumb player
-
Kelli underwood needs glasses. Would have gotten a player wrong 10+ times and called Faull “fowl”
-
How was that not a free to Campbell? He didn't have the ball.
-
Short stuffen disgraceful today
-
Trezise needs a run in the ressies.
-
Missed some real gettable ones.
Fatigue and the Ceebz setting in.
-
Short stuffen disgraceful today
Agree
That lasted effort was pathetic by a senior player, a bloke in leadership group
-
"No malice"?
You are kidding me Derm
Must be suspended for that
-
MRP will say there's nothing to see here when a Tiger cops a cheap shot high whack ::).
-
The skills have been at an all time low today
-
If Voss doesn't get at least a week for a roundhouse forearm to Vlastuin's nose yet we get 3-4 weeks for rough tackles and attacks on playing the footy we are stuffed.
Weak tough man act that. Not the 80s anymore, have a spell.
-
Final Score
Richmond 4.2 6.3 7.3 7.5-47
Fremantle 4.4 7.7 13.8 16.12-108
Goals: Rioli 2, Lynch, McIntosh, Sonsie, Green, Blight.
Some good signs early but we were out on our feet by midway through the second quarter. Just one goal in last 2.5 quarters is disappointing even for a young team. Aside from a few Tigers, it was mostly bruise free footy as our "tackling" was well below par. Similar to the Saints game where we fell away badly in the second half and the opposition pretty much did what they wanted.
-
Honourable loss today. Nothing to be super proud about but not worthy of being overly critical. I really rate Freo, and think they should be top 6 this year even after a slow start.
Each week goes we learn more about some of the kids, and less senior types.
Hugo was OK, looking forward to a big chunk of games to see him develop to next level.
Jonty is raw and should have nailed that, would be impressive to say our 2 KP draftee 18yos have kicked a goal already by round 6, in a bottom 2 side.
Dow is a whipping boy and still young, but 79m gained with 15 handballs, 11 contested. I guess the bar is low, but I'm unsure thats a role we want to develop, but anyway.
Continue to love Trainors games, going to be a gem. Plays all year.
Hopper, Tim and KMac (I'll harshly call the list clogger crew, as I don't think any of the 3 will be part of our next flag), were OK, can't bag their games. KMac tagged Serong for most of it who influenced only slightly.
Maurice was lively early, he doesn't have the tank for midfield but I'd be intrigued to see how he would go as tagger. His pressure is elite and is opportunistic in F50. Everything else doesn't seem overly AFL standard so I wonder how he'd go tagging some of the smaller mids or even running half backs.
Sonsie and Brown were OK too, so reasonably honourable loss without being super honourable like the loss vs Lions.

Just don’t think he’s a “gun”.

A big win for the Dockers, who dominated territory (inside 50 entries 65-36) through winning clearances (44-33) and generating forward half intercepts (27-11). The better ball movement of Fremantle resulted in a major advantage in points scored from turnovers (70-20).
Fremantle generated 20 of the last 23 scores in this game and kicked 12 of the last 13 goals in a dominant performance after a bright start from Richmond.

RICHMOND
A similar story for the Tigers for the third straight week: Competitive in the first half – and somewhat within striking distance on the scoreboard – then blown away emphatically in the second half. It reeks of a young, rebuilding team developing maturity, both physically and emotionally. After trailing by just 10 points at half-time, Richmond managed one goal in the second half and conceded six unanswered majors in the third term on its way to a 61-point loss.
In the votes
Skipper Toby Nankervis was the best ruck on the ground with 17 touches and five clearances, while Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper worked hard at the coalface. And there were promising signs from the Tigers’ two young defenders, with Luke Trainor and Tom Brown impressing with 22 and 24 touches respectively.
Room for improvement
Coach Adem Yze said the Tigers needed to work on their “mental mastery” after the stark second-half drop-off. On Sunday against Fremantle, it was the fourth straight match that saw Richmond concede six third-quarter goals, so something needs to change for Yze’s side coming out of the half-time break. Meanwhile, Jack Ross had just 12 disposals, while Tom Lynch kicked just one goal from five touches.
