All emergencies playing but one will only play a half before heading to the 'G.

Scrappy start.

Cameraman doesn't have a zoom.

Clarke's ping is touched on the line for the first score.

Lefau marks in the centre and gets 50 for an off the ball free. Set shot from 40 misses badly though  :P.

We get it back and Fawcett marks 40 out. And he kicks it off the side of the boot too  :P.

We get it back again via Gray's intercept and pass to Bauer 25m out. Finally, a straight kick for a goal  :gotigers.

Edit: Beat me too it pmac  :thumbsup.

Not as a specific drill. Usually just a few shots at the end of training by some of the forwards.

Many AFL clubs don't take goalkicking seriously and it costs them. Us last week obviously (we're one of the worst) and Brisbane last night.

For all the tactics trying to find that 'edge', goalkicking is the obvious area that needs improvement. It needs to be treated professionally with time allocated at training as well as focusing on proper technique.

Scott inside 50 and Fawcett pushed out gets the free 35 out on a 60 degree angle. Shanks it again off the side of the boot  :help. It's a technique problem when you keep dropping the ball onto the outside of your boot.

Half-time

Richmond   3.7    5.9-39
Sydney       0.1    5.3-33

Goals: Alger 2, Bauer, Clarke, Fawcett.

Pathetic last time 10 mins but when we collectively have poor goalkicking and tackling technique  :banghead we only have ourselves to blame that the game wasn't put away in the first 45 mins.

And we're down to just two on the bench with Gray and Clarke both off the ground injured  :( and Trezise likely now being the 24th man for the seniors and won't be playing in the second half.

VFL Tigers tame Swans in a thriller

By Connor Burns
RFC website
7 June 2025


Richmond    3.7    5.9    7.13    8.16    (64)
Sydney        0.1    5.3    7.3      9.5      (59)

Goals: Alger 3, Rioli, Lefau, Fawcett, Clarke, Bauer

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

After a blistering first quarter by the Richmond VFL side, Sydney mounted a comeback, but it was the Tigers who clawed onto a five-point lead to win a thriller on Saturday.

On a wet and soggy day out at Beaconsfield, it was the Tigers who got off to a fast start, kicking three quick goals to gain the early ascendancy. Richmond continued to dominate time in forward half, with 18 inside 50’s to six for the quarter, but for all its control, it was wasteful in front of the big sticks, kicking 3.7 to 0.1 in the first quarter, to lead by 24 points at the first break.

As the second term commenced the Tigers continued to dominate inside-50s, with young forward Liam Fawcett providing a major focal point in the front end. He kicked an early goal to push the margin beyond five goals.

Matt Lloyd then responded for Sydney with back-to-back goals, which included an awarded free kick after the first major, bringing the margin back to three goals despite all of the Richmond’s dominance.

Sydney finished the quarter with all of the running, kicking late goals through Jesse Dattoli and Will Green to cut the margin to just six points at the main break.

Maurice Rioli kicked his first goal of the game after half-time, giving the Tigers some much-needed breathing room.

But the Swans responded with an instant reply through Ned Bowman, on the back of a disastrous turnover for the Tigers.

The game was a stalemate for a large part of the quarter with the Swans flooding numbers back and holding up defensively. But Jasper Alger produced a bit of magic with a set shot from the boundary to get the scoring flowing again.

As Sydney had done for most of the game, they responded straight away with a mark and goal to Harrison Podmore-Taylor to keep the game within reach for the Swans.

With a quarter to play the Tigers held a 10-point advantage, before Mykelti Lefau kicked his first goal of the game early in the last, followed by Bowman’s second for Sydney, as the arm-wrestle continued.

The Tigers barely scored for the rest of the game, as the Swans gained control of forward territory for almost the first time in the match. But late misses leading into the final siren meant Richmond hung on for a gritty five-point win.

Richmond’s VFL captain Lachlan Street took another great step forward after returning from injury, finishing the game with 30 disposals and nine clearances.

Alger also impressed once again with three goals to go along with 14 disposals.

Judson Clarke and Campbell Gray both left the game early with knee injuries.

Blight has been putting his hand up for weeks.

Balta walks up every time.
Broad been ok bar a crap game this week.
Miller been solid.

Dunno why we don't play Blight in the backline and rotate someone else forward or ruck like Balta, maybe Brown forward etc.

Faull needs a rest imo.

Alger has been kicking goals, unlike all of our small fwds besides Campbell. Time to bring him in

Agreed!

I'd bring Blight in too. Find a spot for him.
