Don't get too excited just yet folks
Going by the Club’s "Game Day Hub" we can't go and watch as gates at Marvel don't open until to 1.45pm
I am trying to get some clarification
-
Gates 5, 8 & 9 open from 11am for the VFL curtain-raiser.
All other gates open at 1.45pm.

Not a great start. Dogs on the spread allowed to take uncontested marks. First goal to them.

Can we learn to tackle properly? Either we don't pin the arm or we go high! :banghead

George finds Bauer 45 out by the boundary line. Goes to the goalsquare and knocked over the boundary. Dogs clear.

Richmond 2.1-13

Goals: Fawcett, Raso.
Had the better of the first 20 mins winning the centre clearances and with the play in our forward half but didn't put it on the scoreboard. Doesn't help when the umps deny us two inside 50 marks >:(. Coughed up two goals in red time and that's why we are behind.
No Hotton as yet.

Sums up the game so far. We blow two good chances and the Dogs run it down into an open forward line for a soft goal :banghead.

Half-time
Richmond 2.1 4.5-29
Footscray 3.2 4.4-28
Goals: Fawcett 2, Lefau, Raso.
Another quarter we had the ball mostly in our forward half. Almost twice as many inside 50s but haven't made the most of it. We should be 3-4 goals up. No real standouts from our AFL-listed players. Blight solid down back. Better players have been our VFL listers.
Hotton on managed minutes. Looked promising at HF when he came onto the ground that quarter. Assist for Lefau's goal.

Our whole vfl lacks class. No one has nice disposal apart from Hotton atm
Yet we have too many lazily trying the low % millionaire stuff this quarter. It's all attitude. Not willing to do the bread & butter stuff with and without the ball..

Another goal to them.
31 - 50
Disgraceful 'effort' since HT.

That's not a free. Not OHB's fault he's big. Would've been a set shot.

Hotton so clean below the knees, had 3 or 4 really difficult pick ups made them look easy

Disgraceful quarter. Lazy workrate and too causal decision making. Skill level and tackling technique worst than Auskick level ::). Dogs could easily be 6-7 goals up. Scoreboard that quarter flatters us.

OHB with two hospital handballs this quarter setting up teammates :help.

Too many spuds

McKenzie on the run from 50 misses OOTF :P.
He is rubbish

Another poor handball by OHB and the Dogs run it down for another goal.
39 - 77
-
OHB with two hospital handballs this quarter setting up teammates :help.
He is horrible. Need another full ruck this off season
-
One team pins the arm in the tackle (Dogs) and the other (us) doesn't. We are ones of the worst tackling teams at both levels. Need to get a decent tackling coach down to Punt Rd who will teach us proper tackling technique.
-
OHB with two hospital handballs this quarter setting up teammates :help.
He is horrible. Need another full ruck this off season
OHB alright in the ruck. He's been okay so far this year. Needs to stick to playing within his limitations. Like many of his teammates today has been below par.
Colina on the hand is a totally useless. Why is he even getting a game?
-
Consolation goal to Street. He's been our best today from an ordinary batch.

Bauer been bad too. Some of the worst body language I’ve ever seen as well

Bauer been bad too. Some of the worst body language I’ve ever seen as well
Yep.
Has had plenty of teammates in the same boat since half-time.
Margin now out to 44 points: 45 - 89

Colina has done his right shoulder. In a lot of pain. Aided off by a trainer.

Knows his days are numbered

Days also numbered. Dud.

Siren puts us out of our misery. From leading at half-time to the Dogs doubling our score by the end :help.
Final Score
Richmond 2.1 4.5 5.9 6.9-45
Footscray 3.2 4.4 8.9 13.12-90
Goals: Fawcett 2, Lefau, Raso, George, Street.
Had the better of the first half in general play but failed to put it on the scoreboard. Connection (or rather lack of it) between mids and forwards was terrible all game.
Second half was one of the worst displays of footy you'll ever see. Soft and casual with sub-Auskick level skills, tackling and decision-making. Overall, just pathetic! :banghead
Only positive was Hotton's cameos when he came onto the ground. Blight the only other AFL-lister who could hold his head up high. Whatever happens in the AFL game later today, there's little pressure for spots coming from below based on today's so-called 'effort'.

Richmond VFL outclassed by formidable Footscray
By Connor Burns
RFC website
22 June 2025
After a promising first half by Richmond's VFL side, Footscray kicked nine second half goals to overrun its opposition and win by 45 points.
It was a hot start to the game with both teams putting on fierce pressure, as Footscray got off to the perfect start with a goal to Caleb Poulter.
The Tigers then dialled up the heat and locked the ball inside 50, with Liam Fawcett the beneficiary of that as he slotted a nice goal.
Minutes later Massimo Raso found space inside 50, pulling down a nice grab before casually slotting his first goal of the afternoon.
But as the quarter neared its end, the Bulldogs kicked two quick goals through Lachie Jaques and Poulter again, giving Footscray a seven-point lead at quarter-time.
Richmond continued to own territory and inside-50s in the second quarter, but failed to get reward with multiple missed shots and turnovers.
Late in the first half the Tigers led the inside-50 count 30-16, before finally some reward for their efforts late in the term, with goals to Mykelti Lefau and Fawcett. The late burst allowed Richmond VFL to get their noses in front at the main break, leading by just one point.
Footscray responded brilliantly after the break with a goal in the first minute of the quarter to take the lead back. That sparked a dominant quarter, as it was the Doggies turn to control inside-50's, resulting in three consecutive goals.
Liam George stemmed the flow, kicking a much-needed goal for Richmond after roving the ball off the pack, then selling candy before finishing with a classy goal.
But a late goal to Footscray’s Xavier Kardachi gave his side control and an 18-point lead with a quarter to play.
Things continued to get better for the Doggies with back-to-back goals from Will Lewis to start the last quarter blowing the margin out to beyond 30 points. They continued to ride their momentum and finished strongly, kicking nine goals to the Tigers' two after half-time to run out 45-point winners.
Richmond 2.1 4.5 5.9 6.9 (45)
Footscray 3.2 4.4 8.9 13.12 (90)
Goals: Fawcett 2, Street, Raso, Lefau, George

Player by player VFL report: Round 13
The Richmond VFL side suffered a 45-point loss against Footscray last Sunday afternoon at Marvel Stadium. Here’s how coach Jake Batchelor assessed the performance of each player.
Jacob Blight (27 disposals, 14 marks, 12 intercept possessions)
“Really strong game again, five contested marks, 12 intercept possessions. He is doing it from really strong defensive positions and his ball use is becoming extremely consistent.”
Tylar Young (23 disposals, 10 intercept possessions, nine marks)
“A really strong game playing as a medium defender at the moment, his ability to win contest and drive his legs has been really noticeable and to win the ball back 10 times, really pleased with that.”
Jacob Koschitzke (17 disposals, nine intercept possessions, six marks)
“Strong game, he intercepted the ball really well for us. There are a couple of opportunities to just squeeze back up the ground and be a bit more assertive with his positioning. His aerial power was really strong.”
James Trezise (16 disposals, four marks, two tackles)
“Got involved in the play a bit, a bit of stuff to work on with defensive positioning but his contest work is really strong. His ability to step through tackles and drive his legs is becoming a real weapon.”
Taj Hotton (14 disposals, three marks, two tackles)
“Great to see him out there, he showcased his strengths, his flair, his evasiveness around the contest, so awesome to see him get through.”
Maurice Rioli (13 disposals, seven tackles, four clearances)
“Provided elite pressure throughout the day, had seven tackles, nine contested possessions, and was really lively and alert on defence for us. He gave us a great look ahead of the ball.”
Jacob Bauer (eight disposals, five marks, three behinds)
“He competed strongly in the air against some really powerful key-defenders from the Dogs, not quite his day with finishing his work but put himself in really strong positions to impact.”
Mykelti Lefau (seven disposals, four tackles, one goal)
“Elite pressure particularly in the forward 50, he really set the scene for us, his aerial power was strong and his alertness on defence was great. It looked like he took a really big step forward.”
Oliver Hayes-Brown (seven disposals, 24 hit-outs, three clearances)
“Had a good battle in the ruck, had some really good moments for us. An opportunity to keep spending time with the ball and drive his legs around the contest, but he’s improving.”
Liam Fawcett (four disposals, one mark, two goals)
“Quieter game, he continued to present himself and put himself under high balls going inside-50, which is all we ask for.”
Mate Colina (two disposals, 14 hit-outs, one tackle)
“A pretty quiet game, he ran really hard and worked really hard for us. He competed in the contest, unfortunately he hurt his shoulder in the last quarter.”
