Yet another product of Beverley Hills JFC coming through, with Charlie Thompson in line to debut for Richmond VFL on the weekend. Went through Oakleigh Chargers and had 30 touches in the Young Guns game last Saturday. Tigers coach Craig McRae pleased with his progress.

Not sure yet, Balmy.

The RFC website makes no mention of whether the game will be streamed. Perhaps with the early start and it being Mothers' Day tomorrow it's not being streamed  :-\.

VFL Tigers rise early to eclipse Roos

Richmond VFL coach, Craig McRae asked this question of his players a day before their early morning Mother’s Day game against North Melbourne.

Preparation is key in football, being switched on mentally and having the right mindset is crucial, and sometimes tricky to achieve at 9:35 am on a Sunday.

Well, the VFL Tigers brought a ruthless and relentless mindset to Etihad Stadium which equated to them slamming six unanswered goals in a blistering 19-minute burst in the opening term.

McRae felt that last week’s loss to Footscray was a bit of an 80–20 performance, with the Tigers’ just slightly off and the Bulldogs took full advantage.

Intent and application from the get-go were imperative, and the Tigers displayed a truck-load of both.

Richmond’s trademark pressure strangled the Roos, trapping them in their defensive half and the Tigers pounced and capitalised at nearly every opportunity.

What would have pleased McRae greatly, was the work of the collective to create opportunities.

Budding wingman, James Fletcher’s hustle and harassment lead to Brandon Wood getting the Tigers’ first major of the morning, which really set the tone.

Another to set the tone in the opening term, was the smooth moving Corey Ellis, who’s added a layer of grunt to his game in 2018, which is developing week-on-week.

Ellis extracted the ball from the centre square on four occasions in the first quarter, which went along to helping the Tigers play the game in their half and on their term.

Wood was elusive and dangerous inside forward 50, netting two opening-term majors and causing the Roos plenty of headaches.

Liam Baker obviously had no problem with the early morning start, as he goalled from just inside the arc, which kept the score ticking along.

Anthony Miles was prolific as ever in the opening term, but also found space inside 50 and showcased his effectiveness in front of goal.

His first major looked relatively simple on face value, but the timing and clean hands needed to rove the ball at pace and snap truly should not be underestimated.

Miles was to add another before the quarter was out, along with electric small forwards, Jake Aarts and Tyson Stengle.

Aarts especially, really set the tone with his aggression and class inside 50 and exemplifies all that’s good about Richmond VFL.

The game tightened up in the second term, with scoring not coming as freely as in the first, but the pressure was still fierce.

The Tigers were able to find goals through Noah Balta, Aarts and Shai Bolton, while the Roos kicked two of their own.

Miles continued to rack up the touches, finishing the half with 20 disposals, six clearances, four tackles and two goals.

The third term saw the return of a Richmond goal spree and a trio of majors to Tyson Stengle in an electric burst at the backend of the quarter.

It was trademark Stengle: strong, powerful, elusive and silky, as the prolific goal-kicker showcased the bevy of tricks he has at his disposal.

The Tigers banged home seven goals in the third stanza, which set-up another flurry of goals in the final term.

Richmond made the most of the shortened final term, slotting four goals with Brandon Wood and Shaun Mannagh (two goals) adding to their goal tallies, and Corey Ellis capping off a brilliant game.

Anthony Miles again found himself at the top of the stats sheet, finishing with a game-high 41 disposals, while Brandon Wood (26), debutant Charlie Thompson (25), Liam Baker (24) and Corey Ellis (23) were handy midfield lieutenants.

In front of goal, the Tigers once again shared the load, with Wood slotting a game-high four goals, while Tyson Stengle (3), Shaun Mannagh (3), Miles, Shai Bolton and Jake Aarts all snagged two goals apiece.

RICHMOND   7.3       10.7     17.11  21.13 (139)
NTH MELB    1.3       3.5       5.8       7.9 (51)

VFL and development coach, Craig McRae's summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Sunday’s Round 6 win over North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.


Anthony Miles


36 disposals, two goals, 10 clearances and four tackles

“Anthony Miles continues his great form at VFL level. He got close to 40 disposals, nine clearances and ended up kicking two goals as well. It was quite the complete game and he’s really playing above the level.”

Liam Baker

23 disposals, 12 handball receives, six tackles, five clearances and one goal

“Liam Baker’s another who’s in really good form. He played as a mid-forward and he had over 20 disposals as well as kicking a goal and setting up many others with his great skill going inside-50.”

Brandon Ellis


20 disposals, 15 handball receives and three tackles

“Brandon Ellis played limited minutes due to being a carry-over for the AFL. He had another week where he showed he’s above the level. He’s just waiting for an opportunity, he got mid-20 disposals, but it was his handball receives that were really pleasing, and it was nice to see him get involved in our ball movement.”

Corey Ellis


22 disposals, 15 contested possessions, nine clearances (six centre clearances)

“Corey Ellis was back through the midfield after playing a couple of weeks down back. He really set the scene early in the first quarter, particularly when he got four centre-bounce clearances and really set the game up. He finished the game with mid-20s (disposals) and a goal.”

Connor Menadue


20 disposals, 11 handball receives, five rebound-50s and four inside-50s

“Connor Menadue continues his great form, having 20 disposals as a half-back, setting up many avenues through rebound-50s but also getting the ball inside 50 as well. Presenting some scoring opportunities with his ball use. He’s in great form.”

Callum Moore


14 disposals, four inside-50s and three tackles

“Callum Moore won a lot of the football, he didn’t mark the ball as much as in recent weeks. He only had three marks, but he’s turning up to contests really well, which is great for him.”

Tyson Stengle


14 disposals, 10 contested possessions, four inside-50s, three tackles and three goals

“Tyson Stengle’s one of our consistent and best players, he’s really looking for an AFL opportunity. He kicked another three goals and another week where he hasn’t been tackled. He hasn’t been tackled in two years now.”

Shai Bolton


11 disposals, eight uncontested possessions and two goals

“Shai Bolton started on the wing and had little bits through the forward-line and played both positions throughout the game. He kicked two goals from crumbs in the goal-square from putting pressure on, which is a feature of his.”

Noah Balta

12 disposals, four marks, three tackles and one goal

“Noah Balta played as a key back and a key forward, we’re trying to develop him in both areas. His impact in the air was a feature, but also his ability at ground level to turn up. He kicked a nice goal from a set-shot.”

Patrick Naish

13 disposals, two tackles and three inside-50s

”Patrick Naish, half-back, developing himself as a defender, with the ability to go through the wings. He gives us run-and-carry and setting up off half-back, particularly through centre bounces, which was a highlight.”

Ivan Soldo

12 disposals, 30 hit-outs, eight clearances and four rebound-50s

“Ivan Soldo played against (Braydon) Preuss, which was a really good battle. Two of the best ruckmen in the competition, going head-to-head and we thought that Ivan won that battle and he’s looking really big and strong and really looking like an AFL player.”

Ryan Garthwaite


Seven disposals, three handball receives and two tackles

“Ryan Garthwaite has been a standout key defender of the competition this year and he showed that again. He’s really hard to play on, he didn’t concede any goals, but also his rebound and his aerial contests are standing out.”

Mabior Chol


Six disposals, 12 hit-outs and five tackles

“Mabior Chol played key forward and went into the ruck. He didn’t impact the scoreboard and didn’t have much impact in the air, but his follow-up stuff is something we’re working on and something we saw.”

Ben Miller

Seven disposals and three marks

“Ben Miller playing as a key defender had low disposals but was really hard to play on and his man didn’t impact the game.”


VFL-listed players

Brandon Wood

24 disposals, four goals, eight marks, six clearances and seven inside-50s

“Brandon Wood’s having a great season and he continued his really good form as a midfielder, but also forward. He kicked four goals as a key forward for us. He’s a really versatile player and has been an important player in our team for a while now.”

Charlie Thompson


22 disposals, 12 handball receives and three clearances

“Charlie Thompson played his first game as our 23rd player as an inside-mid. He had close to 25 disposals and the way he presented himself at the contest was really strong. It was an exciting start for his first game.”

James Fletcher

19 disposals, 10 handball receives and four tackles

“James Fletcher played his first game for the season after being an integral part of last year. He’s a really good role player for us, he’s fit, strong and uses the ball really well. He played across half-back and I really liked his game, his tackling was a feature.”

Shaun Mannagh

19 disposals, three goals, six marks, four rebound-50s and four inside-50s

“Shaun Mannagh is another who played his first game, 19 disposals, but the real feature of his game was his three goals. He kicked two in the last quarter, which were a couple of really nice goals from the wing. He’s a nice player for us.”

Tom Silvestro

16 disposals, one goal, eight handball receives and five tackles

“Tom Silvestro for the second week in a row has impacted the scoreboard from the wing. He’s a very hard-working player for us, important in our team defense and it was a really good performance from him.”

Blake Grewar

15 disposals, nine handball receives and two tackles

“Blake Grewar played mainly as a forward, went through the midfield late. He’s a role player, set-up scoring opportunities. He didn’t kick on himself this week, but was around the contest well.”

Jacob Ballard

10 disposals, one goal and three tackles

“Jacob Ballard played as a forward and a little bit through the midfield. He kicked a nice goal, which the team really valued in the third quarter and everyone got around him, which shows how much we value and appreciate having him in our team.”

Jake Aarts


10 disposals, two goals, four marks and four tackles

“Jake Aarts is a tough guy, who plays his role week-in and week-out. Unfortunately, he hurt his shoulder and didn’t play the last quarter. His two goals when the game was there to be won and his pressure is something we really appreciate.”

Steve Morris

10 disposals, three marks, four tackles, three inside-50s and three rebound-50s

“Steve Morris leads from the front, he tackled hard around the ball and his organisation and his pressure is a real feature for our team.”
