With Miles & Townsend both out and another two players due to come up to the seniors this could be a tricky one... :shh

Aarts out for 2 weeks i believe due to suspension - big out!
-
That's a huge out - easily our best VFL player (though I think Mannagh has more potential :shh).

-
Balta in the ruck.
McIntosh, Lloyd & Stengle starting in the centre square.
We're kicking with the breeze.
-
We've got out 4 times on transition but poor disposal has stuffed up all 4 forward forays :scream.
Bolton OOTF kick.
Lloyd didn't give off the handball then turned it over.
Coates kicks a grubber with our forwards on the lead.
Lloyd shanks a kick straight to an Essendon defender with Balta free.
-
Better disposal there going forward. Menadue on the wing into Lloyd. Hands over to Credlin who spots up Baker on the lead 35m out. Hooks it to the left.
1 - 0
-
Good mark by Menadue on the wing. No one on the mark so he runs 20m and kicks it inside 50. Coates mark and runs into an open goal :gotigers.
Rich 1.1-7
Ess 0.0-0
10 mins Q1
-
HTB free to Silvestro at HF. Goes long to a pack. Mannagh crumbs, steps around a defender and snaps a goal :gotigers.
Rich 2.1-13
Ess 0.0-0
12 mins Q1
-
Poor kick by Essendon out of defence. Mannagh to Stengle to Wood all by hand but his snap misses.
14 - 0
-
Lost our structure forward of the ball. No one forward of centre. Essendon rebound by hand into the breeze through the corridor and get a goal.
14 - 6
-
Stengle wins the ball at the HB stoppage. Off to Bolton who does the don't argue and bombs it long from the centre circle. It carries over the pack on the breeze for a point.
15 - 7
-
Weird goal to us.
Macca at HF gets 50. Goes long to the square. A pack forms 10m out but the ump won't blow the whistle to ball it up. Everyone stops except Baker who snaps a goal :gotigers.
Rich 3.3-21
Ess 1.1-7
22 mins Q1
-
So kicking the ball 50m into an empty forward and it rolls out of bounds is now classed as deliberate OOB :facepalm.
Anyway we get it back and Lloyd goals :gotigers.
Rich 4.3-27
Ess 1.2-8
27 mins Q1
-
Good tackle defensive side of centre causes the turnover. A chain of handballs Stengle to Bolton to Balta who squares to Mannagh = goal :gotigers
And that's Quarter Time:
Rich 5.3-33
Ess 1.2-8
Goals: Mannagh 2, Lloyd, Baker, Coates.
-
The breeze is strong to the Mt Alexander End (left of screen) so needed at least a 4 goal lead. The ball was carrying a long way. We didn't make the most of it in the first 15 minutes as we butchered a number of Inside 50 entries.
We've set up to counterattack so it'll be interesting to see how we go into this strong breeze. Need to run in numbers and link up by hand to get deep entries to be close enough to goal to score. No way it seems up can kick accurately right of screen beyond 30m out.
-
Lucky a number times on transition out of defence. A few 50/50s went our way. It ends with CCJ goaling :gotigers
One against the breeze.
Rich 6.3-39
Ess 1.2-8
4 mins Q2
-
Bathie took a good mark on the wing but his kick is poor. It rebounds off a contest to Menadue in the centre but his kick is smothered and Essendon goal on the turnover.
39 - 14
-
Good play by Naish on the wing. A 1-2 and then goes long. Good forward pressure. Baker smother causes the turnover. Silvestro to Mannagh who goals :gotigers
Rich 7.3-45
Ess 2.2-14
9 mins Q2
-
Essendon goal. Breeze is strong to their left forward pocket and the ball spent the last 5 minutes in their forward line. We just couldn't get it out of there.
45 - 23
20 mins Q2
-
Another to them.
45 - 29
21 mins Q2
-
Need to hang on here. Our run has dried up against the breeze.
-
Wind and now rain. Need to K.I.S.S. We're still trying to handball our way into the breeze which is playing into Essendon's hands with a slippery ball.
-
And just as I post that the Sun comes out again. Welcome to Melbourne :laugh:.
-
Dumb dumb dumb :banghead.
We had possession and we give them a free shot at goal off the ball.
Lucky they miss and it's a point.
45 - 30
27 mins Q2
-
Stoppage in their forward line. Two Tigers collide trying to pick up the ball and Essendon goals :P.
45 - 36
29 mins Q2
-
Bombers dominating now plus some I'll discipline from us and they are back within 9 points. Would want to be 8 goals up at 3 quarter time with this breeze
45-37 up 31 mins gone 2nd qtr
-
Half-time
Rich 5.3 7.3-45
Ess 1.2 5.8-38
Goals: Mannagh 3, Lloyd, Baker, Coleman-Jones, Coates.
-
Our intensity dropped off in the last 10 minutes and they dominated the contested footy and clearances which meant we couldn't get our running game on the outside going. With the breeze they were constantly going inside their F50. Lucky they kicked a few points as the breeze is going strongly into the left forward pocket rather than straight down the middle.
You're right pmac. It's a 5-6 goal breeze and if you aim for the right side of the goals it will float back through the middle. Need to be 40+ points up at 3/4 time to make the most of the wind.
Liked Baker's game today so far. Could earn a debut if he keeps this up and Butler's ankle isn't okay.
-
I've got to pop out for a bit. If someone could take over and post score updates it will be much appreciated :).
-
Tiggers 62/40 up
-
Cheers HRT.
Goals to Grewar and just then Baker from distance with the breeze.
Out of the middle and Balta hits Ballard 40 out. Misses.
Rich 9.9-63
Ess 5.10-40
23 mins
Commentators saying we wasted the first 13 minutes with the breeze.

Bolton bursts away from the stoppage at HB. Hits up CCJ. Goes long and out the back where Ballard goals :gotigers

Our 2 qtrs with the wind: 28 and 26mins
Scum qtr with wind 34mins
Cheating druggies are on the time clock
-
We didn't make the most of the breeze. Two more goals would've been very handy. We're going to now have to kick a couple against it in the last like we did early in the 2nd qtr to win.
-
Essendon get the first of the last but Stengle flies, marks and gets it back :gotigers.
Rich 11.11-77
Ess 6.11-47
12 mins Q4

The breeze has dropped a little according to the commentators.
We have a ping from 40 but it falls short. Essendon rebound and go coast to coast for a set shot. Misses thankfully.

15 mins Q4
-
Essendon player marks but is called to play on and we nail him. HTB. Goes long and it comes off an Essendon defender's foot OOTF. Menadue snaps from the pocket and nails it :gotigers.
Looking good now.

Garthwaite with ice on his ankle. He did run off the ground so it looks like it wasn't too bad and we are just being cautious.
Commentators praised the games of Baker and Coleman-Jones.

How Balta didn't get in the best is staggering :gobdrop
Ernest is one to watch - can play :shh

Rookie Liam Baker booted two goals and gathered 27 possessions in the Tigers' 32-point away win.
Tyson Stengle also had a busy day at the office, finishing with 18 touches, nine tackles and a goal.
Shai Bolton (23 disposals, six tackles, one goal and seven inside 50s),
Connor Menadue (27 possessions, six clearances, five inside 50s and a goal) &
Noah Balta (16 touches, 13 hit-outs) were significant factors.

VFL Tigers secure a gutsy win on the road
“Evidence feeds confidence”
Richmond veteran, Sam Lloyd labelled it as one of best wins he’s been a part of and you couldn’t wipe the smile off VFL coach, Craig McRae’s face.
The VFL Tigers trekked to Windy Hill keen to prove that no matter the circumstance, no matter the personnel, that their system holds-up against any opposition.
Richmond was staunchly challenged by fellow top-four counterpart, Essendon, but in the end it was its superior running game, class and defensive prowess which ensured a gutsy 32-point win.
The Tigers, full of vigour and verve, steamed to a 13.11 (89) to 7.15 (57) away win.
With in-form players such as Ivan Soldo, Corey Ellis, Anthony Miles and Jacob Townsend missing through a variety of injury, AFL duties and suspension, the Tigers depth was seriously tested.
However, as Craig McRae has continually preached, “anywhere, anytime, anyone”.
It was up to VFL-listers such as: Joel Ernest, Brenton Credlin, Shaun Mannagh, Connor Riley, Dan Coffield and Tom Silvestro to rise and fill the void, which they did with aplomb.
McRae posed the question to this chargers pre-game, "What do you think the 'Richmond Man' looks like?"
On today’s evidence, the “Richmond Man” exerts asphyxiating pressure, turns-up for his teammates, plays his role and and brings immense intensity from siren to siren.
With roughly a five-goal wind howling to the Nicholson St end, capitalising on that breeze was imperative for both sides, and it was the Tigers who were the first to cash in.
Richmond took a little while to adapt to the conditions, however when it spread the ball to the outside, it streamed forward with venom and class, and continually found space inside-50.
Zippy forward, Shaun Mannagh caused a mountain of headaches for the Bomber defenders, snagging two opening-term majors.
His second goal was set up superbly by burgeoning, tall utility, Noah Balta, whose penetrating ball use shone bright in gloomy conditions.
The Tigers were able to gain the ascendency with a five-goal first quarter, with experienced and young heads in Sam Lloyd and Liam Baker combining superbly through the midfield.
Baker sliced the Bombers to ribbons through the corridor, with his cunning ball-use continually putting his teammates in attacking positions, and Baker was also crafty in-front of goal.
He kicked one major in the opening term and set-up Lloyd as well.
The Bombers’ ball use allowed the Tigers set-up imperiously behind the ball, with Richmond repeatedly thwarting Essendon’s attacking thrusts.
However, once the Bombers added sprinkles of risk, dash and dare into their game, they found their way back into the contest and reduced the margin to seven points at halftime.
Essendon kicked four goals with the wind, but importantly for the Tigers, they were able to jag two of their own early in the term, to keep the Bombers at an arm’s length.
The Tigers lost Ryan Garthwaite to a left ankle injury, which saw him sit out the second half and put another strain on his side’s depth.
Noah Balta was swung back in the final term, with supreme effect, while Ben Miller and Dan Coffield assumed Garthwaite’s anchoring role resolutely.
Connor Menadue rose a level in the third term after being thrust into the midfield and kick-started the Tigers after finding Blake Grewar free inside-50.
Grewar, returning from a long injury lay-off cooly slotted the set-shot, which got the Tigers rolling.
Liam Baker put one up in the jet-stream and watched his running shot from outside 50 clear the pack and bounce through.
After Jacob Ballard pounced on a loose ball and snapped his first, the Tigers re-established their comfortable 29-point and wrestled the game back on their terms.
Essendon slotted the first on the final term to give itself a glimmer of hope, which was quickly quashed by a rampant Tyson Stengle.
Stengle judge the flight of the ball to perfection, flew early and dragged down an absolute classic.
He was awarded a 50-metre penalty, which took him to the goal-line, where he reinstated the Tigers’ five-goal lead, which wouldn’t be challenged again.
Stengle’s last quarter was sublime, but his partner-in-crime, Shai Bolton stole the show with his nomination for goal of the year.
Hemmed in on the boundary in the left forward pocket, in a sea of Bombers, Bolton shrugged two would-be tacklers, danced out of congestion and snapped on his right, sending the shivering Tiger Army into raptures.
This was a win that was once again built on heart, guts, bundled with class, and would have warmed the heart of any Tiger fan.
RICHMOND 5.3 7.3 10.9 13.11 (89)
ESSENDON 1.2 5.8 5.11 7.15 (57)

I thought baker, menadue, balta, Bolton and ccj were all good today. Kmac is woefully out of form.
Think Floss, houli and Bolton come in for broad, graham and butler.

Great write-up!

VFL and development coach, Craig McRae's summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Sunday’s Round 14 win over Essendon at Windy Hill.
Connor Menadue
25 disposals, one goal, six inside-50s, five rebound-50s and five clearances
“Continued his great form at VFL level, his contest work was really strong with 12 contested possessions. His ability to play multiple roles, he started at half-back, then went inside the midfield and onto a wing has been a real feature. He’s in good form and ready for AFL opportunity.”
Liam Baker
24 disposals, two goals, four tackles, four inside-50s and two rebound-50s
“Is another who is playing great football at VFL level. He continues to get a lot of the football, impacted the scoreboard this week by kicking two goals and also laid four tackles. He’s in really good form as well.”
Shai Bolton
22 disposals, eight tackles, one goal and seven inside-50s
“He’s really setting the game alight at the moment. Some real highlights, kicking a really awesome goal late in the game. Having eight tackles was a real feature of his performance. He played midfield, wing and also forward late in the game, so he’s ready to play AFL footy when the opportunity presents.”
Patrick Naish
21 disposals, seven marks and four rebound-50s
“Played his best game for a while, his ability to defend was a feature, eight marks was a stand out. It was the defensive part of his game of which we were most pleased of.”
Sam Lloyd
20 disposals, 10 handball receives, one goal and seven tackles
“Played through the midfield and his leadership really stood out, particular in the defensive side of his game and communication and leading from the front. That’s been a real stand-out in that part of his game in recent weeks.”
Tyson Stengle
18 disposals, six tackles, one goal and four clearances
“Played through the midfield and also forward. He’s really hard to beat one-on-one, his evasive skills and decision making is something that we’re really enjoying. He’s really playing to his strengths.”
Kamdyn McIntosh
17 disposals, 10 tackles, three inside-50s and three rebound-50s
“He’s another who’s playing good football at VFL level. His second game back now, played through the midfield and on a wing. He didn’t impact the clearances as much as we’d like, but certainly impacted with the defensive side of his game.”
Callum Coleman-Jones
16 disposals, 17 hit-outs, five tackles and one goal
“Played through the ruck and a bit of forward. In the absence of Ivan Soldo he’s getting really good development time through the ruck. His aerial stuff is starting to stand out week-after-week, and he’s improving and we’re really happy with his growth.”
Noah Balta
14 disposals, 16 hit-outs, four tackles, four inside-50s and three rebound-50s
“Really liked his game. He started in the ruck, went forward and in the last quarter with Ryan Garthwaite out, he went down back and was a real stand-out for us.”
Ben Miller
10 disposals, four marks, three tackles and three rebound-50s
“Solid as a rock down back. His growth and his development are really strong. He’s rarely beaten,intercept marking, rebound-50s, he’s hard to play against at the moment. He’s in good form.”
Ryan Garthwaite
Six disposals, three tackles and two marks
“Unfortunately hurt his ankle in the second quarter and didn’t return and may be in some doubt this week, time will tell.”
VFL listed players
Daniel Coffield
16 disposals, nine marks, three tackles and five rebound-50s
“His fourth game back now after an interrupted pre-season. He looks like he’s back to his real best form. His aerial contest was really, really strong and back to his best, nine marks on the day and really set us up and was rarely beaten.”
Tom Silvestro
14 disposals, five tackles and three inside-50s
“A real team player, we love him in our team. He’s such a terrific competitor. He put his body on the line many times, played multiple roles, wing and half-forward. His cover defence was something that we really enjoyed.”
Joel Ernest
14 disposals, eight contested possessions and three rebound-50s
“He came back into the team after missing out. He was in great form when he went out and unfortunately the squeeze came for his role, but he came back in and showed why we really enjoy having him in our side. Off half-back, really competitive, hard to beat one-on-one, and his rebound-50 stuff was something that we really enjoyed.”
Jacob Ballard
13 disposals, one goal, two clearances and three marks
“Played forward predominantly and played through the midfield when needed. With a couple of key personnel out, he had to play as a third tall, sometimes even the second target for us. He presented well, and his aerial stuff, playing to his strength was something we saw there. He kicked a nice goal and was an important player for us.”
Brandon Wood
13 disposals, four tackles and five clearances
“Pinch-hit through the midfield, a really hard competitor, hard to play against. The strong contested part of his game was a real feature and led the team for clearances which is what we want from him.”
Shaun Mannagh
12 disposals, three goals and six tackles
“Back in the side this week, came in and really impacted the game early, he kicked two goals in the first quarter and really set us alight and had three by halftime. His tenacity to win the ball really stood out, six tackles was a really good game from Shaun.”
Ryan Bathie
10 disposals, four inside-50s and two marks
“Came in and showed great leadership from him. He’s the most experienced player we have, led from the front in that regard. He presented well, played his role well and he was a good contributor on the day.”
Brenton Credlin
10 disposals, three tackles and four inside-50s
“Played his best game for us for a while. He came in having gone out of the team for a week and comes back in and plays his role extremely well. He played a bit of wing, half-back. He really fits into our structure well and led from the front with his contest stuff.”
Billy Coates
Nine disposals, one goal, three tackles and three marks
“Returned to the side as well with a few changes this week. Big strong body, played an important role for us in the forward-line, went back and impacted and also supported a bit in the ruck. He kicked a nice goal and could have kicked another really nice one in the last quarter, but unfortunately hit the post to be point of the year.”
Blake Grewar
Nine disposals, one goal and three tackles
“Back from five or six weeks out with an ankle injury, he comes into the team, looks classy and strong over the ball. He played mainly forward and we look forward to his growth in the coming weeks as he gains fitness. He’s been a really good player for us and kicked a nice goal.”
Connor Riley
Nine disposals, five contested possessions and two clearances
“Did a great job for us, we used him in a tagging role and kept his opponent to under 10 disposals. He was really disciplined to what he was doing and bought into our team defence and was one of the best players on the day.”
Max O’Sullivan
Seven disposals, two tackles and two marks
“Came in as a small forward, hasn’t played for a couple of weeks. Pressure, chase, tackles are the things we want to see from him. He didn’t impact the scoreboard but was definitely involved in some attacking chains and played his role.”
