Butler with our first.

Grewar point.

Good pressure so far making it hard and slow for Box Hill to exit their backline.

Silvestro just kicked our second.

We have the breeze kicking to the southern end.

Our zone forces the turnover at HF. Rioli to Ballard. Goes long. Throw-in deep. Forward pressure leads to a ball-up directly in front. A clearing Hawks kick lands in Markov's hands 45 out. Misses.

Midfield and defence defensively on top. We prevented Box Hill going forward against the breeze. However, we didn't make the most of our F50 entries. Our tall forwards such as Chol were outmarked.

We can't take a mark inside F50. Too many high balls. Dumb in normal circumstances but really dumb into the breeze. Too easy for Box Hill to spoil.

Credlin drops a mark on the wing allowing the Hawks to go forward. Eggy slips and is caught. 3 in a row to the Hawks.

Great tackle by Ballard forces the ball loose. Naish to Rioli who gets the free. 30 out but misses into the breeze.

Half-time

Richmond   2.2    2.4-16
Box Hill      0.0    6.2-38

Goals: Butler, Silvestro.

It's one thing to be kicking into the breeze. But giving away two undisciplined freebie goals is unforgivable. We also lost the contests in close. Pathetic quarter from us.

Our forward line has been dysfunctional the whole half too.

Box Hill will have the breeze in the last. So the odds are still against us.

If we lose we can blame not making the most of the breeze in the first, undiscipline gifting Box Hill two goals in the second, and allowing them to kick two goals against the breeze in the third.

Anyway, hopefully Box Hill kicking those goals into the breeze means we can too. We need to be smarter and cleaner with ball use into the breeze. Not just bomb it high. Our talls need to lift too as they have been well beaten all day.

* We weren't playing our way early but we back our system. Numbers in the screen and pressure. Keeping the ball down our end.
* Butler, Rioli, Townsend, Weller and Naish who has been very good all year playing AFL footy at VFL level. Praised Morris' leadership too.

VFL Tigers come home with a bang

Brenton Mann
AFL media
May 19, 2019 4:28PM


Richmond VFL stormed home in the final term to secure an eight-point, come-from-behind win over Box Hill at a sunbathed Swinburne Centre on Sunday afternoon.

The Tigers’ discipline had waned in the second term, allowing the Hawks to kick six goals to nil, before the home side steadied and streaked to an 11.12 (78) to 11.4 (70) win.

The spirits of the early-rising Tiger fans watching at home and at the ground would have been buoyed by the form of two thirds of the Club’s premiership winning “Mosquito Fleet”.

Dan Butler was injected into the midfield to great effect, with his blistering speed, cleanliness and dynamism breaking the game open in the third term and helping cement victory.

Butler was back to his best - harassing with nuisance, chasing with intent and attacking with potency.

He finished the game with a team-high three goals and 17 disposals.

Daniel Rioli returned from injury and had a big hand in Richmond turning the tide in the third term.

Rioli’s trademark pressure was there for all to see, leading the team with seven tackles and 18 disposals, splitting his time between forward and midfield.

Tigers versus Hawks - the only undefeated side in 2019 versus the 2018 premiers.

Both sides pride themselves on the defensive aspects of their game, and Richmond was stingy once again in the opening term, holding Box Hill scoreless.

Butler provided the early spark, hitting a forward 50 stoppage at pace and then finishing with a classy snap on his left for the opening goal of the game.

Patrick Naish has been a name on many Tigers’ fans lips and he further enhanced his reputation, wowing the crowd with a genuine first-quarter hanger.

Richmond VFL key pillars, Jacob Ballard and Tom Silvestro combined for the other major of the opening term.

Silvestro is a running machine and when Ballard hit-up at the footy and wheeled into the corridor, the flash of Silvestro streaming inside 50 filled his vision, and he found him.

The Tigers were at their stingy, stifling best in the opening term, however the Hawks turned the tables in the second.

Jarryd Roughead floated through his side’s opening major, shunting the Hawks into action.

Box Hill goaled again before the restart, courtesy of a free kick in the goalsquare.

The Hawks captured the lead soon after, then piled on another three majors, flipping its 13-point quarter-time deficit into a 22-point lead by half-time.

The ball was well and truly in Richmond’s court to keep its unblemished record intact and it needed a spike in intensity after the main break.

Uncharacteristic moments of ill-discipline crept into the Tigers’ game in the second quarter, and the Hawks happily capitalised.

Richmond needed a spark and in stepped Dan Butler.

Butler’s speed, aggression and desire set the benchmark for others to follow, and follow they did.

Rioli worked his way into the game and provided the impetus for the opening goal of the third quarter with his trademark pressure.

The Tigers’ #17 smothered a ball in congestion on the Punt Road wing, which led to the hosts surging the ball forward, with Butler receiving a free kick inside 50 via a marking infringement.

Butler delivered the goal, however Box Hill hit straight back.

The Richmond coaching staff switched the magnets around at half-time and flipped Ben Miller forward to help his side gain some aerial bite inside 50.

Miller repaid the faith, after snapping a goal in the term and engaging the Hawks’ chief interceptor in Kieran Brand and bringing the ball to ground.

Brand collected eight first-half marks, of which four were direct intercepts and helped the Hawks get the game played on their terms in the second quarter.

He was less influential after half-time.

The Tigers and Hawks traded majors in the third term, before Miller’s goal broke the trend and set his side in motion.

Naish had a hand in the next goal, once again highlighting his evolution as a player.

He won a crucial contest in defensive 50, which sent a wave of Tigers surging through the corridor, with the ball ending up in the hands of Butler, who strolled into the open goal.

The Tigers got some speed back in the game and cashed in with a late goal to nuggety forward/midfielder, Mav Weller.

Richmond arrested back the lead and were ahead by two points at the final change – an advantage they wouldn’t surrender.

Rioli’s quicksilver hands put Blake Grewar into space early in the final term, and Grewar snapped truly from long range.

The Tiger Army found its voice and willed its side home.

Mabior Chol shared the ruck duties with Callum Coleman-Jones for the game and roared into action with two goals in the last quarter.

The first was courtesy of a free kick and 50-metre penalty at a centre bounce, the second oozed class and composure.

Jake Aarts extracted the ball from a forward-50 stoppage in the Jack Dyer Stand pocket, fed the ball out to Chol who cruised to close range and sealed a memorable win.

Box Hill cut the margin to eight points late in the game, but the Tigers were able to control the tempo of the game, win the territory battle and close it out.

Development coach Xavier Clarke provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Sunday's Round 7 win over Box Hill Hawks.

Patrick Naish

31 disposals, 17 handball receives, seven inside-50s & four rebound-50s

“Continues his good form throughout the VFL season so far with another 31 disposals. We’re loving his ability to stay in the contest as well. He had another fantastic game and it was great to see him in form.”

Derek Eggmolesse-Smith


23 disposals, four marks & two clearances

“Was a bit fumbly at times, but in some big moments he stood-up when he had to. He’s been clean, which is one of his biggest strengths at the moment. He’s certainly playing great footy at this stage and it was great to see him have an impact on the game when it was in the balance.”


Mav Weller


21 disposals, 13 contested possessions, one goal, six tackles & four clearances

“He continued to find a little bit of the ball, but his speed and spread from the contest was outstanding, six tackles is also something that we pride Mav on and was rewarded with a goal also, which was great to see.”

Fraser Turner

20 disposals, six marks & eight handball receives

“Playing some good footy at the moment. He can certainly find the footy for a first-year player, playing mostly on the wing role. He has the ability to use the ball and be clean, which is one of his biggest strengths and he continues to be in good form at this point-in-time in the season.”

Daniel Rioli

19 disposals, eight tackles & four clearances

“First game in the VFL this season and a game back from injury and I thought he looked quick and the pleasing thing was he had seven tackles and his pressure around the ball was really good. Also, he gave us some speed around the contest, which was a feature of his game.”

Dan Butler

18 disposals, three goals, five clearances & nine inside-50s

“I thought he was absolutely fantastic for us. Only had the 18 touches, but they were big impact touches. He looked quick from the contest and stoppage and played a little bit around the ball and was rewarded with 3.2. I thought he was one of our best players without a doubt and looked very quick out there.”

Jacob Townsend


17 disposals, six tackles, six clearances & five inside-50s

“I thought he was fantastic around the ball. We’re loving his pressure, he had six tackles, which was the most for our ‘mids’. Just his contest work has been a feature of his game and always has been. It’s been pleasing to see him back that up in the previous weeks.

Oleg Markov


17 disposals, six marks & five rebound-50s

“It was great to see Oleg back down there again. His second game (back), played limited game-time last week coming of that knee injury, but looked strong in the contest, looked dangerous. He played a really good game down back.”

Jake Aarts


11 disposals, three tackles & three clearances

“He was a little bit quieter today, but I thought he had some big moments in the contest. He didn’t get off and get goals like he usually has been able to get, but in saying that the work that we see behind the ball in what he does, his work-rate off the cameras is a big feature of his game. He certainly had a massive impact on the result of the game today.

Callum Coleman-Jones

10 disposals, nine hit-outs, four tackles & four clearances

“Played the majority of the ruck with (Ivan) Soldo being out, swapping with ‘Cholly’ (Mabior Chol). I though he was fantastic around the ball with his ‘hit tos’ and his ability to be able to get used when we have to if we kick the ball forward. He didn’t have an impact on the scoreboard, but he had a big presence around the stoppages, which was great.”

Ben Miller

10 disposals, one goal & two rebound-50s

“Went forward, kicked a goal. We’re trying to find that balance between him playing on talls down in defence and also an opportunity for him to go forward at times. He’s continued to develop and work on his game and his craft and he’ll continue to get better.”

Mabior Chol

Eight disposals, two goals, 10 hit-outs & five tackles

“He only had eight touches, but he had a massive impact on the game. Two goals, some big moments around the stoppages, especially centre-square bounce. He’s playing great footy at the moment, he’s in good form and its pleasing to see that he ended the game with five tackles, which is a feature of ‘Cholly’s’ game when he’s playing well.”
