Second-year rookie forward Callum Moore suffered a potentially serious left leg injury in the final quarter of the Tigers' 55-point loss.

The 20-year-old, who kicked two goals, left the ground in the hands of trainers and didn't return.

Half-forward Ben Lennon appeared to pick up a leg niggle soon after converting a set shot in the last term, but he shook off any injury troubles to finish the game with 18 disposals and two goals.

Omitted key forward Todd Elton registered three goals and axed midfielder Corey Ellis had 19 touches, while tall rookie Mabior Chol was moved into the ruck in the final term after having little impact in the first three quarters.

VFL: Tigers no match for Williamstown

Richmond 10.11-71 def by Williamstown 19.12-126

The VFL Tigers were beaten in their Round 6 clash against Williamstown on Sunday, with the Seagulls winning by 55 points at Burbank Oval.

The VFL Tigers held their own in a fast-paced opening quarter, before a nine-goal second term from the Seagulls had them in a commanding position.

The VFL Tigers, led by a 45-disposal haul from inside midfielder Brandon Wood, battled tirelessly but the hosts were resilient in defence and held onto their advantage until the final siren.

Richmond VFL and Development Coach, Craig McRae, said his side would take a number of key-learnings from the Round 6 encounter.

“When we have energy in the game, we’re a really good team,” McRae said.

“In the second quarter we were dominated in the clearances, and they hurt us.

“It was part of the game we can look back on to improve.”

In a tightly contested opening quarter, the VFL Tigers managed to carry a slender lead into the first break off the back of some authoritative play from talls Todd Elton and Callum Moore.

Elton, returning from AFL duties, kicked two goals and took four marks in a strong showing at centre half forward, while Moore picked off a Seagulls clearance to slot through the VFL Tigers’ first of the day.

Wood showed determination and grit from the opening bounce and wasted no time in establishing his presence in the middle, gathering 16 disposals, four clearances and three tackles by the first break.

However, with blustery conditions picking up in the second term, Williamstown put together a run of nine goals to one in the second stanza – establishing a six-goal lead at the main change.

Wood continued to gather plenty of the ball while the always impressive Jacob Ballard and hard-running Corey Ellis were relentless in their bids to stem the tide of the Seagulls scoring.

Tyson Stengle continued his strong form from the past few weeks, nailing an important set-shot at the start of the quarter and applying his trademark forward pressure at every contest.

The traveling Tiger faithful were also buoyed by the return of Ben Lennon, who provided an excellent outlet as he ventured higher up the ground and gathered 12 disposals and two clearances.

With a hefty deficit in tow, the VFL Tigers showed immense fight and vigour as they sought to reduce the margin.

Lennon added his first major of the day, before Elton marked and goaled for his third.

Stengle continued to be a thorn in the side of the Seagulls defence with second, adding another goal to his tally that also included 10 disposals and five tackles.

A duo of late goals to the fast-finishing Williamstown managed to stretch the lead back out to the six-goal margin in the shadows of three quarter time and despite the best efforts of the VFL Tigers, the lead eventually crept up to 55 points by the final siren.

Wood continued his industrious efforts in the middle, adding seven tackles and four marks to him impressive disposal count.

Richmond VFL captain Sam Darley led by example with an eight-disposal quarter, while Tom Silvestro also shone late as the effort continued until the final siren.

A composed Lennon set-shot was a final spectacle for Tiger fans, rounding off an impressive return of two goals, 18 disposals, three marks and two tackles.

The VFL Tigers now look to an eagerly anticipated return to Punt Road Oval for Saturday’s Dreamtime at the ‘G curtain-raiser against Essendon.

Development and VFL backline coach, Ryan Ferguson's summary of the AFL and VFL-listed players from Sunday’s Round 6 VFL match against Williamstown.

AFL LISTED PLAYERS

Ben Lennon

17 disposals, three marks, two clearances, two goals.

Got the chance to play as a mid-forward this week, which is always good to add to his game.

Corey Ellis

16 disposals, three clearances, one tackle, one score assist.

Ball use was really sharp, we would like to see him get more of the footy.

Jacob Townsend

16 disposals, 10 tackles, six clearances, three inside-50s.

Was a bull, as he usually is. Always shows great fight.


Tyson Stengle

13 disposals, five tackles, four marks, two goals.

Really calm and composed, and showed his trademark poise with the ball.

Oleg Markov

13 disposals, one mark, one tackle, two score assists.

Got thrown around a little bit. Hopefully we can get him to settle into a position next week and find his niche.

Taylor Hunt

12 disposals, two tackles, one clearance, one score assist.

Didn’t quite have the impact that we hoped he would this week, but we know he’ll bounce back strong.

Ivan Maric

10 disposals, 42 hitouts, five clearances, one tackle.

He was our warrior again, bashed in all day against a really strong opponent.

Ryan Garthwaite

Nine disposals, four marks, one clearance, one score assist.

Was really strong down back and rarely got beaten. Swung forward and wasn’t able to impact they way he would have liked, but showed some great signs.

Steven Morris

Nine disposals, six tackles, three inside-50s.

Also didn’t impact as much as we hoped he might, but he’s a guy of extreme character and he still bashed away for us. Still very important to our side.

Todd Elton

Eight disposals, seven marks, one tackle, three goals.

Was probably the pick of the bunch up forward. Played big and strong, jumped at the footy well, took marks and crashed packs.


Callum Moore

Eight disposals, two marks, two goals.

Unfortunately went down with an injury, but until then gave some drive off half-back and was looking dangerous off half-forward.

Mabior Chol

Seven disposals, three marks, two inside-50s, two behinds.

Continuing to work on his game. Keeps showing glimpses of his ability.

Jake Batchelor

Seven disposals, three marks, two inside-50s, two rebound-50s

Ended up a little bit sore. Started strong down back and held us together defensively. Went forward, but wasn’t able to impact.
