Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Well would you look at that, Sonsie picking up another 30+ possessions playing in the midfield for the ressies. Guessing if he gets named, he’ll either be the sub or get stuck in the forward line.Not saying he’s going to be a quality afl player but geez it would be good to see him actually be given a run of games in his best position.
Where was Rioli?
Tyler Sonsie (34 disposals, 20 contested possessions, 10 clearances, five inside-50's, one goal)“Strong performance around center bounce, 16 ground ball gets and 20 contested possessions. Stayed around the ball really strongly, was clean below his feet, brought his teammates into the game and was a real leader in our midfield.”Kane McAuliffe (29 disposals, six marks, five tackles, five clearances, eight inside-50's, one goal)“Similar to (Tyler) Sonsie, just played above the level, was strong, stepped through tackles, drove his legs, brought his teammates into the game as well. Great performance, and impact on the scoreboard.”Jacob Koschitzke (11 disposals, three marks, two rebound-50's)“He's a good general down back, didn't get outmarked or lose an aerial contest. Really strong defensive system, Coburg challenged us with how well they spread the ground and had some tough decisions for Jacob, but made some really strong decisions and had a great final quarter, and particularly in the air, had some big moments.”Samson Ryan (11 disposals, five marks, 12 hit-outs, three goals)“Bit of ruck, bit of forward, great energy, great leadership. Great teammate, kicked goals for us, competed well in the air and had some critical moments in the final 10 or so minutes.”Campbell Gray (10 disposals, three marks, five rebound-50's)“A tale of two halves. Second half he came out and made really strong decisions in the air to spoil as opposed to trying to mark everything. Played our system right and for a third game as a defender, it's going really strongly.”Jasper Alger (10 disposals, six contested possessions, three clearances, one goal)“Had some real opportunities to tear the game apart. Probably didn't, some of the marks didn't stick, but he's learning, he's getting to the right spots, and we see a great future for Jasper.”Oliver Hayes-Brown (nine disposals, two marks, 13 hit-outs, three clearances)“Got some really good ruck minutes, a bit of work to do on craft, but great to see him out there working in tandem with Mate (Colina).”Jonty Faull (eight disposals, three marks, six contested possessions, five inside-50's)“Great to see him out there for three quarters of football essentially, crash packs, runs really hard, and just wants to compete and win. Great to see him out there.”Thomas Sims (eight disposals, five marks, five contested possessions, two goals)“Once again had some real opportunities to take the game really strongly, dropped a couple of marks, but he put himself in positions really well. Great learning game for him, but all in all, great progression.”Mate Colina (five disposals, one mark, five hit-outs)“Bit of forward, bit of ruck. Similar to (Oliver), I think there's a chance to use their size a bit more to our benefit going forward. Took a nice contested mark in the last quarter to have a shot at goal. Didn't quite make it, but he's continually learning to put himself in the right positions.”
