Was a different player against Melbourne. Ran hard to get to every contest or to receive and took some strong marks. Didn't look exhausted and wasn't jogging around aimlessly by half time like in previous matches. But then, it was against Melbourne and they love to turn the ball over which will reward a team that is always behind the contests. Still, this is the effort we should expect every week.
16 possessions in the first quarter and the dees were in front. His disposals were mostly inconsequential. I would love to know the total meters gained from his 39 disposals. There were plenty of sideways and backwards 15m chips and hot potato handballs. Still fumbles and turns the ball over under pressure. But that could be blamed on Richmond's ineffective defensive game plan that broke down and kept Melbourne in the contest for four quarters rather than any fault of the kids. At least we know he is capable of running hard now.
