It's a shame Tom Couch is so old because he is a bloody star IMO. He is better than half our list.

Can he play ruck?

Couch is too old, would prefer Ballard to take Moore's spot on the list (or at least rookie).

VFL Tigers storm to victory over Hawks

richmondfc.com.au
25 July 2016


There were more spectacular feats than Mabior Chol’s chase-down tackle on the Jack Dyer Stand wing in the frenzied final term of Sunday's clash between Richmond VFL and Box Hill, but none held greater importance.

With Richmond clinging to a 10-point lead and Box Hill launching an attacking foray, Chol harassed, pestered, and ultimately stopped the Hawks in their tracks with his brilliant run-down tackle.

Moments earlier, Chol took a goal-saving mark deep in Richmond’s defensive-50, with his duo of selfless acts epitomising the Tigers’ barnstorming comeback.

Richmond found itself trailing by 19 points at the final change, but went on an eight-goal last quarter blitz to capture a memorable win, the final scores finishing 13.7 (85) to 10.9 (69).

A trio of key Tigers also shone brightly, as Ty Vickery, Andrew Moore and Bachar Houli stood-up when their numbers were called.

Vickery’s opening major of the final term lit the flame, and his second half-way through the quarter sent the faithful into raptures in what was a well crafted display by the big man.

A revitalised Andrew Moore was another who bagged a final-term double, with his first handing Richmond their first lead of the game, and his second sealing the win.

Moore’s maturity shone through when the game was in the balance, as he took it upon himself to rip the lead from the Hawks’ grasp with a major from the paint of the 50-metre arc.

It was a goal he had to kick, as Vickery was tearing towards goal, pleading for the ball, but he gleefully watched it sail through, and the Tigers swarmed to Moore.

Houli’s last quarter heroics reminded everyone just what a high-quality player and leader he is.

Houli was shifted on-ball in the final term in what proved a masterstroke.

He teamed perfectly with Ivan Maric, Moore and Tom Couch, with his piercing left boot, nous and guile allowing the Tigers to dominate in the centre square.

Houli conveyed serenity in the frantic final minutes, with his teammates following suit.

The Tigers slammed on eight goals to two in their best quarter of the year, which also showcased their immense improvement and growth.

The blitz of goals came via Vickery (two), Moore (two), Elton, Townsend, Marcon and Couch with singles.

Box Hill jumped Richmond early on, kicking two goals in the opening five minutes and finished the first term with three goals to zip.

The Tigers were matching it with their counterparts in the contest, but a number of turnovers cost them dearly, as Box Hill capitalised.

The Hawks are the best in the business at scoring from opposition turnovers, and the Tigers simply handed them the ball at times.

Box Hill struck first in the second term before Kane Lambert swooped at a forward-50 throw-in and nailed the Tigers first major for the day.

The Hawks would goal again, but inside-bull Jacob Ballard responded with customary poise, which clicked the Tigers into gear.

Box Hill naggingly kept taking their chances forward of centre as the Tigers squandered theirs, before Couch made his presence felt with a calming major.

Richmond trailed by 25 points at the main break, but should have been much closer.

The Tigers got the game on their terms in the third quarter, which laid the foundations for the final quarter onslaught.

Richmond ruckman Maric bagged a third-term double, which kept his side in touch with Box Hill.

The Tigers slotted 10 goals to three post half-time in what was their best performance of the year.

Coach Craig McRae welcomed Couch back with open arms, as the midfielder bundled his 29 disposals with two goals, with Andrew Moore (28, two goals), Jacob Townsend (28), and Houli (24) offering outstanding support.

Richmond hosts Frankston next Saturday, July 30 at Punt Road Oval from 11am.

Richmond VFL and development coach Craig McRae's summary:

AFL-listed

Andrew Moore


28 disposals, two goals, nine clearances, six tackles

Continued his great form. It’s probably been six or seven weeks now that he’s been in the top three or four best players in our team. He had 28 disposals, nine clearances, six tackles and a couple of goals - including two in the last quarter when the game was on line. It was a great performance.

Jacob Townsend


28 disposals, one goal, eight clearances, eight tackles

Played more time in the midfield than in recent weeks. Another who, when the game was on the line, really wanted to step up. He had eight clearances, 11 inside 50s and a goal.

Bachar Houli


24 disposals, five clearances, six tackles

Played his first game coming back from injury and surgery. He played minimal time in the first quarter, came on late and then played out the remainder of the game. His last quarter was one that really set the scene for the team. It was a great day out for him.

Adam Marcon

21 disposals, seven tackles, three clearances, one goal

Played wing, midfield, forward, it was a great opportunity for him to explore and add flexibility to his game. He still impacted the game really well - kicked a nice goal late in the game - and he’s in great form.

Nathan Broad


20 disposals, six marks, four tackles

Returned from AFL opportunity, playing across half-back, and was really workmanlike. He used the ball really well, setting up a lot of attacking run off half-back. A good performance from Nathan.

Kane Lambert

17 disposals, six clearances, one goal

Only played a half and then was used as a carry-over in case of AFL opportunity or emergency. His 17 disposals in a half is a good return, 10 contested (possessions), six clearances and a goal. It was a shame we couldn’t have him in the second half as well.

Todd Elton

14 disposals, nine marks, one goal, three tackles

Played the best game I’ve seen him play - this year in particular. His marking was a real feature and in the last quarter he kicked a really critical goal. He was running on top of the ground and competing really strongly in the air. A good performance from him.

Dan Butler

13 disposals, three tackles, two marks

Had a solid performance. Didn’t have the impact of the previous game against Footscray, but still had great intensity. He showed up at the crumbing position and had the opportunity to kick goals, but unfortunately kicked two behinds. Certainly his foundations and his standards have lifted.

Ty Vickery

12 disposals, two goals, five marks, two tackles

He was really important. His first half was pretty quiet I thought, but then he played some important roles as a ruck and then in the last quarter he went forward and kicked two goals at critical times. I thought it was a good game from Ty.

Ivan Maric


24 hit-outs, two goals, 11 disposals

Ivan played a great game. Similar to Ty, in the first half he didn’t have much impact, but in the third quarter he kicked two critical goals at an important time. He certainly set the game up for us in the last quarter and went into the midfield and was dominant in the ruck.

Jake Batchelor

Eight disposals, four tackles

Workmanlike - only the eight disposals - but defended really well. Not many highs, but not many lows. It was a really solid game from him.

Callum Moore

Six disposals, three marks, four tackles

Had a bit of a quieter day. Worked hard, got to some good positions, but didn’t capitalise in the air. There won’t be a lot to learn from this game, but his running and competing was there for all to see.

Mabior Chol


Five disposals, four tackles

Only the five disposals, but I thought it was one of his best games defensively. He just had really big moments, one was a tackle in the last quarter which set up a goal, and another was going back and taking a critical mark. I think it was a huge step forward for “Marbs”. It shows that he’s coming along well as a defender for us.

Ivan Soldo


32 hit-outs, four disposals, three clearances

Minimal touches, but in the ruck he was really important. He showed that he can dominate around the ground in the hit-outs and was really important for us to stabilise, and in the end win, clearance on the day.

Ben Lennon


Two disposals, two contested possessions

Unfortunately was injured in the first quarter, rolling his ankle.

VFL-listed

Tom Couch

29 disposals, two goals, four clearances, three tackles

Returned for his first game in about eight weeks and was outstanding. He had 29 disposals, and two goals - one really critical one in the last quarter. He just imposed himself on the game. It was a great performance.

Nick Mellington

20 disposals, four tackles, 11 handball receives

Returned to good form. Had a disappointing game against Footscray and really good players don’t have two bad games in-a-row, and he proved that. He had 20 disposals, with hard running and good contested work from him.

Tom Langford

19 disposals, four marks, 14 uncontested possessions

Played across half-back. Uses the ball well, smart in traffic and was really important with his leadership.

Jacob Ballard

18 disposals, five marks, one goal

Was squeezed out of the midfield compared to recent weeks, but he went forward where his marking was a real highlight. He took five marks, including two really strong contested ones, and kicked a nice goal for us too. He’s a very important player for us.

Sam Darley


18 disposals, four marks, two tackles

Continued his good form. He’s a great ball user across half-back and also showed great leadership, similar to Tom Langford. He’s in good form.

James Fletcher

14 disposals, five tackles, four marks

Our 23rd player, he plays his role well. He needs to try and fight and struggle to get through tackles, that’s an area of improvement for him, but that will come as he gets bigger and stronger. Playing across the wing, his ball use and long running is important.

Ryan Gale

11 disposals, four marks

A key defender who continues to support young “Marbs” around him and others. A big pillar and post player down back for us.

Dan Coffield


Eight disposals, three marks, three tackles

Great role player; love having him in the team, he's hard to play against. In the last quarter his positioning was terrific. He rebounded really well for us.

He has been playing forward most of this year when he is available. Can take a great mark and would love him to play the remainder of the year in the firsts. If they drop McBean I would play Elton to see what he has and he has played relief ruck in the past. Like Griff he has confidence issues.

Always thought he showed promise as a KPF so it'd be good to see him get a go

He was really important. His first half was pretty quiet I thought, but then he played some important roles as a ruck and then in the last quarter he went forward and kicked two goals at critical times. I thought it was a good game from Ty.

The perfect cameo :clapping
