Yeah he had a good game. Dusty was quiet. Cotch was good all night too.

[Slipper]

I thought Higgins was really good for us tonight.

Did a lot of little things that really helped the side.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Fantastic to see Shed play well on such an important occasion for him & the team.  C.Moore showed A LOT tonight. Good boy 

A step in the right direction for Menadue & the leaders were fantastic across the board.

And boy oh boy, didn't Brandon Ellis shut a few complete muppets up  That effort at the start of the 4th quarter summed up what he & Richmond are all about.

[Lebowski]

A few of the boys are starting to find some form now

Thought our best were Edwards, Short, Rance, Butler, Conca, Ellis, Martin

BEllis is important to us when he plays well and to his strengths. The last 2 weeks have been encouraging.
Edwards is going next level
The defence overall are looking more balanced and settled the past few weeks. Feel better when Grimes is back in
Butler had his best game of the season tonight, was very very good
Higgins was busy - lacking a bit of polish but he a tenacious little nugget
Menadue looked more comfortable and importantly his positioning was good, wasnt a weak link in our structures
Moore was very encouraging and him playing well gives the opposition something else to think about
Conca was good tonight, more of that please

The most important thing we are showing is that there is a distinctive style to our play that we are attempting each week. When it works for 100 minutes, we absolutely flog mediocre sides like Essendon.
I’m keen to see how we go in the next 2 weeks before the bye. The really good kicking sides have smashed us so far this year. Port are highly skilled but fell apart when the Hawks applied the heat yesterday.
Let’s see what happens against us on their home deck

It was a great win last night and all players played their role and our pressure was back to late 2017
