It's expected to be 16-a-side.

It will be a complete lock-out and without any media present.

Channel Seven will use Wednesday night's practice match of leftover Collingwood and Richmond players to trial virtual technology aimed at enhancing broadcasts at crowd-free games.

AFL and television sources have confirmed that Seven will record a broadcast of the Collingwood versus Richmond "reserves" match at the MCG - expected to be 16-a-side - and will experiment with visual effects that create the appearance of spectators.

Seven will insert artificial crowd noise into the broadcast of Thursday night's Collingwood-Richmond clash at the MCG.

Ch 9 news chopper over the 'G showed some brief vision of a centrebounce where Nank won his own clearance and kicked it long forward.




They also showed the boys kneeling pre-game. Missing were Martyn, Cumberland and Kmac (23rd man for tonight).

Young Tiger Balta impresses in scratch match against Pies

The Age
11 June 2020

Exciting Richmond tall Noah Balta has pushed his claims for an AFL call-up with an eye-catching display in defence in a scratch match against Collingwood.

Players from both clubs not selected for Thursday night's AFL season re-opener took part in a 16-a-side practice game behind closed doors at the MCG on Wednesday night.

Balta, who broke through for 13 senior games last season, was matched up on imposing American Pie Mason Cox and impressed Tigers VFL coach Xavier Clarke.

"He had Cox for 80 or 90 per cent of the game and I thought he did really well," Clarke said.

"He created a great contest and just played a really good game.

"It will be good for his confidence.

"The big thing about Noah is that he's got great explosive speed and power, so he was able to stay [with Cox] and also jump into the contest and make the spoil.

"Obviously he's full of talent, but if he can produce games like that or continue to show glimpses of what he did tonight, then he'll have a bright future."

Clarke rated Balta, Ryan Garthwaite, Thomson Dow, Jack Ross and Toby Nankervis among his best players in the contest that was played over 25-minute quarters in the first half and 16 minutes in the second with no time-on.

Ivan Soldo got the nod ahead of Nankervis for the lone ruck role against the Pies on Thursday night and Clarke was pleased with the competitive edge the dual-premiership ruckman displayed as he tries to win his spot back.

"Nank trains like he's got a point to prove, he doesn't know how to take it down a notch, so he certainly did what he had to," he said.

"He was up against Max Lynch, who I thought created a great contest.

"They went toe-to-toe and I thought as the game went on Nank got better and better and started to find a bit more of the footy.

"I thought he got through really well and did what he needed to."

Any word on how RCD went?

Let’s be realistic, RCD seems to find it hard to win the footy. If this continues he won’t make it.

Wait how did Balta kick four while doing a job on Cox in defence?

Ryan Garthwaite

"'Garthy' was absolutely outstanding. He rarely gives up and his second and third efforts were his highlight. We love what he brings to the Club, he's a competitive beast and it's great to see him play to his strengths."

Bigoa Nyuon

"Continuing to learn the way we play as a defensive system. He's got some amazing attributes as an athlete and he'll be better off for the run and will continue to grow the way he has over the last four months."

Noah Balta

"It's been well-documented that he played a pretty good game, a well-rounded game. He defended really well, he did the simple things well which was pleasing and played his role which was great to see."

Ben Miller

"Ben complements our backline. He sees the way we play really well and helps out with great leadership. He certainly showed glimpses of what he can produce."

Jack Ross

"Was one of our better players of the night. He played majority of his time at half-back, a new role for him. He played really well, he won a lot of the ball and used it well. Also had stints in the midfield."

Derek Eggmolesse-Smith

"Showed some brilliant stuff on the half-back and on the wing. Has got some great skills. Sees the game really well around contests and uses the ball well."

Fraser Turner

"Played wing and half-back. Has benefitted from a full pre-season and put on a bit of size, so he'll continue to grow in that role. Can win the ball and uses it well too."

Toby Nankervis

"We know what we're going to get from 'Nank'. He certainly provided us a contest around the ruck and also up forward. We wrapped him up at three-quarter time but as the game went on, he had more of an impact around the ground."

Riley Collier-Dawkins

"We saw glimpses of what Riley can do really well, that breaking impact and using his strong body. He played a bit of time up forward as well."

Thomson Dow

"A standout. He's an absolute athlete when it comes to his running ability, being able to get from contest to contest. He's tough for a kid not carrying that much weight and won a lot of the footy."

Luke English

"His work rate from contest to contest is his biggest strength and he continues to burrow in which is what we love about him."

Patrick Naish

"Played on the wing and won a lot of the ball. Used his kicking and skills to his strength. Had time at half-back and also drifted forward at times. He is one who can put his hand up and play a role at AFL level without a doubt."

Hugo Ralphsmith

"Played majority of the game up forward. He is still learning the system and has some great attributes. He's got a great mark and abilities, and will continue to grow as a player."

Jake Aarts

"Great to see him run around and compete at the contests. Spent some time around the ball in the midfield. We love the competitiveness he brings and his ability to hunt the opposition and put forward pressure on."

Callum Coleman-Jones

"Took some unbelievable marks around the ground. We know he can be a very good player for us, he can ruck, he can go forward, and he certainly has a great engine. He produced some really nice things."

Mabior Chol

"Played a really good game. His ability now to be able to compete in the contest, jump at the ball and take a mark or bring the ball to ground, has been a highlight. We also know that when the ball does hit the ground, he's very good at ground level as a tall."

Oleg Markov

"Played majority of the game up forward. Had some really good passages of play when he was one-on-one with his direct opponent, bodied him out and used the back space. Once he gets the ball in his hands, he's hard to catch."

Dow was really good in the JLT aswell. Don’t think he’s far off a debut at this rate.
