Slippery's match report:

https://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/1372185/vfl-report-round-15   :shh
Our AFL-listers:

Jacob Bauer (24 disposals, 12 marks, 11 rebound-50s, three goals)

"The absolute complete game from Jacob. He was outstanding down back for three quarters and then went forward and won the game for us off his own boot."


Tom Brown (21 disposals, nine rebound-50s, five marks)

"He's gaining some real momentum, he's in great form. We've continuously seen great decision-making from him and his defence has really improved this season. I'm loving the improved leadership."


Tyler Sonsie (21 disposals, five clearances, four marks, one goal)

"He looked back to near his best on the weekend. He was much more involved in the game and he had a big impact on it."


James Trezise (20 disposals, seven marks, three inside-50s)

"Really liking the way he's going. Clearly, he's got strength overhead for his size, but he wins the ball back for us really well. The next layer to add to his game is his run and carry and line breaking on offence"


Sam Banks (18 disposals, four tackles, three marks)

"He's just in outstanding form at the moment and played a really good game once again on the weekend. The thing that stood out was he ability to break lines with his speed and beautiful kicking skills."


Thomson Dow (16 disposals, 11 contested possessions, eight clearances)

"Looked really dynamic and led us with eight clearances and 11 contested possessions. The challenge for him is two-fold, one would be to start to get some easy ball rather than having to work for every ball he gets, but also to really damage teams by foot, and that's what we'll be challenging him to do."


Ivan Soldo (13 disposals, 46 hit-outs, four clearances, one goal)

"Was really dominant with his ruck work. He looked physical and big. Still a little bit of rust to dust off, but really pleased with the way he's progressing and looking for him to continue to dominate in the air."


Kaelan Bradtke (11 disposals, six marks, one goal)

"His best game for the season on the back of some real physically. He had the opportunity to kick three or four goals, but he looked strong in the contest and was able to halve a couple of contests that were really important for us."


Matt Coulthard (nine disposals, four inside-50s, three tackles)

"Another exciting performance from Matt. The stats sheet doesn't read overly kindly for the impact that he had on the game. Most pleasingly was his ability to influence the contest in and around the footy late in the game."


Bigoa Nyuon (nine disposals, three tackles, two marks)

"Didn't have the impact that we would have liked him to have on the game and that we know he's capable of having. Pleasingly, he's trained extremely well this week off the back of this game and we're expecting big things from him this week."


Maurice Rioli (nine disposals, eight tackles, three marks)

"Had an equal-game high eight tackles which is something we never question from him. The challenge for him is just to be cleaner with his opportunities."


Steely Green (six disposals, three tackles, one goal)

"He's playing his role really well and I think he understands that he's getting very close to being able to put it all together. He had the opportunity to finish with four or five goals, and I'm certain that it will come together for him on the scoreboard soon."
