One thing's for sure it was good 5-6 years before we saw Shank pull off anything like that 60 metre kick to Faull. Shame Pat Cummins Jr. dropped the sitter.

Not sure how relevant the one sided thing is.
There are countless players past and present who have that as a limitation. Seems to be a easy slap at a left footer.
Agree Dio on that pass. Don’t reckon Jonty realise a tracer bullet can impact the chest from 60m but reckon he knows that now!

Young Tiger pair on the rise
Kane McAuliffe and Kaleb Smith both had strong games on Friday night.

While there is plenty of focus on Richmond’s recent rich national draft haul, with six of the first 23 picks in 2024, and the class of 2021, where the Club had five selections inside the top 30, two Tiger picks in the 40s are starting to show some promising signs at senior level.

Kane McAuliffe, who was recruited by Richmond with its first pick (No. 40 overall) in the 2023 national draft and Kaleb Smith, the Club’s first pick (No. 49 overall) in the 2022 draft, were impressive in last Friday night’s Dreamtime at the ‘G clash.

McAuliffe returned to senior action for the Tigers three weeks ago and has grabbed his opportunity with both hands.

The 20-year-old, left-foot midfielder is averaging 18.3 disposals, 6.3 contested possessions, 3.7 marks, 6.0 tackles, 3.0 inside-50s, 3.7 intercepts, 4.7 score involvements and 225.3 metres gained in his three games at AFL level this season.

He has collected 20 disposals-plus the past two games – 22 v North Melbourne in Round 10 and 21 v Essendon in Round 11.

Along with the 21 disposals against the Bombers, he also had six marks, a team-high six tackles, five intercepts, five score involvements and 189 metres gained.
