2nd quarter

Whites 4.7-31
Black & yellows 1.3-9

[mightytiges]

Half-time:

Whites   4.7-31    G.  Howat, Graham, Harts     
Blacks  2.4-16     G. Meyer

Ground in good nick although there's a very green cricket pitch in the centre which is fairly rough with a gully around the edge filled with sand.

Mostly the young blokes playing. Heaps of fill-ins. Senior boys like Richo, Joel, etc are sitting in the stand watching.

No injuries.

[Mr Magic]

Thanks for the reports.

Do we have any best players yet?

Thanks for the reports.

Do we have any best players yet?

The game is tough to follow with so many fill-ins and young blokes but most of the Richmond boys are doing well with Howat the best so far. Just cementing his promotion to the senior list when it's time.

Blacks made a comeback that quarter.

3/4 Time:

Whites:   5.9-39      G. Howat, Graham, Harts, Pettifer
Blacks:  6.10-46     G. McGuane 2, White, Meyer

Richmond may have unearthed a replacement for injured star midfielder Mark Coughlan after first-year draftee Shayne Edwards made a huge impression in the Tigers' opening intra-club match of 2007 at Wonthaggi on Wednesday.

Edwards, the Tigers' second round pick (26th overall) in last November's NAB AFL draft, was clearly best afield in a game that mostly featured the Tigers youngsters, with coach Terry Wallace resting nearly all of the club's most experienced players.

Edwards, who hails from North Adelaide, won the ball from the centre at will and impressed not only with his pace but also his disposal in the windy conditions.

With Coughlan out for all of 2007 following his second serious knee injury, the Tigers have a vacancy in midfield and Edwards could well be given his chance to press his claims in the upcoming NAB Cup.

 
 
 
 
"I was really pleased with him," Wallace said of Edwards. "He is what the game is about - run and carry. They are the sort of players I like, he showed out."

Wallace used the match to try and determine a pecking order among the Tigers' youngsters and admitted he was surprised by Edwards' performance.

"He played a lot better today than some of the boys that are one two and three years older than him," he said of the 18-year-old.

"He is no certainty to play in the NAB Cup at this stage, but with another good showing next week he is in with a chance."

The Tigers will play a full scale intra-club match next Friday when most of the club's big guns will return, with the bulk of the senior players completing a solid training session before the match at Wonthaggi.

Other players to stand out in the match were fourth round draft pick Daniel Connors, Fremantle recruit Graham Polak - who dominated in defence - as well as rookie Cameron Howat and Brent Hartigan, who is enjoying his best pre-season for years.

Wallace said the Tigers were likely to field a strong side in then NAB Cup with only Coughlan, ruckman Troy Simmonds (ankle), Chris Hyde (groin), Will Thursfield, who is coming back from a knee injury, the only players ruled out at this stage.
