I will continue to go each week as I care
Just to clarify
I care about how the kids are going but I don't care about the result.
Because we aren't going to make VFL finals wins or losses right now aren't that important.
Making sure blokes are fit & developing the right way so they are set to go if required at AFL level is what's important IMHO

VFL Tigers downed by Box Hill
By Catherine Durkin
August 2, 2015
Another late fade-out has contributed to a second sizeable loss for Richmond’s VFL squad, going down to Box Hill by 39 points on Saturday afternoon.
While Richmond won the possession count and remained within striking distance in the first half, the Hawks controlled the momentum of the game throughout, building their lead during the third quarter.
VFL coach Tim Clarke put the loss down to a lack of composure around the ground, and an inability to score early.
“The boys’ effort and intensity in the contest was terrific early, we just kicked 1.7 before we kicked a second goal, so it was disappointing that we couldn’t put any scoreboard pressure on again,” he said.
“And then the turnovers, we just kept giving them back the ball. Our boys kept trying but we just kept giving them easy goals and against a really good quality team, which Box Hill is, you just can’t afford to do that.
“A number of different individuals lacked composure at times, but we just need to be better as a group. We need the forwards up the ground and the backs behind the ball to be in better positions. We also need the guy with the footy to make a better call.”
Richmond was held goalless in the first quarter, despite having a large amount of the ball. The Tigers struggled to make the most of their opportunities, creating a litany of turnovers in the midfield, which the Hawks capitalised on.
The first goal of the day came in the opening minutes of the second quarter, when Liam McBean took a strong mark on two Box Hill defenders in the goal square.
McBean went on to kick five goals, the highest of any player on the ground.
The game opened up in the second quarter, but the Hawks managed to gain some ascendency in the third, with Richmond unable to break through Box Hill’s defensive zone to create goals for themselves.
Of the 14 AFL-listed players, Matt Thomas and Matt McDonough were the most notable around the contest. They collected 35 and 27 disposals respectively, but were unable to initiate much offensive movement from their efforts.
Matt Dea (28 possessions) and Jason Castagna (20) were once again instrumental in Richmond’s early rebound off the half-back line, but struggled to impact the game late.
The VFL squad has a bye next weekend, but will return to the ME Centre the following week to play Coburg.

Richmond’s VFL coach Tim Clarke's summary:
Matt Thomas
35 disposals, 15 contested possessions, nine marks, six clearances
Played another strong game through the midfield, picking up 35 disposals, including 15 contested possessions. Continues to use the ball well, and continues to put pressure on our AFL midfield group.
Matt Dea
28 disposals, 11 marks
Was again solid in his defensive role, while also helping to set us up offensively. Is positioning himself really well at the moment and playing some really high-end VFL football. Also is pushing hard for senior selection.
Matt McDonough
27 disposals, 16 contested possessions, five clearances
Returned after a weekend off and provided us with plenty of grunt inside. Finished with an impressive 16 contested possessions and used the ball really well going forward. Another player pressing for a senior opportunity.
Matt Arnot
20 disposals, six marks
Spent two and a half quarters down back and then moved into the midfield during the second half. Gave us a bit of grunt again. Is really starting to develop as a small defender, and we know that he has the ability to go and impact through the midfield. That versatility is starting to really add to his game.
Jason Castagna
20 disposals, seven marks
Is continuing to show what he can do. Had 20 disposals off half-back and provided us with plenty of excitement with his run-and-carry. His ball use, which has been a focus for him over the past two or three weeks, keeps on improving. We’re really looking forward to what he can produce over the final weeks of the season.
David Astbury
15 disposals, six marks
Maintained his impressive critical-contest form, taking several really strong marks. Played two and a half quarters forward and spent the rest of the time in defence. Gave us plenty of stability when he went back there. Set us up well, using the ball as efficiently as I’ve seen from him. If an opportunity opens up at senior level, he’s ready to take it.
Nathan Gordon
15 disposals, six marks
Started the game really well. Played a variety of roles, including half-forward and through the midfield. This versatility is an area of his game that has to be developed. Hit the scoreboard a couple of times, but we needed him to kick more goals if we were going to be competitive in the match.
Reece McKenzie
15 disposals, 10 contested possessions, seven marks
Again showed improvement in the critical-contest area. Hit the scoreboard with three shots for goal, which was pleasing. But it’s critical-contest work that he’s focused on, and it’s been very good from him for several weeks now.
Steven Morris
14 disposals, four marks
Played a really good role for the team as a defender. Was relentless with his defensive work on the opposition players and relentless with his attack on the footy. Also helped set us up offensively. Would like to see him get more of the ball, but his all-round value to the team is significant.
Connor Menadue
13 disposals, nine handball-receives
Very similar to ‘Morro’, played well defensively and helped set us up in a few of our offensive chains, but didn’t get as much of the footy as he had the previous game. It will be a focus of his over the next few weeks, to stay involved in the contest as a half-back.
Dan Butler
12 disposals, seven handball-receives
Ended up playing three quarters, which was pleasing. Played a combination of on-ball and forward. Had more involvement than the previous week, with some really good contest wins. Drove his legs well out of the contest. We’re continuing to work on this with him and we feel that over the next two or three weeks, he’ll start to produce some solid performances.
Liam McBean
12 disposals, six marks, five goals
Was really good in the critical contest. Took three or four strong marks and finished with five goals (5.1), so he was always dangerous deep forward. Is stringing together a top-quality month of AFL-standard footy. We’re excited about the next few weeks for him.
Todd Elton
Nine disposals, four spoils
Had more game time than the previous week. Did a really good job on one of Box Hill’s key forwards, restricting him to just one shot for goal, which came from one of our turnovers. His critical-contest work was back to its best and, hopefully over the next few weeks, we can keep working on his game.
Ivan Soldo
Six disposals, 12 hit-outs
Battled well in the ruck against Jonathon Ceglar, who’s an AFL-standard big man. Had a bit more of the ball than previously and competed well in and around the contest with three tackles, which was pleasing to see in his game.
