Hugo runs well and got a nice foot on him but just doesn't get enough football to stay on the list, right?

C'mon mate .... knock it off. Possessions, goals etc. are superfluous ... HE'S THERE TO GUARD SPACE.
It's the Castagna defence.

6 disposals & 3 goals today spent the whole game as a forward

6 disposals & 3 goals today spent the whole game as a forward

Yes, but can he guard space?? That's more important than three goals, as the seniors continue to craft out another nil-all draw or 1-1 all draw in Perth.or

 

[Rubber Hips]

Good win by the lads….Naish, RCD, Martyn, Ryan, Egg, Morro, McDonagh MRJ my bests

watched the 2nd half at the ground…good to see the twos in action

 

[wegetpumped]

Is that one of those sign ups that they still want your cc details

They do but you can tick on the signup page not to contact you and they won't. Bit of a gimmick trying to coax people into the service.

 

[Grrr]

Biggy not playing in the last?

Didn't play the last half I think. Pity because he was playing really well. He has so much to work with and most importantly he showed pretty good composure with the ball.

We are gunna need a few of them
No point playing the same disinterested blokes
Wow that was very disappointing

 

[Grrr]

Cumberland looks dangerous every time he gets near it.

Cumberland looks dangerous every time he gets near it.

I thought don’t rush him but our senior forward line is so woeful he deserves a chance

 

[Charlie Pannam]

We may as well play Cumberland now. Regardless of whether his fitness is quite where it needs to be, he has all the small / medium forward qualities our current 2 small forwards lack.

Creates opportunities from nothing, and is dynamic in the air and on the ground.

Thought Martyn was very good again today. Wouldn’t mind seeing him again before the years out to see if he’s improved. Looked horribly out of his depth against Port but it’d be worth seeing him alongside Prestia, Shedda, Cotch

I’d give Martyn a go first , I’m prepared to be patient with cumbo given he’s only played 5 games post ACL , great to see he’s showing something

 

[Bojangles17]

Mrj should be given a game ,

Report from the game on the clubs website


After being pummelled by arctic blasts for the best part of a month, Melbourne turned on a sparkling winter’s day at Skybus Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The ever-changing nature of the 2021 VFL season meant that Frankston and Richmond remerged from a two-week hiatus for their Round 16 clash.

Richmond weathered a barrage of Dolphins’ pressure and inflicted a fair amount of its own, running over the top of its hosts by 16 points.


Down a rotation minutes before the opening bounce, the Tigers had to manage injuries during the game and in the end, their heart got them over the line, the final score reading 15.9 (99) to 12.11 (83).

The multidimensional forward line, headed by Noah Cumberland and Hugo Ralphsmith, were potent and manic once the ball hit the deck, ensuring it either stayed in Richmond’s forward half or exited under maximum pressure.

Samson Ryan was herculean, kicking two crucial goals in the final quarter and playing a sole hand in the ruck.

Ryan was pitted against an experienced ruckman, but steeled himself, getting his hand to the ball and feeding the midfielders at his feet.

A collective nine goals were kicked in a frenetic last quarter, Richmond jagging five and Frankston four, with the budding Tigers holding off their more seasoned opponent.

The Tigers started sluggishly, as Frankston jumped to an early lead with a goal in the opening minute, with a bevy of Dolphins lining up in the corridor.

The Dolphins owned the opening minutes, with Richmond struggling to get any flash or flow into its game.

Luckily for the Tigers, Frankston failed to capitalise on its dominance in general play, and the visitors made them pay.

Richmond went on a 10-minute tear, netting four unanswered goals, two each to emerging youngsters, Cumberland and Ralphsmith.

Richmond’s first was kicked by Ralphsmith, with the dashing wingman deployed as a deep forward, a swooped on a loose ball inside 50 and snapped truly.

Cumberland, fresh off five goals a fortnight earlier against Collingwood, showcased his grunt and potency inside 50 with a quick snap from congestion for the Tigers’ second goal.

Cumberland displayed his grunt and tenacity with his second goal, trapping a Dolphins’ defender at the top of the goal square where he was justly rewarded with a free-kick and goal.

Ralphsmith’s second goal came via a set-shot after marking sharply on the lead.

The Tigers led by 11 points at quarter time.

The pressure went up a notch in the second term, as Frankston played the role of niggling host.

Cumberland waltzed into an open goal, kicking the opening goal of the quarter, taking his haul to three after 40 minutes of football.

Will Martyn and Riley Collier-Dawkins started to exert their influence around the ball and in transition, with both providing good balance inside and outside the contest.

The pair are pushing their claim for a senior recall, and their opening-half performance wouldn’t have done their claims any harm.

Martyn was a battering ram and showcased his poise with ball in hand, streaming forward from multiple centre bounces.

Collier-Dawkins was a bull, rarely lost his feet in the contest, kept his hands free and set-up his teammates on the outside.

They were handsomely supported by pocket dynamo, Maurice Rioli, whose influence on games has grown as the year has ticked on.

Rioli’s ferocity at the man and ball are likeable traits, and his decision making in traffic by hand or foot cannot be underestimated. He’s quick to pounce and attempt to win the ball back, which he’s usually successful at.

A three-goal-to-two second term extended the Tigers' lead to 18 points at the main break.

Bigoa Nyuon suited up for just his fifth game with premiership points on the line, and after a solid day out last time against Collingwood, he looked to grow from that performance against Frankston.

His scope looks infinite and possesses the traits to be moulded into a very capable key defender at AFL level.

The athletic big man’s situational understanding of where to deploy himself and where he’s best utilised is growing by the week.

He left the field midway through the third term with an eye injury and didn’t re-emerge.

Pressure in the third quarter was just as high, as the Dolphins cut the deficit to just eight points heading into the final term.

had a tweak in his role this week, spending time at the centre bounce, splitting his time between midfield and wing.

Naish’s ability to win the contested ball and get on the fly at the centre bounce and at stoppages was a real weapon at times.

The dynamic Tiger kick started the road to victory, slotting a set-shot from beyond the boundary and the paint of 50, underlining his skill and ability to execute in big moments.

Richmond stretched its lead to 30-points midway through the last quarter before the Dolphins booted two in a row, including one on the siren, but to no avail.

The Dolphins came at Richmond from all angles, but Richmond matched them in the contest and then inflicted maximum damage inside 50.

Can we pick up Jack Scanlon? 68 possessions has to be some kind of record. Steve Morris turning the clock back too. Gee whiz Cumberland!

 

[austyn08]

Actually saw naish hit a real tackle. Still have doubts but if he can make some presence when he hasn't got the ball we might have something.
His leg is a weapon and we need it.

 

[Football Tragic]

I watched the game too. Thought Hugo was a level above with his leading, footskills and work ethic. Ryan was also a standout - so strong overhead and developing ruckwork. He smashes the packs too and ran all day. RCD was solid though has developed an overhead handball tactic which becomes too easy for opposition mids to predict. Naish got plenty of the ball but didn't do much with it for mine.

Naish really had nobody to kick it too, no forward above Ralphsmith's height.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Some really good signs frm the loks of it to players we need to take a step up in 2022
Naish , Ralph , Biggy , Matyn and Samson

keep building talent tigers

(33 disposals, six inside-50s, six tackles, one goal)

"Found a lot of the footy all day. Was great to see him have six tackles and a superb finish from the boundary in the last quarter at a really important stage of the game."

Derek Eggmolesse-Smith (29 disposals, 11 rebound 50s, five marks)

"Derek had a great game, he got better as the game went on. His ball-use was outstanding as always and his voice has been a real highlight setting us up behind the footy."

Riley Collier-Dawkins (27 disposals, six clearances, three tackles)

"Was outstanding in the middle of the ground with six clearances. He was really important, providing a big body to bash and crash all day against a strong midfield."

Will Martyn (25 disposals, nine marks, seven tackles, two score assists)

"Continues to throw himself into the contest. Found a lot of the footy again on the weekend and continued to persevere and tackle and put pressure on defensively. He's tracking really well."
ed forward, ruck, midfield and down back when needed. He was outstanding once again, and continues to be a solid presence from us and led from the front."

Samson Ryan (14 disposals, two goals, 39 hit-outs, eight tackles)

"Kicked two goals for the day and probably could have had a third. It was important that he competed strongly in the ruck and he did a really good job. Also had eight tackles which was a highlight."

Maurice Rioli Jnr (11 disposals, eight tackles, three clearances)

"Put sensational pressure on all day. It was really important that he was able to fight through injury and come back and really have an impact for us on the ground after hurting his ankle, which is a sign of his maturity."

Noah Cumberland (nine disposals, three goals, five tackles)

"Could've had four goals in the first half. He competed really hard for us, we were undersized in the forward line and needed him to compete, and that's what he did. He had a great game for us."

Hugo Ralphsmith (eight disposals, three goals, three marks)

"Had a quiet game by his standards but importantly, he was able to hit the scoreboard with three goals. So, we'll certainly take that, and look for him to have an even greater impact next week."

Bigoa Nyuon (eight disposals, four marks)

'Biggy' had a sensational first half. Unfortunately, he copped a poke to the eye in the third quarter and that saw him sit out the remainder of the game, but he was really important for us."

if we can, id get another game into Samson Ryan by the end of the year. Can't let his senior performance be a nil toucher & makes far more sense debuting him in a game alongside Toby to direct him.

Good call, I’d like to see him, Cumberland and Miller all get a run in last 2 games if possible
And get RCD back in there ffs
