The VFL Tigers will set out to continue their strong pre-season form when they host Collingwood at Punt Road Oval on Thursday.

It marks Richmond VFL’s third practice match, and will be played as a curtain-raiser to the Tigers' AFL clash against the Pies at the MCG.

Richmond defender Steven Morris has been named in the 27-man squad and will play his first game since Round 11 of the 2016 AFL season.

Morris, 28, ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will make his long-awaited return tomorrow afternoon, via the VFL.

The side also welcomes Sam Lloyd, Taylor Hunt and Kamdyn McIntosh, who have returned from senior duties.

Can't wait to see Garthwaite replace the Giraffe. Big wraps on him.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Bolton named despite being suspended. Mustn't be eligible for VFL round 1 selection.

 

[guruisatiger]

Hopefully someone can give scores and updates. ( will be at work can't do it).
Hopefully all our afl listed players play well and no injuries

Can't wait to see Garthwaite replace the Giraffe. Big wraps on him.

I got to the game at 1/4 time last week and I didn't see him get a possession and he got his ass handed to him by Mackay. Don't get your hopes up too high atm.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Still can't believe this comp is an 18 game season, starting after every other comp is terrible, should be a 20 game season and it should be kicking off this weekend.

I'm not sure how long Mackay has been on an afl list , but in fairness to Garthwaite hopefully he will be better for the run.

In fairness, McKay has been in the system an extra 12 months, is 10kgs and about 8cms bigger. How many games has Garth played?

Should align with AFL preseason and regular season, except finals finish 1 week earlier... logic

Menadue starting in the guts.
Interesting.
Like some updates on how he goes with that!

Like some updates on how he goes with that!

Think its Nostradumbass ,s turn this week too go to the game and give live updates.

 

[NimFromSudan]

Townsend kicked the first goal. Front and square of a contest 30m out. Bit of a fend off and a mongrel kick.

 

[sante]

Lloyd and Miles dominating early

Lloyd and Miles dominating early

Wouldn't surprise me, and if players don't perform tonight they should get straight back in. I'd like us to have the balls to continually drop underperforming players for players performing at the lower level. It's keeps a level of enthusiasm within the group and keeps them competitive. If you dominate in the VFL and don't get selected you eventually drop your head.

 

[Komrade_Tiger]

Whats going on with C.Moore though, he isn't playing VFL this week and he isn't on the injury list

 

[NimFromSudan]

Stengle delivers to Townsend deep in the pocket. He nails the set shot banana. 3.0 18 leads 1.0 6
Goals
2 Townsend
1 VFL listed #57

Within reason. Top sides have reasonably settled teams and as we know, not all players are equal.

I follow Williamstown mate, sorry.

Of course, once we settle on a close to best 22, then changes don't happen as often but still happen. We want to make sure players aren't continually played out of form and players are rewarded for good form at the lower level.

 

[NimFromSudan]

Chol misses set shot from the pocket.

25-18 now. #57 kicked a second a couple mins ago

That's why I said atm

Played there the whole game last week

 

[sante]

It's a worry that we have no key defenders in the VFL. Garthwaite is same size as Batch

 

[exceptional design]

Chhhhhhhhhhhhhhol!

 

[NimFromSudan]

Chol and McIntosh kicks goals late in the piece.

Tiges lead 6.2 (38) to 5.1 (31)

McIntosh and Lloyd in the best for mine
