Finally, the Tigers have come back to the MCG.

After what has seemed like forever the Tigers are finally back at the MCG for a Saturday afternoon game against a Hawthorn side, that has been consistently inconsistent this year, one week they beat top 8 sides in the Saints & Lions, then they get smashed by bottom half of the ladder side like Suns & Carlton. On Sunday they seemingly had their way with the Roos winning by 8 goals, but straight kicking would have seen the margin blowout to 10-12 goals. So what Hawthorn side will we get on Saturday, the one that can beat top 8 sides, or the one that struggles to compete against fellow battlers.

At the same time, we're coming back from a trip to Perth, where we didn't exactly have it all our own way against the Eagles, sure we won comfortably enough, although not enough for some. The Eagles made things difficult by parking the bus and getting plenty of numbers behind the ball. Add to that we struggled to convert once we got inside 50, our final score of 14.14 should have been in the range of 16.12 - 20.8 had we been on our game. Hopefully the short turn around between game will mean that we're up and about from the start.

Possible line up:

Out - M.Rioli McIntosh
In - Mansell Sonsie

B: Grimes Balta Young
HB: D.Rioli Broad Vlastuin
C: Sonsie Taranto Ross
HF: Graham Prestia Baker
F: Miller Martin Riewoldt
R: Soldo Cotchin Bolton
INT: Hopper Mansell Sonsie Banks

Prediction:
Tough hard fought game with the Tigers coming out on top by 4-5 goals if the weather holds, 2-3 goals if it ends up being wet.

VFL report…for possible ins….


positive commentary such as…

  • Cumberland, Mansell and Dow provided the spark…
    [*]Mansell returned from suspension with a 25-disposal, five-tackle performance, as well as kicking two classy goals at crucial times
-Kaelan Bradtke made the most of the opportunities he created in front of goal with strong marking and bodywork, kicking three goals straight
- Noah Cumberland was again lively, booting two goals and being involved in setting up others to Brad Melville and Moey Yassine.




Richmond VFL have bounced back from last week's surprise loss to Sydney with an impressive away victory in Southport on Saturday afternoon.

With the scoring timeline having peaks and troughs not too dissimilar to tonight's high alpine stage in the Tour De France, it was the Tigers who broke away from late in the third quarter to claim the seesawing encounter.

After conceding the opening seven goals of the third quarter to Southport, the Tigers responded with seven of the final eight goals of the game to record a 13-point win, with final scores reading 15.8 (98) to 12.13 (85).

Rhyan Mansell returned from suspension with a 25-disposal, five-tackle performance, as well as kicking two classy goals at crucial times. He was just behind second-year players Tyler Sonsie (27 disposals, six clearance, three tackles, one goal) and Tom Brown (26 touches, two clearances) as the Tigers' leading ball-winners.

Kaelan Bradtke made the most of the opportunities he created in front of goal with strong marking and bodywork, kicking three goals straight, while Noah Cumberland was again lively, booting two goals and being involved in setting up others to Brad Melville and Moey Yassine.

Noah Cumberland breaks a string of 7 consecutive Southport goals to bring the margin back to 15 points.
Bigoa Nyuon was the dominant player on the ground in the second quarter. In the absence of Ivan Soldo and Samson Ryan, his partnership with Sonsie and Thomson Dow in the middle saw the Tigers accelerate towards the half-time break. As the siren sounded for the long change, Nyuon marked and kicked truly to give the visitors a 21-point lead, and finished the game with 18 disposals, ten marks and six inside 50s.

Bigoa Nyuon caps off the perfect first half for the Tigers extending the lead to 21 points at the main break.
Former Gold Coast Sun big man Brayden Crossley must have taken that personally, though, as he led the Sharks to a near-unassailable lead in the third term. Crossley was imperious in the ruck and around the ground with a goal, Jacob Dawson and Boyd Woodcock won plenty of the ball, but it was Jake McQueen (three goals) and Fraser Thurlow (two goals) who were proving to be difficult to stop from capitalising on the scoreboard.

Cumberland, Mansell and Dow provided the spark with three quick, well-taken goals on the verge of the final break.

Thomson Dow ensures an enthralling last quarter is on the cards, as he narrows the margin to 4 points.
Jack Sexton opened the scoring in the final term as Southport re-established a ten-point lead, before Yassine, Matt Coulthard, Bradtke and Judson Clarke piled on four goals in less than eight minutes to seal an incredible win for the Tigers.

The only sour note of the match for Richmond was a leg injury to Garrett McDonagh in the final stages of the last quarter, that saw the 27-year-old on crutches post-game.

Tiges have injuriez?! 🥺
 
It's been 4 years since Navi Fyfe fell on Ross's foot and he's only now just starting to playing to the potential he showed before that.

Sonsie's been mostly shithouse since his injury after being close to best on in the first half of a final.

Even Dow looked alright early in the AFL before he started copping injuries - now he's on track to be delisted.

Has anyone ever missed an entire season from a hamstring (ie. Josh Gibcus)…?
I just can’t recall that, even one ripped from the bone (ie. Lloydo many moons ago)…I just don’t get it…
