everyone can kick long if you work hard enough

Jack and Martin are 2 of the best contested forwards in the game get it to them forward more often and they will create more scoring opportunities, pretty simple really

Are you suggesting we should kick sideways and backwards even more? :eek: :p

If Richmond kick any more backwards in 2017 than they did this year they would start traveling backwards in time. On a positive note, by the end of the year we would be able to celebrate the 1980 premiership again which would be quite nice

maybe that's the solution to our problems and Dimma is in reality a genius. Going back in time and stealing all the stars of yester-year :p

From ward of the state to an AFL footballer - Tyson Stengle's story is an inspiring one bit.ly/2hlyfSn


MELBOURNE25–32°C

AT the age of just four, Tyson Stengle was removed from the care of his young parents by the state and taken in by his grandmother.

After a bumpy start, the youngster discovered Aussie Rules football and is now living every young man’s dream after being drafted to the AFL.

The 18-year-old will next year don the number 44 guernsey for the Richmond Tigers, 10 years after he first stepped on to a football field.

In an attempt to give Tyson and his older brother Anthony, now 19, some structure in their early years, they were enrolled at the local footy club and “that’s where it all started”, says grandfather Cecil Betts.

“They were only grasshoppers, we got them signed up and they played over 100 games for Portland Football Club,” he said.

“We needed to give them a different life. Football is a good thing, get them into sport, with the rules and regulations. I don’t think Tyson missed a training session.”

The boys were raised by their grandmother Debra until she passed away and have lived with their Nan and Pop, Emily and Cecil Betts, for the past four years.

Mr Betts recalls it was a rough start in life for the pair.

“Things took a turn for the worse (with their parents) and we wanted the kids to be in good care,” he said.

“But bad things can make you stronger. We know the road that they took and Tyson went through some things in his life but there’s a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.”

Tyson — who maintains contact with his mother — rose through the ranks of junior football, playing for the Port Magpies’ development squad and later the Woodville West Torrens Eagles.

Next year the small forward, who kicked a career-best 49 goals in 2015, will join up with Richmond.

Oh oh...did we do our due diligence here in recruiting Tyson?!?...or will we end up with another Yarran scenario?!?

You're probably being flippantly sarcastic but there is a fair difference
Tyson is a speculative rookie pick without expectations from the supporters just hope...whereas Yarran was a very high profile trade at pick #19 on big bucks and having the hopes of the tiger army on his shoulders

It's almost like people are drawing conclusion between two people on the nature of their ethnicity

You might even call those people bigots if you wanted to link someone's actual action with something

Really like the sound of Shai Bolton but this guy might be a real bonus...

Very much looking forward to seeing him & the two Dan's on Saturday.
