Mostly agree. RCD wasn’t too bad. Tackling was very good and defensive pressure. Just don’t think he will be a clearance mid unfortunately.

VFL Round 1 v Southport
- Thread starter spook
- Start date
Positives:
Judson Clarke looked good.
Brown and Sonsie didn't get it alot but looked classy when they did get it.
Cumberland & RCD look senior ready
Biggy is going to be a beast as a defender in the next few years
Negatives:
Our fitness is woeful. We had AFL listed players cramping in the 3rd qtr and looked completely shot by the end of the 3rd. Its the same with the senior team. Completely unacceptable.
Martyn is going backwards as is Caddy
Some of our VFL top up players aren't good enough
Smashed in the clearances
Did I mention fitness - F me it was frustrating.

Sonz will get weeks for a late high hit in the last for mine, (don't think he got reported on the spot), will be surprised if he doesn't get picked up on review
Watching the game, I kept thinking - surely Boyd Woodcock is a tautology? Isn’t a woodcock a boyd?
Cheers. I can't place him but a mate was talking local footy with me today and I thought he mentioned him. The last few years a lot of best local kids are heading up to play in Bendigo because Castlemaine FC is a basket case. So I don't get to see them as much as I used to..
Luckily got away with a fine happened right in front of me and were sure he would cop a couple.

Richmond VFL coach Steve Morris provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Sunday's 31-point Round 1 win over Southport.
Tyler Sonsie (20 disposals, five inside-50s, three clearances, one goal)
"His game was a really solid one on the back of his defence, and then he was able to impact offensively as well."
Rhyan Mansell (19 disposals, seven marks, seven rebound-50s)
"Got back to his ruthless best, his desperation was on show for everyone to see and he got involved offensively too."
Judson Clarke (18 disposals, seven inside-50s, four clearances, one goal)
"Continues to improve, he's getting more involved offensively each week and kicked a sensational goal from outside 50m."
Maurice Rioli Jnr (18 disposals, nine tackles, three inside-50s, one goal)
"Found a lot of the footy on the weekend. His pressure and tackling was outstanding and he took a fantastic overhead mark in the forward line and hit the scoreboard."
Riley Collier-Dawkins (15 disposals, 13 tackles four inside-50s, three clearances, one goal)
"Huge improvement in his defence on the weekend with 13 tackles. It was a great starting point to put in a really solid performance on the weekend."
Noah Cumberland (14 disposals, six tackles, six inside-50s, two goals)
"Hit the scoreboard once again for us and was good overhead, he competes really hard when the ball is in his area."
Josh Caddy (12 disposals, three inside-50s, two marks)
"Hurt his hamstring in the third quarter unfortunately but he led the boys really well on the day."
Tom Brown (11 disposals, five marks, four tackles, three rebound-50s)
"Tom's overhead marking stood out. His one-on-one defence was really good and he continues to improve areas of his game that he's focusing on."
Samson Ryan (11 disposals, 24 hit-outs, five clearances, four marks)
Had a big job up against an experienced ruckman and really battled hard on the day. He continues to have a big impact in the air and is getting better every week.
Will Martyn (11 disposals, three tackles, three rebound-50s, three marks)
"Over the past couple of weeks (in practice matches), Will has gone back at times and he looks really comfortable there. He has great attention to detail and his physicality has been a standout."
Sydney Stack (11 disposals, four marks, three tackles, two goals)
"Started down back and approached the game really positively. He then swung forward and not only did he hit the scoreboard, but he put immense pressure on up forward."
Sam Banks (10 disposals, two marks, one goal)
"It was fantastic to see Sam out playing for the first time in a long time. He played his wing role superbly and kicked his first goal in the Yellow and Black."
Bigoa Nyuon (eight disposals, four marks)
"Had a really positive game. He impacted in the air with big spoils and also took a couple of impressive intercept marks."
