Great write up, agree with all. Just one thing I could’ve sworn Turner had zero touches at qtr time and can’t recall seeing him on the ground before qtr time. Bit of a machine in the way he accumulated and keeps running. Most impressive given its he’s first gallop from a broken leg

Yeah, Turner is one of those types that just seems to revel in getting from contest to contest.

Yep he’s one of those types that flys under the radar a bit- not flashy just does the basics really well. I was so pumped to see Marlion’s first game and Ross’s return that I forgot he was even playing until after quarter time.
 
Hey guys, haven't scrolled through the comments but mate of mine that was at the game reckons pickett was on fire early and looked as tho Casey put a negative forward on him? He's a neutral supporter so no reason for him to lie but he's also a massive piss head so not sure I trust his watch?

Living in tassie I seen quite a bit of Frasers junior footy and posts like this don't surprise me, his strength is probably strangely the reason he slided so far in the draft, he accumulates plenty of footy and is quite tidy by foot but you look at the stats at the end of a game thinking he might have had 15 but it's more like 25. Just quietly goes about his role without doing much wrong. Would have played 22 games if injury free at a few clubs this year imo such is his profesionism

Very good numbers for his first season particularly considering he was one of the youngest drafted.
Good to see him developing his inside game too. Played wing early season but now is getting a little bit of time in the middle and doesn’t look out of place

On Bridge Rd? Yeah that's my local lunch spot at work
Sachin is a wizard, consistently amazing
Yes indeed, amazing, place, Sachin really nice guy
Have to go there more often
1st time yesterday, will go again and again
 
I'd like to see him settle there as he seems to have good pace and moves like a forward. But he hasn't come on as expected.
Absolutely no space for him
To use his pace and athleticism in the forward half there always seemed to be lots of numbers clogging up space.

And we were pretty ugly in the way we delivered the ball into the forward line.

But he is a good mover gets up and down the ground pretty well for a big guy.
 
Greetings.
Awesome to hear Marlion Pickett had a great start as a Tiger. He’s a great story and deserves a good crack at it. Played in every position on the ground last year for SF so could be a weapon for you guys if you need a plug and play come finals time.
I look forward to following your reports on his VFL form in the mean time.

It's a tough gig as a forward in the VFL. The Frosty Miller is usually about 40 goals. Could he be a Riewoldt replacement down the track.

Disappointing to rack up only 10pages on Marlion and 1page combined on the rest of the VFL side and Sachin’s chooks. A waste of a page imo. 😃
I could go 20 pages talking about sachin and his Smokey chooks
 
Fraser Turner

26 disposals, 15 handball receives, seven marks, three inside-50s & four rebound-50s


“Returned after being out for about six weeks and he was straight back into the way he was playing before he went out. Had 26 disposals, he’s just an accumulator of possessions. They were mostly uncontested with a lot of handball receives, he can find the football. It was great to have him back.”

Patrick Naish

26 disposals, 10 handball receives, nine marks, four inside-50s & two rebound-50s


“Played through the wings, high possessions again with 26, 20 uncontested, and was setting the game up from the back half. His use of the ball off half-back is really important in helping us set up. Another good game.”

Derek Eggmolesse-Smith

22 disposals, six marks, five tackles, four spoils, three inside-50s & seven rebound-50s


“Had dash across half-back and was composed. Had seven rebound-50s of his 22 disposals, he was the one that was getting the ball out and using it really well for us, along with five tackles. I really enjoyed his game, it was above the level.”

Toby Nankervis

21 disposals, 34-hit-outs, one goal, five clearances, seven marks (three contested) & four tackles


“Played three quarters of the game this week, or slightly more than that, and got through. Had 21 disposals and 34 hit-outs, four tackles and kicked a goal. He looks ready to put himself up there to play AFL footy again.”

Mav Weller

20 disposals, six tackles, six clearances & three inside-50s


“Played forward and a bit of midfield and just competed really well for us. Was a really strong body in there, leading the team with six tackles.”

Marlion Pickett

20 disposals, one goal, seven handball receives, three tackles & four clearances


Played his first game for the footy club, probably 80% game time, and had 20 disposals. He looked really clean at ground level, he used the ball really smartly, was composed in traffic and kicked a really nice goal. It was great to see him in Richmond colours.”

Callum Coleman-Jones

19 disposals, 17 hit-outs, one goal, nine marks (four contested), four tackles & two clearances


“He's playing career-best footy, playing above the level as a ruck/forward. He was pinch-hitting in the ruck when ‘Nank’ (Toby Nankervis) was off the ground. It’s just his cleanliness in the air and at ground level, he had nine marks of which four were contested. He’s a really nice player in the making for us and kicked a nice goal late in the game.”

Riley Collier-Dawkins

17 disposals, six handball receives, three tackles & five clearances


“Playing midfield, he had 17 disposals which was one of his higher disposal games in a number of weeks. He looked tough in the contest, really strong and physical. I really enjoyed his game with his five clearances, which led the team.”

Kamdyn McIntosh

16 disposals, seven marks, five spoils & five inside-50s


“Played across half-back and a little bit on the wing late. His contest was strong. He was a bit ill 48 hours before the game so it was a really good effort to get up and play and not just play but play well, five spoils led the team.”

Noah Balta

14 disposals, seven handball receives, four marks, two tackles, three inside-50s & three rebound-50s


“Played back, with a little bit of ruck and also through the midfield. He looked really sound defensively and offensively he turned the ball over a little more than we’d like but it’s a work in progress.”

Jake Aarts

14 disposals, eight marks (three contested), two goals, five tackles & four inside-50s


“Back to playing some really good football, kicked 2.1 and had three score assists. His marking was a feature, three contested marks for a small player, and eight in total, was a real highlight.”

Connor Menadue

13 disposals, two goals, four marks & three tackles


“Played forward early and kicked two first-quarter goals and set the game up for us. They (Casey) ended up running with him so we moved him to half-back but certainly in the early part of the game he was our best player and a big reason why the result went our way.”

Jack Ross

12 disposals, four marks, two clearances, three inside-50s & two rebound-50s


“Played the first half as he’s missed two to three months of football. He looked really strong and composed with 12 possessions in a half. We really missed him in the second half, but it was pleasing to see him come back and play some terrific football.”

Ryan Garthwaite

10 disposals, four spoils, three marks & three rebound-50s


“A key defender, hard to play on. He’s looking really sound, he started to mark the ball early in the game and he’s getting the balance between marking and spoiling the ball. He’s one of the premier key defenders in the competition at the moment.”

Luke English

Eight disposals, three tackles & one clearance


“It was difficult for Luke, we had a role for him but we shifted that throughout the game. He played a bit of forward and a bit of midfield. We’ll continue to try and evolve him into the player we want him to be as a midfielder and a forward.”

Oleg Markov

Six disposals, two goals & three marks


“A little bit quiet possession-wise but the game was quite stifling at times which didn’t allow space in the game. But when we did have space in the game he looked threatening and he kicked two goals."

Ben Miller

Six disposals, two goals, three marks & two tackles


“Played as a key forward this week, gave us a good contest and will continue to learn in that role. He finished the game with two goals in the last quarter which was reward for some hard work.”
