VFL VFL Round 2 v Brisbane, Friday March 29 12:05pm @ Brighton Homes Arena.

Richards first 3 goals all left foot snaps and did it so easy he could have been mistaken for a natural left footer.

Good win by our 2nds

We lost by 2pts . Felt like a win though!

He is all class on both sides.

 

[Brad Goodman]

He’s got all the tricks, footy IQ poise and great on both sides.
But he needs add another position because small fwd is pretty much covered.

Move Beau to the wing to become the next Dipper?

 

[CPH12]

Sullivan can obviously find the footy, which I actually think is an area of need for us as the last few years we have focused more on athletic attributes than footy sense( Harrison, Allan, de mattia, mcinnes).
My question for those who've seen him live would be what his vision, ball use look like, and does he set up positive scoring opportunities.

If you were ever gonna debut a bloke it's Richards this week

In form

Just play him

 

[sr36]

How many positions exist away from the forward line for tiny people whose main asset is goal kicking?

They tried to play him half back in last year's preseason - I'm assuming it was to play it as runner like Nick - more than as a defender.

He’s a better user of the ball than Adam’s and macrae

But come back they did, with Richards kicking two in two minutes to spark them and his fourth for the term and sixth for the game put them within two points at the 37-minute mark of a marathon last term in which Collingwood kicked eight majors to four.

For Collingwood, Richards finished with those six goals without blemish from 18 disposals while Lachie Sullivan and Ned Long shared 60 touches and 18 clearances between them. Jack Bytel had 25 possessions and Harvey Harrison put in a quality shift with 23 touches, seven marks, nine tackles and a goal

I don’t get to watch training or VFL. What’s Richards’ best/likely position and who would you have come out for him?

And which past/present AFL player does he remind you of? Thanks!

I don’t think Sullivan has fluency on both sides with his kicking like Macrae.
It’s one of Finn’s clear strengths.
In traffic Finn has great hands - his low handball to set up Beau’s goal was elite.

Richards seems pretty strictly a small forward. Not sure who would come out for him

I’ll be there.

Damn, have friends coming around to watch the seniors play. No way I can go to game then be back in time.

Fancy putting the game on at 2pm when the seniors start at 5pm.

and was subbed straight after that as i recall.
it was Pendles like, deliberately under the arm of the approaching Brisbane player to put McReery into space

It was elite - and no fluke.
He has great hands.

 

[Rorzza]

Harvey looks like he has reasonable skills with either foot, first class!

Isn't the VFL game against Blues on Sunday 14/4? The seniors have a bye that week.

I do think it's Pendles - rather than Mitchell - that they'll be hoping he can replace. Back of the pack for defensive coverage and to release blokes by hand when he gets it. He's not a ball hunter.

Yeah league wide bye this week. Next week v Carlton. While the afl have a bye but anyone would be available to play in the vfl if they wanted to

The seniors don’t play on that day or that round - we have a bye.

Easter and looking after a sick relative has thrown me right out!

Thanks ElliottsMaggies

Just use my excuse and put it down to an unusual and unwanted senior moment from which you were quick to recover and put behind yourself.
