Or when Jack Graham has position a one one on. Took Graham out and Port took the ball.
Good VFL player.
Looks a mile off the player he made himself into last season, just to messy for me, with Georgie a lock in the Kos role I’d like to see some class addded into the small forward role, I won’t be shocked to see MJ quicker then we thought, because Daniel hasn’t been killing it either
in defence of Jake Aarts.
I want him playing VFL for the vast majority of the year, dont get me wrong.
But Ive noticed he has a real connection with Tom Lynch.
Similar to Jack and Danny.
and Big Tom is down on form,
making it very difficult for Jake.
and for the prosecution .....
Zero (0) tackles last night, which is entirely unacceptable from a richmond small forward.
you cant use form or opportunity as an excuse for Zero tackles in his role.
Its laziness, lack of fitness or lack of ability.

VFL footballer in my opinion but with little pressure on his spot - what can you do? Rioli Jr might be a slight chance to play at this rate.
Rarely takes a contested mark. Rarely wins a one on one contest. Rarely lays a tackle and applies little pressure to defenders. Kicks a lucky goal occasionally. VFL player...
Maurice will be a dangerous player.

Lucky he hit that goal cos he burned 2 players in the square to get it. In the gun and he knows it. I don’t want to see him at senior level again
Yeh, that was so selfish. Perhaps a sign of a guy who knows his spot is under pressure and trying to do too much? He burnt dusty with a handpass as well as a couple of other selfish acts. Will be surprised if he holds his spot.
0 tackles not good enough continually jumping in front of the key fowards when he should craming the ground ball....needs to go back to the seconds to find some form.
There weren't a lot of tackles period in last night's game. His form during pre-season was solid, and he was good last year, and unlucky IMO to get dropped as we went into the finals.
However his form in the season proper has been probably worse than patchy. His running data is solid, but if you're watching a game on TV, he doesn't seem to even be in the frame. He got into the frame to stuff Graham up (unfortunately), and i couldn't believe the lack of awareness when he was tackled in the last. He could have given off when he kicked that goal (maybe bad) but his effort to get the ball to ground with Allir Alllir bearing down on him was fantastic.
All in all though, he is doing nowhere near enough at the moment, but i wouldn't write him off.
Maybe Higgo left one season too soon!
