Yeh, he can't break away from a contest but wins plenty of 50/50 ball and his little gives are very good.
I do understand why he is not in the AFL side though. He simply can't keep up for 4 quarters at AFL pace.
I went today. Sun shining made it a prefect day.
Spook has nailed it. Don’t disagree with any of it besides Lennon, thought he got to good spots and didn’t get fully rewarded.
Actually thought Griffiths looked fresh and ready to go. I’d be tempted to put him in next week.
And Smith has some serious talent. I’d rookie him for sure. Linebreakers from the back half are everything.

It's worth considering because of the last Aints match. Billy Longer gave Nank a real touch-up; as much as almost any opponent all year. I doubt he would get into Hampson at the centre bounces as much. The question mark is probably whether H has the strength and match fitness yet, although he looks fit in footage, quite lean fit.
Maybe another week in the VFL first?

Likewise have been calling for his selection for the latter half of the season or earlier. Especially when JR was out for two weeks. Ideal time to try him.
Castagna another 8 possie game, in a 100 point win today! Moore is much bigger, at least as fast, runs hard, competes hard, chases and tackles hard. But he can also really take a mark. Longer kick and probably more accurate.
Why on earth won't we give this guy a go? Can play wing, back or forward. End the farce!
I doubt there's ever been a better game ever by a Richmond VFL player than Lloyd's yesterday..yet it still probably won't be enough to see him promoted to the senior side.
C Ellis started like a house on fire in the midfield before being moved to the flanks. Bit quieter after that but really liked his game. Was at the bottom of packs and involved in excellent link play when in the midfield. Looked to be smarting at his demotion but in a positive way.
Griffiths. Got through very well. Competed strongly in the air. Given our results yesterday in the seniors though I'm not sure he'll get back but gives us an option.
Hammer was very good but sensational late in the game. Dominated hitouts marked everything. With a contract for next season, it's great to see him back on the park even if he takes no part this year.
Conca. Tried very hard and was heavily involved but looked like a player trying to rediscover touch & fitness. Can't see him forcing his way in this late.
Short. Was excellent. Putting his hand up but it'll be hard.
Miles. Got a heap of it as usual. Hurt factor not high but is clearly above this level.
Garthwaite. Excellent defender. Just does everything right. Attacking game will still require some work if he's to make it as an AFL player.
Stengle. Just a footballer. Class. Won't be surprised to see him upgraded to the senior list in 2018.
Shai just did Shai things. Going to be a very good player for many years.
Elton. Won't be on the list next season.
Morris. Half a step behind for much of the day. Think he's on the way out.
Menadue. At his best when he's running with ball in hand. Just didn't do it enough yesterday but catches your eye when he does. Will be a player.
Batchelor. Disagree with spook here. Very slow in his ball use on many occasions. Another off the list next season IMO.
Chol. Looks much better in the back half when accountable and ball coming towards him. Liked his game. Should get another year..
Lennon. What he does he does well. This is his level. He'd have been a VFL star in 1986.
Agree with caesar/spook here, Cal Moore is the main one to watch. We should be offering him a spot on the senior list next year or another team will.

Oldie, I had Lloyd a clear BOG, Batch about 5th or 6th best. He made some poor handballs in the first quarter but after that he was quite creative I thought. The 25 metre handball from CHB to the wing to set up one of Lennon's second quarter goals an example.

Sorry spook yeah I edited that BOG comment. Sorry but I didn't really rate Batch's game as high as you.
Corey Ellis had 3 effective kicks for the game. Yes, 17 effective handballs but I thought he was pretty average overall. Wouldn't have been in my top 6 tigers.
If he can't put on some beef he will not make it as he will not get enough contested ball and his lack of athleticism will prevent him getting enough outside ball.
