Richmond VFL coach Steve Morris provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in Sunday's Round 2 match against Sandringham. 

Tyler Sonsie (34 disposals, 10 clearances, seven tackles, eight rebound-50s, two score-assists, one goal)

"Had huge clearance and contested ball numbers. It was also pleasing to see him really improve his defensive intent with seven tackles, and he had a classy finish in front of goal."

Riley Collier-Dawkins (24 disposals, six tackles, six clearances)

"Really high contested possessions and for the second week in a row, stepped in to tackle with intent. He's continuing his good form."

Rhyan Mansell (23 disposals, nine marks, five inside-50s)

"Attacked the contest with ferocity all day. He worked hard and found plenty of the footy as well."

Will Martyn (19 disposals, seven marks, one goal)

"I really liked Will's game. His attitude was outstanding and has been for a number of weeks as he learns a new role. But he also went in and had an impact in the middle when he got his chance."

Lachlan Street (19 disposals, seven clearances, six tackles, one goal)

"Led the team well. He was strong in the contest and fought hard on the day with a really classy finish to go with it."

Judson Clarke (18 disposals, six inside-50s, five clearances)

"Found plenty of the footy. He probably was not quite as clean as he would like, but he continues to take steps forward."

Angus Hicks (17 disposals, nine tackles, three clearances)

"Found a fair bit of the footy and battled his backside off with nine tackles. He found himself down back at times which was new role for him."

Sam Banks (13 disposals, four clearances)

"Still on limited minutes. He probably he had less of an impact this week but he's still taking steps forward."

Noah Cumberland (13 disposals, five tackles, one goal)

"We tried him up and around the footy a little bit more, and he probably had a quieter day. It was a good day for him to continue learning different aspects of his game."

Samson Ryan (12 disposals, 36 hit-outs, four marks, one goal)

"Battled really hard all day against an experienced ruckman. He had 36 hit-outs, took a strong overhead mark and finished in front of goals. He's progressing really nicely."

Austin Johnson (12 disposals, four tackles, three clearances)

"Played really well on debut. He was one of our cleaner players on the day and he played his role really well on the wing."

Tom Brown (12 disposals, three marks, three inside-50s)

"He showed glimpses of his class on the weekend, but probably let himself down a little bit with his positioning and contest work which is a real focus for him."

Bigoa Nyuon (11 disposals, six marks, four rebound-50s)

"He had a great day with some really impactful spoils, clearing the first layer. He battled hard down back under serious pressure and it was a strong outing for him."

Mykelti Lefau (11 disposals, five tackles)

"Took a couple of really strong contested marks. He didn't finish his work off in front of goal, but he tried hard all day."

Ben Miller (nine disposals, five marks, three rebound-50s)

"Was a little bit quieter on the weekend. He didn't have much of an offensive input, but we saw what he can do the previous week at AFL level."

Cam Olden (eight disposals, three tackles)

"Was a little bit quieter on the weekend on a tough day for forwards."

Bailey Henderson (eight disposals, five tackles)

"He started down back before going onto a wing and probably didn't have the impact that he would have liked on the game."

Jackson Davies (seven disposals, three tackles)

"He tried extremely hard down back on a tough day under immense pressure and held his opponent relatively quiet."

Maurice Rioli (six disposals, three inside-50s, two clearances)

"A lot quieter than he was in previous weeks. He received a fair bit of attention and struggled to work his way into the game."

John Jorgensen (four disposals)

"Tried hard up forward on a tough day for tall forwards and was often outnumbered in our forward line."

Matt Bartlett (four disposals, four tackles)

"It was a pretty quiet day for Matt. He had a few good efforts on defence but will look to impact more next week."

Will Bravo (three disposals, three tackles)

"Attacks the contest hard but would like to have a greater offensive input."

Nathan Oakes (three disposals, three tackles, two clearances)

"Was badly corked in the third quarter and struggled to run out the game, but had a couple of good moments early in the match."
