Richmond VFL coach Steve Morris provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Friday's one-point win over Brisbane at Brighton Homes Arena.

Jacob Bauer (24 disposals, 12 marks, 11 rebound-50s, three goals)

"The absolute complete game from Jacob. He was outstanding down back for three quarters and then went forward and won the game for us off his own boot."

Tom Brown (21 disposals, nine rebound-50s, five marks)

"He's gaining some real momentum, he's in great form. We've continuously seen great decision-making from him and his defence has really improved this season. I'm loving the improved leadership."

Tyler Sonsie (21 disposals, five clearances, four marks, one goal)

"He looked back to near his best on the weekend. He was much more involved in the game and he had a big impact on it."

James Trezise (20 disposals, seven marks, three inside-50s)

"Really liking the way he's going. Clearly, he's got strength overhead for his size, but he wins the ball back for us really well. The next layer to add to his game is his run and carry and line breaking on offence"

Lachlan Street (20 disposals, six marks, five clearances)

"He's been in pretty solid form of late and continued that on the weekend. He didn't do much wrong on the day and was another big part of the reason why we were able to get over the line."

Sam Banks (18 disposals, four tackles, three marks)

"He's just in outstanding form at the moment and played a really good game once again on the weekend. The thing that stood out was he ability to break lines with his speed and beautiful kicking skills."

Angus Hicks (17 disposals, four tackles, three marks)

"He was hot and cold on the day, but his best was very good. The main thing was structural issues, but he used the ball brilliantly on the day and was really important for us late."

Brad Melville (17 disposals, five marks, four inside-50s)

"Another solid game from Brad, he's in good form at the moment and didn't do too much wrong on the day."

Mutaz El Nour (17 disposals, four rebound-50s, two tackles)

"Mutaz had a really good game. I've been really pleased with his last couple of weeks. He was outstanding and was really pivotal in some crucial contests, particularly late in the game."

Thomson Dow (16 disposals, 11 contested possessions, eight clearances)

"Looked really dynamic and led us with eight clearances and 11 contested possessions. The challenge for him is two-fold, one would be to start to get some easy ball rather than having to work for every ball he gets, but also to really damage teams by foot, and that's what we'll be challenging him to do."

Ivan Soldo (13 disposals, 46 hit-outs, four clearances, one goal)

"Was really dominant with his ruck work. He looked physical and big. Still a little bit of rust to dust off, but really pleased with the way he's progressing and looking for him to continue to dominate in the air."

Kaelan Bradtke (11 disposals, six marks, one goal)

"His best game for the season on the back of some real physically. He had the opportunity to kick three or four goals, but he looked strong in the contest and was able to halve a couple of contests that were really important for us."

Luke Teal (10 disposals, three marks, one inside-50)

"Really solid game from him down back. He went at 100 per cent disposal efficiently and certainly didn't make many mistakes at all on the day. He's slotted in as a young player at this level very well."

Cam Olden (10 disposals, eight tackles, three inside-50s)

"Didn't have his most productive offensive day but he continues to show up on defence and that was highlighted with his eight tackles. He probably should have finished with a couple of goals as well."

Matt Coulthard (nine disposals, four inside-50s, three tackles)

"Another exciting performance from Matt. The stats sheet doesn't read overly kindly for the impact that he had on the game. Most pleasingly was his ability to influence the contest in and around the footy late in the game."

Joel Nathan (nine disposals, three marks, one tackle)

"Once again the stat line isn't huge, but I thought he was really important in the first three quarters in bringing the ball to ground. But, it was his defensive efforts late in the game that was sensational."

Bigoa Nyuon (nine disposals, three tackles, two marks)

"Didn't have the impact that we would have liked him to have on the game and that we know he's capable of having. Pleasingly, he's trained extremely well this week off the back of this game and we're expecting big things from him this week."

Harry Broderick (nine disposals, two marks, one rebound-50)

"He's a beautiful ball user and that stood out on the day, he made some really good decisions. He had a couple of really critical contests late in the game that I was really pleased with."

Mykelti Lefau (nine disposals, two marks, two tackles, one goal)

"He brought the ball to ground to the advantage of our crumbers really well on the day. It was special to see some of the beautiful things he did, he's a really unique talent."

Maurice Rioli (nine disposals, eight tackles, three marks)

"Had an equal-game high eight tackles which is something we never question from him. The challenge for him is just to be cleaner with his opportunities."

Austin Johnson (seven disposals, two marks, two rebound-50s)

"Was pretty sore throughout the game and battled on through, which was really important for us. Hopefully he pulls up okay and can have a big influence in the coming weeks for us."

Will Bravo (seven disposals, five tackles, two marks)

"Was a late call-up for us and you know what you're going to get from him in and around contests. There are a few system things that we'll tidy up, but he's a wonderful teammate who hits the contest hard."

Steely Green (six disposals, three tackles, one goal)

"He's playing his role really well and I think he understands that he's getting very close to being able to put it all together. He had the opportunity to finish with four or five goals, and I'm certain that it will come together for him on the scoreboard soon."
