Richmond VFL defeated Coburg by 16 points, 14.8 (92) to 12.4 (76) in their second official practice match of the pre-season on Saturday afternoon.

Josh Pollocks was potent early, registering two goals in the opening term and finishing with three for the afternoon.

Livewire forward Mohammad Yassine was impressive in his return from injury with two goals.

After earning the praise of coach Jake Batchelor after the side’s first practice match against Collingwood VFL last Thursday morning, Massimo Raso was once again impressive for the VFL Tigers three goals, as was Sam Toner, who also booted three majors.

Nick Girolami, the side’s stand-in skipper for the day, said Yassine, Toner and Raso “put countless hours in during the week with their forward craft.”

“Once again they do the work, and it pays off,” Girolami said.

Girolami added, “It’s always good to get the first win of the season.”

“The boys did well, and it shows the work of the pre-season is paying off,” he said.

‘It’s pretty special, it’s probably the only time this year we’ll have a full VFL-listed side…I enjoyed it heaps, and I know all the boys did as well.

"It just means we've got heaps of depth and talent in our list."

In his first outing at VFL level, Reuben Hanson was impressive as a key defender, while Nicholas Collier was strong in defence.

Tom McCarthy also starred for the VFL Tigers.

Richmond VFL look ahead to their third-and-final practice match against Carlton, next Friday, March 14 at IKON Park from 11:00am.
