Richmond development coach Andrew McQualter provides an exclusive summary of the AFL and VFL-listed players who featured in last Sunday's 37-point win over Geelong.

AFL-listed

Kane Lambert
36 disposals, eight marks, eight clearances, four tackles, one goal

For the second week in-a-row he had a massive game, mainly through his workrate. He had 14 contested possessions, eight clearances and four tackles, which shows how many contests he was able to get to.

Adam Marcon
29 disposals, two goals, 11 tackles, five clearances, 14 handball receives

Had a significant impact on the game. He was one of our best players through workrate all day and was able to kick two goals which was nice, as well as his 11 tackles.

Reece Conca
27 disposals, 10 handball receives, five tackles

Was solid all day playing through the midfield and half-back. Played about a half of each and played pretty well without dominating the game. It was a good return.

Jason Castagna
20 disposals, 12 handball receives, one goal

Played a half through the midfield and a half at half-back. Another solid game from “Jase”. He just keeps working hard. Turns up to a lot of contests and uses his side-step to get out. I thought he was pretty clean with the ball.

Connor Menadue
20 disposals, 12 handball receives, four tackles

Showed some really good signs. Played mid, wing and half-back and he shows a lot of AFL traits, we just need to keep seeing more of it. We’d like to see him kick the ball a bit more.

Jacob Townsend
20 disposals, nine tackles, three clearances, one goal

“Towner” played half through the midfield and half at half-forward. I thought he was really strong aerially throughout the day — took some really nice marks. And his defensive pressure was the standard it always is with nine tackles.

Nathan Broad
19 disposals, 11 handball receives, five inside 50s

“Broady’s” in a real great patch of form at the moment down back. He’s probably our most sturdy defender. He’s been able to stop so many attacks and has been able to provide some offensive rebound.

Liam McBean
15 disposals, five marks, three tackles, one goal

Liam had a day where I guess he could have ended up with five goals pretty easily. He was working hard for most of the day. He provided an option for the guys going forward. To finish with 1.3 was a bit disappointing. He certainly showed some good signs.

Dan Butler
14 disposals, one goal, two tackles

I though Dan had another good game to go with his last three or four. He’s in a good patch at the moment. He’s working really hard. His game revolves around defence and pressure. Again, if he finished off his work, he could have had a really good game.

Corey Ellis
12 disposals, seven handball receives, three clearances

Was probably a little bit down on what we usually expect from him. He didn’t make many mistakes, as he doesn’t often do, but he probably just didn’t have enough impact on the game. He played through mid and half-back.

Ivan Maric
37 hit-outs, 12 disposals, four marks

I thought Ivan Maric played his best game for the season in our VFL team. I thought the dominance he was able to have in the ruck was noticeable and gave our mids first-use all day.

Callum Moore
10 disposals, five marks, four tackles

Was really solid all day — provided an option. He shows lots of athletic prowess. He played mostly forward, and was down back for a little bit and is showing some good signs and improving each week.

Mabior Chol
Eight disposals, two marks, three tackles

“Marbs” had his best game for a while I thought. He just shows some signs that he’s above VFL level. For “Marbs”, it’s just about consistency over four quarters, but shows some really exciting signs.

Todd Elton
Two goals, eight disposals, five marks, four tackles

I thought “Toddy” Elton provided a great contest all day. Probably didn’t have as bigger impact as he’s had in previous weeks, but I don’t think he got beaten in any contest and certainly played like a big man.

Ivan Soldo
21 hit-outs, six disposals, three clearances, two tackles

I thought Ivan Soldo was again very good in the ruck chopping out Ivan Maric. I thought between the two of them we were able to get some real ascendancy in the hit-outs and around the clearances.

VFL-listed

Sam Darley
26 disposals, 12 handball receives, three tackles

Was really good in the backline all day. He’s just a really consistent for us — kicks the ball really well and is setting up the rest of our defenders well.

Jacob Ballard
20 disposals, 14 contested possessions, five clearances, three tackles

Played half forward and half midfield, with the amount of mids we had in the side. We really like him when he plays deep forward — he looks really dangerous. He had a good impact on the game.

Tom Silvestro
20 disposals, six clearances, 10 contested possessions

Was our workhorse again. Just running up and down the wing all day. Played a little bit at half-forward as well. He had a good impact when he came into the midfield and had six clearances. A really solid performer for us.

Dan Coffield
14 disposals, three marks, two tackles

“Coff” is a really consistent player down back. Probably similar to “Broady” — he stifles a lot of opposition entries, wins the ball back well and uses it really calmly. He’s going well.

Jack Holden
13 disposals, two clearances, two tackles

In his first game, I thought he held his own really well. Played mainly wing and half-forward. He had some nice touches and I thought he fitted into VFL level quite nicely.

Ryan Gale
12 disposals, five marks, seven uncontested possessions

I thought our tall-backs were really solid all day. They did their job defending their (Geelong’s) talls. He’s the elder statesman down there and he organises our younger defenders. So he’s doing a good job.

Jake Aarts
Two goals, 11 disposals, six marks

Is travelling really nicely at the moment. He’s playing at half-forward and his game again revolves around pressure and workrate and he’s getting lots of shots on goal.

Nick Mellington
Six disposals, one tackle

“Mello” got injured early. He got a poke in the eye from big Ivan Maric, but he started well.
