Richmond VFL playing coach, Steve Morris, provides a summary of how the Tigers’ players performed in last Sunday's 16-point win over Frankston.

Patrick Naish (33 disposals, six inside-50s, six tackles, one goal)

"Found a lot of the footy all day. Was great to see him have six tackles and a superb finish from the boundary in the last quarter at a really important stage of the game."

Derek Eggmolesse-Smith (29 disposals, 11 rebound 50s, five marks)

"Derek had a great game, he got better as the game went on. His ball-use was outstanding as always and his voice has been a real highlight setting us up behind the footy."

Riley Collier-Dawkins (27 disposals, six clearances, three tackles)

"Was outstanding in the middle of the ground with six clearances. He was really important, providing a big body to bash and crash all day against a strong midfield."

Will Martyn (25 disposals, nine marks, seven tackles, two score assists)

"Continues to throw himself into the contest. Found a lot of the footy again on the weekend and continued to persevere and tackle and put pressure on defensively. He's tracking really well."

Garrett McDonagh (23 disposals, six tackles, four marks)

"'Gaz' has become a really reliable part of our back six. He uses the ball really well, as was evident on the weekend, and really stepped into the contest for us as well."

Bailey Henderson (23 disposals, three tackles, three rebound-50s)

"Played down back at times when we needed him to and was extremely solid. Had a really good impact on the wing when he was around the footy as well, so a really pleasing display from 'Hendo'."

Matt Bartlett (18 disposals, four inside-50s, five tackles, one goal)

"Had a really good game on the weekend and pleasingly, was able to find a lot more of the footy than previous weeks. He's been working really hard for a number of weeks now and it was great to see him get rewarded. His forward pressure was also outstanding."

Lachlan Street (17 disposals, five inside-50s, four marks)

"'Mr Fix It' played forward, ruck, midfield and down back when needed. He was outstanding once again, and continues to be a solid presence from us and led from the front."

Nathan Oakes (16 disposals, 10 tackles, four inside-50s)

"Had a great game, highlighted by his 10 tackles. He always hits the contest hard but he was also able to find more of the footy and used it really well. A great performance."

Cam Olden (16 disposals, three goals, four marks)

"Cam has come back from a serious injury over the last couple of months and is now finding more confidence in his body. He was outstanding on the weekend, having 16 disposals and three goals."

Dylan Cook (15 disposals, four marks, four tackles)

"'Cooky' is another one who's been battling with injury at times throughout the year. Had a great impact for us on a wing, stepped over the footy a number of times winning important contests, and we were really happy with his game."

Samson Ryan (14 disposals, two goals, 39 hit-outs, eight tackles)

"Kicked two goals for the day and probably could have had a third. It was important that he competed strongly in the ruck and he did a really good job. Also had eight tackles which was a highlight."

Joel Nathan (14 disposals, four tackles, two marks)

"Getting better and better every week. He's really fitting in well to our backline. You know what you're going to get from Joel, he battles his backside off, and played really well again on the weekend."

Jack Scanlon (13 disposals, two goals, six marks)

"Kicked a couple of goals including his first for the footy club. He created a great contest and is a key figure for us up forward with our small forward line. He was really important."

Maurice Rioli Jnr (11 disposals, eight tackles, three clearances)

"Put sensational pressure on all day. It was really important that he was able to fight through injury and come back and really have an impact for us on the ground after hurting his ankle, which is a sign of his maturity."

Riley Loton (10 disposals, seven tackles, four marks)

"Played his first game for quite some time. He put a heap of pressure on up forward and it was a really good stepping stone for him to take into next week."

Noah Cumberland (nine disposals, three goals, five tackles)

"Could've had four goals in the first half. He competed really hard for us, we were undersized in the forward line and needed him to compete, and that's what he did. He had a great game for us."

Hugo Ralphsmith (eight disposals, three goals, three marks)

"Had a quiet game by his standards but importantly, he was able to hit the scoreboard with three goals. So, we'll certainly take that, and look for him to have an even greater impact next week."

Bigoa Nyuon (eight disposals, four marks)

'Biggy' had a sensational first half. Unfortunately, he copped a poke to the eye in the third quarter and that saw him sit out the remainder of the game, but he was really important for us."

Jess McGrath (four disposals, four tackles)

"Didn't find a lot of the football, but he had a couple of really important contests for us in the second half which he won, and he's getting a better understanding of our structures ad the way we play our footy. So, it's been great for his development to play at this level."
