ONLY days after Richmond coach Damian Hardwick lauded the depth of his side, the players vying for senior selection proved their worth in VFL-affiliate Coburg's 32-point win over Sandringham.
It was a mix of youth and experience which inspired the Tigers to victory, the final score reading 18.13 (121) to 13.11 (89).
Ex-Adelaide forward Chris Knights had 41 disposals - 19 of them contested.
Aaron Edwards, who was traded to Richmond after 78 games at North Melbourne, booted four goals and had 17 disposals.
"It was a pretty good all-round effort today with probably four or five guys really standing up,'' Coburg coach Tim Clarke said.
"Chris (Knights) continued to work throughout the day and ended up with over 40 touches, and his work rate was terrific."
The dangerous pair handed the Tigers their first lead of the match early in the second term after trading goals, Knights kicking truly on the tightest of angles.
Youngster Liam McBean, drafted at No.31 by Richmond last year, was also superb up forward finishing with four goals including two consecutive majors in the dying stages of the first half.
Robin Nahas (22 disposals), Matt White (26) and young gun Nick Vlastuin (16) were also lively.
Clarke agreed with the sentiments that Richmonds current depth is a huge benefit for the VFL affiliate.
"Were in a really strong position in that the 18 guys who came down (from Richmond) were in our best 22," Clarke said.
"Its not a preference that theyre on Richmonds list. If theyre in our best 22 well play them."
For Sandringham new Saint Trent Dennis-Lane kicked five goals.
The former Swan bagged four in the first half and was a dangerous target up forward.
Rookie-listed Saint Tom Curren was superb for Sandringham, finishing with 24 touches and two goals.
His second came after a third quarter scuffle saw him awarded with a 100m penalty.
Youngsters Sebastian Ross (19 disposals, 12 kicks) and Tom Ledger (17) were also dangerous.
Demons rookies James Magner (34 disposals) and Tom Couch (32) helped Casey Scorpions to a 23.11 (149) to 12.9 (81) drubbing of Frankston yesterday.
Out-of-favour midfielder Luke Tapscott booted six goals while Jesse Hogan kicked two.
Port Melbourne secured its first win of the season, edging Box Hill by four points.
