Fringe Tiger tall Callum Coleman-Jones has given Damian Hardwick a timely reminder of his talents, leading Richmond to a 97-point thrashing of an inexperienced GWS outfit in today’s VFL clash at Punt Road Oval.
The 21-year-old 200cm ruck-forward booted five goals including the first two of the match and finished with 19 disposals, 16 hitouts and seven marks in a dominant display.
The South Australian product is out of contract and is reportedly being courted by other clubs.
He has not featured at AFL level since his debut in round 10, 2019, partly due to a 10-game ban he and Sydney Stack were handed for a late-night incident while in the Gold Coast hub last year.

Or running half-naked around Manuka Oval before the snow fell. Or threatening all manner of deeds as he advised Matthew Lloyd to retire past-match in 2009. Or being saved from a VFL coaching stint by Sam Mitchell s tackle on Shane Tuck. For the first time in forever, Clarkson is coaching a nondescript, vanilla, utterly boring football team. He knows it, and so do the fans. Â
