Wines is out.

 

[captain ebert]

The hilarity. The melting if Port get up today

 

[BornPort]

It will be interesting to see how our younger guys go. I think we'll be spanked but hopefully there are no injuries.

 

[tangolikelama]

Port to lose by 119 and be deemed the wooden spoon favourites

 

[Hagla]

I hope the Lavy bogans start an all in brawl in the crowd, just to keep things interesting.

 

[juss]

Richmond taking a stronger side in but not full strength. Should win but Port are quality and theres still some best 22 players there.

Pretty much. I'd set the 'line' at 2-3 goals our way based on team quality....Not quite the mismatch that the the doggies had over us, but still definitely there.

 

[Jakksynn]

I think we have 7 or 8 first 22 players playing today so there's a definite mismatch. It will be good to see Jarrad Redden have a run around for the first time in a very long time. Also looking for some of the younger players to step up, the likes of Amon, Young, Moore, Neade.

 

[BornPort]

If these teams are pretty even then it's going to be a bad year for Richmond.

 

[jack_black16]

16 of best 22 out for Port if you include impey. Tigers will win easily.

 

[telsor]

If these teams are pretty even then it's going to be a bad year for Richmond.

I'm not saying they're even, I'm saying Richmond is fielding the stronger team and if they win by less than 2-3 goals, then it's a bad result.

 

[dinger]

Lobbe, Wines, Impey and Jonas are now out as well apparently, lel.

 

[LeoMessi]

I just wanna see Krakuer get a full game

 

[BornPort]

I just wanna see Krakuer get a full game

Yep. Also want to see how Redden goes after so long out of the game.

 

[x_les_x]

Riewoldt to kick 15, we struggle against him even with Carlile against him which is normally the main match up. Good luck whoever gets sent to him but im expecting a bag

Hombsch will towel him up.

 

[smasha]

Hi Norf fans.(waves).

No injuries please.

 

[Lsta062]

Let's be real here, Richmond should win this comfortably IF they put in all that they got. Port has half their team out (and the outs are quality players) whereas Richmond are pretty close to full strength.

However, I doubt that they will go hard in order to avoid injury

 

[Kram]

That Port jumper is pretty ordinary.

 

[BACCS]

This is pretty much Port's SANFL side, it will be a pumping

 

[BACCS]

That Port jumper is pretty ordinary.

Can't have that 'clash' with Richmond's jumper again

 

[madman]

How does a team like what Port fielded benefit from these games?

 

[Jakksynn]

How does a team like what Port fielded benefit from these games?

Rest our stars because we're playing in Perth Rd 1. Also gives a chance for some kids to step up. It could get ugly though.

 

[E Shed]

How does a team like what Port fielded benefit from these games?

Yes, Can someone explain the reasoning behind going in with such a weak side as we edge closer to the start of the real stuff?
