[Determinant]

Stunned.

 

[Giant Pete]

We are so undersized in defence it's not funny. Anything less than a 12 goal loss is a win.

 

[Giant Pete]

Actually.. Now we are playing with two rucks there is a fair chance Stewart will play down back. Would love to see that.

IIRC someone mentioned Downie has played in defense in the reserves, so he might be the direct swap for Haynes.

 

[BeechyMagpie]

Kelly

Hasn't had the greatest crack at it but hasn't really taken the opportunity afforded. Feels like it's been a bit of a lost year for him.

2nd year blues.

It happens.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

2nd year blues.

It happens.

Its not so bad when its just one player, compared to being pretty much the whole team like it was back in 2013

 

[Scully2Folau]

Haynes... Man...

 

[BarryAglett]

Richmond have blown us apart in the first qtr so often, it'll be a win if we are within 2 goals at the first break.
Feels like our expectations have all diminished.
Chin-chin and all that.

 

[Giant Pete]

Do u think we'll start with the spare man in defence straight away?

 

[Giant Pete]

looking at possible match ups for talls:
Corr - Riewoldt
Stewart - Vickery
Marchbank - Griffiths

The Marchbank matchup is a real worry... Giving away height, size and experience. This is why we'll need a spare man permanently zoning off.. Eg buntine.

 

[Colonial]

Do u think we'll start with the spare man in defence straight away?

Crazy not to.

If we arent playing to limit the damage we will be destroyed.

Have allot of faith in Leon. He knows we can still play finals. But we wont get a w here. Time to coach smart

 

[BarryAglett]

I think Hampton is a good chance to play on Riewolt. Maybe not all day, but as a run-with type through the midfield.

 

[fridgeman]

Big test for the team tomorrow and will be interesting viewing as I feel some players need to step up
Hampton and Kennedy, can they step up from reserves and show they deserve to be inclusions for the rest of the season
Where will Downie and Stewart play?
Midfield need to step up and match or beat their opponent, Ward, Griffen, Scully and Palmer to show the benefit of experience and lead through tackles and contested ball
Richmond on an easy run with Carlton then St Kilda so they can afford to play a hard game if needed and ease up with those games

We are no better than StKila or Carlton at the minute

 

[Colonial]

We are no better than StKila or Carlton at the minute

How dare you!

 

[_GT_]

We are no better than StKila or Carlton at the minute

I disagree with that.

 

[Raymann]

I disagree with that.

Hope I'm wrong

 

[captainMyCaptain]

We are no better than StKila or Carlton at the minute

With us due to play the Saints and Suns in the next few weeks we will soon know how right or wrong this is

 

[Giant Pete]

Take St kildas best four tall defenders out and see how they go.

 

[Colonial]

Aaand its game day.

Time for a tiger choke?

 

[Raymann]

Take St kildas best four tall defenders out and see how they go.

That's my point. The team we are putting out today is no better than Saints or Blues. Of course at full strength we are in the mix for top 8.

 

[Land of the Giants]

The best thing we've got going for us today is that no one thinks we can win.

 

[juss]

If it rains you are a chance, it will keep scores low, our tall forwards might be a hinderance and itl come down to who wants it more. At the moment its raining and freezing outside.
