Preview Round 19 Richmond vs GWS @ MCG - 4:40pm Sat 02/08/2014

[Ralll]

If we're going to pull off the impossible and make finals, a big % boost is required from this game I feel.
Would like to see Griff play Vickery's role to see how he goes while we're playing more direct football as opposed to the start of the season.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I find the notion that Lloyd can't handle a wet track to be a strange one.
He was pretty good against the cats in the wet I thought .

 

[DontArgue4]

Interesting that Dimma mentioned Helbig in the press conference, maybe he will come in for Morris?

 

[djspank]

Did you guys know that 9 out of 10 people surveyed give the following answers when playing word association?

Essendon - "Drugs"
Richmond - "Ninth"
GWS - "McDonalds"

People can generally on remember the last game (or any game where someone they don't rate didn't do well!)

Also with King retiring, he will stay on the LTI list, so we may see another rookie get upgraded and Miles can stay upgraded.

Banfields ?

 

[J_Simmo]

Banfields ?

Ew

 

[Groupie_]

Ew

Camdyn McWilliams ?

Darrou ?

 

[_DBF_]

Can't vouch for him defensively, but offensively Helbig was putrid - couldn't kick for s**t. Bun having said that I'm not against him replacing Morris. I think he deserves one last crack before we delist him.

You'd reckon Griff would dominate playing against GWS depleted backline. If not then just more questions for him.

Need to LTIL Astbury for that to happen (he's not listed yet according to AFL site)

 

[sante]

So Helbig will play back pocket, lmao

Banfields ?

I was thinking Darou.

No thats wrong. Miles was upgraded for the King LTI, and we haven't as yet upgraded a player for the rd 11 rookie upgrade that all clubs get.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

wouldnt surprise based upon what he said at C80

 

[Ned_Flanders]

No thats wrong. Miles was upgraded for the King LTI, and we haven't as yet upgraded a player for the rd 11 rookie upgrade that all clubs get.

isnt that a one shot thing though like the pre-season one?

Just talking him up before he is delisted in a couple of months and goes somewhere else and plays.

Have I ever steered you guys wrong.

 

[theflea]

Not as far as I know and what I asked stig. I asked him if king comes back, will miles be able to stay upgraded because we haven't upgraded our rd 11 rookie? And I gather I was right unless I misinterpreted his answer, which was he will stay upgraded regardless of the king injury.

 

[DontArgue4]

Well...... Griff is gone

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Have I ever steered you guys wrong.

you were the prick who told me Groupie is an internet nerd, whats the worst that can happen having a beer at his house
