Preview Round 2, 2024 vs Richmond changes & pre-match discussion

[Interstater]

Anyone else getting the Russell Ebert tribute game vibe about this?
Too much expectation, thats scary.

Richmond by 30.

 

[It Just Is]

MG in the squad. Surely that means he’s in?!

Not necessarily. If they want to keep the same balance as last week then it will be Evans in with Williams or Burgoyne to sub.

Nope. Evans is in and Burgoyne will be sub.

I suspect Georgiades will get games soon enough - he will come in for Finlayson.

Finlayson is named on the field, I know that means nothing, but normally it’s a decent indicator he will get a game.

Interesting that Richmond has named two rucks (Miller and Ryan) and a tall forward (Lefau) on the extended bench. Which means surely they will name 1 tall on the bench (otherwise all their emergencies will be over 195cm).

This is probably the game that Port needs two proper ruckman…. Or a ruck and a ruck/fwd. Finlayson is not that option.

Ryan and Miller are no world beaters

[Ralph Lorenz]

Looking forward to SPP resolving this small forward issue soon.

Keen to see Anasta & Charleson over the next few weeks in the Maggies to show us who our other options are going forward.

That’s when the disappointment comes

 

[raptalia]

I was quite impressed by Dylan Williams last year and it is good to see him in contention.

 

[PowerBaz]

3.30 as well lol

Sitting down on a Sunday arvo in front of the TV with a glass of red sounds great to me.

I like the Sunday arvos for TV (away) games. Hate them for live games.

yeesh

 

[Macca19]

Hopefully he makes it count and kicks some goals

 

[FrankDrebin]

Hopper and Broad out now for the Tigers. Neither are superstars but for a team without much depth they are missing a no. of first 22 players. We'd want to win this without too much fuss you'd think.

FUKCIN PUMPED!

 

[Ports1870]

JHF out, would expect Evans to start for McEntee, maybe Burgoyne comes in and Boak joins the midfield rotation with Williams sub.

Great!
2 to 3 weeks out depending on how severe. Just what we need with 3 big games coming up.
Looked fine last Sunday, so assume he injured it during training post-that game?

 

[Willsy10]

FFS JHF hammy is not what i wanted to read.

 

[PowerBaz]

He needs to kick 4 I guess, he gets dropped after 3.
