Preview 2019 Round 18 - Richmond vs Port Adelaide @ MCG, Saturday July 20, 1:45pm

[captain blood 17]

Do you reckon they want to trial Baker on a HBF like they did in the VFL? Maybe in a Caleb Daniel type role?

Dunno if they would flirt with form that much. I’m only guessing as Rioli played wing earlier on in the year and Sheds has played on the HBL. I’m going with a square peg for a square hole approach.

I’m not surprised on KmAc and actually surprised people are surprised. Was woeful against GC and also GWS. Like him going back to find some form. His disposal has been shocking.

Still want him back in after a few weeks as his defensive running is why he is there.

 

[CholEstrol]

Kmac adds versatility with height and on ball ability. Perhaps needs to get the ball a bit more.

If Short is the genuine replacement then this could be the case. More ball winning and penetration into F50. Also the chance of long goals from the 50.

 

[Stigmata]

Selections are typical of Dimmas forward thinking.
Reckon you'll see Cadds, Kmac and Nanks back for Pies GF against us next week.

Unless we lose a midfielder or chol has a bad game I can’t can’t see caddy back in

Agree mate.

It’s caddy or Chol IMO.

And right now we need Chol more.

They are a yo-yo club

If caddy is fit and mobile I would play him, chol and caddy can co exist on opposit ends of the ground, meaning l would play chol at CHB. We have enough height up forwards if caddy was playing. We will get monstered by a true CHF and we better prepare because the eagles are going to trouble us in the air.

 

[Vassp]

Can we drop Martin and Cotchin please, give the, both a rest.

 

[RogerDean]

I suggested this 2 weeks ago and was laughed at,, buts it's happening

Whats the requirements for being eligible to play VFL finals? Maybe we're dropping some back, now that we have the luxury of a relatively strong list, to qualify a few players, in case the Seniors stumble? Anyone know?

 

[TiggerDK]

I’d like to see Edwards back at half forward creating goals. That’s where he played last year and was All Australian. Don’t need him in back line any more.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Nank back in the 2s - brilliant news!!!

 

[theflea]

Macca is our best see ball, get ball player imo. Has a massive tank and a big body which he uses well. Either rested or disciplinary otherwise I just don't get it.

Yeah but he isn't 'getting' it much lately.

 

[TigermanM2]

Yeah if you call kicking one behind as a great game for a forward, okay

Where did I say great?

Think I was pretty clear in saying he had a way to go.

 

[tunksy]

Macca needs to play as a big mid in the vfl and find the ball 30 times.

 

[Turmoil]

Said kmac would be dropped last week. Surprised he played. Needs a run in the 2s to refind some form. Gonna miss his running but will be better for it in the long run.

******* Ray, we are f’ed

If both seniors and reserves are playing finals , there's no eligibility concerns
If only reserves are playing finals then Eligibility comes into it,,
I think

Good to be back in Marvellous Melbourne.
Great to see Jack G and Baker return.
I liked when they played Baker hovering around centre half forward in JLT.
From what I recall, Short dropped off badly in form towards finals last year, panicky.
So, KMac waiting in the wings, never say never.
Good to have a surplus of players vying for spots.

 

[matt_y106]

Expecting Stack to return to HB, given we’ve dropped a HB and called up a small forward.

Baker has been playing half back in the 2’s the last couple of weeks. So wouldn’t be surprised to see him run through the wing and half back.

Shattered I can't make the game this week. My wife needs to attend an information session for my youngest to get christened. I'm looking after the eldest, he is only 2 & a half so I'm not keen enough to take him to the footy yet lol. Also getting the snip done tonight so not sure what to expect for tomorrow!

 

[Capital Power]

So Ports in’s are better than there outs lol

Line ball. Fit, all three outs are best 22, as is Houston. X is first team in most posters' eyes. Many prefer Lienert to Broadbent, but the latter adds experience. The issues over our way are more related to who's still in despite better options in the twos. Oh, and our persistent stubbornness in not playing a functioning forward line.

 

[Meli]

I have two tickets (one adult and one child under 14) for tomorrow if anyone wants. Live outta town and won't be able to make it.

EDIT: Tickets gone now.

If you guys get up with no Ebert, Wines, Burton, it'll be a monumental effort. Comparing to the game in Rd. 4, we have a much stronger team and yours is much weaker. I think the only way you'll challenge us is if you get the run and spread from your younger guys like you did against Melbourne Rd. 1. You'll also need Dixon to compete all game, with Westhoff and R Gray to kick some snags each. Looking forward to finally playing you in Melbourne for the first time in seemingly forever, hope it's a cracking contest with the Tigs getting the chocolates

I think you could easily beat us.

You should be fired up after not showing up against Brisbane and we had a soft win against a feeble GWS that lost to Essendon and Brisbane in recent weeks with Coniglio injuries from the get go, no Kelly, Whitfield just back/rusty and copped a knock to!!!

So really RFC could be there for the taking but hopefully our players lift for the challenge!!

Really Port has beat Geelong, West Coast in Perth, Adelaide and others when focused so it will be quite an achievement if we can get past your team with a victory on the weekend!!
