Preview Geelong v Richmond Friday May7 2021 7:50 pm @ MCG

[Footy_Fan2007]

Richmond's smalls look like trouble in comparison to ours, Castagna, Bolton, Rioli v Close, Dahlhaus, Narkle.

Rioli is incredibly overrated. I’m not sure how he gets a game to be honest. Far too inconsistent.

If Rioli is having a significant impact on the outcome tomorrow night, I figure we will already be getting belted.

Richmond is seriously on the verge of 4 out of 5 premierships, and will deservedly be labelled the greatest team ever, at least in AFL history.
Geelong are on the verge of either just making or missing the 8.
What definitions were you thinking?

On thé verge? They currently sit below us on the ladder and have major issues. And you think we are on the verge of missing the 8 despite being above them. If they lose tonight it’s going to be very difficult for them To make top 4.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

We'll probably have Higgins and maybe Simpson too. Also, Rohan's not a tall.

Really !! - my guess would be - that Rohan is 6ft 3 inc in the old measurements

 

[Romeoh1]

Bolton miles ahead of the other 5 you listed imo; serious talent.

Yep. Rioli and Castagna are not serious talents.

Just read article in the HS saying Richmond have the easiest run home from now in the AFL

I haven't analysed everyone's draw from here. But they've got to come to Queensland twice, off to Optus for two games, and up to Sydney against GWS as well. Apart from that, it's basically all at the 'G, as you would imagine. But there's still a few games even in this list that I wouldn't be inking in for them at this point.

In the end, there's a very long way to go in this season right now. So talking about easiest run home from here seems more than a little premature to me.

 

[frggr]

So desperate for attention

Not all opposition posters are total idiots/nuffies - I'm not sure why we treat them all as if they are.

It seemed a pretty reasonable and friendly post, to me. Not everyone's here to cause trouble.

 

[frggr]

Geelong have handed Richmond a fair few 100+ point belongs since the 90s but this is best:

Bolton miles ahead of the other 5 you listed imo; serious talent.

And he's "in no rush" to sign a new contract. Wonder if he'll head off for greener pastures. Can't imagine there's a lot of cash available at Punt Road

I heard it suggested on the news last night that's what he's kinda been informed that there won't necessarily be the salary cap space available for him to have a significant pay increase

Wasn't that also a contributing factor in Ellis moving to GC in that he wasn't going to be able to get a salary increase by staying at Richmond but also a chance he was going to have to take a pay cut to stay at the club

Richmond better hope their environment is enough to offset a couple of hundred thousand bucks a year.

Sort of thought this might happen when they got Lynch in

I think Freo might be able to make a deal

I think it said 10 of their last 14 games are against teams currently out of the top 8

 

[terry_bright]

Yep. Rioli and Castagna are not serious talents.

Castagna would be a walk up start in our team. In fact he would walk into most teams.

 

[Catsmaninamerica]

Lol at the Richmond muppets in here. I’ve been following Geelong closely since 1984. There’s no other team that we’ve routinely humiliated as often as their rabble. They’re strutting around now because they’ve had 4 good years? I watched one family treat them like the little bitches they are for the best part of 35 years. Within a couple
Of years, they’ll slide back to 9rh abd we’ll be still competing for flags.

Fair enough. Even we've got 9 out of our last 14 against teams currently outside the eight. With six games at our 'cheat ground' still to come as well. It's not like it's Richmond's draw and then daylight.

 

[cats_09]

Simpson, Higgins in - guessing also Ratugolea

Outs include Miers (inj), Clark & Narkle omitted

Don’t mind it
Bring them on

“Few teams have suffered the Ablett magic over the years quite like Richmond”
