Preview Round 10 v North MCG Sunday May 18th 1.10pm - The Death Ride Pt 1 & KMac 200

[Delorean]

Think they'll get us. Even when we were elite they always seemed to match up well against us.

These are new times though so probably makes the above irrelevant.

Really is a flip of the coin but I'm just leaning Norths way. They've been good without winning games lately (forgetting the good Friday rubbish they dished up)

LDU and Wardlaw will dominate the clearances and although I rate our back 6 above norfs I just think we'll have too much to do in the back 50 this week.

 

[The_Kraken]

Nahas to have a blinder and kick the winning goal.

Leave Short out for a week.

Won’t happen unless he’s still injured, and I’m not sure I agree that he makes us worse. We looked like shit v West Coast.

Thinking trezise comes in for a full game … not everyone will like that but I think it will happen

I think this is unlikely unless we are dropping HRS, Ross or Dow. Otherwise, Short will come in for Trezise.

Let’s hear it for The Tosh

Has been a good servant of the club…good bloke as well

Need to buy a black headband to the game this weekend

There's a lovely story behind the headbands. Just a great fella is Kaps.

Haere Ra

 

[THE_GUN]

Club should produce headbands with 200 on them for Kappa's super fund
The bloke would have been 1 of the lowest paid at the club his entire career and would be a good retirement package

Probably about 10 years ago now, but when I was lucky enough to go to one of the sponsor dinners as a bigfooty representative, Kamdyn was the guy I sat with. Absolute legend of a bloke and a Richmond man.

Well done on 200, it’s unbloodybelievable!

 

[Coach_Required]

Reckon we will get belted. North's form hasn't been that bad and we are their bunnies.

 

[SplintWhisky]

This is Clarkson and North's grand Final. If we beat them, then questions come for their leadership, coaching and board level. We are year 1 and they are about year 3 or so of Clarko rebuild so they can't drop this at all.

If Clarko wasnt paid so much, if we win, it would he coach sacking time.

His 200 games are a testament to his work ethic and to squeezing every drop out of his talent. A true club man, he also has two premiership medallions. I love the guy.

This is a great idea haha

 

[Ralll]

North are one of the slowest ball moving teams in the comp, so that should work to our advantage with our lack of speed through the midfield.
Adding to that the only reason we have lost to them since the dynasty is terrible accuracy in front of goal, so the formline is misleading. $2.65? If I was a punter I would be tempted.
Hopefully another confidence building win coming up for the lads.

 

[Hoos]

Leave Short out for a week.

Leave him out for a month.

 

[Waca Jr]

When I think of Richmond vs. Norf I instantly think of Petrie doing his stupid robot arms after sinking our finals chances in 2015 and Boomer Harvey tearing us a new one every single time he played against us. Shit memories

Or campaignerington getting caught by Titch Holding the ball and the maggots not calling it. Still haunts me that decision

I thought he did that to the Bombers the year before?

 

[docko911]

Big month of footy coming up. If we somehow win 3 or more games, we’ll be playing for finals in the second half of the year. I know it sounds ridiculous but it’s far more likely than people would have believed at the start of the year.

If it was at the Dementor Dome I would agree.

But at the G, i think it should be close & we should win. The last time North won at the G Richmond only had 10 Flags (2017)

Records are meant to be broken, I hate relying on past history thinking it will continue forever. North is playing better footy than us and their mids will eat ours for breakfast over 4 quarters.

It's going to take a decent effort to get over them, need a 2nd half like we played against Carlton.

I would be more than happy just to win the NorF's game , Essendon & GWS will both be red hot favorites against Richmond

 

[Chomp12]

When we were winning flags, north would beat us.

There’s just something about them, they always seem to get us.

I know this week is at the G as opposed to Marvel, but you can’t ignore their form. Yes they’ve lost, but they’ve played some good footy against some good sides.

I think they beat us to be honest, but not by much. We need to bring our pressure game, and apply it to the ball carriers.

Their skills aren’t crash hot at all, so the more pressure we can apply, the more panicked they become. And we will be too quick on the turnover for them.

Fingers crossed!

Regardless of the outcome, we’re better than last season. Anything else is just a bonus.

I got kicked out of the ground and banned from bigfooty that day. Not my finest moment

 

[Rubber Hips]

CFL will change the F/S rules before we get one eligible for us anyway

 

[Rubber Hips]

Keep supporting us Virat

Well North are also about 5 years more into a rebuild than us too, but i think that club has bigger issues bubbling underneath.

This game might be seen as their "Grand Final", but this is also a club that has looked like its about to self destruct. And Richmond supporters of the last 40 years should know, these are the exact type of games that clubs that have huge fundamental underlying issues lose - because they know the pressure is on. I don't think Clarkson has the playing group tbh. Spent a bit of time on the North board (they are a great bunch of peeps over there) & the way their supporters are talking, they see it too.

If we lose, its no disaster for us. For them it will be. And a draw against the Lions and a close loss against Port might give them a false sense of comfort. Our boys are up and about, good atmostphere & they have the smell of death
