Preview Round 2 2019: Richmond v Collingwood at MCG 7.25pm 28th March

[gaelictiogar]

We are Minor Prems and we were favs to win the PF. Why? Because we were widely - and rightly - seen as the better team. We lost a one off.

We should win. We are the better more talented team.

Richmond by 24.

My first MCG game, can't wait...

 

[Marcel Proust]

Greenwood will sit on Dusty all game so pencil him in for a stinker. Drops his head when he cops a hard tag.

he should be playing full forward, then

bad coaching

 

[Grrr]

At 188, Markov is a good flexible option, the pies have a few his height. And can play wing too I guess. We know what Ellis brings to the table, Ross has put his hand up too lets see what he can do

Yup. Markov has the speed to go with Stevenson or Elliot and has decent rebound. Or if things get tricky can take MacIntosh's place if he is needed down back. Could even play lead up HF if needed. We need his pace.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Anthony Miles was pretty superb for GC in a young side. Very happy for him.

Good call although you probably wouldn’t pick him on form he’s a good matchup for Stephenson re height/ pace.
Grimesy has to go to DeGoey

 

[SavDog23]

Snags to kick another GOTY that pies fans complain about.
Lynch to bend over they're defence and kick 6 goals.
Balta BOG.
Tiges by 81.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

hopefully the conditions are much cooler than they were thursday, otherwise we're in for another scrapfest

[Foley#41]

[THE_GUN]

Who will play on Lynch

How do they intend to keep Riewoldt quite

What will they do when Balta is in the ruck and Nank drifts foward - Who takes Nank

Will they blame injuries again


Pies suck Cox

 

[Greggy]

I thought the Pies midfield with Beams, Sidebum and Pendlebury looked slow on Friday.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Lets see if they tin arse another win like in the prelim.

Reckon Broady cursed us in 2018 with titsgate. It caused us to get gastro leading into the game.

 

[Zoom]

They’re all slow. They miss Adams. Hate the c*** but he is important to the way they play.

 

[smasha]

26 but 13 minimum,hopefully the cold change comes in.

 

[Tiges1229]

Is he playing this week ?

 

[Zoom]

Is he playing this week ?

I don’t believe so

 

[Tiges1229]

I don’t believe so

They did look slow Last week , Dusty really needs to step up this week to , Rioli another, Butler I would drop for George

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Adams misses four weeks due to a finger injury.
He leads contested possessions.
Pendelbury has lingering injury concerns, probably relating to back surgery in the off-season.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

A tentative list.
F Butler Riewoldt Higgins
Rioli Lynch Graham
Edwards Lambert Prestia
Houli Vlaustin Short
Broad Astbury Grimes
Foll Nankervis Martin Cotchin
inter Balta Ellis KMc Weller

 

[Dr Awkward]

Will be interesting to see if anyone's role changes as a result of Rance being down. I hope we keep Balta as FWD / RUCK.

Should be a really close game, would love to see Lynch kick a bag.

We have no match up for Cox, which is a worry. Maybe Balta to run with him?

There probably isn’t a match up for Cox in the league. I think we need 3 things.
1) don’t let the Collingwood mids stream out under no pressure again
2) put someone in the hole, block his run, even if it’s someone running to the contest slower that ‘accidentally’ gets in the way
3) hope he drops marks and misses shots

 

[CASEYS9420]

Thought Stanley was better than Grundy on Friday night. Had more impact around the ball due to his athleticism. Stanley is not noted for his aggression either. Balta should stay ruck and really work hard at ground level. Duel rucks against Grundy is a luxury Nankervis has never had.

True, Grundy didn't play well and Collingwood lost. Lets make it two in a row
