These are the pre-game predictions for a Richmond win.









No forwardline; no melbourne it seems.

Yep, happy to admit I got that wrong.

I assure you, I was incredibly pleased to see you do them :thumbsu:

I forgot that Richmond will always find a way to disappoint their supporters at crucial times. Silly of me in hindsight.

Not sure if this was a crucial time, though some of their supporters were pretty bitter in the stands.

Can't remember who mentioned it, but damn you, Every time I look at Bernie now, I see Butters and that butters song sticks in my head. "Everyone knows it's Butters! That's Me!"

Butters is my favorite South Park Character.

I'm glad we gave Tweak the arse as coach last year.
 
Geelong will probably leave a lot of guys at home for Game 2 at Alice Springs. We may do the same but you would expect a few forwards to come in.

I'd love to see us play the same way as Friday regardless of a win or lose but see how we operate with a few tall targets.
 
Who will be getting down to the intraclub tomorrow? It starts at 10am which is a little annoying, I doubt I will stay for the whole thing but should see the first half at least. It will be good to see some of our taller types running around, and hopefully they don't rest the entire midfield.
 
I've got an exam at 1pm, but I'm considering heading down to clear the head.

I'll be heading down with an essendon mate, looking forward to it. I'll try and post some thoughts on here tomorrow night.

Would be interested to hear some of your mate's thoughts too as an outsider's perspective.

I'll be there, as will Show Some Fight. Should be good. I think the younger midfielders will play at the very lease (Tyson, Salem, Viney, Toumpas) as well as rookie/fringe types (Evans and the like) so it shouldn't be too bare. It'll be Jack Watts' first hit-out in the middle too, though probably not against much competition so it'll be hard to judge if he does well.

Unless the alarm malfunctions, I'll be there.
 
It is going to be rather embarrassing not knowing half the group as I have barely followed football since round 22 2013 :/

Do yourself a favour, go to the website, check out the player list and write yourself up a little cheat sheet. That way you atleast have done some homework! ;)

Nah don't worry about it, pretty sure I was annoying a few people around me at the richmond game last friday by constantly saying who's that guy, wait who's number 12, hold on is that such and such, after awhile you figure it out :thumbsu:
 
Was able to watch the intra-club which was pretty decent considering how windy it was this morning. Don't have time for a full report, but a few thoughts:

Super impressed with Tyson (so clean in close, won a number of clearances by setting up a teammate with a quick handball. Has so much time in contested situations); Watts was excellent as an inside/outside mid (won a few clearances and ran hard. Might not be a midfielder who wins 30 touches a game, but his kicking skills and decision-making are deadly. Could be the sort of guy who only wins 15-20 touches but they're more damaging than others who get heaps of the pill); JKH was also eye-catching, as was Terlich (in a more midfield role as opposed to half-back only), Viney was his usual self, hard at it and good in tight, while big Max King was so surprisingly good too (excellent mobility and skills for a big man - add a bit of muscle to him and he could be anything). Dean Kent impressed too, looks bigger and I love how he takes the game on as much as possible. Salem kicked a couple of smart goals too and looks a future player. Has a good build too, so could feature this year I think. Oh, and Fitzy was fantastic too, up forward and in the ruck.

Group of senior players (Jones, Grimes, Howe, Vince, Frawley etc) didn't participate and did running work on the next oval.

Only negatives were minor injuries to Tapscott (medial ligament) and Dawes (calf, I think)
