[kranky al]

Our best chance so far this season after playing 3 teams I expect to be around the top 4.

Really expecting a competitive go against the tigs, hoping to be down to Perth for it.

 

[evo]

Mclovin will have a field day, we have zero competent tall forwards.

Its time to unleash Cumbo!

 

[tiger_tough]

Danger game. First time this year we will start favorites. McGovern must be kept in check, or we will probably lose.

 

[juss]

Probably the Eagles best chance of a win in a while, given we're lacking a few key pieces.

Sometimes when a team without a win in a while can smell blood, they lift especially at home with the crowd behind them.

Actually think the Eagles will get up here, but it's a game both sides could easily win.

 

[JustaBattler]

Richmond under rated and battling a slew of injuries- welcome to coaching Yze fun gig eh? WC are building - what it is time will tell.

 

[Daka]

Should be a good game, they usually competitive battles the last couple between these sides with Richmond pulling away late.
I feel like this could be a game West Coast bookmarked at the start of the year as a winnable game.

 

[tiger_tough]

At least Josh Kennedy isn't around to torment us.

I wouldn't say Richmond are playing badly . It is a game of "Who is better on the day" and Richmond have certainly shown enough to win it.

Yeh we've been competitive. Can't say we won't be in with a chance because we very well are, it's just that the Eagles will rightfully have marked this one in as "winnable" and for a team that's struggled in recent times, sometimes that's a big psychological boost, this is a really good chance to push for a win with reasonable expectation of pulling it off.

It's probably a 60/40 game one way or the other depending on the teams named. Also, I doubt it will be the prettiest game. Not low scoring necessarily but expect a lot of turnovers and botched chances.

 

[smasha]

Saints played like a sunday picnic against Essendon then played their leggies orff against us.
I expect major improvement from the Eagles this week.

Everyone loves to knock over the Tigers(ask the umpires).

 

[Daka]

I expect us to bring in a tall this week either Ryan or Naismith for Mykelti Lefau we looked too short against St Kilda and WCE have McGovern & Barass such a no brainer.

Still think we will have too much run & class for the Eagles in the end, I am probably a little bit more confident than the Tigercast boys.
Bolton will have another strong game.

I keep hoping Bolton wants to come home… without much luck.

 

[Black Saab]

Harley Reid vs Kane McAuliffe.

Looking forward to seeing McAuliffe, Brown, Campbell, MRJ, Sonsie, Lefau, Miller, Young on the field and also Yze's 6th match as senior coach.

 

[MrsBlueSky]

Is it my imagination or does Gov seem to run out of puff earlier in the game than usual. If he's asked to carry a big load this Sunday i can see him being managed the following week and that's not good to to see for a bloke on a million bucks.

Gov looks fitter than he's ever been.

The reason he's out of puff is because the ball is down there every few minutes.
He won't need resting.

[Daka]

I keep hoping Bolton wants to come home… without much luck.

I think he is pretty settled in Melbourne now with his wife & son. re-signed a long term deal not too long ago.

 

[juss]

I keep hoping Bolton wants to come home… without much luck.

He bid on a property in Malvern at some point last year so was house-hunting, a residential family home so not likely an investment.

Apparantly Baker is the risk of potentially returning home end of year.

 

[skinnyP]

Richmond match up really well against the Eagles. I think West Coast have only had two h2h wins since Richmond's first flag year.

It should continue with a 5 goal win to the tiges.

 

[Zevon]

Teams are up

 

[Daka]

Eagles are right up to their eyeballs in this match.

Ross injured, now Taranto sent to scans for wrist injury the morning a likely out.

Bigly loss.

Now watch us match it with an injury.

Nobody does injuries better than us, the best injuries, ask anyone, they’ll tell you.

 

[juss]

Ross and Taranto both needing surgery, the fun continues.

I don't even know who we'll bring in, we're gonna have pseudo flankers playing big midfield minutes.

Massive hope Eagles now, they were already in it and now they're probably the tip.
