will richmond have enough players to field a team?

 

[Vindicater]

Could make our game late last year look like a ripper.

This will be the last game either of these teams play on a Friday night for six years.

6 years could be generous...
we are both being vanished out if the big timeslots for a long long time.

 

[Worm4]

Can this game attract more the 25k ?

 

[Donflicted]

i am officially barracking for Richmond this week

GO TIGERS!

[tiger_tough]

Campbell Gray out with a hammy plus Green and Trainor with hand concerns. We may actually need to name a VFL top up or two as emergencies this week. Bit of a shame because otherwise I'd have been somewhat confident of getting up in this one.

Bombers in a close one IMO.

 

[juss]

No idea of what our player availability will be like, but we'd have to be a chance in this one even missing a few.

Winnable game for both sides.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Adam Yze might get a game at this rate for the Tigers

Essendon to still find a way to lose

 

[JackFlash]

Battle of the bozos? Tigers have been cruelled by injury and couldn't possibly win again this season? If they do beat Essendon this week then i dare say Brad Scott might more than under the pump? Dons by 25 points!

Don't cout us out just yet

 

[Del233519]

The Richmond top-ups by 11. Essendon are a broken football club.

 

[THE_GUN]

Don't cout us out just yet

Nah you guys still have Essendon , Richmond , Port & Eagles to play and will win 2/3 of them games
I have you finishing 15th

Agree in theory, but Wright wouldn't really want us winning more games and suspect we will "get more games into our youth" 2nd half of the season

 

[windyhill]

Last time these two met is comfortably in my top one of all time sporting disgraces.
I can not emphasise at how bad it was. So privileged to witness that complete abomination.

So its Youth v Youth
same same

I thought Dreamtime was always a Saturday night?

Who flogged Melbourne.

 

[windyhill]

Ch.7.
No football on Saturday, so they orchestrated the switch. More fool them as people will be switching to the second game to save their bodily functions.

 

[My_Username]

will richmond have enough players to field a team?

Quite possibly.

But only because the AFL is ****ing them over by insisting that they play everyone who is nominally fit, even if it's likely to mean more injuries.

So someone like Sims (if he passes a fitness test) would have to be named ahead of any top up players, even though he hasn't played since last year due to surgery, and Richmond would have liked to ease him back by having him play limited minutes in the VFL.

It also means Richmond might need to play 4 'ruckmen' (OHB, Ryan, Sims, Balta) and presumably other questionable positional selections.

 

[57 Milner]

They might want to organise some tarpaulins for this one.

 

[Cam Payne]

Given how many outs the Tigers have, if you need someone I am available. It'll be just like when I donned the yellow and black playing for Maylands Junior Football Club back in the early eighties. Maybe Umberto could have a run too. Just don't play him at full back cos it made him cry.

Dons by 10.
