Alrite i just did a bit of research in this imporant game and this is my observations.
When u look at their forward line there is 5 talls and 1 small.
HF: Riccardi, Graham, Haynes
F: Gardiner, Playfair, Kingsley
You gotta remember that haynes kicked 4 goals against us last time when we played west coast and we were playing. So who is
going to paly on him.
I would do these matchups.
Riccardi (Height 183cm Weight: 87kg) (1G 1P anotha undadone?)
Chaffey (Height 180cm Weight: 82kg)
Gardiner(Height 188cm Weight: 96kg) (Done nothin all year)
Zantuck(Height 188cm Weight: 93kg)
Kingsley(Height 193cm Weight: 93kg) (5G 6P this year.)
A.Kellaway (Height 190cm Weight: 90kg)
Graham(Height 196cm Weight: 96kg) (1G but is he underdone?)
Hall (Height 196cm Weight: 97kg)
Haynes (Height 188cm Weight: 89kg) (No goals,alot of possesion)
Fiora (Height 186cm Weight: 80kg)
Playfair (Height 197cm Weight: 90kg) (3G 1P this year)
Gasper (Height 193cm Weight: 90kg)
And also you would think that we have the advantage in the midfield and the ruck department as even marsh would beat chambers would be a good matchup but if marsh is beating him all night put ottens up forward let the richmond faithfull see what he can do their and see what marsh can do.
Newman tagging corey in midfield
Chambers is 197cm - Marsh 201cm
Hartigan tagging Kelly in midfield (He can be dangerous)
Other than that i think ling will get kane johnson
and they tag brown and cogs and that should be it
Forward line will be interesting for this.
Their backline should outmark and out play us so we gotta keep the ball inside our 50.
Nathan brown comes to mind as kicking a bag. I just have a feeling that either him or zantuck or ottens will kcik a bag lets hope so aye.
This is how i would line up the forwards.
B: Harley, Scarlett, Sanderson
F: Shultz Ottens Brown
HB: Rahilly, Mooney, Milburn
HF: Krakouer Morrison Bowden
Harley would beat shultz, Ottens should be scarlett, sando and brown will be a good matchup. Krakouer would be better in midfield than rahilly, mooney and morro will be a good one as both are hard palyers and bowden should beat milburn.
Thoughts?
