Preview Changes & discussion - Richmond 6/5/2017

[BEaston]

Sorry to intrude, but just wondering who you guys use as second ruck?

Is it a setup like us with Shaun Grigg last week where you use a mid?

Yep. We used Dunkley last week, prob the same again.

 

[SEBuldog]

How is Smith still in the side!?

Perhaps the plan is to replace him with Dickson when he is ready to go and want to give him a couple more weeks to see if the form improves.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Suspect Murphy plays forward all game when we have so many small/medium defenders. Interesting to see how this small setup works. Reckon we got away with it last week cause of the dewy conditions. Stringer/Bont/Jong will need to bring the ball to ground otherwise I suspect Adams will be thrown forward.

Smith is very lucky to be still in this team.

Have to think that Adams or Cordy will play forward. What is going to happen when Roughead, Cloke, Crameri, Redpath and Dickson all become available. Will be a complete change of the forward line.

I'm hoping to see a few Dunkley v Grigg centre bounces

 

[fargothegreat]

Sorry I didn't watch. Did it work for you?

I thought our stoppages weren't terrible with Grigg, but the problem was not having the tall target to kick to down the line, hence why Elton is straight back into the team

 

[Spectre]

Campbell may as well clean out his locker now

Campbell likely still has a dodgy ankle. Who are the emergencies?

Hopefully it isn't because we know Dahl will be a late out.

Webb, Dale, Campbell

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Soldo is a squishy target and we're all familiar with Bevo's disdain for the ruck but I wish we'd taken the chance to free Boyd up to play forward this week.

On the plus side it's against a fill in ruck so it might be a chance for Boyd to show that he's more than serviceable when asked to play as a fill in ruck himself (at 21).

 

[TiAn_]

Great chance for Boyd to assert his authority in the ruck and around the ground.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

interesting change. dahl late out?
good to see williams retains his spot

 

[Pugz89]

Prestia out for Tigers as well.

Bugger. Was hoping he could spud it up for one more week.

 

[Pugz89]

good thing about shitihad stadium if we start getting thrashed strippers just across the road

From the Tigers board haha

 

[BulldogJake]

Dale unlucky. Smith very fortunate. Dickson breathing down his neck.

Suckling will surely play the game forward? Perhaps Murphy Half Forward/Wing too?

 

[maddog37]

Stats lie sometimes, if you asked them most Richmond supporters would say that he has been pretty important in the last few weeks.

I actually think he is hard done by, by the footy public. He has a lot of talent he just can't get a run at it (as evident by starting to play well for a few weeks and doing yet another injury.)

I reckon he has looked ok too. Seemed to be using the ball better and making better decisions. Man he is fugly though.

 

[Spectre]

Webb, Dale, Campbell

Cheers. Reckon we'll see a Webb for Dahl, if the injury gossip is right.

 

[Wetdog]

Think the Tigers will play well. We will need to be at our best to win.

 

[Valixir]

Excuse me, but anyone know if Honeychurch is injured? Haven't seen him listed in the seniors or 2nds for the past 2 weeks.

 

[perro_loco]

I expect the dogs to kick 7 goals in total and 23 behinds.

I disagree completely. 7 goals and 24 behinds.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Yeah, ankle apparently

Not so much. Since he was rucking against Mumford a lot, he kinda just... bounced away.

 

[Valixir]

Yeah, ankle apparently

That's no good. Thanks.

 

[jdz101]

Hahaha

Bring in the Language already

 

[DognBones]

With a queue of players returning from injuries it may be very difficult for Webb and Dale to get more opportunities which would be a pity. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out for them.

Bit of a worry for Webb. I thought that he was a better player than Benjamin Long, Mitch Hannan, Koby Stevens and Nathan Hrovat. Those four guys went to other clubs at the end of last year and are getting AFL games.
