Preview Changes: GRAND FINAL

[Brentmeister]

Richmond fans are loving the McGovern news. They want to face an Adelaide side riddled with as many injuries as possible to go along with a soft draw, no injuries, gifted home finals and MRP corruption. Gotta love the Richmond "hand it to us on a platter" attitude.

Would Otten not be out of place against the mostly medium/small Richmond? Might be going in too tall

Otten will have a defensive role, we are tall but we should use it as an advantage. Gov would have been better, tall and fast. Otten plays his role. I'm backing him.

Otter will kick 4 goals - put your house on it.

25+ Otten 3 or more....
A bet within a beeettttttttttt

That will pay well

 

[Mike Smyth]

Otten brings more versatility. Can play forward, back and as a backup in the ruck if need be.

Think both teams had pretty much the same structures last time we played. Otten rucked against grigg as it was Jenkins first game back from broken ribs.

The secret to that game was winning the contested ball which means tigers don't get easy outside ball to their mosquito fleet.

This time we have a firing brad crouch rather than one coming off injury plus Greenwood in the side. Hopefully we dominate the contest and don't give the tigers a look in.

For folks unable to get tickets: you can still watch at Federation Square, or Yarra Park (outside the G). They also put them on at the Cinemas - Melbourne Central and Chadstone. We've done this several times before. Costs $10, comfy seats, BIG screen, good sound, and you can go get drinks in the breaks. Then just wander down to the G after the game to join in the party!

The stars are aligning
The lead up to this game reminds me so much of the 97 Grand Final.
Its all about Richmond, Cotchin getting off, Canary Jumper clash and stoopid KB, Dustys Medal, Dimmas Coach Award, MCG, Tiger Army, Tiger Drought ...Im loving it. They are being setup for the saltiest fall in VFL history.

Yeah, a settled line up vs an unknown.
Otten plays

that has nothing to do with "deserving" a flag though.

you pick him because he's the best choice, not because he's a nice guy who's recovered from two knee recos.

I agree he's well and truly in the box seat.

I watched the Euro semi final at a cinema in Germany last year, it was awesome, next best thing to being there I reckon.

 

[Rotayjay]

Otto stays.

Carn the Crows.

So happy for Otten, so well deserved. Nothing surer he'll tear it up.

Not one person on the Richmond board has even come close to saying this.

.. Any legs to the rumour that Rory Sloane has done a hamstring at training? :/

(Not trying to stir the pot - I don't know who I want to win this weekend!)

 

[threefa9]

Gov will get another chance. Happy for Otto, get the feeling he could have a huge game taking the 6th best defender

 

[hey shorty]

That was my thoughts, he didn't play last time in any case

 

[Geoffa32]

Good to hear we are taking no risks.

Hopefully Otto stays in. He is the definition of reslience.

Nah it was on open training session. He trained fine

Not if Crows take plenty of marks inside 50.

Pretty sure he had a good game early in the year against them too.

STOP TROLLING

 

[Bald]

STOP TROLLING

Genuinely was asking as it was something I'd read. Glad it does not appear to be the case.

 

[CrowBloke]

Even though tex stated he thinks Jenkins is the best ruck forward in the game

But, but ... sanders knows better than Tex. Just ask sanders.

 

[fuddrooster]

Otten played in that 76 point smashing of Richmond in round 6 and played his role well, up forward, that day.
