Unofficial Preview Changes & pre match discussion vs Richmond

[Chip Scab1]

It does say Managed for Hopper….whatever that means these days.

It's the polite way of saying "you're no good, but we don't want to drop you and hurt your feelings (because we might need you one day).

This trading by Richmond is almost “Rawlingesque”.

Hopper / 2 first round picks (current and future).

Taranto / pick 12 and 19.

2 slow plodding butchers occupying a lot of salary space.

I feel like sometimes if North were honest, they would frame it something like this;

Outs: Wardlaw (Mismanaged)

One would think after last week there is no chance in hell that these forwards below could stink it up again this week.

Souva, Zuurhar, BGZ and Spargo. Need to see them contribute +11 goals as a group at a minimum. If Spargo is cut, then Dova/Kont chip in 2-3 goals as part of that +11.

Richmond have given up 15 goals a game and 30.4 scoring shots per match. Need to take advantage and dine out on them this week to keep our % healthy.

 

[The Nostradamus]

This leaves us with zero pressure i50…….not great.

If Dova and Konstanty come in for banch and spargo then we are fine

Hopefully this happens

Is he emergency?

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Is he emergency?

Not mentioned there. They have about 3 names in there that look made up. Peucker, Retschko, Hayes-Brown.

A lot of their 2025 intake are injured and just can’t get on the park, or are just shite at this early start of their career.

 

[Reginald0]

It’s like they are recruiting from behind the Iron Curtain

Weird how other clubs manage players.. managed means not in emergency list

It was afternoon and you really need to get over yourself if you think an incorrect disposal of minimal consequence will haunt you for the rest of your life

Or you are taking the piss

It was the moment all the goodwill was sucked out of our day and week. You just can't have your senior blokes making such terrible mistakes.

Each to their own, of course.

 

[FlyHigh18]

so on a positive note... no matter win or lose against richmond... is that CCJ will be out and X will be in next week

Bailey was horrible in the academy game, so I will be very surprised if he comes in.

 

[gustev]

I have it on good authority Bailey is fighting for selection against a wet paper bag.

And it's paying $1.80 both ways.

The Tigers team is diabolical. No excuse not to win by 30+.

 

[JZTIME!]

The Tigers team is diabolical. No excuse not to win by 30+.

I guess what most are worried about is a drop off in our endeavor. Come with the same intent to defend and pressure we have shown. Yes we can win by 30 plus. The WC game showed that when we relaxed and gave them a sniff, it opens the floodgates

 

[Chadwiko]

The skywriter I paid to write "Goad not CCJ" is doing a terrible job

 

[SunnyBoner]

The Tigers team is diabolical. No excuse not to win by 30+.

Lots of kids but they still have a lot of experience in defence.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

I wish Clarko would be just more direct in answering some of the soft ball questions tossed up to him.

Reporter: “Richmond on paper look weak and have not won a game. You go in favourites.”

Clarko: “3 minute diplomatic word salad of nothing.”

Real Clarko: “We are aiming to crush a side with no confidence, 0 wins, lots of injuries and do a real number on them. Anything less than 10 goals would be a major disappointment for this club!!”

RICHMOND will unveil Patrick Retschko for his AFL debut against North Melbourne on Sunday at Marvel Stadium.

The lifelong Tigers fan was traded from Geelong for pick No.99 at the end of last season after initially being delisted by the Cats following a season on the rookie list.

Retschko is considered to have elite endurance and running ability, clocking a 6.09 time for the two-kilometre time trial in the 2024 Draft Combine.

 

[Passmore]

In Dovaston

Scott GD emergency.
