[Flawed Genius]

[The Nostradamus]

Out: EVW
In: Maj

Waite can have another weeks rest

 

[gustev]

Out: EVW, In: Bmac

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I don't know what Turner has to offer at the moment.

One goal for the season if the commentary tonight is correct. Seems to hand off if he's outside 40. He doesn't seem to be offering the forward pressure he used to.

I think with Waite to come back and Garner down the track it's between Kayne and Zurhaar and Cam is just offering a little bit more.

Scamper, my Little Geelong Cat:

Meows the following:

 

[the big lebowski]

Waite for Turner the obvious one

Maj, Neilson, LDU or Ahern in for EVW

 

[Shinboner roo]

If we win this one im getting a ban hammer.

 

[Moti]

Waite for Turner, Maj for EVW.

Sydney kicker long a lot more than any other team this week because Maj wasn’t there.

Wood has probably caused us a few headaches.
Richmond arent a tall side and it showed last year.

Can we play Wood, Brown and Waite? I dont think so.
Maj for EVW seems the choice but McDonald and Turner are offering utensil up front.
Tough one.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Maj and waite for turner and evw. Simple. Majak makes our backline look better and adds to the ruck has to come back if fit allowing brown to stay fwd. Waite roaming around the ground marking

 

[Pykie]

Give Waite an extra week, simple.

He's 35 years old.

 

[ferball]

I don't know what Turner has to offer at the moment.

Game saving tackle in the last among other things. But ... he needed to kick that goal.

 

[Benno_900]

IN: Waite, Maj, Ahern
OUT: Turner, EVW, Zurhaar

FFS - Wood is not a ******* dinosaur.

He is more mobile than half his teammates smaller than him.

 

[muttley45]

Might be risky, but i would like to see Ahern debut v Premiers for a baptism of fire.

His mobility isnt of concern
Its the pressure. Unless Waite plays on the wing or whatnot I cant see us fitting all three in the lineup

Why is pressure more valued than talent nowadays?

Pressure did not win Richmond the flag - Dustin Martin did.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Stakes are huge for this game now, all we can hope for is to look really good and competitive to prove once again we're legit. Maj comes in for EVW and I feel he'll cover well for him.

Ahern could come in? Wood absolutely stays.

I said it as much in my post about Mason
He’s a matchwinner and they’re a dime a dozen

Waite is one too and I just hope we get the balance right

Agree. This game is it. We scrounge this win and it is on like donkey kong this year.

Mate if we win that game, oh my god. People will stand up and recognise, it will ECLIPSE the Adelaide win last season no matter the outcome because nobody in our position of expectations has bested the Tiges. Now I don't expect a win, then again I didn't expect a win tonight but it's different here, and if North even as much as take Richmond to the limit, we're looking fantastic.

 

[hellas_johnny]

I dont see a problem having wood and waite in the side together, we used the use the triple towers when we were making finals and it worked well. wood is more mobile then those players aswell, think it will be fine.

 

[wazza03]

Don’t think that Daw will come in, Richmond are small up front, we don’t need 3 talls down back
One change for mine,
In: Waite
Out: EVW

[Snake_Baker]

I get firm when I think what a fit and firing..........

Ziebell, Brown, Turner
Garner, Waite, Wood

............could do with a good midfield in September.

That's some serious marking power.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Stiff on Maj, but better to be safe than sorry with a foot injury (BS tells him that, but it's really because of Richmond's small forward line) and it will just be:

Waite for EVW.

Maj back in the week after... Most likely for McDonald, with MacMillan pushing up to a wing.
