Preview Changes & prematch discussion Rd8 vs Richmond

[Maybenextyear]

Whaaaaaat is rance going to play on a man ?

He usually plays on and beats 3 at time.

[King Hansen]

Takes mark. Stops. Kicks sideways.

This is how teams play 95% of the time in defence these days anyway.

 

[rippersnipper]

Ugh...not a massive fan of that team in this match tbh. Turner needs to be dropped and should have been ages ago. Zurhaar definitely offers more at this point imo. Daw's inclusion isn't underserved but not sure we need 3 talls in defence.

it'd be nice to live in a timeline where sideways/backwards kicks were never tolerated as a legitimate game tactic, the ball should always be moving forward.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He usually plays on no one and beats 3
other blokes opponents in two on one contests all the time.

If we have the ball from a mark/free/kick out in the backline, should we give it to Higgins, surround him with our 6 strongest players who tightly link arms facing out, then surround those 6 with the remaining 11 in another tight circle and all slowly walk our way up the ground as a tight unit while Higgins touches the ball on the ground every 10 metres? Then, once the group is say 20 metres out, merge the 2 rings tightly, push out while Higgins kicks the goal?

Then repeat and we'll beat Richmond's forward pressure. Obviously Richmond would try to break in, but I'd back our stronger side to protect Higgins every time. He'd kick around 16 goals.

 

[Rod Stroker]

This is the fastest deck in the comp, against the quickest team in the comp, and we go in with our tallest side for the year.
Goldy, Brown, Waite, Wood, Daw, Taz.

I can see the SACK SCOTTS thread copping a hiding on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'm ****ed if I know what they're doing.

We're obviously going to bomb, and bomb long.

For the billionth time, if you are worried about speed, Dumont and LMac should be out, that is the player group that need the speed

Not sure where this "too tall" is coming from?

Scotty Thompson 193cm. Majak 195cm. Tarrant 196cm. Wood 192cm. Waite 194cm. EVW 190cm.

Oscar Junker 193cm (midfielder) Mitch Hibberd (HBF) 192cm Atley (189cm)

Hartung, Simpkin and Anderson have given the pace we needed, Jacobs the class.

 

[Groin guru]

Richmond lower their eyes and find targets going forward better than anyone. I love Maj's resurgence this year but not sure this is the best match-up for him.

Non-issue if we apply sufficient pressure up the field. Need to do what we did 2 the dogs 2 years ago when Tarrant and thompson were cutting off everything and our mids didn't give them time or space.

I heard a whisper from an impeccable source yesterday that this was to be the changes. I said to the impeccable source "We better hold our marks" :stern look

Tarrant and Thompson are cutting off everything this year.

We're second in the comp for intercepts.

They won't be the reason if we lose.

On the money. Zurhaar's got a combination of strength and explosiveness which is handy against a mature team. One goal in 7 games from KT is not enough for a permanent forward. Perfect opportunity missed to rotate a couple of young fast guys through the final two slots. Too consertave on selection.

 

[RobZombie]

Considering spying on players at training from rival clubs is a real thing, i assume that they all just assume whatever they were wearing last week in a follow up to the next game as to not give away major best 22 changes unless it was public.

e.g. if LDU played in the VFL last week, assume he plays this week until the final teams are announced.

More important to have them working with the right teammates in game sim than try and trick opponent scouts a couple of hours before the teams are public anyway. The structures you're working on give away a lot more than individual players too.

Most weeks, at least. I’ve been to main sessions where blue vs whatever other colour didn’t exactly match selection.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I would have kept zurhaar in over Waite but I'm not too fussed either way

And have minimum turnovers

And have minimum turnovers

Yup. And our Defensive Pressure has to be on like Donkey Kong because if it ain't, it could get nasty. :stern look

Is that what it says on his Grindr profile?

No doubt you're happy with Maj being back. :stern look

 

[Kanga1996]

Begging for a late change.

Maj has to come out for this game.

Best available 22. I like it.

Mids win their battle and we’ll kill them in the air.

Go Roos!

 

[Kanga1996]

Richmond have 6 players who average 2 goals a game and another 5 who average 1 ,so I doubt Maj inclusion is going to cost us the game.

If course not. I think they are the best tandem in the league for doing that and have been for a couple of years now.

My point is the mids need to be on their game this week and not rely on them too much otherwise it'll be under siege 3.
