Duggan and that’s about it really. Venables played in the GF but is borderline b22.

Soldo is basically just as good as Nankervis anyway. Neither are A graders

Didn't Nankervis miss a few at the end of last year and play pretty average in the finals?

Soldo will simply try and pummel the Hickgod into the ground.
Tom will need to be up for a physical one I reckon.

Rance for the season, who is pretty potent for them. And Martin is playing sore.
IMHO it would be a bit like if we were missing all of Nic, Gov, Barrass, dropped Gaff and had Shuey playing hurt.
Dunno. Either way not the right time of year for it to be hitting players.

Once again, the best melts require a solid warm up.
Richmond are in good form, playing at home in conditions that suit them, Martin will be fresh and likely unhindered, their backline is playing just as well without Rance as with him, and Stack is a first year player who's been dropped (and will probably be a late in for a taller player). Expecting to win is going to lead to a world of emotional pain come game-day

You'll all just have to take my game-day melts in stride.

That’s a big stretch to me. Rance (lol, held Scott Lycett to a quiet day while Darling kicked 6 and had 15 marks last year), Cotchin and Nank, and Martin playing sore is not the same as us losing five players.
Re: Stack - I rate him, obviously he’s had a great year, but is Gaff the parallel you made there? Seems a reach to me. Hard to say you’re “missing” a best 22 player when you’ve voluntarily dropped them, albeit I’m surprised to see him dropped.
I think both Eagles (Naitanui, Duggan) and Richmond (Rance, Cotchin, Nankervis) are doing remarkably well in the health department. Neither team is anywhere close to half strength for me.
Dusty took the week off to see a psych to try and get Yeo out of his head.
All of our guys who've done media this week have been talking up the Yeo to Dusty as well. Yeo will be very fired up. Could end up getting suspended for some trivial BS if he gets too physical.
Especially when he comes into the outlet

Dark Sharks lite.
I can see Yeo getting quite psychical with Martin early on.
Not surprised about the unchanged lineup, hopefully both Masten and Cameron get a solid hit out tonight and fingers crossed Duggan goes well also.
Pretty much at full strength now... Richmond very healthy also, but missing a tad more (Cotchin, Nankervis, Rance) v NicNat/Duggan. Certainly don’t have half a team out LOL
Chol and Soldo have both rucked quite a bit this year, I could be wrong but I don’t think they will miss Nank that much this week anyway.

Cotchin has only been giving us 50% of his normal output this year when fit, struggled to get continuity. Graham has stood up in his stead and Jack Ross is back from injury and helping to cover.
Our backline is holding up fine without Rance as Grimes has basically assumed his role and is playing top shelf footy.
Nank is a good around the grounds ruckman but rarely puts one to advantage in the actual ruck. Soldo a more capable ruckman, less so around the ground.
I don't think you'll hear any excuses from us regarding injuries.
Thanks for the insight
Yes, you guys have played quite a bit without both Cotchin and Nankervis this year and the replacements have been excellent! Some good depth there for sure
Come off it.
Both teams are near full strength.
I don't see how them losing Nank will be the difference
In a win or loss.
Seeing as it's at their home ground, they should be favourites.
Just like we would be if it was in Perth.
I'm missing Jonathon 'The Journeyman' Giles, but that's a different kettle of fish
He's probably still sore from the chemical bath Yeoy gave him last time

1996 called. It wants its joke back.
Make you could update your material by quoting some Ali G?
On one hand, you complain about the number of my responses. On the other, you troll tag me to get my attention, presumably seeking a response.
You're as confused as your humour is dated.
