Looking at that bench, i'm tipping a late withdrawal or two.

Kelly, Egan and Chambers should be certainties from that bench, but i can't see them overlooking two of Tenace, Byrnes and Fumbles Johnson.

Egan may still be sore and they can play Mooney back in defence so he's no certainty. One of Chambers or Blake won't make the cut (unless Kingy doesn't pull up), and I'm tipping DJ isn't ready.

Blake and DJ to miss, i reckon

and the 3rd would be ?

Mackie would be a bit stiff I would think, as I thought he had a decent game last week.

Tenace or Byrnes?

 

[Copernicus]

Good to hear. Surprised to hear that DJ has been named - he'd probably want to give it another week I'd reckon.

Tenace or Byrnes?

I would have thought Chapman in, and Chambers out. Not that he was bad last week but Mackie and Tenace were both better. Maybe Shannon Byrnes? I'm interested to see how they line up. You'd think Richmond will go the following way:

Gaspar on Kingsley
Bowden on S.Johnson
Hall on Playfair
Kellaway on Nathan Ablett

We seem to have a size advantage down there, hopefully they can exploit it.

They wouldn't leave Unco out,unless Blake was playing.It'll be out of Tenace or Byrnes for the unlucky dropped player.

Good to see Chappy back!

Hall on Playfair

Now thats worth the drive just to see that mouth watering clash of the heavyweights.

I must admit Henry is improving slowly. He had 2 kicks against Essendon, 3 kicks against St Kilda, 5 kicks against Melbourne (and got in the best players in the hs) and 6 kicks against the eagles. Should be ready to fire with 7 kicks this week.

no chance at all in mackie coming out as he is named in the 18. nor should he come out for the rest of the year either, he is a quality player and must be played.

prior to this year one of his biggest weaknesses (apart from the obvious fact that he is too light on) was the defensive side to his game. he has improved in this area dramatically this year. he offers a lot to the side atm I think.

geez you're not a fan of h at all are ya??

 

[chapmanmagic35]

Mackie played ace last week! He'll stay in!

16 disposals, a goal!

Nathan Ablett has done more in 2 games than Henry has in 2 years. The figures for Playfair just don't stack up. He gets a couple of kicks (that mainly go nowhere) and all the supporters say he is a great prospect. He would struggle to play at senior level at nearly all the other 15 clubs. It's ok to have a battler in the back pocket, but not in such an important place as Centre Half Forward. He needs to command the ball and be able to back it up.

I know you're probably being cynical here, but that's actually quite humorous. Imgaine if we make the GF

But seriously, H will improve with every game he plays. He doesn't have the natural ability of some others on our list, but he does work hard to get into position and is starting to use his body well. I think he's a good prospect as he does have extremely good mobility for a guy who is 200cm. He still needs work, but his current play is 10 times better than it was at the start of the year.

One change - Chappy replaces Byrnes
