2019 Richmond looked completely done early in the season. We did them in to the tune of 11 goals, North did them by 6 goals. They got to July 8-6. For us to get to July and be on the same terms we need 5 wins. Cannot afford to drop a game but it's been done before, and Richmond had more players out than us at this point.We will be a chance to scrape into the bottom of the 8 but that is effectively season over for mine. Need to finish top 4 to be a legitimate chance.
The worse thing is if we end up missing the 8 we don't even get a top draft pick to soften the blow.
This is the point. We are NOT playing well. We have had no consistency of personnel to date and a tremendously shortened pre-season. But luckily so far we are 3/2 and in touch with Top 4. But I don’t sense doom and gloom coming out of the club. Yes we’ll need to win some seemingly difficult games some time soon (this Saturday would be nice) but let’s not forget where Richmond were at half way through last season due to injury and loss of form. Came home in a tidal wave of great form.
FAR too early to be drawing conclusions IMO.
Considering how many players are out, just returned and yet to “sync” with teammates, particularly in F50, we are actually in pretty good shape.

be nice to steal the tigers luck lol, rance really the only injury theyve had in 4 years and it actually made them better, exposing how he was never that great of a defender
What is it with tuggers being insecure little flogs?came here to say sh*t news on danger, but couldnt help but laugh at this one
Just last year we were missing Prestia, Nankervis for 3 months each with the same injury danger has. Plus missing Edwards and Houli for the majority of the year due to family reasons and us being in the hub. Thats not even mentioning Astbury doing his knee in round 3 and not coming back until the very end of the season, as well as Grimes missing a few with a hammy.
I can get into our f’ed injury list in 2019 if you like too?..... the "healthy tigers" thing is a myth

No one cares mate.
Insecure, because how dare anyone have an opinion about your club, on another teams board.hahah insecure because im correcting bullshit?
ahhh k cool

Why was danger playing vfl practise games rather than resting up.
Yeah your injury run in 2019 was horrid and also the one thing that gives me hope that we can turn it aroundcame here to say sh*t news on danger, but couldnt help but laugh at this one

You are doing it wrongthis was going to be my point, its one player
you are still a very good side and will win your fair share without him
Yeah, could still be a bridge too far, but 5 wins from the 6 against saints, west coast at home, Carlton, Sydney, Suns, Collingwood and we've got the same 8-6 going into July that you had. Makes it harder though. Good teams lift so we'll find out what we are this Saturday.this was going to be my point, its one player

Resting up from the wear and tear of match play so he would be fresher then everyone else and could rest up his niggling injuries. that wasn’t supposed to be a head scratcher.What exactly would he have been resting up from?
If he wasn't suspended he would have been playing seniors, so surely it's not that surprising that the club decided it was a good option to keep up his fitness in the practice matches

Personally I wouldn’t be spending time on any opposition boards let alone picking fightshahah insecure because im correcting bullshit?

It may well be a bigger issue. Doesnt mean other issues disapear. Or it could just be that danger had injuries at the end of last year, is old, and coming off the shortest pre season break in 120 years.That's a joke right?
Dangerfield had summer to rest us any niggling injuries and deal with his groin complaint - this past month was about building up his workload and match fitness for the season ahead
He had a 3 week suspension, played 2 practice matches and had a week off in the middle - so played less football than if he wasn't suspended or if he was suspended during the actual VFL season
And if a player requires a 3 week rest just one week into the season to "freshen up", then that sounds like a bigger issue compared with the player getting a run in some practice matches to ensure their match fit & ready to go at the start of the season
If he was in that much need for a rest after round 1 he shouldn't have been playing the practice matches or round 1It may well be a bigger issue. Doesnt mean other issues disapear.

Yep but dusty didn't miss 2 months, we could have Stanley, Duncan and O'Connor miss large chunks and it wouldn't be as big as a hole as danger. He's our match winner, he can rip a game apart in the middle, or can kick a bag up fwd.
Let's play some youth, we have enough experience,
Stanley missing an extended period would be just as significant as Danger missing IMO. The only other ruck prospects on our list are Fort (not AFL standard), Ratugolea (recovering from serious injury, majority of AFL experience has been forward) and an untried teenager in Neale. I shudder to think about it.
