Preview Geelong v Richmond Friday May7 2021 7:50 pm @ MCG

[CatToTheFuture]

Maybe there will be a few melts - looks like Mitch went early last night and got it wrong, no Ratugolea

Might have caught a correct rumour about him not playing vfl and strung the rest out himself

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Is Ratagolea a likely late in tomorrow night given he's not playing this evening?

He was probably a carry over emergency but the media decided to go early on the rumour. They haven't been pulling late changes at all in the last couple of years so doubt it

 

[Kitcat]

Yeah agree - i was actually going to put a bit of money on the Cats quite a bit of money - at the odds - if they picked the right team

No way known now - terrible slow side - DHouse Simpson and Close are all slow - fodder against Richmond - and they have 3 of them in the forward line

Stanley keeps his spot !!!

7-8 goal loss coming up - pencil it in

Thank goodness i havent listened to a Chris Scott press conference for 3 years - because Friday night it will do your head in .

Why is Simpson slow? In traffic, me is quick.

Clark out of form is still better then Guthrie. Clark averaging 16 touches a game this season is hardly terrible either for a flanker.

True but clark strikes me as a confidence player..he either needs to be in the 22 solid or racking up numbers at vfl level..being the medical sub is no good for him.

Simpson isnt fast but his sidestep gives him time..he is class.

 

[Whiskers]

I’ve been listening to the media this week and a number of them pumping up our chances so I was getting a tad hopeful.

Than I visited this thread.

I can't understand the Guthrie inclusion.

It makes zero sense since we are $2.41 odds. Massive underdogs.

No he shouldn’t be the sub. He should be in the team.

over on the Richmond board they are claiming their big weakness is being unable to counter outside speed.

well we just dropped outside speed and replaced him with a slow plodder.

 

[you pick one]

ZUTHRIE FFS

Ratugolea late in or injury setback? YOU BE THE JUDGE.

Im stoked that the club is sticking to its conservative approach with Ratugolea CE, no point in throwing him to the wolves in such a high-stakes, high-pressure game imo... another week or 2 in the VFL won’t hurt him ..

 

[Gogeelong]

Hawkins has a point to prove against Richmond after failing to nail a few shots for goal. He booted 1.2 from only three kicks for the entire game.

I doubt anything about this is a sign of conservatism. If it was he would have played VFL last night. He’s either playing tonight or injured.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Zuthrie is an honest trier, does what the coaches want and is a really nice, soft spoken kid, but time has proved he just isn't up to AFL standard. I agree with others, give a young potential kid a shot, or give Clark/Narkle some continuity to their game.
Honestly it doesn't matter for tonight's game of course, 22nd picked is almost irrelevant but it could matter in a few years.

Who's suss injury-wise - Stanley, Cameron or Hawkins?

Rhys I reckon.

I think Ratagolea plays as a late in. He didn’t play VFL as an AFL emergency last night. Given CS’s love of him as a walk up Best 22 when fit, it makes NO sense to have him miss a game of footy this weekend and simply further delay his comeback, and he’s not the kind of player you’re likely to use as a medical sub.

My thinking too. Not sure what game CS and the match selection team are playing, though

I ended up getting tix for tonights match through a mate who is an AFL member but if I was a member of the public there's no way to get tickets. If I goto the ticketek site it only has 3 categories - "MCC Reserve", "AFL Reserve" and "Club Members and Public Reserve". The problem is if I choose that last option it insists I have a membership number. How would a non member buy a ticket for tonights game?

With the last option you just press the green “Find tickets” button without entering membership details.

 

[Partridge]

I got that, truly, I was just saying an 8 goal loss is not over the top given our team, the venue, and the team we are playing.

Except that they are missing three key midfielders and their best defender.

No way should we be conceding an eight goal loss. This one is winnable.

 

[Waverley73]

There is no find tickets. It has a greyed out button that say 'unlock tickets' - which can only be done with a membership number.

[Drunkcat]

Zuthrie is in the side as i got a tip he will tag Dusty tonight, Zuthrie to keep Dusty to 10 disposals and be man of the match

Maybe gen admin tickets are sold out.
