How good would it be.

[wegs on pendles]

How good would it be if the richmond ruckmen troy symonds and trent noble didnt play. i mean that would leave adam pattison to do all the ruck work throughout the night and it migh have too come down to richo maybe playing there. fraser could carve up hitouts and pozzies and maybe richards can do something for once.

 

[Invigoration]

Simmonds isnt playing. And Knoble is one of the worst players in the league. I should think this would be the best chance for our ruckmen to show their stuff for the whole year

 

[THATSGOLD]

knobel is out!

 

[Invigoration]

Yeah and so is Anthony

 

[sante]

Patto > Richards.


I'm not trying to troll FWIW.


From what I've seen of Guy, he doesn't seem to be the mobile type who runs around the ground and takes marks inside 50. This will suit Pattison because he is obviously young and inexperienced and gets lost in traffic.

Everitt and Cloke carved him up in that area and the hitouts.

 

[Invigoration]

Ruckwork speaking:

Richards>Cloke

So if the other week it was Cloke>Patto

Then Richards>>>Patto

We bag the hell out of Richards, but I'd be stunned to see even him get beaten by Pattison, so yes, your trolling.
They are both inexperienced and easily lost around the ground, it will be interesting for both of them

You forget that Richards is our backup...

Fraser will MURDER Pattison.

 

[sante]

I thought Fraser was moved into your Forward line as a forward?

I must admit, the only team I haven't seen play properly in 2007 is Collingwood.

 

[Dazman]

Fraser will never be a full time forward.

 

[Coin_Toss]

I thought Fraser was moved into your Forward line as a forward?

No;

Fraser and Richards are sharing the ruck load.

Will Simmonds play? I heard him say a few days ago he was going to return next week, confidently, no maybe's or but's about it.

Thats how many keyboard coaches there are on this site that a Tiges follower thought Fraser was a forward. Every 2nd Magpie supporter wants him as a forward. It would be like if Richo played ruck for the Tiges, mildly amusing but ultimately about as satisfying as making love to a cheese grater! We'd be dead if he didn't play ruck for us. Hope we don't play like last year.

pattison was best on ground against the pies a few weeks ago in the practice match and shared the ruck duties with polak that day. Didn't fraser play? I also belive that you can't read to much into practice match form but pattison has shown signs of improving of late.

Having said that, you would expect fraser to beat our third or fourth ruck option.

Pattison was soundly beaten by Cameron Cloke.

I think it's safe to say that Josh Fraser should kill him.

there would be something wrong if fraser couldn't beat pattison

 

[WakeUpPies]

frazer is too big of a long stick in the foward line (that make sense?), like a grasshoppper that cant hop, pretty useless, put him in the ruck his a ruckman

 

[Aristotel]

It would be nice not to have to rely on opposition team's injuries to give ourselves a perceived advantage.

I personally would like to see Symonds play (I know he wont), I think Fraser would beat him hands down. Josh wont play two ordinary games in a row....

 

[daics cousin]

By all reports in the print media ,is that Knobel wontplay,simmonds won't play and neither will nathan brown.Brown may come in for the tiges next week aginst his old side the bulldogs.
So ,that being the case Pattison and pollack plus richo to share ruck duties upsets their team plan.
Given that,their team plan is upset,if we can't beat the Tigers with their team in disarray we deserve to be bottom 4.SHEEEEEEEEEESHHHHHHHHH !
So i'll say pies by 30 points.......I hope.
