Melbourne Vs Richmond

[Grechy]

Sellout? I think it very well could be.

Melbourne have a decent supporter base and well the Tigers when they're on a roll, they could sell the TD out by themselves. I just hope we can continue this good form and beat a good Melbourne side who will very much test us.

We might actually be favourites against the Dees and we have deserved the right to be. My question is midfield matchups. The midfield battle will be the decider in this match, I think Melbournes forward line is very potent if not on par with us with Holland, Green, Neitz, Robertson (gawd I hate him).

Would of loved to have Tambling next week to run with Aaron Davey. But he will get his chance.

It's gonna be a tough match.

It could become a sellout so if you wanna get a good seat go out and get tickets now. Top 4 clash big game and one i would love us to win

Go tigers!

 

[raikkonen64]

yep i tipped a sellout 2 weeks ago, so i already have my tickets.
It will be a classic game, with whoever wins will be well on there way to a top 4 finish.

 

[Bentleigh]

Its at the Dome, sellout.

Bruce has to be tagged.

We are going to struggle.

No Hall, Stafford (?), Bowden, Tambling, Hartigan (?) etc.

 

[Grechy]

We really need Hartigan right now. We just need someone with defensive abilities who can replace our missing defenders as it will catch up to us soon enough. Is it time for Morrisson to come back in maybe?

I wouldnt play Hartigan. He must be 100%. A 3rd hammy tear would kill the lad. Hall, Hartigan & Bowden is a huge loss. 3 of our back 6.

I'd play Kane Johnson on a hbf and push Hyde back to regain form/confidence.

Jackson must play.


Graham Gaspar Newman
Kellaway Schultz Johnson
Tivendale Coughlan Deledio
Pettifer Richardson Simmonds
Stafford Brown Krakouer
Knobel Tuck Hyde
Chaffey Campbell Meyer Jackson

Bowdens injury reported as not bad and possible for next week. Suspect a massive shiner on his cheek though. And Stafford will be back.

[Grechy]

Well then I still think it's time for Morrisson to get a chance. It could free up a few of our other players and really I think Morrisson is a good player but just needs to get more game time.

I mean the way we are travelling at the moment, we wouldn't want to have to many more changes to the lineup but I think that we should now start building depth and that means giving players like Morrisson, Raines and Roach a few runs. It's time to start building the attitude that the 22 players that are playing out there are the BEST 22 that could possibly be fielded before every game, a bit of competition amongst the players for starting 22 will only lead to further development.

hmmmm 2 MCG tennants, why at the DOme?

 

[Bentleigh]

hmmmm 2 MCG tennants, why at the DOme?

'Cause the AFL are ********ers.

 

[Croat tiger]

hmmmm 2 MCG tennants, why at the DOme?

i'll tell you why because the afl didn't expect our revival when they did the fixture last year, now it's going cost them big bucks.

Im worried about this week.They'll be pumped after their schyte last qtr against the blues. They look damn good on paper.

I wouldnt be, there last qaurter just shows the degree on how easily that team can drop off. I think their gonna come out flat just the way they finished off.
TW will have our boys ready for this, hopefully we've really learnt after the Geelong and St Kilda build ups.

Stop it. You're getting me all excited. Im keeping a low profile on this one.

I'll be tipping you blokes by a mile!! They took their foot off the gas in the last qtr...nothing more.
They will have no chance against the tall timber in your fwd line,if you break even in the middle ,that's Robbo and Yze taken care of,and if Gas has a good day on Neitz....that's the ball game

Soon to be a fully Ticket match to get in Already have my tickets for the big game

Should be a belter. Can't say the name Holland puts a lot of fear into me... have seen enough of him to know what he's capable of - not a lot.
Robertson, Davey and Yze are very dangerous - but we have the right type of players to match up on them - Kellaway, Chaffey, Newman.
Gasper is playing well and should be able to keep Neitz to only a few goals.
Melbourne are really going to miss Rivers this week.
Richo, Stafford and Simmonds is going to be a big challenge for the Dees defence. White will have to drop back which to try and help control the 3 talls - he can't be in 3 places at once. Add Schultz - who we can use at either end.
A few Tiger players didn't have great games last week and expect them to step up this week - namely Tivenadle, Pettifer, Krakeour.

 

[Grechy]

Holland is still a threat because he is a big target and he's capable of taking big grabs and his second efforts are also pretty good. Not the danger man though, if I had to put my finger on the real danger it would have to be Adam Yze and Aaron Davey, also Brock Mclean is one that we don't want getting many possys.

 

[roo_stew]

Their engine room is pretty good also and bloody underrated. Johnson, Nathan R (I think) Brown, McDonald, Bruce, McLean, Green all get plenty of it.

 

[Infamy]

I can't be assed going back a page to quote it, but there is NO chance of bringing in Morisson for a crack
We are already going in very tall with Tambling & Bowden the outs and Stafford most likely to be back
There's no reason for Schulz to be dropped, he played pretty well for his first game back
Put in Jackson or Raines and we'll be right, pretty top heavy but we'll get away with it at the dome

 

[itsintheblood]

Brad Miller will be back in this week but there is a cloud hanging over Neitz.

Im worried about this game.
