No changes for Richmond game!!

[darren forssman]

We haven't won a game without Steven King all year. When King goes down during the game we have lost. When was the last time Geelong won a game (NAB excluded) when the skipper was not playing?

Not a jab but a serious question.

i think we won quite a few last year without him from memory.

Let's get Nath in - the only thing close to seeing Ablett Snr hammer the Tigers wuold be seeing the two sons do the same.

I still don't think Nathan Ablett is ready, but for all that it wouldn't be the worst idea. Richmond do not have a tall backline and playing Playfair, Kingsley and Nathan Ablett, plus probably Mackie gives them a lot of potential problems.

Can't see them promoting him however. Most likely Mackie and Byrnes.

Yep, this is the problem - he just doesn't seem ready, yet NA could cause so much damage this week if he fires and gets some decent delivery. It's a real dilemma for the selectors. He'll only do so well if he's stuck in the twos all year, but then again he still has to prove himself.

I'd try him, we have hardly any other options worth a grain of salt right now.

In: Blake + Mackie/Byrnes/Woj

 

[Jock Clark 2]

GET Wojcinski in quick.
Leave Nablett in the 2s.

I don't think that Charlie Gardiner would get a game for Wycheproof

Won't improve the side, IMO.

All it does is add a little pace...

Andrew Mackie told me tonight that he is in. So take that for what it's worth. King himself tonight said he is definately out.

Excellent....Mackie has ace skills.
