Game Day R16 - Adelaide v Richmond at the MCG (What could go wrong?)

[Peter Doherty]

Is it just me but this timeslot isn't that bad for away games.

You get stuff done early in the day, then you get the big lead in on 7 and Fox that makes it feel like it's a bigger game than it is.

Some of the other timeslots you get a 10 min lead in.

Please ROB stay out of the forwardline

Perfect conditions

Hope you don't suffer from vertigo!

Smith and Murphy both unbalancing the side and basically forcing the team into a very small selection of changes they can make via the sub move.

Given Murphy's performances in 4th quarters I wonder if we'll get a season low output from the sub position this week.

 

[Carn The Texan]

Some light showers earlier but relatively dry underfoot on the walk in. Still think longer stops on the boots will be a good option on a softer deck but the ball will have grip. Predictably poor crowd for a Sunday arvo winter game against a Vic team having a poor year (and notably fickle fan base).

Sun is out now so all in all great conditions for football.

 

[Crowstar]

If Smurphy has to be in the team, I'll take him as the sub. Means he's 1 step closer to being dropped.
I know my expectations are high for him but I'm thinking his stat line will be 3 possessions, 1 tackle, 0 score involvements and 4 clangers.

 

[Geoffa32]

Murphy as sub.

The three disposals he will get once subbed on will be vital.....

 

[Soggy2112]

Well fox sports can go **** themselves for that

Actually, could this be a genuine case of not playing the sub tactically.

I really like that red guernsey. Wish they'd get rid of the yellow around the collar though.

Not a terrible time slot, 10:15pm on a Saturday Night

Course these days, that is past my bedtime but hey--20-25 years ago it was perfect

 

[Samcro24]

Oh look it’s our lucky red guernsey

Thanks for showing that 2017 final you pricks

 

[Redleg Crow]

Weather looks nice. Big win

This is likely to be Richmond’s lowest home crowd at the G this year.

Lowest - 29,539 against West Coast.

Lol
The "jungle drum" intro for Richmond is kinda cool but the delay of the drums coming thru the PA against the sound of drums in real life is making some really trippy flange effect

I like it

He is the sub. But if it is a close game activating the sub at 3 quarter time may not be the most wise decision. Play him in a defensive role, he can tackle.

I think the Tigers are going to make us earn this one. We cannot be complacent.

 

[radiojake]

Still ten mins but it be lucky to have 30k here right now

Look just like Pittspuke

Switched Kayo on at the wrong time
I wasn’t happy either

Helps there’s no 12:10/12:40 game on Fox as well

I have no trust in us at all. Any time i have an expectation, we lose so I reside myself to whatever happens, happens.

Not expecting a 60+ point game. More like 20-40 range. But have that dreaded feeling we'll start slow.
