richo in

[Tiger_Of_Old]

richo named in the side:O

IN:richo,biddescombe and hudson
OUT:holland,rogers and krakour.
EMERGettifer,vardy and rogers.
id say we will wait to the 11 and a half hour on richo if he gets thru the fitness test then our chances of winning increases just on team balance.
if richo dosent come up id say vardy will be in.
no suprise really with the other selections.
rogers needs to do a hilton
krakour needs more time on the feild for coburg.
cheers!

I hope Richo is right, otherwise give him another week even if it the difference b/w winning and losing this week. Krakouer needed a rest. Let's hope Huddo can fire up against on of his old teams this week.

Well Richo has had the 21 days tommorow since the injury which is what you generally look at but who knows whether he will play or not, agree Vardy will probably come in if he doesn't play.

The Teams

If Richos a genuine in and not a furphy, he should be jumpin out of skin to play, and could be ripe for a blinder (I Hope ).
Both teams look good on paper, to their respective supporters.
How they play on the field is anyones guess ?

 

[TheFoxhat]

If the weather is rainy like today ( thursday)it should'nt pose any problems for richo.

As I said in another thread, I will expect Rogers to be a late change for Richo - a Rory Hilton style kick in the pants!

I just think our match committee are playing funny buggers!

Wouldn't Vardy be the more obvious replacement???

I know he hasnt played for a few weeks but desperate times...

I think Rogers is the more obvious replacement. It is not as simple as replacing a tall for a tall.

The only times Richo plays in defence is when he is lost - maybe run to the wrong end of the ground - whereas Vardy simply isn't good enough to play up forward - not a strong enough mark or good enough kick.

Rogers though is a proven forward who won our goalkicking only 2 years back.

i suggest this senerio if richo dosent play and vardy comes in.

id say thompson will start in the ruck for the hawks.

starting lineup:
gasper to go with holland
zantuck to go with barker
torney to go with nixon

ottens to start in the centre then move to ff.
kellaway to run with thompson around the ground.
hall to play at chf then move into the ruck when williams [hawks] comes on.
when they move thompson to the fwd line bring on vardy onto holland and gasper onto thompson.
plan B me thinks.
cheers!

I think that he wont play. Seems silly they would drop kracker and put in richo. They work well together.

 

[damnfine]

Looks likely Gaspar will be the one out..

 

[TheFoxhat]

Gas might not play yet- groin strain. Or is it the start of the dreaded O.P????????????

 

[RichmondTiger5]

i've so glade Richo was a late with draw would of been awful if he come back and did his hammy agian as was out for an other few weeks so he should be all set for the Crows game n hopfuly he will play well.
