Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Essendon rd22 & Changes for Dogs rd23

In all likelihood Higgins probably misses but KMac will be discussed if everyone is fit.

I doubt it.
All opinions I guess, but I think Kmac will be in front of Higgins. When you consider the players that will be coming in, they are smaller type forwards or midfielders, not the role players that Kmac or BEllis are.
There’s definitely going to be 1 or 2 (probably more) unlucky players that look like missing.
Higgins will be a lock next year after another preseason and Baker will be pushing for a spot.
Could be an interesting trade period as we have players with value that probably won’t be getting many games next year. A chance to get some draft picks and get some fresh talent in I think.

 

[shaky]

Too slow. Has no defined role with Caddy and the mosquitoes up forward.

He is not a midfielder and not needed up forward. Too many more talented players in front of him.

Really liked his game on Friday, but agree, hard to find a spot in the team for him.
Having said that he is very versatile, that bump in the back line will have caught the coaches eye, just shows his footy smarts, tackle and the ball could have spilled to an oppo player, bump, keeps his feet and is still in the action.

 

[Tigertot]

That West Coast bloke couldn’t solve it either....

But as a mathematician... not really just know how to use a calculator... if west coast lose and Collingwood and Hawthorn win, they will finish 4th. If Sydney beats Hawthorn and West Coart lose but Collingwood win it is highly likely West Coast finish 3rd unless some massive results occur.

I wonder if out mate from west coast can mathematically tell me i am wrong.
First final at the G
Prelim final at the G
Grand final at the G
So mathmetically thats equals
(Wait for it)
G + G + G = B2B
If we play at our best it doesnt matter where we play because the TIGER ARMY will be there and support our boys over the line (rather be at the game supporting the boys than over a computer working out the odds)

TBH I'm happy Richmond look like getting the minor premiership because we all know what happened the last time you achieved that feat.

I am also sorry that West Coast can't finish top now. Unable to claim a moral premiership when they lose the Grand Final interstate.

 

[Bazzar]

Interesting Garthwaite racked up the most k' s for both sides, a respectable 14.6. Kmac not to bad with 14

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Help me out here. I can't seem to work the ladder predictor.

If West Coast lose against Brisbane, how much do Collingwood, Hawthorn or Sydney need to win by to push West Coast down to 3rd or 4th?

GOLD!!!

He looked really comfortable out there, very impressive.
Apart from the bullshit HTB free-kick which umpires tend to do for new players to the game, he was awesome!!!
He is ready for the backline

Watching the replay.
We had a 21-point lead with four minutes left and virtually squandered it.
Merrett missed narrowly, it would have been a three point margin, with ample time remaining.
If we play like that against a top side in finals it could be game over.
In terms of selections for finals, compared to last year, I would retain Short and Conca and omit Townsend and Butler in order of preference.

We assumed we'd done enough to get the win without over exerting ourselves. We were never losing that. Even if we did who cares. We're locked in first. Club knows what the priority is.

 

[Tiger Claw]

The difference I noticed about Lloyd's game Friday was he appeared to play a team game as opposed to what I considered more selfish outings in the past.

Liked his game - 2nd half. Lloyd put his body on the line and played the team %. Good stuff. But the poor bugger is probably one the next in line when Cotch, Prestia come back

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

I see him as first class depth. At the end of the day we've had changes through injury in all but 4 games and from memory only 2 unchanged lineups, so the odds are we wont have the magical best 22 in our three finals. He will be the perfect player if called upon.

Gidday Bazzar , big effort by the boy considering he missed the last 8 mins of the 3rd qtr and last 15 mins of the last? might have notched 16 kg, and Hooker might not have kicked those 3 late goals ??? got a good tank the boy, cheers.

Wouldn’t be too concerned considering what was at stake. We had nothing to play for and was probably trying to preserve ourselves. Bombers had everything to play for. Nothing to see here.

UNSUNG HEROES — ROUND 22

Richmond: Reece Conca

Returning for the first time after what looked to be a serious injury against the Swans, Reece Conca made an immediate impact for Richmond on Friday night. As the Tigers narrowly held off Essendon to end their season, Conca collected the footy 21 times, laid five tackles and had six score involvements.

 

[parmy2balmey]

conca and munchies stay in for me

find two other unlucky bastards to drop

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I noticed alot of people are very happy with our position and wins,but not our form going into finals.We look like a team one eye there already looking at the big picture just cruising for me.Boys being managed sore or resting and a heavy training load preparing us.No doubt a few things to fine tune and intensity to lift,but alot of teams below us going all guns blazing going very hard will play into our hands.

You couldn’t be better placed if you tried.

 

[Nuffers]

Not sure if they reached -100 but i think one of the recent Geelong teams had the worst differential... or maybe it was just negative full stop. To go back to back at the bottom of the free kick differential ladder would be something. afl just trying to keep our games close.

Not up to date for 2018, found this.

 

[parmy2balmey]

are butler and george cursed to miss because they changed their premiership numbers?

 

[rmcq]

Im finding it very hard getting at all interested in next week's game. I expect the players will subconsciously be feeling the same. Well, except for the fringe players trying to secure a place in the team of course.

A big chance for the doggies to snatch a win.

And one other thing. Since when does the 23rd best player on our list get so much love here? It’s almost like we're happy a player is injured because we get to see Sam play.

I love Sam Lloyd. Man has ice in his veins. Probably not just figuratively either

I love this chart because if you take out the first three years we go down about -200 further... add on this year and we are seriously competing for the greatest negative differential of the decade!!

 

[Terry1985]

The bulldogs are ****ing putrid and were lucky to beat carlton. We need to find our best form quickly

 

[Tigers123]

We will beat the dogs by 100 odd points, time to go real hard.

Bont likely misses also
