round 1: Judd V ------?

[Bird Man]

last time we played the blues with Judd playing i belive it was Martin? i could be wrong.

How will we "stop" Judd?

would love to see Trent have a crack or Lids maybe rotate these two on him?

Open to thoughts and opinons even from blue supporters on who they think teh tigers will play on Judd (no smart arse comments)

 

[El Tigre]

I reckon Jackson will the get the gig for most of the game. Martin for short stints to learn, but doesn't have the tank, the tactics, nor the tackle style to be able to be effective against Judd. I think that Lids will stay in the HB, as someone between Judd and the goals. The only other viable option is Grigg, but not sure whether its a good thing putting a first gamer (for Richmond) against Judd.

 

[_RT_]

I believe last time around Lids had the job for a while and then Tuck got to run with him. I believe this was because Jackson was out. This time I'd play Jackson on him and let our attacking players play their natural game.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I think it will probably be Grigg.

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Actually, Mitch Morton was the one running with Judd for the first half last time around. Lids had a stint in the second half from memory, and did well.

 

[KeilorUnder9s]

I think it will probably be Grigg.

Maybe, he would know a lot more about Judd then anyone else on our list. Going by his attitude I think he would love the chance to play on Judd for his first game

I thought I read that Jackson has been injured , not on full training load yet (did anyone else read that?). So may affect his time on Judd. It's good RFC have a few options to rotate off him. As far as Grigg goes I think it would be a big ask but with the right attitude who knows and it would be a great way for him continue to gain the respect of the rest of the team.

 

[Rustof]

Surely Griggs will be too busy rucking to tag Judd.

 

[cormick]

Assume it will be Jackson, but am warming to the idea of giving it to Grigg.

 

[tugga]

I'd say our midfield is ready to tackle theirs one on one and beat them anyway.
Why worry about one player when most don't judge him to be as good as the umpires do anyway?

Because he carries Carlton on his back. If you can do a good shutdown job on Judd, you're 90% of the way towards winning.

Jackson is the best option but given his injuries I'm not sure whether he'll be up to it. Possibly Grigg.

 

[MR]

Jackson, no doubt. He has done well with Judd in the past and so has Morton. I'd love to see Richmond beating Carlton. Carlton Forum raid ftw.

I would predict a record number of red cards being handed out lol.

 

[Bird Man]

any chance of Houli? watching the training seshes he has a brutal tackle

Having read some of the reply's if we shut down judd we can shut down carlton.. What about the Trio up front Betts ect ect... they kill us every game i believe?

there probz thinking the same thing shut down Jr8 shuts down richmond

I don't think Houli has enough height and run to go with Judd.

If we can keep them away from their open running game, i don't think their small forwards will be as problematic.

I don't think it'll matter too much whether they shut jack down or not. The game will be won in the midfield. We need to play contested footy, they need to play open footy.

 

[MR]

I honestly think our midfield is strong enough to take on Carltons and emerge victorious. How do you reckon Collins will fair, and who will play on him?

I doubt Collins will start on the ground....and I doubt much time will be spent on trying to think of a match up for him from our side IMO.

Not saying he can't have an impact, just something that can be taken care of matchday.

Henderson

Henderson

how did he beat our Lids surely he isn't as regarded as him?

 

[mitch richmond]

Jackson is our #1 tagger, strong and quick so I'd expect him to spend most of the game on Judd!

 

[Madtiger2006]

It was an even contest but a bad match up. Deledio is 8cm shorter

 

[Rustof]

Put a midfielder on a forward anyday and they'll be beaten.

Is an obvious troll. Don't get sucked in.

I reckon there will be a rotation on Judd, but I would like to see Grigg or Jackson do most of the work, with Lids covering him at stages as well.

I would also like Martin to have a run on him and learn how hard he needs to work and Cotch to have a run cos it would be great to see how he is coming along.

I agree, but I don't think he will be able to. I reckon Cotch will be the guy the blues tag, and most oppositions tag, in our midfield.

I reckon we should start with Jackson on him, play him on him for a half and see how he goes. If Judd gets on top, then you pretty much concede. Instead you play someone on him that can hurt him the other way, so atleast you can break even. Force him to be accountable if the tag doesn't work. Judd's a good player, but you win games by scoring, so I want to see our boys play positively and take it to the opposition.

The most important match up works in our favour imo. I can't see a defender they've got capable of stopping Riewoldt. If we can break even in the middle and get some good inside 50, Riewoldt looms as the matchwinner.
