Round 10 vs Richmond Tigers

[RUNVS]

Barlow and Kennelly could be coming back for this game. On paper the Swans SHOULD win this game but Richmond have been in reasonably good form of late so it could be a tough game.

Also only 2 games left without Barry Hall then he will be back bigger and badder than ever

Whos going to the game?

Last time we played Richo it was a night time game at the SCG and we did really well against them cant remember the score!

Havnt seen to many games of Richos this year but i hear they are alot better than last year!

Should be a good game!

Are we playing Richmond or Richo... or is that the same thing.

Seriously though, Richmond have lifted there game (and so has Richo) this year. It is more of a running base game though and while it has improved good midfield pressure sees it come back to the fore.

The swans will be expected to win it and rightly so.

Ive watched quite afew of their games and their tackling is ALOT better than in previous years. That put alot more pressure on the opposition than in the past so it will be interesting to see how they go against the Swans.

Worried about this game. I know the boys wouldn't be complacent about versing a side who's on the bottom 4. We should be very wary of the Tigers; they gave a bit to Geelong and Essendon over the past two weeks.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

They beat collingwood last year aswell

Tiger tough

more than that, we also drew with the dogs, lost by 12 to hawks and smashed freo by 10 goals at subi so our form over the last 5 weeks has been pretty good

For sure our side wouldn't take the Tiger's lightly. You guys are running into some good form, unfortunate for those unlucky losses.

im excited 2 see Richards in the man flesh hes a bit of a spunk lol

 

[natlovestheswans]

I think Bird's time might be up, I think maybe Barlow or Fossie will come in for him. Other than that I don't think there will be any changes, I think they'll give Tadhg another week to recover.

 

[ssfc0203]

I'm going to the game, should be pretty good.

Changes ?

I don't think Bird will go down, to be honest. Roosy might stick with him for the season, and I'm alright with that.

bolts on richo and he aint gonna do anything.

i'd be fine with giving the irishman another week off

 

[Jaymeee]

not a popular decision, but Mal is just not right yet.

He made several mistakes against PA, and is very tentative.

if he continues to play in the seniors at 60-70 % he will do more harm than good, not just to the team but to his confidence as well.

Mal out, Barlow in
Bird out, Fosdike in

I agree. Kennelly was in out last year and played while unfit last year. We should try an ensure he is not going to play injured against a middle of the road team. Its not that I want to show disrespect to Richmond who have improved a lot but we should be able to cover him against the tigers.

you're right, i thought that yesterday
it's great he's back, but he was very tentative yesterday, seems to not be at all confident, and yes, maybe rest him and bring in the cheese
not sure i'd cut bird yet, not sure if fossie's going well enough, but maybe giving bird a break from seniors would be good at some point
he's still done really well so far though

Tiges are 11th - we are very happy to be out of the bottom 4. Please don't pop us back down there. Ta.

now you made me feel guilty

ive always had a little soft spot for the tigers

I think she intended to say previously top 4, but I agree. You're nothing like you were last year.

 

[Strawbs]

We'd have to play better than last night to be competitive this week. I think the Swanees are flag contenders. Brett Kirk is my favourite non-Tiger. How tough is he? And Jude Bolton doesn't seem to get much fanfare but he's a bloody goer isn't he?

Yeah, what she said.

 

[grimlock]

Danger game, Tigers have been close in a few games without getting up. Nathan G. has to be stopped along with Richoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

 

[Oh we're from..]

Swans are flying. Tigers will have to lift a fair bit on this weeks performance to take it to the swans. Hopefully a good game though, tigers have been pretty good at the contested stuff this year

Yeah, he is. Majorly underrated by everyone, even me at times ...

Crunch match for the Tiges: If we are really any good at all, we'll have to knock down those top 8.

Hall playing or injured still?
