Preview Round 14 v Saints MCG Saturday June 17th 7.25pm - Cotchin 300th

[RockJobster0312]

Ive seen a lot of people say we have a good run home, I dont see it. We will prob still need to win 8/10 from here. We play both Bulldogs and Saints at Marvel late in the year, they arent the sort of games we win. If we drop both we need to win every other game. That includes Brisi away, Port away, Melbourne. Then there is our obvious loss to North.

I did the ladder predictor and pretty much we can’t drop the game v Saints and have to win at least one if not two of Lions at the Gabba, Melbourne at the MCG, Port Adelaide at AO and Western Bulldogs at MCG and have other results go our way.

It’s possible, but it’ll be difficult.

Round 14, Richmond v St Kilda, Saturday, June 17, 7:25pm AEST, MCG

Backs	Noah Balta	21	Dylan Grimes	2	Nathan Broad	35
Half-Backs	Jayden Short	15	Nick Vlastuin	1	Daniel Rioli	17
Centreline	Kamdyn McIntosh	33	Tim Taranto	14	Jack Ross	5
Half-Forwards	Shai Bolton	29	Liam Baker	7	Jack Graham	34
Forwards	Samson Ryan	32	Jack Riewoldt	8	Dustin Martin	4
Followers	Toby Nankervis	25	Trent Cotchin	9	Dion Prestia	3
Interchange	Tylar Young	45	Maurice Rioli	10	Ben Miller	46
	Judson Clarke	42
Emergencies	Hugo Ralphsmith	13	Sam Banks	41	Tyler Sonsie	40
	Ivan Soldo	20

Interchange of Young, Rioli, Miller and Clarke has alarm bells all over it. On current form, all are in that bottom 4 team calibre. Why Young and Miller? Two plodders with serious game deficiencies. Surely one is enough. I guess that's where we are at ATM. Would hope they both aren't down back at the same time - if so, the team flood back will need to be the game plan.
Clarke and Rioli can go missing for large chunks of game time. But getting game time in is important as especially Clarke, he is coming on nicely - just needs another 15-20 games.

Really highlights our lack of depth is all.

I suppose if we can’t do that, we don’t deserve finals anyway

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

We wont be making finals guys chances are this year will require min 13 wins plus percentage or in our case 8 more wins from 11 games

 

[Crow_Sting]

Can’t fathom how Maurice Rioli (who I love by the way) who was average at best at VFL level last week gets in the side before Banks who has performed fairly consistently for the best part of 12 months.

I had us finishing 11th. Would rather that over 9th! Couldn’t deal with more s**t jokes!

need more talls

It’ll be the week Clarko comes back no doubt. Or Ratten will be sick and they’ll have another assistant fill in!

With oppo umpiring,we would be firmly ensconsed in the 8.

 

[richoplzbreed]

MRJ getting gifted another name is an absolute fu@ken disgrace! The only thing he's learning from this year is that sh!t performances will be rewarded with swift promotion. Well he's played 9 hot garbage games across all forms this year so he must be due a half decent one. Maybe 2 goals 10 touches (6 effective) against the Saints will be enough to ensure he plays out the season in the ones, then again doubt he's capable of half that. It's sad when the memory of Castagna is now looking like Pamela Anderson by comparison to our current crop of small forwards.

 

[dktm]

would have preferred having a look at Banks instead of rewarding MRJ for his ordinary ressies game. Baker has been playing the pressure forward role fantastically of late.
I think it's a missed opportunity to have a look at an unknown quantity.

If we get an ump clown show like last week,we can lose without it being our fault.

doable. We've won 4 of the last 6. Lynch and Hopper to come back in....

Clarke is surely due a breakout game. 20-25 touches and 3 goals

Hopper coming in doesnt necessarily improve us right now. Just means less midfield time for Prestia, Cotch, Martin. Which also forces all of Cotch, Prestia and Hopper to spend sometime forward, which doesnt help us. Hopper really needs to be replacing Prestia, which will happen in the next few seasons.

To make the 8, obviously we need to win this week, then I think it's season on the line against Brissy at the Gabba.

We only have 10 games left.

Or walk through with a blindfold on

 

[rfctigerarmy]

We have a draw.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

We have a draw.

Which gets rid of our need for percentage but we will need 13 wins and currently have 5

Brushed off the cobwebs in the resises last week he'll be better for it. It's a simple equation, MRJ replaces Mansell and provides that forward half pressure that he is renowned for.
