[GreyCrow]

Any injuries from Richmond? Or just heavy legs etc?

Rioli hurt his hand/wrist, still played it out.
Dustin isn't 100%.. probably bout 75% but his 75% is better than most anyway.. can't chase that much though.

 

[BunjiMac]

Wouldn't mind seeing Greenwood this week.

I get the feeling he is the type to rise to the occasion.

 

[Bicks]

Is this you Graeme?

There are some people who played on with broken legs. There were times when Jim Stynes was told in no uncertain terms he couldn't/shouldn't play. He played against Adelaide and dominated a week after breaking his hand.

There are those who can have a split nail and walk off the field. But sometimes a player needs to make a choice. This week the best move is Jenkins in and Otten back. The only thing stopping that is Jenkins saying no

So are you're suggesting JJ plays without a full medical clearance by our medical team because that seems to be the hold up from his interview on the radio?
This is 2017 not 1967.....and all that duty of care stuff....

If a player wants to play they can fool or bluff the medical team.

 

[rezagun]

We will kill richmond.
Our home ground is a fortress.
We are the highest scoring team in the league.
Walker is in rare form.
Richmond are overrated.
Jack reiwoldt is a flog.

Got banned on richmonds thread because I said see how they go against a top 4 side this week! bunch of pussies

FFS normally I would not suggest playing the delicate snow flake at anything less than 100% but it's time to grow a pair and suck it up for the team.

With Talia out we need Otten back, and therefore JJ forward

In: JJ Beech
Out: Talia & Menz

Why do we need Otten back? Other than Riewoldt, the Tigers hardly have another big forward we need to worry about too much. Surely Hartigan and Lever cover whoever they throw down there...

Yeah, and that has a history of not ending well in a lot of cases.

 

[GreyCrow]

Yeah, and that has a history of not ending well in a lot of cases.

I will concede this

 

[SydCrow]

I wouldn't play Jenkins. One punch in the ribs and he's gone.

 

[dplggr47]

They said a couple weeks back that JJ had rib cartilage damage, which is worse than broken ribs. Doubt he'd be back for a few more weeks.

In: Kelly
Out: Talia

 

[spexau]

If we get Kelly back we will be fine with 2 KPD. Love to see Greenwood get a crack if Knight is out.

Hartigan on Riewoldt and Lever on resting forward ruckman. It's their medium-small forwards that we need to worry about.

 

[Squiba]

Jenkins isnt one to olay through pain. Distracts him too much

You would get banned on just about every club board for posting that.

Please smash those front running, hyped up arseholes next week.

Won't be a problem.

 

[juss]

In all fairness, Adelaide are a significantly better side than us, and at AO, with a longer break, it will really tell on the scoreboard. 60 point loss coming up for us.

Would you prefer 10 goals or 15?

 

[RandB]

Well, I don't want to be too greedy, but 15.

 

[mattymac]

Jenkins didn't fill me with confidence with his comments today. Don't play him. The slightest knock to the ribs and he won't give anything. He's a player that needs to be 100% ticketyboo

 

[mattymac]

15 it is.

 

[SydCrow]

Don't think we need Jenkins. Especially if Otten can stay forward.

 

[Scorpus]

I was at the Richmond match and they're just not good enough to trouble us. They were woeful under pressure and their game plan relies on structuring up man on man down the ground. They are extremely susceptible to outside play and any time Melbourne looked good on the outside, they ran away. Richmond rely strongly on kicking directly out of stoppages whereas Melbourne were adept at getting the ball on the outside. We are an outside team and Richmond will really struggle with that
