Looking at the numbers above it paints a pretty clear picture to me as to how we can win. As you can see above Geelong don't win the ball at stoppages, but they force you into a turnover and then cut you up on the rebound. Therefore if we can beat them at stoppages/clearances and can use the ball effectively we will give ourselves a great chance of coming away with the win. On the other hand if we allow the Cats to get first hand on the ball and get out into space they will cut us up and make us pay. No wonder Hardwick suggested that tackling will be a big focus for us this week just like it was last week.

Tip: Head says Cats heart says Tigers, therefore I'm going with my heart and tipping us to cause the upset. Tigers by 18.

I like the way your thinking RT and looking at the stats you posted, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to suggest we're in with a chance

Not best 22, but depth.

Cant believe you would choose your sister over Richmond Tell me your joking.

 

[Bruce Monteath]

Not best 22, but depth.

Don't disagree with you often Baz but do in this case. Probably on both. Much rather have these two than Petterd and White in the side.

Batch in the future maybe, but i have the feeling the game has just gone past Tucky.

If Benny G is reading this i hope he revokes your membership

 

[Put a Lids on it]

mmm pewty cats for dinner sure sounds delicious.

 

[smasha]

I expect the crowd to be smaller tonight due to darksiders throwing their toys out of the pram.

Tigers by 21 points.

 

[carn tigez]

****en sick of my mates bailing on going to Richmond v their teams. My mate isn't going because he semi injured his shoulder yesterday. It's a ****en footy match, you're not playing.

I usually go by myself in these cases but I'm a bit sick of doing this, happy to do it against interstate teams but I expect against teams my close footy following mates support we would go to the game. Bunch of soft fairweather 'supporters'.

Rant over. Probably will end up going myself but FFS.

It would appear that it's nothing too serious as all the emergencies are playing at Coburg

It's also orthodox Easter tonight so the crowd won't be big.

Are they seriously the odds?

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Not best 22, but depth.

Agree the only two missing from best 22 could be Conca (injured) and Foley returning from injury , all others just aren't in best 22.

 

[Bazzar]

Are they seriously the odds?

Sounds about right to me.

 

[Roachy8]

Big game this one.... (as if the last two weeks were not! )

Reckon we will fulfil our hype and promise and win by 38.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Sounds about right to me.

Will await who is named sub , but think we are a tad better chance than those odds suggest ?

 

[Richo is God]

Would be surprised if the crowd reaches the MCG prediction of 60k, should be more like 50k I reckon. Just can't see us beating the cats unfortunately and they'll cover us pretty comfortably. First game ill be at since round 1, so I'm pumped to be able to be back at the G again!
