Tigers by 35 points.

Which is about on the money. Sportsbet are offering -33.5 on the Richmond $2.10 line.

Just do not think we have the forward line to kick a winning score

So what if it does OD, will you be disappointed?

Strange question Saty.

Of course not.

Changes since last year are three better midfielders, Garland not playing and probably the worse forward line we have fielded since 2012.

We have not beaten Richmond for some time and they played finals last year.

We all want and hope we will win tonight but do really think we will?

A slight change on D26 by naming Lyden as an interchange player for this particular match. He is one of the few who can go forward or back wherever there is a need.

B: Alexis Georgiou James Frawley Mitch Clisby

HB: Jack Grimes Tom McDonald Dean Terlich

C: Jack Watts Nathan Jones Bernie Vince

HF: Jimmy Toumpas Cameron Pedersen Sam Blease

F: Max King Jeremy Howe Jay Kennedy-Harris

R: Jake Spencer Dom Tyson Jack Trengove

I: Daniel Cross Viv Michie Lynden Dunn James Strauss

S: Michael Evans Matt Jones

there ya go, close to what I reckon I'd do as well.

Definately like Georgio's aggression in the pocket, to have a look at him. I want to start Dunn, maybe as defensive half forward pushing up to help the midfield. I like clisby's run from the back.

F/B: Georgiou Frawley Terlich

H/B: Grimes McDonald Blease

C/L: Watts nJones Tyson

H/F: Trengove Dunn Evans

F/F: Howe Pedersen King

Foll: Spencer Vince Cross

Int: from: Clisby, mJones, jK-H, Michie, McKenzie, Strauss, Toumpas

Subs/Emer from: Bail, Barry, Byrnes, Nicholson

I hate being a supporter of this club sometimes. I'm emptying my dacks in anticipation of a NAB CUP GAME.

I'd get sick to my stomach & head by Monday, losing all the time.

I had to let that go for my own well being.

I am not so pessimistic - hope springs eternal.

Remember, OD, reality and pragmatism are your enemies. Blind faith and a sheer pig headed ignorance to face the facts on the ground, that's the way to go!

I tell you what, I can't bloody wait to see my footy team play tonight after what feels like a really long off-season.

Really looking forward to seeing our new look midfield. Obviously it will take time for them to gel and we won't be able to find out the full extent of how they're tracking until they have our forward line to kick it to.

Would be great to see the Hogan, Clark and Dawes in action up forward and obviously without them we'll struggle to kick a winning score just like Hawthorn would struggle to win without Roughead, Gunston and Hale.

It's not about winning tonight though. I just want to see every one of our boys give it their all and look like they want to be out there.

Go Dees!

Wouldn't mind seeing Dunn play forward to give us an extra target,

If we can be competitive in the disposal count, inside 50's, and clearances, I'll be wrapt. We were woeful in those areas last year and there is no reason we can't be at least competitive with most of our best mid's playing.

We will not only win OD - we will do it easily. I've had the word from on high that we've got this. Trust in the big fella upstairs. He might be surrounded by Saints but he's a Demon at heart. Told me he's held them back all these years to reward the truly faithful like me when we enter into a ten year period of glorious domination. Do yourself a favour and get on board. You'd better be wearing the colours when you turn up at the pearly gates my friend.

Everyone should go in with low expectations of the scoreboard. It will mitigate any disappointment.

My eyes will be on the mids and the way they go about it.

are you up there crawf ? is there plenty of hotties and free booze ?

Forward line looks to lack a little grunt, but its just a practice game. .

Always interesting to see who will announce themselves .

Competition for a game increased over last year, younger players like Toumpas , Jones, Clisby etc have a year and further pre season under their belt, plus Tyson, Cross, Minchie and Vince are now added to the mix.

Chuck in some total unknowns in Georgio, King and JKH, sit back and wait for the ride.

Looking forward to seeing a bit of our future game style and who puts their hand up.

Think we might uncover a couple. Not going to commit suicide if we lose. I watched Brisbane last night.

Not long to wait now. Scial club bar opens soon so I can have a couple of frothies before the game.

I have a good feeling that no nay sayer and harbinger of doom on this site can diminish. I have recorded the game on IQ in anticipation of watching a stellar win when I get home.

Carn the Dees!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see him play where he fits in the new game plan!

The forward line is weak but defensively we look good.

Dunn is a chance for a couple of super goals.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
