NAB Challenge 1 - Richmond v Melbourne

Featured Replies

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

Yes, it involves a significant level of fantasy.

 

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


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?

You are not alone

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'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!

im pretty excited as well , just itchin to see how the new players , coaches go about it

Watts missed 4 trainings last week. Can't see how he plays this week. I'd be looking to him next week.

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!

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

That's what I am thinking.


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

Howe Dunn Blease

King Pederson kennedy-harris

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!!!!!!!!!!

 

ok who will kick the first super goal for us ? im going vince

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
