Salem as the sub again then playing for Casey during the MFC bye week seems to make sense to me.

Edit: Scrap that, Casey also don't play on the MFC bye week. Damn.

I would like to see Gawn and Jamar swapping between on ball and full forward to rest, so that they do not rotate off the ground too often that will force the tigers to keep a real tall down back on them and allow our running players more interchanges. Need to have some grunt crumbing to gawn, Dawes and Jamar, players who can put forward pressure on the tigers back men. that should give us a few more opportunities as crumbing a few goals. looking forward to Salem, Riley kicking goals and possibly some tiger butt.

Riley as Sub . Salem deserves a crack and hopefully stays in . Toiges have a 6-9 defender ?

I believe TERLICH won't play!!

Whoever comes in will probably Sub

With Byrnes out I would guess that Salem will take his spot as the small forward for the entire game. Gawn may start as the second tall forward and rotate with the Russian. Pretty sure the Tigers are the number one clearance team so we better get the ball forward and keep it in there. Congrats to the pig dog. I hope he stays in the team for the year. A banner in the cheer squad with PIG DOG written on it would be a good site. If we can jump the tigers early the G will empty out pretty quick as it seems the tigers players and supporters are one in throwing the towel in pretty early. I hope this is the ugliest game of all time. If this happens we can win because we can't match their run and carry.

They've lost their run & carry this year, I can't imagine us giving them the space to get it back.

It will be interesting to see if Salem gets a full game.m

I haven't seen any of pig dog in action - where does he play (other than at the bottom of a pack)?

And welcome back Max!

If Salem's on for the whole game , he should get 3 goals, on form.

welcome back Max Gawn

Hopefully he stays fit, he is easily a starting 18 players when healthy, Absolute gun and underrated around here

and congrats to PIG DOG, well deserved

We are a good thing this week, absolute morals.

We'll win the ruck and chew up the contested ball, there is no one to stop us.

Definitely match up better against the Tigers - than we do against the Bullies, and Adelaide.

Providing we have Jamar in, teams with soft midfields will find it hard to beat us.

Richmond have no contested ball winners, certainly none that will compete with Jones and Viney.

Jamar will get first use, we'll get first crack at it and Cotchin won't get his usual numbers.

We should tag Dustin Martin, because he is the only guy for the Tigers that could damage us.

that overrated clown Jack Riewoldt will be pleased to see Frawlet our

Chip smashes him every time we play them

I look at the Richmond lineup and I have no fear at all. Very ordinary looking team, so many plodders. and battlers and they have a very average coach. I am sure Roosy and the boys feel the same way.

Expecting a win.

Option 1: Pedersen goes down back

- Takes either Griffiths or Vickery and potentially means Dunn or Howe go forward

Option 2 : Pedersen plays as a full time forward

- Rotates with Dawes at CHF as either up the ground or closer to goal

Option 3: Gawn plays as a full time forward

- Slightly more controversial but Pedersen has been going really well in the ruck as a mobile back up and Gawn is dangerous as a big unit in the goal square

I think we will start with Pedersen forward and hope he can make an impact and that Dunn and Garland can play well as slightly undersized key defenders. But there is an option for changes if it doesn't work.

I think option 2 would be best Very impressed with Pedo in forward line

Posted

Can I get some odds that Ben Lennon (on Debut) gets a rising star nomination against us on Saturday ?

We seem to have the knack of giving these kids an easy introduction

I hope some demon player makes a point and gives him a difficult and poor day

Posted

I'd say Pedo plays back to avoid Dunn playing on a key target, Pedo, TMAC and Garlo can get the job done, i'd send Jetta to Sam Lloyd, he has kicked a few goals this year and looks lively

Pig Dog.

Classic.

Unleash the beast

Where's the Clis? Doesn't seem to have been picked anywhere, and not on injury list.

He left training early yesterday, seemed to have a bit of tightness in his back/hammy, had one of the physios trying to loosen it up, said he was ok, but obviously not

Posted

Methinks Matt Jones will be the sub this week, use his run towards the end, give Salem the 'full' game (probably sub him out), and have Riley bashing and crashing, at training the forward line up, put this in the training report as well was Gawn, Dawes, Pedersen, Watts, Bail and Salem

Eleven different players will run out tomorrow compared to our May 19 2013 side that played Richmond where we lost by 34 points. We are a significantly better team than last year

I have done a player comparison of the in and out from last year

Davey - Kennedy Harris - improvement. Potential gem replacing a retired star who was well past his prime

Evans - Vince - Improvement. Better quality player

Frawley - Pederson - Backward. Pedo not as good as Frawls

Magner - Cross - Improvement. Better quality player

McKenzie - Viney - Improvement. Better quality player

Nicholson - Grimes - Improvement. Better quality player

Sellar - McDonald - Improvement. Better quality player

Strauss - Riley - Improvement. Better quality player

Tapscott - Watts - Improvement. Better quality player

Toumpas - Salem - Break even. Both future gems for the club

Trengove - Tyson - Break even although maybe Tyson just

We are a much better side than this time last year. I believe the Tigers aren't as good as last year. We are a HUGE chance to win tomorrow.

And of course:

Neeld - Roos - Improvement (understatement) - the obvious speaks for itself.

Go Deeeeessssssssss

With the dry weather Pedo will be at CHF to start and depending on how our midfield go he will be a good lead up option. I like the balance of our forward line, hope to line up as

Jetta Garland McDonald

Grimes Dunn Terlich

Vince N Jones Cross

Watts Pederson Howe

JKH Dawes Gawn

Jamar Tyson Viney

M Jones, Salem, Bail

Sub Riley

If we can get the ball inside our 50m arc 55 times like last week we win this game. The Half forward line should give defenders and mids some good hit up targets out of our back half, we need a monster game from Howe and Watts.

Agree with your comparisons except for these.

1) Davey played his best game of the 2013 year against Richmond kicking 3, so JKH would have to have an excellent game to match Davey's output in the corresponding fixture.

2) Riley is unproven at AFL level so I'm not sure how you can be so adamant that he is a better player than Strauss.

3) Tyson's general output of 2014 is far greater than Trengove's general output of 2013, so I would swing this easily in Tyson's favour.

No he's not, a broken leg stopped him, he had progressed from rookie onto senior list, I reckon Adelaide were too cute in delisting him thinking it would take a year to get back so they thought they would rookie him again

To see some of the form he has been playing, have a look at the vision on Club website from last weekend, he is in 55, has a hand in a couple of the goals, watch at 00.19, 1.26, 2.26 or 3.06 or thereabouts

The interchange is interesting - who is the sub? Salem isn't going to get any fitter playing part-games, but JKH, Riley, Matt J - I don't want to see any of them in a green jacket.

I reckon pigdog will be the sub, put him on the bench in a cage and shake it for 2.5 qtrs and then unleash him in the middle.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
