GAMEDAY - Round 9

[Brayshaw Self 847]

Win clearances, stop their rebound (overcompensate for Gawn), stop Riewoldt = Win

[Robot Devil 1,895]

All respect to Tom Hafey. I'm hoping to see him appropriately honoured today both before the game and with an exciting contest.

Just hoping we can do what the Lions did to us after Jimmy's passing and put it all aside to clinch the win.

[Young Dee 1,303]

JKH is the sub.

Thats a bit of a surprise - hopefully he gets more than a quarter - maybe if Salem is spent at halftime JKH can come on. This puts even more pressure on Dawes.

Why?

[Ethan Tremblay 28,630]

Came over from the west for my first game as a member in 6 years after signing up 2 weeks ago. I thought there were a lot of bogans in Perth however these "Toiges" supporters could almost take the cake.

Pumped for the game. Very surprised JKH is the sub, was he sub when we beat them during he NAB cup?

Richmond have the cockiest supporters in the afl, can't stand them really hope we win today !

Just got to the G and it's my birthday. My brother organised with the club for Jesse hogan to sign a birthday card for me. The club said they were happy to help out any members. It's a pretty good club we've got here.

[Pates 9,541]

JKH being the sub surely must be about long term management, I'd imagine the plan if all things go well would be to sub Salem out.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,574]

JKH is the sub.

I'm overseas so can't watch the game, all updates are much appreciated.

For what it's worth, I live overseas and watch every game through the AFL website's streaming service. About $100 for a season pass but they probably have cheaper short-term subscriptions too. Could be worth looking into.

Surprised to see JKH as the sub although very pleased to see Salem get a start. Love the optimism people on here have towards this "Pigdog" character, but let's not forget he was delisted by another club not long ago. Wouldn't be expecting miracles but if he can play a role like a Terlich or Matt Jones then I'll be happy.

We have a lot riding on this one, and I've got the biggest dose of PMT (Pre-Match Tension) that I've had in years. I'm comfortable with JKH being Sub. It's good player management, and Salem will play a similar role IMO. When JKH comes on for however long, he could have a major impact.

Maybe you could draft up a contract extension for him to sign as well? Two birds, one stone.

And after so many years of knowing we won't win this is such a foreign feeling... I don't know what to do with it...

I'm only here until tomorrow, plus I have work to do so will probably only get in a sneaky look or two at Demonland.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

My god Richmonds pre game announcers blow.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

Jetta out with gastro. Toumpas in.

[Pates 9,541]

Toumpas in for Jetta late change.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Jetta out with gastro. Toumpas in.

I don't mind that change.

Gotta feel for Jetta though - would be pretty frustrated

Edited May 17, 2014 by Young Dee

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Can we make Toumpas the sub and put JKH on the ground now?

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

I don't mind that change.

I hope that Toumpas can play well enough to earn a spot for next week.

Is it too late to change the sub? I think I'd prefer to see JKH play the full game and Toumpas as sub.

[CityDee 738]

Have a 4 month old strapped and sleeping on my chest so its an arm chair ride today . . Coopers pale open , hoping to see the dees turn up in a big way. Hopefully its electric at the G .Smash em demons !!!!

True but Toumpas may replace Jetta as a defender

[Robbie57 1,996]

Big chance for toump. Was named in back line at Casey. Needs to work on defensive pressure obviously.

You will have to keep the fist pumps and body slamming to a minimum then

Sounds good to me if we could, we need goal scorer's
