Bench will be Garlett ( who wil start on ground) Pederson, Kennedy AND PETRACCA

 

By my count that will be 19 on the ground and 3 on the bench. We'll certainly get the jump on them! :ph34r:

Fence, are you thinking Vince won't play or do you think that they will 'rest' someone else?

Or is the statement that both Jeffy and CP will play made by AlternaFence?

Sheeit run that by me again?!! Nope I reckon Jeffy will pass fitness test. Petracca will play and another might go out!

M. Jones: "Injured" in the OP, "Soreness" in the email from the club. Difference?

Why raise the potentiality of Petracca playing just JUST to tease?? Nope if you are gunna name him from, then logic suggests that he is right to go! If he Is right to go given Casey Form and him being beyond VFL standard and if he is ready PLAY HIM!

We get it.  You think Petracca should be in.

I reckon if CP5 was going to play they would have announced like they did with Hunt -  showing him being told by Roos. Not counting on it. I also think Garlett must be in doubt.

I think he will play and that by doing it this way its actually a very well considered ploy to bring him in without the pomp and ceremony we've seen in the past.

By naming Garlett and saying Petracca will only play if Garlett doesn't get through training will place far less expectation on him than announcing on the Tuesday that he will play and then wheeling him through half a dozen press conferences and photo opportunities in the week leading up.  

Compare how Watts' debut was built up in comparison to Petracca (should he play), it's chalk and cheese and I think a good plan.

I'm probably completely wrong but I've got a feeling that the selectors doubt Garlett will come up.

Also, having Oliver out means it limits the number of very young players in the team on limited minutes.

The fact that they haven't done the "moment you get told you're making your AFL debut" pics/video has me thinking that he won't be played. Which is annoying because I really want to see him and I'm able to go this weekend. But maybe they'll wait for tomorrow before doing that.

I'm a little surprised they've chosen to rest Oliver so soon but they know how he's tracking better than us.

Really pumped for this game, any game v the Tigers gets me pumped. But this is such a massive opportunity to build momentum, they aren't nuff nuffs like the Bombers which was why the players went in with the wrong attitude, and this is a great chance to have 3 good games in a row.

Was it Thursday or Friday last week that the club uploaded the video of Hunt ringing his mum??

No such video of Petracca yet.

His mum didn't answer.

Deledio coming back with no match fitness. It was a disaster when they did that last year (he injured himself again). 

Rather amusing to see them desperately repeating old mistakes. Ah, Richmond.

No one wants to see anyone injured but if he (Lids) gets injured again due to being underdone and the Tigers lose I would sack Hardwick on the spot. It's season over so no point in keeping him on. Surely they had a finals clause in his extension, if not the board should be moved on to.

The Richmond supporters over at PRE have totally thrown in the towel.  Gods, if we Essendon this...

This is it, I've read numerous times over the past two weeks from various posters that "the Essendon game was the turning point" but I can't help think we've had those games before.

Ah Uncle Bitters!! Nice of you to join the discussion! I trust that the term 'Imbecile" is your term of endearment to myself?

And Nasher, I agree, we dont want to Caveat Emptor, Essendope this one! 

I don't want to think of the meltdown that Demonland would suffer under that  er "Unlikely" Event!

    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.
