Potential hip flexor or quad injury for Dusty...

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Having watched all of Richmond's games (watched the West Coast replay), I reckon they are one of the worst 4-0 teams of all time. They make stupid errors and lack the midfield depth. They haven't played a decent team yet. Collingwood, Carlton, West Coast (at the 'G, who should have put them away) and now Brisbane - they haven't beaten anyone of note. And those first two wins were really scratchy. 

If we bring forward half pressure and minimise our turnovers as we did in the first two weeks, we should murder them.

Doesn't that mean we haven't beaten anyone of note too?

[Adam The God 30,239]

Yeah, bugger. It'd be nice to even up the injuries a bit.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

Sad to see Bucks looking down in the mouth after the game today. (LOL of course)

Jeez Daisy looks the goods as a commentator/interviewer.

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

The tigers have had a very good draw so far. I think we will beat them pretty comfortably

LOL surely takin the peeezz!

[whatwhat say what 22,747]

tigers are 4-0 cos they're playing good footy, not because of who they've beaten.

their mosquito fleet will trouble us, and prestia / caddy has been a massive improvement over deledio. they're going okay.

Yeah, that's fair. Although, St Kilda at Etihad are a tougher proposition than West Coast at the G. West Coast also did a Melbourne v Geelong and wasted so many opportunities.

They've both butchered this year, particularly Prestia, who is a lot better than he's shown at Richmond.

We get our forward pressure right against them and we'll beat them. They've got some worse users than us at the back there.

Agreed. Shades of Norf last year going 9-0.

Very North, but even North weren't making the same mistakes off half back and entering forward 50 that the Tigers have. Next Monday night will be very interesting.

Don't kid yourself about Richmond beating nobody they are playing a different brand of free flowing footy to 2016. Martin has been freed up with Prestia and Caddy coming in. Cotchin is an A grader and playing a great leadership roll. If we are not on next week they will hurt us big time on the fast break from turnovers. 

The boys face a very big acid test next week. The kids and older players all need to lift their efforts for 4 quarters and not switch off at any stage

Yep Richmond at the MCG will be a tough night. 

Forget past games. We will need to play our best football next week

[What 18,810]

Hitouts 

Stef Martin 52

Nankervis 17 

We should have the advantage in the ruck vs Tigers.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Drop a quarter to the Tiges like we did to Freo and they'll tear us a new one. 

Richmond have added experience and quality to their midfield this year. 

We need to be manic at the ball and shut down Dusty and Cotch.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,391]

I don't share the love for Richmond, they are one loss away from the sideways, backwards football they are known for. They are very beatable.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,823]

Hanging out and hoping for a rare moment of footy joy from this weekend, that Geelong will smash the Dorks and keep them firmly planted on the bottom of the ladder.

Geelongs Brian Cook on SEN match preview today and said theres 10 things Geelong do that keep them winning. They apparently hold the highest AFL/VFL winning the most games in 300 matches or something. I wonder what those 10 things are? He wouldnt elaborate.

I'd say the number 1 thing is pray the most dynamic midfielder in the country is born 15 minutes from your home ground and wants to go home in a deal that costs you nothing.

Without him their last 30 games would have had 15 more losses in it - and they'd not be talking up their 300 game record.

Keeping a Home Fortress has saved their Ass...

Geelong have done well, but they have also been very lucky

Tyrone Vickery is out....Dawks a chance now...

[What 18,810]

     Out

• Brendan Whitecross (Omitted)
• Ty Vickery (Omitted), 
• Teia Miles (Omitted)
• Jaeger O'Meara (Knock to the Knee)

Since when does a club list the cause of an injury rather than the injury itself?  Hawks are in damage control over their pitiful O Meara trade
