A pair of thongs?

Yep we will, and with a short break we play bummers at Etihad.  Every chance we will have lost 3 in a row after that.  This club, this team never take their chances, and as such will forever be media fodder.  OUT MelkSHAM, he has done nothing.

Melbourne out, Casey in

If I sold them I could probably pay for Clarkson to come coach Melbourne.

I agree, but sadly I don't think the FD will be brave enough to drop Lewis, but it would send the right sort of message Goodwin wants the players to bring in terms of non-negotiables.

Well they can just invent an injury for him - calf will do!

Might be a bit early but I will have a go:

Ins: Hunt, Weideman and J Smith

Out: Bugg, Harmes and Wagner (Lewis and Melksham on thin ice).

 

Jack Viney on one leg would be than half of those that played today!

[rolling fog 1,207]

Jesus H Christ, based on what I saw today I can't see any changes making a meaningful impact against the Tiges

not a silly comment in the sense that perhaps we need to acknowledge that they are a superior side at this stage and play a defensive style.

If we go head to head with the current game plan it is a low percentage strategy.

As to the ins and outs I tend to agree with Dee Spencer but as many have said you could make a case for the majority of today's 22 to be dropped.

Tyson has to come in, as he is one of our ball winners.

our game plan needs speed in the backline so Hunts in

it also needs speed on the wing so Stretch in

our pressure in the forwards is lacking so Hannan comes in

we need a second ruck so Peders is needed

We are really missing Tmac

Hannan Hogan Fritsh

Petrac Peders ANB

Stretch Jones Vince

Hunt Lever Salem

Jetta Omac Hibberd

Gawn Oliver Tyson

Kent Brayshaw Lewis Wagner (though I would give serious consideration to Bugg tagging Dusty)

[640MD 3,383]

In. Pedo, perhaps Hunt, or Tyson

out.  Not sure

Did not see enough, but we need fresh legs.  

Leave weideman to learn his craft

and pick players for the conditions expected

Go Dees !!

wow ... now that could be worth paying money to see... I suspect we would not see Bugg for the next 6 weeks or so afterwards due to suspension

Hunt to replace Lever as a running back.

Yep about right time to send a Giant WAKE UP MESSAGE! Pedo instead of Maynard

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Plenty of players in the gun after that one.

Two players should come in - one being Tyson, the other being (hopefully) Weideman to play as the second tall and to give Max a proper chop out in the ruck.

Who goes out?  Take your pick of Harmes, Wagner, Bugg, Fritsch and probably Melksham.  I can't see Goody making huge changes, but it also wouldn't surprise to see 3 or 4 changes.  I'd expect Hunt, Stretch and Hannan to possibly get a look in as well.

[Gorgoroth 12,972]

TBH, it doesn’t matter, I cannot see us getting within 60pts at games end.

[deeko 952]

In: Tyson, Hunt, Hannan 

Out: Harmes, Lewis, Bugg

 

Harmes is hard but plays like a headless chook. Continually smashes into team mates trying to win the ball and negatively impacts us. Tyson is a clear upgrade with his clean hands in close and a lot better footballer.

Bugg is similar and continually hurts with a poor conversion. Hannan adds as much with pressure but is more accurate. I think the spell in the twos might be good for Hannan so he knows the 100% commitment he has to give for the 4 quarters.

Lewis was awful again. Slow, unskilled and provided minimal rebound and no defensive efforts. Hunt to come in and will stay in. We will need his pace and his energy. Lewis needs to earn his super payments. No one deserves a free ride 

 

 

 

[rolling fog 1,207]

The prospect of Hunt amongst the Tiger mosquito fleet is already giving me the heebie jeebies 

[Dockett 32 1,239]

Outs Harmes ( How on earth did he get Norm Smiths number? Absolutely no tricks, slow and embarrassing)  Melksham ( another trier without pace and skill set) Lewis ( looked liked he was helping for his old club) Bugg,  midfield absolutely B grade. Oliver excluded.

Richmond’s small forwards will be far too quick and dangerous for us.

 

Prediction: 100 point slaughter of dees.

[Vineytime 847]

Jetta needs to lift, down on form all year IMO, we need more impact from him.

Perhaps?

Yes he’s had a quiet start, [censored], I would have played him today, he would have kept up with O’Meara at least. He’s a certainty next week.

Edit: Wasn’t aware F a r k is a bad word.
