Caddy now ruled out says Hardwick

He’s become a really handy player for the Tigers, I had my doubts he was going to make it. 

[SFebes 4,694]

Assuming:

In: Tyson, Hunt, Weideman. 

Out: Bugg, Frost, Lewis.

Think this improves us on last weeks team.

Hogan to swing between CHF and CHB?

Agree with that, thought he was going down the road of a B grade plodder in and out of VFL but credit to him. Outs for Tigers are handy for us

CHB?

No.

Reiwoldt is Richmond’s only tall forward. Frost was dropped because of this and form. Hopefully doesn’t ever come back in.

Hogan needs to play his roaming game and all Weed needs to do is make a genuine contest at every opportunity. If he doesn’t mark it, bring it to ground.

Wagner played yesterday so he is guaranteed to be out!

That was Wagner's brother Corey playing yesterday, not the senior Wagner.

swing/roam same same. Has been spending a bit of time across half back anyway in recent weeks. Just on marking, we dont have many good marks in the side either.

Still think Harmes or Melksham gets the chop.

Vlaustin and Caddy in doubt. Though I suspect the latter will play.

Frost dumped for this week (and possibly forever IMO)

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-04-23/big-demon-defender-out-of-tigers-clash

Tigers only have 1 big up forward. Frost didn’t have an opponent. He will play against sides with the right match up

Bit difficult to tell from the radio commentary however he seemed like he saw a bit of the pill!

Vlaustin now ruled out, unsure about Caddy?

Edit: Caddy now ruled out says Hardwick

Big outs for RICHMOND. Vlaustin is critical down back. He had 17 kicks and 10 marks against hawks.

Call me a pessimist but we will not beat them, even with those outs.

I even forgot about Tyson!  He is more of a certainty if he is over his illness than the others...

Reports from training stated he trained fully on the weekend. Plus, No Tyson No Melbourne.

We are 0-2 without and 2-0 with this year.

Would have struggled to get a game anyway in my opinion.

Unless something dramatic happens I can't see him on the list next year.

I think he will only play now if injuries mean we are desperate for a tall option.

MCC sold out and now predicting 87K.  reckon we should tick over 90K given the weather

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Bloody hell where are these flippin' teams.

Dumb question, but does anyone know if MFC members (I'm an 11 game member) need to buy tickets for this game or just rock up?

I find Ticketek very confusing.

EDIT: It is recommended that members reserve a seat I have since found out.

We shouldn’t be relying on Hogan in the midfield, there’s plenty of kids in the side. We need him to kick 70-80 and he could if Goodwin left him alone.

Harmes as a ruck is beyond stupid by the coach

Just hope you say the same thing about Hardwick and Shaun Grigg! They did win a flag with it mind you Febel!

Have a look at this Clint.

Seems that  you can get general admission with your MFC membership but it could be pot luck getting a seat. There is always standing room in the Southern Stand.

cheers

They are missing two role players.

We are missing Viney and T Mac.

The Tigers are lucky.

About time someone mentioned Laurie

he was a tough player, the kind we need right now

The Blair Campbell Ramble!

[forever demons 1,880]

blair invented the kick around the corner from the pocket

[Grand New Flag 3,226]

My guess it:

In: Stretch, Weids, Tyson, Hunt

Out: Lewis, Bugg, Frost, one of: Harmes/Melksham

We can’t continue to carry both Harmes and Melksham, I agree with your ins/outs. 

Disappointed in Harmes so far after reading good reports on him during the off-season. He came back in great shape having shed some kilo’s.

I'm hoping Harmes is out if thats the case, Melksham has one more week
