NON-MFC: Round 02

[Demon Disciple 12,452]

Go after Ben King. Surely he’s getting tired of being at a joke of a football club.

[DubDee 26,306]

Baker 3 goals 20 touches as the sub

not bad!

[DubDee 26,306]

Hope Port keep up their horrible kicking next week

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,251]

Port looking ordinary against a depleted Richmond.

Hopefully they have an ordinary win rather than a shock loss as we don’t want them on the rebound and having a statement game against us.

Volleyed goal. don't see that too often

and the ump asks for a review even though the ball was a about a meter inside the post

Not sure about Fremantle's depth.

Yesterday was only North but they were missing Chapman, Cox, Darcy, O'Driscoll and O'Meara, plus OMac and Worner who played last week, plus a few others (e.g. Corey Wagner and Ethan Stanley).

Perhaps against a better side they wouldn't have won but they're 2-0 with quite a lot of talent to come back.

And I wholly disagree that they "need" key defenders. Their best 22 defence is top 4 quality. 

We'll have to agree to disagree, but the back six that played the Roos is, IMHO, not a top 4 defensive unit (i think I'm right in saying that Omac is the only best 22 defender missing, unless you include Corey Wagner). 

• James Aish 
• Alex Pearce
• Jordan Clark
• Ethan Hughes
• Joshua Draper
• Luke Ryan

Alex Pearce is a  pretty good player, but not AA quality. And he's their best defender. 

[BDA 23,016]

hopefully port play like this next week as well.

[Smokey 4,389]

Richmond’s forward entires are even more suss than ours 

[whatwhat say what 23,428]

sloppy game of footy, but entertaining enough

[Chook 15,023]

Watching the Tigers vs Port, the Richmond crowd were a bit much when the Tiges were on top, but I'm remembering now how much fun it was to watch nuffy-cam when they were better known as ninthmond.

[Billy 2,563]

Port look very average just before halftime 

[BDA 23,016]

tiges giving away dumb 50's 

[Demonland 73,485]

Not watching the Tigers game but saw this on the AFL website.

Anyone know the status of Marshall's injury?

Not wishing injuries on opposition players but Marshall out would be handy considering our 2 outs this week.

Chapman and Cox are defenders, Cox was in the AA squad in 2022.

They are both better than Pearce, as is Luke Ryan. At full strength they are a strong defence and one which I think most people don’t appreciate.

And hopefully Horne Francis hamstring is at least a 2 gamer.

PS: Butters should be fined for staging. Just on half time milked a 50 and goal, pretending Lynch hit him in the head after a mark. Nothing said because he is a star, but not the first time.

And in MRO news, Wright sent straight to the tribunal. Back to you Huddo.

It's going to be a long year for Ooze.

Tiges pressure rating in the negative.

How many years did he get? They will win games but agree think it’s going to be a long year for him.

Port have activated the sub. Lachie Jones with a calf complaint sustained earlier but played on.
