Bomber have injured/suspended:

• Mckenna
• Begely
• Colyer
• Francis
• Gleeson
• Green
• and hopefully Fantasia

they dont have much depth and have one less day to recover.  so I completely agree to play fit, fresh players. 

Fritsch and Hannan to come in at least. T Mac and Lewis if available.

Kent, ANB, Vince out at least.   play Hannan on the wing if needed

if the draft runs very deep then we should be right, loading up on a couple of 2nd rounders

the thing we need most is 50 games into Brayshaw, Salem, Hunt etc etc and watch them become very good players

talking the draft at round 5?  tough season so far hey?

Howes first 7-8 games for the pies were terrible 

Having an extra day break over the bombers especially as they played two players down with reduced rotations is a significant advantage

no excuses, just get it done FFS

Just the NINE clangers from Daniher. 

What a clown

Begely (sp?) looks fine fir the day.  Bombers down a rotation. 

They should only beat us by 30 pts on Sunday now 

I’ve stuck up for Vince for a while but my god he was slow and fumbly tonight. 

ANB has to go. 

Jeff was very poor. 

No love for Jetta? I thought he showed the most intent of anyone. Went in bloody hard

gawn

[censored] it’s hard to keep supporting this club. The game was terrible to watch. 

Give it a couple of days and get back on it. 

If we lose to the cheats I’ll need a spell

Maybe we are just an average side

What was the crowd last year?

The got the Hawks with a 5 day break after they played Geelong compared to their 9 day break. They are very gettable tonight. 

Does Melbourne come switches on and do they come to play for 4 quarters.

very unlikely. 

whatever the changes are, just reverse them for the St Kilda game

ps. tried to find the Changes Vs St. Kilda thread but must not be out yet???   

Must be money going on the Dees (who would be stupid enough aside from me??)

we are into $2.50.

I am confident about winning for some reason - its freaking me out

I am was not confident last week.

Gameday

Im in town for the game tonight. Where go people drink before and after the game?

Many options in richmond, all will be jam packed. depends on your type of place you like, Ive tried them all.

The Cricketers on Punt road, nice old fanshioned joint

The London - big beer garden

Richmond club hotel on Swan if you want to pick up after the game

City-wise the Duke of Wellington on flinders is alright and i think affiliated with the Dees. 5% off your drinks if you are brave enough to show your membership

The action should be punished, not the outcome. Mitchell can control his actions, not the outcome.

If the AFL want to crack down on these kind of off-field incidents then suspending players for these would stop it dead in its tracks.

I agree the action should be punished not the outcome.  but the action needs to be sufficient to warrant punishment in the first place.

Very low force in the elbow, so no suspension

They, sorry, he (an individual not a panel) sure look after their favorites and Downlow  favorites.   

Deliberate, high, off the play ..... but there is always an excuse when they want to find one.  

you seriously think mitchell deserved a week for that?  he tickled the blokes ear with his elbow.  even Goldy has come out and said it felt like a mosquito (or something similar)

Gee the media love to talk in circles on this- first it was we don’t want the outcome of a bump to dictate the tribunal result and now they all flip when the MRO carries that out. 

Burton did not hit him high. It was a fair bump followed by an accidental head clash. Either ban the bump or no weeks for burton. 

Good call from the MRO imo

he is not a line coach - ie primarily responsible for the fwds/mids/defs so the reporter is full of BS

Is it all falling apart?

Yes. 

I’d say the time to panic is now. 

?

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

Kennedy looking old and slow. 

Parker and Hanners poor

Tyson, and an in-form Hunt will make a positive impact on the team for sure.

I'd bring the Weed in as well for Harmes or Melk or Frost or take your pick!. 

thanks for the reports.  im still so flat from Sunday, fair play for getting the motivation up to go to training!

people saying we have trained this way all summer.  so our game plan is to only have one tall fwd and for him to play half the game on the ball/wing?  and then bomb it long to no-one?

surely ANY game plan since 1850 requires having at least one tall fwd that stays fwd. and if you only play one fwd to kick short and handball more (unless on a counter attack).

we have (or had?) the most inside 50s of any team. these are obvious things to fix.
