Could Hunt come into play here?

Out: Hogan + pick 33 In: 2 first round picks + Langdon

Irrelevant. There has been no indication from Cerra that he actually wants to leave

We have to be careful, because if we don't get a trade done this year he will leave next year and we could potentially get nothing

Ed Langdon will feature in this trade shall it go ahead

I would take May for Hogan. Our backline would be soooo much stronger with May and Lever in it. Weid holds his spot up forward with McDonald.

Would be a very good move to get Preuss. Get it done Dees!

We would survive without Hogan. We have shown we can.

With a weeks rest in-between... Didn't expect them to win on Saturday but didn't expect them to fly the white flag either.

No, it was our 3rd. We had to win 1 of our last 2 games which we did in R22. Then we had a break! Then finals started. No excuse.

They should have been better prepared. It was a prelim final for goodness sake. They should have know what to expect, we all did!

It's not an excuse to lose by 11 goals and break the record to have the worse first half score in a finals game! Absolutely embarrassing.

Collingwood will play for 3 quarters and Richmond will win

We really need an extra defender against the Eagles. Fritsch hasn't been playing that well down back. He takes some good marks but last weekend he turned the ball over way too much. He also gets pushed off the ball easily. I love Fritsch, but this is what I have seen the last 2 games. He could be fatigued, we don't know. If there is not a spot for him on the wing or up forward he may need to get for Smith (if he is an inclusion). I'll back the coaches

I'm not sure this is right. Correct me if I'm wrong but both Richmond and Adelaide had 2 breaks last year. Both went on to play in the GF and Richmond to win it. Adelaide finished 1st / Richmond finished 3rd Adelaide def GWS / Richmond def Geel

Nicholls and Meredith are killers...

Absolutely! It's just ridiculous.

I think Fed Square will be the best place to go! If enough people turn up the atmosphere will be great. Plenty of pubs around for pre and post drinks!

I'm not so sure. The crowd is going to play a big part. The stadium seats 60,000 people and the game is near sold out (if not already). Last night I heard 2,600 had been sold to melb members and I reckon at best we will get 5k in the crowd. Pendlebury said the noise was nothing like he has experienced and that's saying something playing for Collingwood. They have reason to be toey with us and they will be loud on Sat afternoon. If we let it distract us, it will impact the game.

Come on people, you would go nuts! We are against the odds here ... WCE are primed to beat us, if we happen to win it will be MASSIVE. More then massive infact. We would be into a f'ing GRAND FINAL! After the last 18 years how sweet this victory would be.

I hope this doesn't happen! Hunt has done NOTHING all year. To come into a Prelim final having no good games or consistency under your belt is a MASSIVE risk. He has been ordinary at best in the 2s.

Get to Fed Square!

This would be very special. Fingers crossed it happens

This really needs to be set up!

I disagree 100% with King on this. For various reasons and if we play like we did against the Hawks we will not lose by 12 goals against the Eagles.
