Was so keen for this game until I read the sydney Bigfooty board to suss and they’re saying there’s no chance they lose this and we should be scared of them :( Not going now

This. Brown isn’t marking anything atm, yet we don’t have Kozz or spargo at his feet. We have fritsch and melks who yes do an okay job at it but leave it for them, keep them at browns feet

Sparrow or Jordan out for smith then they become medi sub. I know its not like for like but we can afford to bring out one of them smith although tall still has pace so it’s not like you’re losing too much of it for a tall.

Smith is having a great game so far, he’s second efforts and forward pressure is something I wish for weids to have. If he continues to have a great game then he needs to come in next week. We need something different up forward

I was saying to my family last night at the game that you can honestly tell melks and hunt haven’t got a medal. They are playing with everything they have. Urgency and hunger. Everything all the other players had last year. We need more of that to help lift the others. I must say when milkshake came in I’m thinking Jesus this sums up our year but I’m happy to admit he is proving me wrong. Add chandler into our forward line and he will bring exactly that same hunger with forward pressure kozzy and spargo gave us last year. hopefully fires them up for a big last home and away game!! come on you demons!!

I can see them for sale

Did anyone watch the Casey game? How did Joel smith go? Last time we played Collingwood cox killed us when the ball got booted inside 50. He doesn’t set the world on fire but I feel we need some talls inside 50 and he doesn’t mind crashing a pack to bring the ball to ground and it’s better that happen in our forward line than our backline. Handy inclusion or nah?

I must say melks brings a bit of arrogance and toughness into our game. He is happy to get stuck into oppo players and our boys seem to be doing it more since he’s been back in the team.

The signing of Gus gave me some type of confidence and some energy that we can do it again this year. Hopefully they got that too. Maybe it was just me looking for anything to hold onto for this season but let’s see! Haha

Anyone heading to the sporting globe Richmond to watch the game??

6 years is a long time but for real how good is it that players want to stay with us? Few years ago they’d seek elsewhere. We’re a club they want to call home for life. On ya gusssssy

I’ve been a Weid knocker but I hope he absolutely smashes it today. Only a few games till finals. This is his chance to keep his spot.

I think we need another tall up forward against the dogs. Weid, M brown or JVR take your pick. I’d go melks out for one of the talls Tomlinson out for a small. Bowey back or a debut from Laurie

I have feeling Jackson and Gus are gone. Gus id be surprised about if he did end up leaving. He was here for some crappy times and now the club is better, he’d want leave (if he does)

They keep going through the middle and we are just non existent there. Most of their goals so far have been them coming through the middle. Trac and Oliver keeping us in this atm

Are we playing who can hold the ball the longest? get rid of it on the first option. May might as well have not played at this point.

Franklin only has a year or so left They have McDonald, McClean and Armartey as their next key forwards… surely we can get one!

He’s the nephew of my work colleague and from what I’ve been told Geelong are very interested in him. Seems to be doing pretty well from what I’ve heard

For me this week it’s out: Turner Hibberd Gawn M.Brown in: May rivers weids JVR hunt(sub) Lever May Rivers Bowey Petty Salem Langdon Viney Jordan Spargo Weids Pickett Petracca Brown Fritsch Foll: Jackson Oliver Brayshaw int: Sparrow JVR Harmes ANB Hunt (sub)

I’m craving a different side this week. I don’t mean in’s and out but mainly a different look. I’d love Trac more up forward and Gus in the middle. Something different, he’ll be hungry in there. Rotate him and Trac or Trac and Viney. Change it up through out the game. Doesn’t always have to be the same. We literally kick out towards the left side of the ground from a kick in. Mix it up. We are becoming if not have become so damn predictable. We’ve lost our run from the backline. Our goals last year where mainly from the run and carry from the backline. This year we mark it on our defensive 50 and stop… the Oppo have time to man up then we lose that privilege of being in control and it now becomes a 50/50 contest Richmond of late will chip around their defensive half then boom they’re off.

I must say I’ve really been impressed with Moniz

I’m probably being dramatic and probably still have trauma from previous years of going for the dees but if we don’t show any case of hunger or looked absolutely pumped for this big clash then I feel like we may not get it back this year. after the last few weeks of losing, the may and melks and then the scandal’ if it can’t drive the players to go ‘stuff this, let’s show the comp we are the best l team’ then I don’t know what will bring it back. but anyway go dees! Haha

I know he probably isn’t ready but I’m just keen to see van rooyen on the big stage! also would love maybe hibberd/rivers in and Brayshaw play in the mid, Viney forward and maybe rotate We need our big forwards to bring the ball down and actually have small forwards at their feet. It’s obvious we aren’t marking anything in the forward line due to our delivery inside 50 so we need our smalls there! We need our pressure game back and Gawn/Jackson outside the 50 waiting for the pressure kick out. Our pressure is really letting us down as we give our oppositions backline to much time to switch sides so they avoid our Ruck waiting for the kick out.

Did they really think winning a grand final would change so much? we missed out on so many generations of kids picking the dees… we need a lot more success over the next few years and decades to get us more fans. we have an older age supporter base and if They’re like My nan who’s in her early 80s it’s just to cold.

I don’t understand why we are under the pump? We are averaging like the 4th most home attendance? That’s after getting Gws on a long weekend and playing st kilda at 1pm on Mother’s Day
