We've got a problem with Billings. If Spargo was fit, that would be the change to make. Otherwise, is it Hunter? Jack needs to go either way. He completely disappears in big games. It's not Laurie. The sub role isn't easy, but others that have come before him in that role - Jordon, Smith, Woewodin - all managed to show way more than Laurie has. I'd be tempted to play Hunter for Billings, with Bowey as the sub. If Bowey is needed to cover injury (other than in defence), Rivers or Woewodin can move up the ground. Hell I'm sure Bowey can play up the ground if needed too.

Surely he finally gets the Rising Star nomination this week.

Gonna change something with the sub. Laurie just doesn't have it, he's not an impact player. 1 touch and no tackles with fresh legs is not what we need with the game on the line.

I apologise for the doom and gloom in the match thread, I just can't help it. Everything about this game pointed to another heartbreaking, self inflicted loss. Thank god it wasn't. Petty the MVP.

Stupid kick Windsor

Drop kozzie

Dead set, went from a golden opportunity to put a nail in the coffin, instead we concede a confidence destroying goal. Can't believe this team sometimes.

That is terrible umpiring

YES Maysie

That quarter will come back to haunt us. Should be up by 5 goals. It's not just the set shots, it's the wastefulness anywhere in the forward half. Scott is a better coach than Goodwin, wouldn't be surprised to get jumped by Geelong in the third and we won't have enough firepower to respond.

Plenty of good pubs on Swan Street. If you get there early (5-5.30) you could possibly get a walk in, but they can get busy and crowded which sometimes isn't the most comfortable for eating. Corner Hotel is a classic but probably the busiest of them all. The Posty does good pizzas, but small so it gets crowded. Richmond Social isn't as nice as those two, but has the most room for a comfy bite to eat inside - you should be able to book a table now. London Tavern is another that gets busy but it's great. If you can be bothered to leave a bit earlier, try a pub a few stops away. Prahran Hotel and College Lawn are both minutes walk from Prahran station, which is two stops from Richmond.

I don't love Hunter, but I would be OK to see him in the team. We're too heavy on inexperienced players at the moment. His disposal sucks sometimes, but he is tough and reliably racks up 20 touches. He is what we need the next few weeks.

No No No Poor on field, poor off field.

First game I saw May play was Round 2 2019. We lost by 80 points to Geelong, in Geelong, in the pouring rain. May did his groin and wasn't seen again until Round 12. Fair to say he has come a long way since then. Still not perfect off field, but damn he is a good footballer. If he had been drafted to a club other than Gold Coast, and had the right attitude from a young age, his career might be spoken about amongst the likes of Rance and Scarlett.

Born in WA so you would imagine only a lowball offer would get him to leave. West Coast would be stupid not to give him a great offer, they need good senior players and leadership while they develop. Yeo has been outstanding this year, a good role model for Reid.

We are gonna get smacked the next two weeks.

Laurie is my least favourite players on our list, but if he was ever going to find his feet and confidence, it should be against this young and depleted Richmond side. My bigger concern is that Billings will have a good game, hiding the fact that he goes missing against tough experienced teams and keeping his spot for Geelong.

There's already a racecourse, train station, high school and university right there. If you're a local and you didn't already have complaints, I don't see why this would suddenly create complaints.

Excited at the possibility of McAdam playing. Listed last week as 1-2 weeks. With this being a Wednesday game, you would think we hold off. Next VFL after that is May 5th so another 11 days for him to get ready. Couple of weeks later and he could get up for the trip to Perth...
