Won`t be surprise if he is a late omission Saturday

Paddy McCartin out `managed`

Yeah GCS i expect will drop out. The other team who have a very tough draw is Adelaide. They are in ripping form now but I'm not sold they can keep it up all year. If they stumble maybe we can take the Suns place in the 8. We will need a few big scalps this year though and simply cannot lose to bottom 4 teams like last year!

We will have to wait for another team to drop out, it wont be GWS, they are a lock.

We have the 6th best ranked attack in the comp, with multiple goalscorers. the times they are a changing!

6 Gawn 5 Viney 4 Tyson 3 Vince 2 Mcdonald 1 Garlett

No doubt Richmond are due to click at some stage. I think the betting odds skewed their way thru the week on the back of 2 big inclusions but I think this will be detrimental to them, particularly in the last quarter when they run out of steam, if not earlier. If we bring the intensity and pressure of the last 2 games we will win comfortably. I think we will bring it, the Essendon loss may well be the best thing that could have happened to us, and we wont see a performance like that again for many years.

You'd like to think so....but never assume!

Had a concussion test at 3/4 time. Looked dazed in the huddle!

Cant see too many changes other than Vince straight in, Garlett in if fit. Cant see them dropping Wagner or Hunt after their performances. Might be a good chance to rest Oliver, not that he played poorly, but purely to manage the battering he is and will continue to get through the season. Sadly it may be one of Frost or Pedo that makes way, though neither deserve it.....nobody deserves to be dropped actually, one of the better team efforts in many years.

I was there but only noticed Harmes on the ground after the stoppage. Lots of boos coming from the MCC though so its got cheap shot all over it. Pendles got Bugg at the same stoppage with a late hit from behind and i noticed Jonesey having heated words with Pendles, wonder if he got Harmes as well?.

Just watched after getting home from The G! Its a good life!

We saw a sign of things to come today and the fact that we have a ton of improvement ahead of us bodes very well. The composure shown by the backline today was superb, Pies looked like getting back into the game several times thru the game but we never looked panicked. Team effort today but particularly impressed by both Wagner and Hunt who look like they belong in the big league.

Yeah saw it, Dank said he was at every training session from Nov to Feb just before the story blew open. Dank said he was dealing with Neil Craig who was asking Dank about increasing testosterone. Craig denies any wrongdoing. Dank is certainly very vocal this week!

And Port were woeful last week, absolutely awful. Its making me feel sick how easy this is for them.

Pointing he finger?.....i was replying to your comment that they were better than Tyson yesterday. They weren't.

Agree he is out of form but he was nowhere near our worst yesterday, you are kidding yourself if you think Hogan, Watts n Brayshaw were better.

No, but it may well be time for another bong PF

The delivery into the forwardline has been an issue for far too long. Not only are the F50 entries mostly poorly executed, they are more often that not directed at Hogan who is double or triple teamed. We need far more spread, giving Hogan a little more room which gives us more options a little wider. Cant believe im saying it but we would have scored more goals yesterday using Hogan as a decoy.

I get where you are coming from Ascobar but these threads come up after every disastrous loss and we have had more of them than I have had hot dinners. Fair dinkum I would have thought us Dees fans would have the thickest skins of all supporters in the AFL such is the trauma we have put ourselves thru in the past decade. Yes it was yet another totally unacceptable performance yesterday and hopefully a massive wake up call for some of the players who seem to have thought we won a GF last weekend. Harden up and stick by the club. we are just as likely to have one of the clubs greatest ever victories this year as we are another putrid display like yesterdays.

I'm starting to feel that all us poor old MFC fans are all extras in Groundhog Day.

London Tavern in Richmond always has plenty of Dees fans pre match, top pub!

Yeah good point, feel sorry for him but he is now a depth player and will likely only get a game due to an injury of our best 22. Sign of the times, we are becoming a decent football team and poor disposal has been his undoing.

Surely we will not have an intraclub the day before our season opener?

Bernie may well be Benjamin Button, but he aint a 21 year old. Parties like one, absolutely!
