Jaded No More

You can manage players without resting them. I think one of Woey, Harmes or JJ come out for Sparrow this week if he’s ok to play. I don’t think they’ll risk Oliver. I think next week is a great time to play Kosi and Rivers through the middle a bit more and give Viney a lot less time on the ball. The only thing I would consider is bringing Grundy in to give Gawn a chop out, but I don’t know who you drop for him. It is also entirely possible that Tomlinson is dropped and Smith plays down back for the full game.

Pressure for spots is incredibly important at this time of year. We just need to pray that we don’t have anymore key injuries.

We’ve just played probably 3 of the best attacking sides in the game. In fact Adelaide and Lions are one and two for scoring. Goody acknowledged that. So no, we aren’t happy to concede 90+, but we took the risk of playing more attacking and won. Against less potent attacks, we should be able to concede lower scores while continuing to kick big scores ourselves. As for coming from behind to win, Pies seem to be the best side ever seen because they keep doing it. So what does that make us? In 2021 we had this ability to never be out of games. We came back and won and it proved the difference in the end. Especially on GF day. It’s great to see us find that ability again. It comes down to fitness and believe and we seem to have regained both after last year.

I will give you a million dollars if this happens 5 unforced changes 4 weeks out from finals after we just won 4 in a row. Yeah, nah

They are crying that they lost because of the umpires 😂 You can’t make up this level of delusion.

The only thing that should change is the doctor

Nothing tastes sweeter than the salty tears of arrogant Richmond/Geelong/Pies/Carlton fans

Not according to @WalkingCivilWar it isn’t.

We are hitting form. Nobody is getting rested unless they’re injured. I expect Viney and Gawn to have far fewer TOG minutes during this game and Trac will play forward for longer, especially if Sparrow is back. Do not flirt with form. Port rested 9 players for their game against Carlton, and haven’t won a game since.

Who picks this in round 1 😂

We won’t rest but we will give Viney and Trac less time on ball once Sparrow and Clarry return to freshen them up. I don’t think that they’ll risk Clarry next week.

His last game up forward he kicked 4 in a half then went off injured.

Chandler has to stay. We are light on for defensive forwards when Kosi plays higher. Fritsch can replace Woewodin who is playing high half forward.

It was a great game. Richmond brought it. They were just running us all over the place. The best part of this win for me, other than Petty being a genuine forward, is that we ran them off their feet in the last. Music to @binman ears. We look to be hitting peak fitness at the right time.

I’m drenched. Worth it. Glorious afternoon!

IT IS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG

That is pathetic. You can’t possibly let him go on with that.

10 inside 50s for 0 points. One inside 50 for a goal. It’s so frustrating

Great another game where I’ll lose 10-15 years off my life.

My god our backline is struggling today

Tell me again why Petty can’t be a forward!!!

The sheer arrogance to leave Dusty wide open

What a way to start the quarter. You’d think top 2 wasn’t on the line

We have to get on top in the contest. The only way to beat the Richmond chaos ball, is to get your hands on the ball more and first.
