Does anyone know if tickets are still available for the Mandurah game? Will be a struggle to get there in time.

I bought one yesterday

It's probably better to see a list of exclusions. But I'm too tired to figure it out.

 

[Kenny_01]

I'm assuming Langdon isn't named as he was in rehab all of last week?

11 Jake Batchelor
12 David Astbury
17 Daniel Rioli
21 Jacob Townsend

Is Crozier injured or just omitted? The rest of the omissions seem either rookies or injuries.

You'd certainly hope so given almost our entire B22 will be playing. Be great to see some of your newbies (future superstars) playing though!

 

[Ragtooth]

I must refrain from taking anything seriously in NAB cup but it’s a half decent team,

Looking Forward to Collings, Weller, Blakely and Grey…Interested to see the output of Tucker (interesting Tucker ahead of Langdon)
I’m expecting Muz, Clancee, De Boer and Suban to push hard….as the names above are biting at the heels
I’m disappointed that Yarran, Uebergang and Langdon aren’t given a game (Although understand that yarran needs to work his fitness)

 

[Eski3]

29 players... is that the final squad that will be playing? That seems like a lot even for the NAB cup.

It's the nature of pre season...we have one game where we travel (well, travel far), so it's the one all the experienced guys get off....

Some of the match ups will be 'interesting'...
For example, Ivan Soldo, 19yo Cat-B rookie ruckman, only been playing the game for a year up against Sandi...Should be an experience for him.

2 Anthony Morabito (rehab)
4 Harley Bennell (rehab)
15 Ethan Hughes
17 Hayden Crozier
22 Tanner Smith
24 Harley Balic (rehab)
25 Alex Pearce (rehab)
26 Ed Langdon (recent rehab)
30 Zachary Clarke
35 Michael Apeness (rehab)
37 Michael Johnson (rehab)
39 Josh Deluca
41 Shane Yarran (recent rehab)
42 Matthew Uebergang
43 Ryan Nyhuis
45 Sean Hurley (rehab)

The only real surprise omissions there would be Crozier, Hughes and Clarke.

 

[Carnthedockers]

Is Hughes injured? Surprised he didnt get a run..

 

[george2]

Is Hughes injured? Surprised he didnt get a run..

Lyon said that Langdon had a nasty virus over the last week or two and had lost 4 kgs, he otherwise would have been playing. The omission of Crozier is an interesting one.

 

[serial_thrilla]

29 players... is that the final squad that will be playing? That seems like a lot even for the NAB cup.

NAB Cup games have an 8 man bench. So 26 players on game day + 3 emergencies.

 

[theGav56]

The only real surprise omissions there would be Crozier, Hughes and Clarke.

They have to roll some players through, so it is inevitable some will miss this game. All three of those guys need to push hard though.

 

[Lach72]

As the next game is in Mount Barker I'd expect wholesale changes with Pav, Munday, Sandi, D Pearce etc putting the feet up

 

[WWSD]

Great to see Sam Collins named in the Fremantle side. This kid can play. He will surprise some people this season.

 

[mike91]

Hughes, Crozier and Clarke will get a chance in the next game you'd think, Langdon too. Nothing to worry about people, hopefully it ticks Crozier off and makes him perform though.

 

[purpleman]

I'm surprised by the strength of our squad, i was going anyway and looking forward to seeing some of our youngsters running around, but this is better and my young fella will be wrapped to see all his fav's out there!

 

[DrMike]

Got tickets, clocking off work at 2:30 and driving down with one of this boards posters.
Traffic shouldn't be that bad but drive safe everyone.

We know it's kick and giggle but the Richmond board has set up a banter thread for NAB. While it's listed as banter it's also just a chance to say hello and chat to opposition supporters in a friendly environment, like you would at a pub. All are welcome and hopefully people participate with good spirit:

Enjoy the game Friday and fingers crossed both teams get what they need out of the game without any injuries.

Can't see why we would crush you. Wouldn't learn anything from that. The focus will be on structures and positions of players. Nothing serious about the actual game and Lyon is likely to do silly things just to test something or someone. Just as likely Lyon will give you a massive lead then set up a chase.

Silly things Lyon might do with Richmond line up:
1) fyfe and tab play back
2) Dawson forward
3) myne play soft tag
4) pav playing wing
5) suban play fyfe mid role and collect 30 possession.
