Game Day AFL Round 19 - Matchday Discussion Richmond@Collingwood (MCG – 7:50PM)

[SnakePlisskin]

Si

I assume Crisp will play permanent midfield instead, with De Goey getting a bit more time in there as well.

I agree with this weather that Wills would be the more logical answer.

size wise that would be a huge midfield!! With Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Treloar as the outside run!!

 

[saha]

Why would we play Wills. He is s**t.

But honestly... our hopes... dwindling now. Was confident AF an hour ago.

Probably because he is a big body and like for like selection given we are now down two hard bodied players. He lacks significant polish but would throw his weight around in wet conditions. Coaching staff are petrified of the Richmond transition

 

[Thatsmyname]

The club letting Adams push too hard for a 3 week early return comes back to bite them incredibly hard.

Massive massive error

A double massive no less, doesn't matter Kap, this year is gone with or without him, we're actually in worse shape than last year with availability

 

[offtherails9]

****. I've been thinking you boys will bounce back all week but Tay out really hurts.

Part of me still thinks you'll get it done. I know it's been a tough month but this is a pretty mentally strong group with a strong coach.

 

[DWil6]

So s**t that it is come to this, but I'll back our skeleton crew to do some damage against this mob.
And we thought that WCE game was backs against the wall... boy oh boy, strap yourselves in.
Tonight's team has no expectations, and that may be the only chance we've got.

Eagles were not good that game, no matter how brave our win was. That was a weak effort and not one we could expect often. The tigers are itching for revenge and will not dare put up a WC effort tonight.

The other thing here is that Mayne is still under a cloud. Perhaps there will be 2 changes, with Crocker in for Mayne and Wills for Adams.

Sure 15 out or 16 out, doesn't really matter after the first dozen

 

[Adz]

So we lost Sier and Adams in the space of a day. Unbelievable.

 

[caloschwaby]

Treloar... can we please redeem our one-time coupon for an elite game?

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Collingwood by 4-5 goals.

Wills is out there in VFL.

He's not really under a cloud beyond the fact he was a test on Wednesday. No other emergency has been pulled. It's Cleary demonstrating he gets paid by the word by writing about Mayne.

Another tick for the medical staff.

 

[frizzle]

Another tick for the medical staff.

Come on now.we are awesome at injury prevention & management. <\sarcasm>

 

[sirlothie]

Another tick for the medical staff.

Every injury we get goes bad and much worse than expected.

 

[Thatsmyname]

Another tick for the medical staff.

Yep, probably the cause of some of the injuries too

Don't mind that at all, very good work by you.

 

[CFC2010]

Can we stop sooking about injuries.........we sound like Richmond supporters.

If we’re good enough we win.......simple.

Crisp in the centre...........I would even give Thomas more minutes there.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Thank God the Crock is not playing in the wet tonight.. the bloke couldnt even clunk a remote control even if you looped it at him re. F kreas

 

[Pacman Carney]

I think it's time to part ways with Bucks. He is the right man for the job, but he is cursed, and we just need to rid ourselves of it.

I agree on the cursed bit. Been saying it for years, his playing career was cursed.
Unfortunately so is his coaching career.
I wish he could be a premiership coach, I really do, sometimes things don’t happen.
It’s a shame. I hope I’m wrong but if no flag in 2019 or 2020 then it’s time to depart.

 

[danielnajdek]

Hope the mods are ready for the Richmond trolls/flogs in the post match thread. They are gonna be unbearable after beating a team with half their team out injured.

 

[Captivating]

We're gonna get butt r*ped tonight.....

Impotent forward line + crap midfield is a recipe for a huge loss.

 

[Thefly38]

I’d bring in Appleby before Crocker

Your midfield is great, you'll still make a good fist of tonight. Twin towers are kinda stifled by the weather too hey so...
