Preview Changes & Pre-Match Discussion for Round 11, 2023 vs Richmond @ MCG

[Sir Watchalot]

Interesting they don't rate Teakle enough to take a fwd/ruck spot. But somehow they trusted him to be the No.1 ruck before.

Nothing to make of that. Lord has the running there now. Contested marks up forward more valuable than taps to advantage.

 

[Boxx]

You'd say if Jackson was playing they would have done his full debut videos n shizz by now

He’s Emergency

 

[Coobk001]

We got away with it once, can’t see that forward line winning Away from home.

Yeah I agree with this. The selections swing the game in the Tigers favour I think but not much we can do about it. We can still win, but it will be very tough. We lucked out a bit last week and the Tigers are far, far better than their ladder position suggests. This week would need to comprehensively prove it wasnt luck and that our entire game style has improved substantially to duplicate the type of performance.

Im expecting that it is just Rioli for Jonas. Maybe there'll be a sub change there as well. Based on the absence of talls I'd suspect Jones might be sub given his ability to play a little taller down back.

I understand resting Marshall, but it's a huge impact having Dixon and him out, especially while Georgiades is also out. That's 3 out of our best 4 KP Forwards that would have been selected.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

This is absolutely ****ing awesome. Best selections ever.

Unleash the wolverine!

 

[Blinky Nyland]

I'm expecting Rioli replaces Evans. Jones replaces Jonas. Mead to play as sub again unless Boak pulls out.

Someone posted before, don’t know how true it is that Carr is not that interested in tap ruckman just wants the ball brought to ground.
Interesting theory and could be quite plausible if you have an elite midfield/on ball brigade.

 

[Port2Power]

Going small this weekend because of conditions on Sunday. Its going to be cold and wet. Sensible choice looking after Marshal's long term health whilst making sure Dixon is fully over his injuries. On a positive we get Rioli back who was playing well before his suspension.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

Jones has been very good the last few weeks

Well good on Jones for making a case. 4 ins plus Meade being up in the air make it hard to discuss past that.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Those saying we don't have talls need to remember our Lord will be there and His presence shalt be felt in the forward line.

 

[philthy05]

richmonds back line isnt exactly NBA height either. Dylan Grimes is only 193

And Noah balta is 194, and broad 192. They’ve also named 198cm Ben Miller and 196cm young on the extended bench.

And have named on the extended interchange 206cm Ryan (who will likely be part of a 2 ruck combo)

 

[JimmyBC]

Not that fussed Finlayson is a better footballer than Dixon.

 

[Port2Power]

Amen!

No Magpies game last week. He hasn’t had a chance to prove form.

 

[philthy05]

Jonas goes out and we pick a small to replace him…. Again.


Anyone who thinks getting a key defender in the mid year draft will mean Hinkley picks him over Jonas, or even picks him at all is dreaming.


We will win this game, cause we’ve got far too much talent in the middle not too…

But we’re always going to be less than what we can be.

I reckon they've put a line through Clurey.

Ben Miller shushes the crowd after kicking a goal to put Richmond ahead by 3 goals:

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

I'll be surprised if Boak plays

 

[Sir Watchalot]

I'll be surprised if Boak plays

Boak was named as a definite out on AFL Tonight.

EDIT: Next day and it looks like that was a mistake by AFL Tonight. They might have some intel but until Port says Boak is out he's in.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

I reckon they've put a line through Clurey.

Clurey's contracted for 2 more years after this year. Maybe he's asked for a trade and gets no games as a result. But unless there's real bad blood for some reason footy teams don't work like that.

 

[Poo Eckert]

Rioli and Jones in. Jones and Jonas about the same aren’t they? Evans out. Jackson sub for Mead

Burton goes back
Rioli in for Burtons spot up forward

Aint that hard m8

 

[Jonts]

Its his record breaking game i think he'll get up for it

 

[Sir Watchalot]

.... Jones and Jonas about the same aren’t they? ...

Not sure we're selecting by alphabetical order. But if we are Burgoyne replaces Boak.

 

[JimmyBC]

You say that like contracts mean anything fOoTy TeAmS dOnT WoRk LiKe ThAt.

There's been multiple opportunities to bring him in & they haven't, I'm not overly concerned he's average but it's obvious he's on the outer.

Multiple teams this season we’ve had a key defender or 2 go out, and we’ve chosen to replace them with a not exactly in scintillating form baby flanker in Burgoyne.

It’s obvious they’ve ruled a line through clurey

. Jones and Jonas about the same aren’t they?

In no way.

Jonas is an undersized key defender at 188/189cm

Jones is not, and never will be a key defender at 186cms.

Burton goes back

Burton should already be in the backlines, if he’s not, then we’re already down a medium defender much less a key defender.

Also, he’s not a key defender. When we tried to play burton as a key defender (the week after he was arguably best on ground) he got smashed and was one of our worst players.
