My expectations are pretty low for him tonight.
Certainly the biggest test he has come across though and a good all-round game would be fantastic.
“Road to Bruhn” on the backpage tomorrow would great and I’ll happily cop the heat for it.

I think he will go alright. That last quarter would have given him some confidence in what he can bring to the team. Being as young as he is, in a team packed full of "elder statesmen" I reckon it would be quite daunting and potentially he doubted what he could contribute in the midfield.
Nothing better than being part of a group pulling together to bring home a good win and silence any doubt he may have about his place in the team.
Will have to wait and see but the signs are there.
Thats the key to me -and i think the 1st 20-25 minutes of this game will show and tell everything
Will Richmonds talented and experienced midfield really dominate - you just cant expect Parfitt and a few others - even though they are wearing Geelong jumpers - to just step in and replace the super stars that are unavailable - i will be very pleasantly surprised if they can
Thus my fear is Rich will pile the goals on early - now $2.90 v $1.42 - and that will keep tightening to they bounce the ball
It will be good to see - which Geel players play well tonight - because you would expect Rich to be fierce early - beccause if they dont win tonight - it makes it very hard for them to get in the 8
Fear and Loathing at the MCG
Over at Tigerland feral's hate us
On the field their players fear us.
The win against WCE was relief
Loss means back to Bitchmond
A memory desperate to avoid
They know Cats are depleted
Always lift against the Cats
Good start will bring them hope
Fragile to a Cats scoring burst
Danger + Kittens did it v Crows
Big Cats played cameo roles
For Cats to win tonight:-
Premiership players must perform.
Kittens need simply break even.
Bring the intense pressure
Capitalize on their clangers.
A simple but achievable plan
Nerves building in anticipation
Parfitt has something to prove
Kittens will want to impress
Waiting to see Jhye Clark play
Happy to leave it till the last Q
Win... no Injuries ...Please

Their top 4 clearance winners (Taranto, Hopper, Bolton, Prestia) average 18.1 between them. Our top 4 playing tonight (Atkins, Ceglar, Blicavs, Holmes) average 16.5 clearances and there were chunks of the season where they were not even our primary stoppage midfielders.
Depth-wise it'll be Martin, Cotchin and Short vs Parfitt, Bruhn and Knevitt. They will get us there but the disparity between tonight's primary stoppage groups is overstated.
Parfitt might stick it to the selectors tonight I reckon.
Big game coming up for him.

Were a bit light on through injury which makes me a little nervous. But Richmond have been pretty average this year. All in all we should win, but wouldn't be shocked if we're just missing too much cavalry tonight.
Really looking forward to seeing how Holmes in particular, but also Bruhn, Knevitt and Parfitt go shouldering extra responsibility in the midfield with Danger and Guthrie out

Has he ever had 10 vote game from coaches?
All any player can hope for is a chance to prove themselves. At his age and experience ..he should be ready to own the midfield. The talent back pressure is going to really build soon... will not get many chances to show what he can do with no Danger and Guthrie to absorb midfield time.

The bloke just has to make the most of this opportunity. A 10-12 disposal night without impact just wont be good enough, given the circumstances.
I'm really wishing him the best.

How do I listen to Krock at the ground now it’s not on the afl app?
And is this Hutchy’s fault we can’t hear it on the app?
