Preview Official: 2nd Elimination Final: Richmond vs North Melbourne, Sunday 13 September 3:20pm

[TiggerMan22]

No doubt, their back 6 (bar Rance) is the biggest hole in their lineup. Our forwards should have a field day with the right supply.

"The Tigers had the least goals scored against them of any team in the competition, with 220, while the Hawks were second in this category on 221."

I F@#*ing hate Richmond , I hate everything about them , I hate what they stand for . I hate the night sky , it's black and reminds me of Richmond , I hate the sun , it's yellow and reminds me of Richmond . They have 40k solid die hard supporters the others are just like the masses at the races during the spring carnival , my sister in law in first year Tigers member and only started going to games this year , I refuse to say her name I just say "that flog" .
We could beat up on this club year on year out for ten years and they would be silent , then they final get a win and the morons would start selling t-shirts to celebrate .
I hate KB and his SEN dribble , they should make him coach and sake him again so he can piss off for another decade .
The tripe football club think they are great because of their size not their deeds on the football field . I would rather get a STD than have his pile of poo football club beat us on Sunday . I implore our football club to bury these twerps on Sunday and shove it up their cake holes . GO ROOS

Indeed...

So who do we think won't make the 22?

 

[Benno_900]

Turner

 

[muttley45]

Conca and Morris, yes please

 

[giantroo]

So who do we think won't make the 22?

I reckon the outs will be out of Hansen, Mullett, McDonald, Gibson, Bastinac.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Morris the Great White Potato and faux hard man makes the squad

 

[Wild Bill]

I reckon out of Hansen, Mullett, McDonald, Gibson, Bastinac.

I think LT will play.

 

[Wild Bill]

Thomas, Hanson, Gibson and Bastinac.

 

[Gosha]

Morris the Great White Potato and faux hard man makes the squad

Lol don't get your hopes up. The only change we're likely to make is Conca for Lloyd and I'd be surprised if that happened given Conca's fitness.

 

[giantroo]

I think LT will play.

Yep LT and Nahas will play.

 

[kool kangas]

Gibson (Brad Scott's love-child) , Hansen, Thomas and Nahas will play , Bastinac , Mullett and McDonald will be omitted.

 

[muttley45]

Good to see Garner named on the field, and not the extended bench, deserves his spot

 

[Heaps of fun]

Bench has to be Hansen, Thomas, Gibson and Bastinac.

Good luck trying to contain that again. We are the only team to kick 16 goals against you guys.

R6 North Melbourne 16.13 (109)

 

[Harris 10]

Thomas, Hanson, Gibson and Bastinac.

This would be my guess with Basti sub.

 

[White Krakouer]

Gees it would be nice to have Wells & Turner instead of Gibson & Nahas

Carey 'all the pressure is on the Roos...if they lose this its a massive fade out.'

In my opinion, both sides are under equal amounts of pressure. Its an EF and in the case of the Tigers they haven't won a final since 2001.

 

[Dirty_11]

Gibbo won't be dropped after playing every game. Bastinac should be the sub, has performed the role better than anyone all year. LT should play, demands a quality opponent, is finals experienced and a match winner. He absolutely must bring his A grade pressure game though. Mullet no. Last spot between Nahas, Hansen and LMac. All offer something different. Not to sure on this one. Does Hansen' marking out weigh his inability to cover his quicker opponents one in one? Will Nahas' poor foot skills be highlighted on the big stage? Can LMac turn his flat season around and bring the side his best game for the year? I think MC will go with Hansen but LMac may offer us more balance.

To be fair, he did tip us. Wasn't expecting that.

 

[royalblue92]

Cunnington to Martin, swallow to cotchin (both with less than desirable footskills) - who does Jacobs take?

 

[naturally north]

In my opinion, both sides are under equal amounts of pressure. Its an EF and in the case of the Tigers they haven't won a final since 2001.

Yeah and half our squad was 23 back in 2001

A bit of pressure on us , should we finish eighth I believe there will be fallout.
