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

[nelroo]

That would be public tickets available. The MCC and AFL members still need to turn up.

They will I think.
I think the other game will be a fizzer. Crows comfortably.

 

[Elite Master]

I just saw that we've named this juggernaut on the extended bench.

Don't even bother turning up, North fans.

Serious question Who is that?

Agree on this. Jacobs. Walker. Dangerfield. Betts. Sloane. Thompson.

Reckon they'll get really pumped NelRoo.

I can see Walker kicking a big bag! Dogs defence looked shaky against us.

 

[bengrina]

Thoughts on who has more to lose this Sunday ? Tigers facing another elimination finals loss or North pre lim final last year , going backwards?

 

[the_one]

The final 3 outs will be: Mullet, Nahas, and McDonald
Captain Obvious, I know.

 

[Hunters Host #3]

Confident we can get the job done this week.

 

[Luke72]

The final 3 outs will be: Mullet, Nahas, and McDonald
Captain Obvious, I know.

I don't know, I think Nahas might make the cut, he was pretty good last week. From the bench Mullet and McDonald for sure maybe Basti if Thomas doesn't get up. TBH I thought Garner would be out for Thomas, where's that late change market??

• 3 Ryan Bastinac
• 6 Lachlan Hansen
• 12 Lindsay Thomas
• 21 Luke McDonald
• 28 Robin Nahas
• 41 Aaron Mullett
• 43 Sam Gibson

 

[Shagga is all Class]

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.

Both coaches 6 years in going into the last year of their contract.

If DH loses, 0 out of 3 from finals with 70k members after blood. Younger list.

If BS loses, 2 from 5 in finals and 40k members wanting change. Older list.

 

[shinboner magic]

I think nahas is needed with his speed and link play between mid and fwd line.

Nahas lmac gibbo with basti as sub should be the bench.

We know Gibson will play, Hansen showed enough last week what he can do. Basty will be the sub, a proven sub at that. Lindsay is a match winner in his own right, and will replace Nahas in a goal kicking/ tackling pressure role. Leaves McDonald and Mullet to miss.

Former Richmond star Nathan Brown says North Melbourne should target Tyrone Vickery in Sunday's elimination final against the Tigers.

Brown said on Sports Today the big forward was crucial to Richmond's chances of getting the finals monkey off the back, but was still prone to taking his eye off the ball when ruffled.

"I think he (Vickery) is the glue up there at the moment," Brown explained on 3AW.

"Jack Riewoldt is playing great football and has really matured but Tyrone Vickery is the key to that forward line at the moment.

"If they can get under his guard… He can take his focus off.

"If I was the Kangaroos, I'd certainly be getting into Vickery."

He did but he also leaked a few goals directly from him dropping his marks. I reckon they will be targeting Lachie if he plays.

Make sure you all bring hats lower Sth Stand Bays.

If anyone needs a cap i have 6547 going back to 2010.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Glad they have been cautious with Sugar, but so disappointed for him - did everything last week he needed to do, except survive the game uninjured.

LT back if he is fit makes sense - was great last year's first two finals and is one of our genuine match-winners. I don't see Mullett as best 22 at the moment, although he may be a handy emergency, and unfortunately Luke isn't back to best 22 form either (although, like Turner, I reckon he'd be a better player in the seniors than in the VFL), so I would also got with omitting those two and swapping Nahas for LT.

His last 3 games vs NM were 0.2, 1.1, 3.1. Not expecting much from him with our experienced backline.

MCC visitor tickets are sold out. Suggests they will turn up. Reserved seating also nearly sold out... Could be the last Vic game till the GF. 23 degrees. Tipping 84k+.

 

[Winter]

My tip is Waite to have a big one.

If he does and helps us over the line, massive justification for his recruitment.

I think he's already been a success.

Played 20 games in his opening season, kicked 35 goals and ranked Top 20 in the AFL for contested marks (11th), marks inside 50 (15th), and goal assists (20th). He's also done this in a side that plays three key forwards.

I've personally been stoked with his output, but yes a big final from him would be emphatic.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Yeh those 56 tackles sure put the pressure on.
In fact in 16 games we have played since, 14 of those 16 had the opposition lay more tackles than North did that game.

No need to tackle when we have the ball.

Run along now. Enjoy the game on Sunday.

Agree. Didn't mean to imply that he hasn't been a success to this point.

I'll admit, probably pulled the trigger too early in the season and claimed he was a waste of space.

Happy to eat my words now after his second half if the season.

Its probably a reminder that it takes a bit if time to settle in after changing clubs. To be fair we do play very different style to the blues.
Since the gold coast game Waite has been very very good. Seems to have clicked for him.

May it continue now that the real stuff starts.

 

[TiggerMan22]

No need to tackle when we have the ball.

Run along now. Enjoy the game on Sunday.

You had 30 less disposals at 324.

 

[VaultWanderer]

my number one concern is, knowing Hardwick to be the dog he was as a player the only reason he is thinking of playing Conca, is to slap Goldie in the face and put him off his game, or king hit some bloke as he is running to the bench.

Most stupid post of the day idiotic to say the least

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

You had 30 less disposals at 324.

And we won by 35 points. Not sure why you are trying to justify one of Richmond's worst losses for the season on our own board.

If it settles your nerves then by all means continue.
