Richmond Vs Melbourne, NAB Challenge 3, Etihad Stadium 7.10pm 14/2/14

[syl]

So who's getting along this evening?

Melbourne are fielding a young side even by their standards, most key talls missing. Hogan, Dawes, Clark, Gawn, Jamar.

The real interest for the Dee's is the midfield, can the new additions of Cross, Tyson, Vince and co. have an immediate impact?

I will be watching clearance differentials and I50's closely.

Tigers by 40 for the prediction.

 

[Suma Magic]

Hopefully they have cleaned up last night's bloodbath. I'm looking forward to this one, hopefully the dees can show something.

 

[Kram]

Richmond by 20 goals.

 

[RuFiO]

Richmond by over 9000.

Something tells me it won't be the same as last night! Well, I frickin hope so!!!

 

[Headless]

Richmond by over 9000.

9000 hundred of goals, I assume? 54000 points?

That's my prediction, anyway.

I dunno. It's the preseason.
So I''m sure they have some new snazzy way of measuring the margins.
Super goals are a thing of the past. Except to Dwayne.

Melbourne by 30

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

What kind of lineup are Richmond going in with?

 

[Couttsy]

Richmond by 80.

Melbourne have all there good forwards / talls out.
Will be interesting to see how their newly adjusted midfield goes though.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

So who's getting along this evening?

I'm gonna have enough trouble watching Cross run out in a different guernsey on the TV, let alone at the ground.

[aussierulesrules]

Richmond by an awful lot considering what Melbourne's forward line is likely to look like.

 

[Handsuper47]

It's gonna be a draw!

 

[Sprout]

We have basically no forward line to speak of, which comes in handy when you want to score. Eyes will be on the midfield.

 

[joop]

Spewing melbournes forward line is out, otherwise this would be a umm, err a real cracking game......
Tigers by 188

 

[telsor]

What kind of lineup are Richmond going in with?

Missing 5 definate and 2 probable best 22 players. Reiwoldt, Maric, Jackson, Conca & King (+ Knights & Grimes).

So a decent NAB squad, but a fair way off full strength.

How many of Melbourne's best 22 are missing?

 

[Righteo]

Go Viv!

 

[aussierulesrules]

Somehow I don't think I'll be watching this over the MJ show!

 

[theflea]

Funny if we lost!!!!

 

[chrstphrwnstn]

UNLEASH THE BEAN!

 

[Sprout]

How many of Melbourne's best 22 are missing?

Best 22 missing from the squad are Clark, Garland, Dawes, Viney, Hogan, Jamar, Kent and possibly Gawn. Garland is a big loss to the backline and we have all our quality talls out, but midfield should line up well.
