Not a fan of this "season starts rd 2". Very defeatist attitude... we are more then capable of beating any team if we play good football consistently for 4 quarters.

A nice easy win against the Roos or something would be a nice change for round 1.
We certainly have been unlucky having to face the Tigers for round 1 during the best period they have ever had in their clubs history.
Starting the season playing catch up on a loss just isn't that great for moral.

Richmond have lost games in the last few years. Not sure why we cant be a team to beat them. Obviously its gonna be difficult, but thought we were passed the point in our development where we think we have 0 chance against a top teamRichmond have been wiping the floor against much better teams for 4 years, and are consistently healthy heading into new seasons.
It will take all 22 players having career best games and Barker pulling off one of the all-time great stoppage coaching performances to win.

After watching the St Kilda game several times and the Essendon game from my vantage point in Beijing, I feel we have a long way to go before we develop into a good side. Our kicking skills are a mess, our tackling is sub par, sides score far too easily against us and we just bomb the ball into the forward line hoping for the best. Just like last year. A prime example is Ed Curnow. We love the guy but why is he delivering the ball into the forward line? Grunt running, tagging and inside is his go. Why would that not be organised? Of course it is very early so we shall see.
This is because opposing teams let him have the ball on the outside and because they let him have it there we give him the ball.
It’s very simple with Ed Curnow he’s a hard worker and a trier but teams have worked out if you let him have the ball it’s better than someone who’s more skilful having it.
hence he continues to deliver the ball inside 50
Exactly. We’ve copped it all this time and from here on in (maybe after this year) its our turn to shine. Keep the season opener against the ferals.They won't like facing us first up next 5 yrs
Dow looks set to take that next step and become an elite player to lead our midfield. Great news too given we've been far too relient on Cripps, Walsh, Curnow and Murphy to handle the workloadDow is primed for a big one. I’d love to see O’Brien in for Williams too. Obrien deserves it over Fogarty who was rubbish v saints.
Injuries are part of the game, we will never have a full strength 22.We'd be a good show with a full list to choose from.
But, with TDK (first-choice ruckman), Williams (A grade recruit and top 3 midfielder) and Curnow (#1 forward) all unavailable, it makes things even more difficult for an inexperienced team.
Couple that with injury concerns over McKay (#2 forward), McGovern and Casboult (#3rd and #4th tall forwards), we are in serious trouble.
Teague will go for the fastest set up he can muster for this game - Williams is a big out unfortunately but there are other options to stack the midfield with the run required to stay with them for 4 quarters. The difficulty is in matching them for kicking skill between the arcs. We have to win a lot of ball to counter that.

is how I see the lineup all being available.
The asterix blokes really need to lift a lot from pre-season form to give us a red hot chance to knck 'em off.
It was pleasing to see Fish given some midfield time in the last game OR he took the initiative and found the ball.- sam for SPS he looked great between the arcs. Cuningham - now or never, this has to be your year.
We start quick kick the first two tigers respond even it up then we go goal for goal.Not a fan of this "season starts rd 2". Very defeatist attitude... we are more then capable of beating any team if we play good football consistently for 4 quarters.

We get a break in the last and bury them in the last 15 minutes.
Tigers get spiteful and dirty giving away stupid frees we keep our cool and capitalise
We then go to there board and revel in there outrage at the umpiring
Err...let's let him string a couple of fair to middling games together first...Dow looks set to take that next step and become an elite player to lead our midfield.
The trick is to kick to mark. **** Richmond pressure. That’s all it is. They can’t hit targets. They scrub it forward. We need 1-2 spares at all times. Chick a defensive wing (Williamson) and use doc as a spare. That sorts defence. But going forward it needs to be run and handball. No kicking inside 50. Keep using the handball and kick from the run.Teague will go for the fastest set up he can muster for this game - Williams is a big out unfortunately but there are other options to stack the midfield with the run required to stay with them for 4 quarters.

We have to answer there goals if we are close in the last fitness can be a factordid that once kicked the opening five goals ... didn’t end well if I recall.

Yep...and let's not rush back any of our injured players for a game we probably won't win. End of the day its 1 round out of 23 against the best team in the league.
Have Williams and the injured forwards prime for round 2 and beat Collingwood.
the old saying ofDon’t agree with the pessimism here. We can win this
I understand why we are heavy underdogs, but I have a bit of confidence
The bold part totally contradicts itself.
Liek I said assuming he is fit - latest I read somwhere on her ewas that he was ok...I reckon the onkly real out will be Williams and Levi/McGovern and Newnes will be fit to go.will Newman be ready??
