Not many defence can handle the twin towers

What we need is for the small fwds to make a presence and be a nuisance our opponents

Bring on W2

If Harris Andrews and Jackson Payne can't handle them however the hell will Josh Gibcus and whoever else that they play tall down back be able to do if we can win our fair share of the pill.

 

[Soapy V]

It’s a big game for… Owies!

He needs to step up in this game and really get some score and assists.

Durdin back and Motlop will be back in 2 weeks. Pressure is on Owies imo

Martin & Hollands as well. With Owies Motlop Durdin Cottrell Cuningham Fogarty Moir fighting over 3-4 spots

 

[Blue and Silver]

Durdin or Owies for sub is my guess

We could have said the same about Young/Kemp before they did a very good job on Daniher/Hipwood. Players step up and exceed expectations all the time

Its actually a bigger game for Durdin. Last year he had his best goal per game average of 1.00. He needs to elevate himself up to Owies 1.5 goals per game from last year. That's not the only criteria by which small forwards are judged but its pretty close to being the main one.

Gibcus was giving King 3 metres start to the ball in every contest and getting beaten. Not even sure who the play on Harry - maybe Short sits on Jake Kings shoulders?

 

[ESKIE]

Home crowd going bananas a 3 to 4 goal advantage we owe them a smashing

Lynch reportedly playing “limited minutes” - either you’re in or out.

I’m guessing he’s a late withdrawal.

I for one had no doubt these 2 would do the job last week. Both very underrated.

Cerra is vital. He’s a real point of difference for us and is just a fantastic player

He was one of our highlights even in the first half. Just pure class.

I. Don’t. Like. Richmond.

Boys. Please show the football world what we are capable of against a mid-range team whilst missing so many best 22 players.

Weiters, Walsh, Martin, Motlop, Marchbank, Elijah, Pitt, Doc, JSOS..

Them ...


IN: Dustin Martin, Tom Lynch, Toby Nankervis, Rhyan Mansell
OUT: Jacob Koschitzke (omitted), Sam Naismith (omitted), Samson Ryan (omitted), Sam Banks (omitted)

Hmmm - went to GC v Tiggers after the Brissie game.

GC looked just ok but Tigers were horrendous.

Martin, Lynch and Nank are all big in’s.

If our team get their game going we should win comfortably - but I’m still twitchy about this team.

They’ve disappointed me so many times it’s hard to feel confident even after being at last weeks game

 

[BIuebagger]

Durds gives us some extra pace, glad to see him get a game and return.
Their ins seem like a Hail Mary already, especially with the Lynch discussion.

Midfield winning stoppage, drive off half back with good ball use on a dry enough deck and providing Harry and Charlie good opportunities get us a W. Forward pressure to lock it in and put their defence on constant pressure will break them.

Get on top early and keep them at arms length, I feel we have them if they play like they did against the Suns.

Cant wait to get to the G

Yes it's a strange in. I find it odd that three of their best simply weren't available 5 days ago.

Limited, compromised, either misses or given desperate game time
