Preview Round 10: Richmond vs Essendon, Dreamtime at the G, Saturday 21/05/2022 @ 7:30 PM

[pazza]

Surely the coaches circle Dustin martin this week and have someone on him at all times when he leaves centre bounce. I’d give Jake Kelly the role.

Matt Guelfi. Kelly and Laverde aren't suited to midfield and robs our defence.

 

[naraku]

Official site says Jones is fit and Caldwell could come up.

Jones straight in or another VFL game ?

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Dusty could go full LeCras here if they play him forward for the whole game.

 

[JT_the_Man]

It’s say Jones’ minutes won’t be restricted…

What do we have to lose?

 

[JayJ20]

it will go one of two ways, no in between.
1) the boys will pull their fingers out and play like men possessed with a big win after getting smashed in the media all week
2) tigers will pounce and absolutely murder us

...unfortunately my moneys on number 2

The answer lies somewhere in between.

Meaning we come out like crazy in the first quarter before giving up 20 minutes into the game and getting smashed after quarter time.
Just look at the Brisbane game for reference.

More worried about Bolton, but yeah who can stop the onslaught?

We just need to play like we did in last quarter against Hawks. Not that hard to see tackling pressure goes hand in hand with a win.

It is not that hard, just need some players to do it more than one quarter every 5 weeks.

Ch7 saying Ridley in doubt with hamstring soreness...shit!

VFL I reckon. We're not making finals so no point in rushing him back. VFL until the bye and then bring him, Stringer, Langers and Snelling back for the Blues.

 

[andleanback]

So smith is listed out with soreness but he’s actually out with illness. The whole messaging around him since he got dropped has been very poor.

 

[eth-dog]

****ing bullshit. He's suspended.

 

[Beerfish]

Dusty could go full LeCras here if they play him forward for the whole game.

That is a ****ing scary thought and entirely possible. Massive percentage boost.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

******* bullshit. He's suspended.

So this bothers you? Why?

I think it's great they allow him to participate.

 

[andleanback]

Matt Guelfi. Kelly and Laverde aren't suited to midfield and robs our defence.

When he drifts into the forward line and the midfielders forget about him. You can’t have guelfi on him in the back 50.

 

[Beerfish]

******* bullshit. He's suspended.

I don't think he's playing

 

[Mercurial89]

So this bothers you? Why?

I think it's great they allow him to participate.

I'm actually a little surprised he needed an exemption I didn't know they couldn't enter the arena just thought they couldn't take part in the game.

 

[eth-dog]

So this bothers you? Why?

I think it's great they allow him to participate.

Yeah, I thought it meant he could play, my bad.

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah, I thought it meant he could play, my bad.

It's a shit headline. On purpose of course

 

[citizen-erased]

Id accept pickett plays and misses next week.
Round is more important than the semantics.

He’s not playing he’s just doing pre-game ceremony stuff. You don’t get to pick when you’re suspended.

Disagree. He did an action worthy of suspension, no matter what week it occured in.

 

[citizen-erased]

Ch7 saying Ridley in doubt with hamstring soreness...shit!

If he misses, francis goes back and bring jones in.
Id do this anyway.

Fair enough but i wouldn't begrudge it.

Ridiculous.
