Game Day Round 10 v West Coast

[Equus]

Monday night football heads west and it looms as a critical match for two teams with heavy expectations on them. West Coast has not beaten a team inside the top eight, and Richmond has only beaten Carlton among those in the eight after round nine. The Tigers were bitterly disappointing against Essendon last weekend but will take some confidence from their last trip to Patersons Stadium, when they nearly beat Fremantle in round five. West Coast boasts the fourth best attack in the competition compared to the Tigers, who are ranked 10th. Yet Richmond has two players, Jack Riewoldt and Shane Edwards, ranked in top 20 forwards in the Official AFL Player Ratings, whilst West Coast have none.

West Coast Eagles:
B: Eric Mackenzie, Darren Glass, Sam Butler
HB: Shannon Hurn, Mitchell Brown, Matt Rosa
C: Andrew Gaff, Scott Selwood, Daniel Kerr
HF: Mark LeCras, Jack Darling, Chris Masten
F: Dean Cox, Josh Kennedy, Josh Hill
Foll: Nic Naitanui, Matt Priddis, Luke Shuey
Int (from): Patrick McGinnity, Mark Hutchings, Brad Sheppard, Andrew Embley, Bradd Dalziell, Adam Selwood, Jacob Brennan
In: A.Selwood, P.McGinnity, A.Embley

Richmond Tigers:
B: Steven Morris, Alex Rance, Bachar Houli
HB: Chris Newman, Troy Chaplin, Nick Vlastuin
C: Shaun Grigg, Trent Cotchin, Daniel Jackson
HF: Sam Lonergan, Shane Edwards, Jake King
F: Ty Vickery, Jack Riewoldt, Dustin Martin
Foll: Ivan Maric, Brett Deledio, Nathan Foley
Int (from): Aaron Edwards, Matt White, Matthew Arnot, Brad Helbig, Jake Batchelor, Matt Dea, David Astbury

[Greggy]

Nervous as he'll tonight, we need to run all night and smash them in the middle, keep the crowd out of it with an early lead. Bring it!

 

[The Goon]

Report from the wife at the ground: Cotch, Dusty, Flossy, Maric and Edwards all practicing goal kicking right now.

She's over there for the week for work. Good company she works for. Knows she's a tiger (grrrrrowl, nudge nudge, wink wink) and got her a ticket to the game.

Meanwhile, I'm taking care of the dog.

 

[sante]

Will be closer than people think. We like playing here, suits us. Batch on Darling is the big match up IMO.

That's not a good company, that's a great company !! Can you reveal who Goon ?? I want to work for them !

I could, but then I'd have to kill you.

 

[RichoLedio]

We absolutely have to win this, my dad is way too smug a supporter for someone who hasn't watched a game since the 06 grand final

 

[Tigerbob]

Not feeling great about this game. Cannot see how we can contain Natanui and Cox. They have better structures than we do.

In saying all that, hope we can get up. Go you Tiges.

 

[The Goon]

Dimma on foxtel.
Need 2nd third men up in the ruck.
Pressure paramount.
Forward pressure not as good as last year.

 

[Tigerbob]

Change of Forward structure he has hinted at. Will be interesting to see what that is.

cox more so than Nic nat, Nic nat can however do some great things in his 5 min shows though.Maybe give vickery the job on the second ruck and follow or lead him all over the ground and Maric takes most of the grunt work.

keen to see how we put the clamps on shuey, priddis and gaff. thee blokes on their day are every bit as strong as cotch, lids and dusty.

go tiges

 

[TJTIGER]

............ PM Me ? No one will ever know... then I get to keep my life.......Or is it part of Australia's secret squirrel forces ?

 

[Pounce]

Expecting this to be a close game. Wouldn't be surprised to see a shoot out in the first half. We need to take our chances when they came, accurate kicking in front of goal will be very important.

Go Tigers!

 

[El Tigre]

Change of Forward structure he has hinted at. Will be interesting to see what that is.

Change of forward structure is A.Edwards in. McGuane out.

 

[The Goon]

Love cotch.
Love lids.
Love dusty.

 

[The Goon]

10 minutes to go!

 

[_RT_]

I believe we can win this as I'm expecting us to put in a much better showing than what we put forward last week. The positive for us is that there is no expectation on us from the media or even our own fans heading into the game.

Now thats my generation. Gold.

 

[spudmaster]

Good luck tonight fellas. Never an easy task playing against the 19th, 20th and 21st man over at Subi coupled with the little quacking fellas. Hope you smack 'em out of the 8 and take your rightful spot inside the 8 and more importantly for shits and giggles, just above Collingwood

 

[Rubber Hips]

Have a feeling Tyrone will put in a big one tonight

 

[The Goon]

Now thats my generation. Gold.

He forgot the shhhhhhh

 

[theflea]

Come on tiges smash em up.

Someone needs to find Maclure and slap him hard. Instead of the dribble he comes out with, just state that you hate Richmond and get it over with.
