Game Day Round 12 vs. Western Bulldogs, Marvel, 7:40pm Friday 31/05

[The Royal Sampler]

Thought he has a torn bicep.....

But looking at it now with fresh eyes; he doesn’t and is completely fine.

I'm pretty upbeat about Friday night and feel we still have a good chance.

yes, yes and yes

Players to worry about

Bont. Pendles will put him to sleep again

Bailey Dale - Jordan Clark bog last week. Someone needs to put clamps on Dale

Jamara - out of form but dangerous on day

Sam Darcy. Just so big and talented

Much else ?

Think we should be favs still

The games where everyone writes us off we do well in somehow

 

[NMBB]

He’s been great in the middle since the shift but there’s no way you’d class him as an A grader yet.

What more could Richards have done since his debut? - leaving aside any ranking for the moment

Ads is still one to worry about too. IMO he's been the Dogs best mid this season, his lowest possession count so far this season has been 27

As a dogs supporter (I come in peace), while pies have way more injuries, dogs have their best players injured.

Richards has been our best player the past month, Naughton, Libba and Weightman too.

It’d be like if pies had Daicos, Moore, Pendlebury etc out. Degoey is probably the only one of your outs that you could say is in the top 5 on your list, whereas dogs have 4/5.

In saying that, Pies number of injuries probably evens it out and it’s going to be a battle of the wounded. I hope it’s a good game regardless of both team’s outs.

Mihocek and De Goey are every bit as important to us as Naughton and Libba are to you.

We also have no McStay so our best 2 tall forwards options are out. You have 1 missing.

You say Weightman, Elliott says hello.

Smith is out for the year. Murphy is gone for good.

Richards has been good for a while off half back and real good since his switch to the midfield.

He might be more effective as a player than Mitchell now but Mitchell was still part of our 2023 Premiership midfield and his career accolades are yet to be matched by Richards. He deserves respect.

Howe, Hoskin-Elliott and Cox have been senior regulars. Johannisen and Gardner are a couple of the more prominent role players you're missing.

The top end quality missing through your injuries is certainly comparable to ours and why both sides remain a chance but in no way are you worse off.

According to some Twitter nuffies he 'definitely' had one. It shows why you shouldn't listen to random campaigners on that site

It’s still ok to listen to the nuffies on BigFooty though, right?

What more could Richards have done since his debut? - leaving aside any ranking for the moment

I’m not sure what that had to do with what I said?

Anyway, he was in and out of the side until the last couple of years so probably could have done a lot more if he was an A grader.

I’m not saying he didn’t go very well in the middle lately and that he may become an A grader.

I like your new refreshed eyes

Are you all talking about the same Richards?

My refreshed eyes are telling me he’s talking about Joe and you’re talking about Ed.

A nasty case of Richards failure if ever I’ve seen one.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

This is the exact game the Daicos boys go nuts and drag us over the line.
Nick for 36 and 3.
Josh with 31 and 2.

Treloar will get a sneaky 35 touches and 3 goals

 

[Jen2310]

Treloar will get a sneaky 35 touches and 3 goals

And win BOG against us as he generally has done

 

[gouki88]

And win BOG against us as he generally has done

He wasn't very damaging against us last season

 

[danielnajdek]

3 goals from shanks?

 

[Jen2310]

He wasn't very damaging against us last season

maybe not last, but before then. Reckon two years in a row I think he won the medal that gets awarded when we play them

 

[rand corp]

No longer a question of who we do we pick, it's who can we pick!!!!!?

 

[NMBB]

..mmm I hope it’s a good game regardless of both team’s outs.

Well done there - had me wondering but I think you're spot on - glad to see apostrophes are alive and respected over your way

 

[NMBB]

I'm on about Joe

Oops - might have got the Richards mixed up - premature postation

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I'm on about Joe

I think others were referring to Ed Richards from Doggies who is out with concussion.

 

[Harry O]

Treloar will get a sneaky 35 touches and 3 goals

And 15 clangers

Really? Surely it ought to be either “both teams’ outs” or “each team’s outs”.
