Preview Round 14, 2023: Richmond v St.Kilda - MCG, Saturday 17th June, 7:25PM AEST

[bergholt]

No change, emergencies are Connolly, Campbell, Coops and Cighmore.

Campbell emergency 13 weeks straight without getting a run - playing his role!

 

[TheNewEnsign]

Teams are out, nothing to melt about. Probably Coops or Leo the sub.

I keep saying Cooper as sub in case we 'lose a tall' but looking at the team, I think we can cover it. Absolute worst case is RoMa but then Mitchy just becomes the full-time ruck for a game because he can do anything. Doogs or King goes down and Mase goes forward or back, Byrnes ends up on the wing full-time to cover him and we just play a little shorter.

So, umm Leo the sub then?

 

[bergholt]

Doesn’t feel that way
And King doesn’t go deep into the pocket like he use to more top of the goal square

Yeah that's true, he's definitely getting better shots this year, which helps his accuracy.

AFL media are funny

Two weeks ago- Richmond dynasty is done. Cannot make finals

Today- they are back! (After beating two bottom 8 sides) ffs

 

[Plugger35]

Another boring night of Ross Lyon team changes.

Out - Cooper Sharman (sub)

And knowing Ross he will probably still be our sub come Saturday night so no real changes at all.

Can't complain though, it's not like we have anyone banging down the door to break into the team, you only have to take a look at our emergencies.

The cupboard is pretty bare at the moment.

 

[Sir Owens]

Huge game to win. I thought last week was our strongest team of the year so to go in unchanged this week is ideal.

I think the large MCG ground will suit our running game.

Saints by 18.

 

[Klaatu]

Campbell to play if Soldo comes in when Mansell get suspended tomorrow.

Big test for our midfield again- Crouch will have a go, but the Tiges midfield is at 100%, while we have Steele running around 70%...good luck I guess

 

[TheNewEnsign]

Huge game to win.

Yep. Something weird going on with Bris re: the whole Gunston / Rich dropping themselves from playing altogether thing makes them seem gettable next week.

Great opportunity to snuff out any sniff the Tigers might have of finals, beat a team next week that travels badly and then the easiest team in the comp by miles after that. Could build a very nice vein of form with a win here.

Still think it would’ve been hilarious to rest Butler after overturning his one game ban.

I wouldn't have been laughing, who would we have to replace him? Thank god his suspension got overturned and hopefully he makes the most of it.

I'm sure both him and Higgins will be keen to play well against their old club who basically threw them away for next to nothing for us to pick them up

 

[MickG88]

to keep Castagna, who ended up retiring this year.

Yeah Peris for Butler would have been a perfect conclusion to the farce the AFL has created regarding tackling.

Wonder how many more "anomolies" will arise after this round.

Fabulous mate

Coff was rehabbing along the boundary with McLennan and Allison

Fabulous mate

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

The tigers speed/spread on the counter attack definitely scares me the most. Our midfield with an "injured" Steele is in for a serious challenge and a half. Not overly confident, especially at the G' - the place will be packed for Spikey F*ckhead's 300th. Would love to ruin that one

 

[AirWinmar]

Coops stiff, thought he may come in for Hammer. Awesome effort from him playing 2 games and was good in the 1s from the limited game time and seemed like he was very good for Sandy

 

[George]

Just got my tickets. Atmosphere is going to be ****ing unreal. Cotchins 300th so you know the drongos will be out in droves. Think they'll easily crack 70k. Bigger than our 150th.

If Leo is sub he should have one job. Once we've got the game won he should sling tackle Crotchin into the next century. And whisper, Zak says hello.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Detest that coif headed wankstain.
How he’s gotten away with it for all these years sickens me.
Would pay good money to see his eyes rolling into the back of his bobble head on Saturday. Get to work, Stock

I would rather something much better, owens getting 25 and kicking 4 on him with 1 speccy.

Use our energy against his very battered body.

 

[seasonedsainter]

Is that bloke any relation to Trent Crotchitchin?

Bruvva from another muvva.

[Plugger35]

It should be Pickett Out On Bail.

Agree. We don’t play well against that free flowing style. Mussst have a big performance from that midfield.

 

[bergholt]

Coops stiff, thought he may come in for Hammer.

Pretty different roles I reckon

 

[Ads734]

Our pressure was up in the 4q last week. Continue into sat and we should be ok against high handball teams.
