Preview Round 16: Richmond vs St Kilda @ Etihad - Sunday 4:40pm, 19/07/2015

[TheAnt]

Thomas replaced Lloyd as an emergency. Late out possibly?

Or just Lloyd picked up a knock?

We know Dusty has been sore, fingers crossed its just a precaution, or perhaps as TheAnt said, maybe Lloyd still isn't 100%

 

[Bazzar]

Good to see Cotch show some bloke how to kick a real ball

 

[Groupie_]

I'm thinking Lennon could be very danger deep forward

 

[_DBF_]

I'm thinking Lennon could be very danger deep forward

Can he be this Danger?

 

[Reservoir tiger]

Literally just spoke to dusty an hour ago... Said he was a certain starter tomorrow... No reason he'd tell me any secrets but no reason to flat out lie either.

I'd say he plays.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Reading some of this shit it seems it's okay for Newman and Morris to barely touch the ball or impact the game and it was cool that Menadue played and didn't record a stat and Elllis is fine with under 12 touches, what isn't fine is if McDonough doesn't get it 20+. Some of you guys are really worrying.

Hopefully Cotch is not showing him how to kick for goal.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Actually, if TheLoungeLizard turns up give it to him, he can give it to his sister, who can then give it to my son or daughter who go to her school or my wife who works there, cheers mate.

What?

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

If that was the case he'd be lying on his back then. ..

 

[leekok]

Massive danger game. Can't believe Saints are paying $3.

Dimma said at 2-4 that we were playing ok and we'd start winning games shortly. We did.

He's basically now saying that we're playing rubbish and unless things change, we'll start losing shortly. I believe him.

IMHO either Jack goes bananas and kicks 5 or 6, or we get done.

I'm not concerned one bit as we should win against what is still a bottom 6 StKilda side. Don't be swayed by their big win against a very lack lustre Bombers 2 weeks ago. I can feel a dominant win coming, we're overdue for a good win and reckon this will be our best chance to date. Our habit of losing the easy ones has been broken recently.

Jack always kicks 5 or 6 against the saints and see no reason for this to change. Saints had the wood on us for about 10 years with out a single loss. Now it's our era of dominance against them having not lost since 2011. The boys have really matured this year and will not let this chance slip with tough games to come in the next fortnight. I can also see the hammerer kicking at least 10 goals as well Oh, and the saviours McDonough and Lennon are playing, so we can't lose.

 

[This Is Anfield]

What?

Doesn't your sister go to Blacky High?????

 

[Bazzar]

Only with set shots, but in heavy hot traffic Cotch will teach him a thing or two

Where?

 

[Reservoir tiger]

Where?

Epping plaza.... And no don't ask me why on earth dustin Martin was at Epping plaza...

 

[Michaels]

We have reverted back to having Lloyd as emergency. No idea WTF is going on here

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

How would it be bending the coach over after the coach has selected him after making him work his arse off to get into the team? A lot of these kids just want it handed to them.... make them hungry I reckon, make them really earn it.

McDonough was sub par during his last stint at the level and looked as though he couldn't run out of sight on a dark night. He gassed out pretty easily (it might have been against the Cats last year, or maybe not, I remember it being dry...). Now hopefully he's done a lot of hard work. His performances in the VFL look the most consistent they have ever been and he may be truly ready to have a decent crack at it. Good coaching in my opinion. I have absolutely no confidence McDonough wants it enough to actually make at this level, despite his obvious talent, same with Lennon. They need to show desire/real effort and heart this weekend. That's all I want to see from them. Their skills are miles better than Gordon, Morris, Lambert and Hunt so if they can match the efforts of the lesser lights, they'll be more effective.

i would say to your strange opinion. A oid like mcdonough who you seem to think cant run out a game who constantly gets best for richmond ressies would be much more of a player than a washed up 10 possesion wonder like newman. Or a 6 tackle 4 handball morris. Or a 5 free kick give away a match gordon. Maybe you can go tell your supercoach that trying a 20 year old kid to make a mistake or 2 instead of the same crap hes tried for 3 years might help a bit. But like him i doubt you have the brain capacity to realise kids can learn more playing 1sts footy than 2nds. Maybe after this week you will learn a lesson and shut your mouth. Everyone will be smarter for not reading your garbage posts

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Dimma will probably bend himself over & smile.....Cos at the end of the day senior coaches don't want to see players fail....

i bet that this werk mcdonough isnt played half back. He will be forward chopping out in the mid. Hardwick will do it this week because he has to. Kids cant be a sub week in week out. They need game time. Newman. Morris. gordon. They are the subs. Give the kids a chance.

i dont see the tried n tested in the best for the 2nds week after week.

stiff cheddar. Mcdonough beat the door down. Now play him. You cant prove bugger all as a sub. Get a clue mate

He was doing a promo with Leigh Montagna at the Neverland store

You can prove heaps as a sub. Make the most of your opportunities when you get on. Maybe you need to take some of your own advice.

Play as sub and then play a complete different possie than you do when best for the ressies. Get a life mate. Not much idea im thinking

Yeah but that's this got to do with me a scarf? haha I'm missing something.

 

[TyroneVickery29]

Last minute decision, but I think I might travel down to hopefully see the tiges get up.
What's my best option for getting a ticket?

I reckon you should be right at the gate doubt GA will sell out. I know the club is saying pre purchase but i think that'd be more so to put more money in the fundraiser
