And boom ..... he counters with the "Champ" Stamp

Whether it was necessary or not ... it has to be respected

 

[BarkerFan]

We have 8 on the injury list

Adelaide 7

Brisbane 7

Carlton 9

Collingwood 6

Essendon 8

Fremantle 12

Geelong 5

Geelong 5

Gws 7

Hawthorn 8

Melbourne 9

North Melbourne 7

Port Adelaide 4

Richmond 13

Sydney 9

West Coast 8

Western bulldogs 6

So there are 8 teams who have the same or more injuries than us.

So.most of the competition has 7 or more injuries. Maybe their high performance medical staff are s**t too


Or Maybe it's the nature of the game, champ

We are getting Tigers at a good time.. 14 injuries... Of course quality is important as well but they have out:

Baker, Balta, Hopper, Lynch., Prestia, Gibcus

Then they have tests for
Martin, Grimes, Graham. If any miss it is another big blow to them..

So this week, I would say that ourmajor injuries and outs are
Henry, Crouch, Clark, Paton, Dow, Wood, Windhager

Anyway, I think if either side had their best 22 it would be one sided. But both are handicapped.

Webster more than than Paton, but your point's well made. Having them both out at the same time has been massive. We have lacked a small lockdown defender and it's showed.

 

[The Boar]

Grimes is the bigger out with Balta and Gibcus gone, our talls will get some opportunities!

Wilkie to take Dusty.

 

[The Punter]

Wilkie to take Dusty.

Is this the best idea? Wilkie didn't really do a magnificent job on Stringer last week. It also drags him away from third man up opportunities.

Wilke dropped a lot of marks he would normally take last week, I hope he is on song this week.

I don't know why Gus Mac isn't getting a crack at it. Particularly now with Sincs back l can't see the value in keeping Bonner there as now 3 out of 4 small defenders are average to poor defensively.

Suspensions haven’t helped either!

 

[The Boar]

Good call.
Could use a better balance of lock down defenders, hopefully McLennan can fill that role soon

 

[Saints43]

Suspensions haven’t helped either!

I'm hoping Ross has taken the opportunity to let Webster and King know that we've lost two games by very small margins where they may have made the difference but let their emotions affect the success of the club.
Grow up boys.

 

[beside the seaside]

And they are losing Lynch Balta and Baker

They're big losses but they are handy ins. They're coming off a huge win against Sydney, we shat the bed against Essendon. They have Taranto in beast mode who always kills us, Vlaustin the same.

I just don't see it as clear cut at all. We need to be well and truly up for this, it's a season defining game I reckon.

I agree with season defining.

I’m not nearly as worried as you are with King back.

I hope he hasn't.
I know from Websters speech at the time that he realises his mistake and really regretted it.
I know from my marriage, that harping on and on about something that i ****ed up doesn't achieve anything.

Who Champed who , what have i missed out on

 

[Hubnester]

Sorry guys, appreciate that things are different whether you feel it's for better or for worse, but we need to keep on track here and stay respectful of everyone involved.

Regarding the game, I heard there might be a couple of other richmond players uncertain to start, do we know anyting about that or am I getting my wires crossed with the players who are already confirmed out?

 

[Joffaboy]

What happened to the Hill broken hand?

 

[Hubnester]

What happened to the Hill broken hand?

Not broken but required stitches, people were saying. Haven't heard anything officially about his availability, not sure whether no news is good news there!

 

[Saint Watto]

What happened to the Hill broken hand?

Joffa....we were told yesterday that Gresh has stepped on Hilly's hand during the game..........which resulted in an inch long cut....which subsequently got infected.

That's all we heard.

There didn't seem to be a great deal of concern tho.

We'll find out more tomorrow.

They seem to be uncertain whether Grimes will return. Reportedly didn't do much yesterday on the track.

Bloody Gresh.

Oof... Who does that remind me of, Armitage was it? Had a deep cut into his calf which got infected and had him hospitalised?
Hopefully nothing that serious.

Interesting... He's a defender, yeah? That has to hurt if he's out or underdone.

 

[kyrgios]

just win.



please

 

[BrutThough]

He's played on King a few times and done well so it's a win for us if he doesn't get up.
