Prediction Round 5, 2024: Changes vs Richmond

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Interesting still not confident but if he misses it does help.

You know, you're about 100 times better at posts on tactics. Your heart's just not in this player sponsorship thing.

Haha probably.

There is only so much that can be done that remains in the bounds of credibility when you receive pick 39 and take Rotham.

Richmond injury list on 9/4

Best 22 missing -
Grimes (wasn’t named in the 26 man squad)
Hopper
Prestia
Balta
Lynch
Gibcus
Ross (not on the injury list but was an out injured when team was named)

That’s 7 definite best 22 (at least 4 would be top 10) missing plus potentially Taranto so it’s a fair bit of quality missing. Don’t know enough about Richmond’s list to know if any of the others would be considered best 22

By comparison from our best 22 we’re missing -
Allen
Ryan
Flynn
Sheed
Hewett

Less quantity (5 v 7 or 8) and less quality missing for us as I’d only have Allen in our top 10

With Taranto, Prestia and Hopper missing from their starting midfield it evens things up substantially

No excuses for anything other than a very competitive showing from us. A loss by any more than 2 or 3 goals would be disappointing

Very interesting.

With others missing from Richmond's midfield, Taranto is currently responsible for 1 in 9 of their total contested possessions for the season, and 1 in 4 of their total clearances.

Will be significant if he misses.

Yeah I get that his response should have been something to the tune of

Everyone is above us right now and has been for 2 years. We are s**t and can't take the Bendigo under 15s lightly

That'd be great for morale...

Simmo - 'Darling has been making the effort, he just needs to be rewarded for it with a couple of easy goals'...?
Need Darling to find his mojo this Sunday (and a few others) and kick some easy goals, hard goals, curly goals, any goals...
The Tigers are pumped, the Eagles are pumped, should be a cracker game!

 

[Cuzz09]

Darling just needs an early confidence boost in a game.

Take a couple of marks, kick a goal hopefully he gets his season going

Its all setup for a rare Eagles win. Can't believe we are still big outsiders.
Tigers injury list, home ground advantage and an improved performance last week has me optmistic of a good game.
Taranto out helps as well.

After two wins at home in 2 years and none for over a year I'd love to see a win on Sunday.

Cmon boys don't get my hopes up for nothing

More pain for Richmond with star midfielder among two fresh injuries

A sour day for the Tigers.

Should win…..
Must win….. LFG lads.

Can we send clips of Darling getting scragged in the forwardline to the AFL?

I think you’ve cracked why we are still big outsiders mate - don’t get those hopes too high and shoot for a competitive effort - this time is still a way off actually winning I think.

Amateurs.

Put him in the wrist equivalent of a moonboot (a sling I guess?) for 6 weeks and then send him to Melbourne to meet with Australia’s top wrist motion expert for a 10 week program of wrist strengthening exercises.

Then surgery.

Changes

In. Winning
Out. Losing

No excuses, go 100% hard and confident, get the job done!

 

[flyinghi64]

Time for us to start beating up on teams with a big injury list.
We copped it for 2 years straight now it's PAYBACK TIME, and it starts this bloody Sunday.

 

[DanWCE]

Does Richmond have a safe word?

Darlings effort was there last week, tackles and even flying for marks!!

If we as a collective give the effort we gave against the Swans, we win!

 

[KERRPOW]

Im not changing my tip to the eagles.

can just see the tigers winning with their 'backs to the wall'

 

[Tyberious Funk]

With everyone feeling pretty upbeat at our chances, I have a sneaky feeling we are actually going to get flogged.

 

[Boohemian]

Yeah I get that his response should have been something to the tune of

Everyone is above us right now and has been for 2 years. We are s**t and can't take the Bendigo under 15s lightly

So what do you want him to say?

For reals.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Has everyone forgotten that teams that are missing their stars have always been our kryptonite?

I’ll believe we can win when I see it happen.
