Preview Round 7 2018: Richmond v Fremantle MCG 6th May 1.10pm

[joelsyt]

Got to be Miles in if Cotch doesn't pull up!

Definitely! Cotchin has been playing that pure inside midfield role this season. Miles almost has to be in if Cotchin doesn’t pull up. Dusty will also have to play more midfield than he usually would as well. The little things Cotchin does around the ground to inspire the team and get them going are going to be missed though.

 

[joelsyt]

How many points do we have to win so Freo don't get a moral victory?

I think it depends on if Cotchin plays or not.

I think it depends on if Cotchin plays or not.

I'm thinking like 60+ without Cotchin, 80+ with Cotchin.

Going to be a tough day at the office.

 

[Martin#4]

Balme didn’t sound overly concerned.

Sounds like the most minor of doubts and that he’d more than likely play.

 

[Schlurp]

Three games in 12 days suggests some players will be rested. Cotch should be one of these. Perhaps also Rance who got banged about quite a bit against Collingwood. Townsend, B Ellis, Miles, Soldo and even Markov may be considered. And it's not just a matter of resting the bodies. The players' minds need some time out to refresh for the harder games to come.

 

[Sauce_Tiger]

Two tough games with a short turn around I know, but it's only round 6. I wouldn't be resting anyone yet. Full strength till the back end of the season when hopefully we've consolidated a top 2 position (or at least top 4). Freo have some dangerous players and ain't the worst. Don't play anyone with any niggles, but I wouldn't be 'resting' players this early on. Keep getting wins on the board Tigs!

Don’t like this chatter about resting key players thinking we are just going to cruise to victory regardless.
We have a mid season bye to refresh the players.
No team in the comp should be taken lightly or we will be in for a reality check pretty quickly.

Whatever we would win by plus 1

Markov injured his quad in the VFL on Saturday - out for 1-2 weeks.

 

[SA_Tiger11]

Cotch will play and deliver another one on Neales chin.

 

[DrMike]

I have no confidence in us winning this week. Neither team has won at home for years

Don't care where either team is at or who is reigning premiers. Strange things happen in football

I still have us tipped but anyone saying it'll be a blow out is insane, especially given there will likely be showers

You're right. People need to tone it back a notch. They're making us all look like big jerks.

Tigers by 84.

3.90 to 3.6

 

[Ralll]

I have no immediate wants for ins/outs, McIntosh played a shocker, more than a few are making basic skill errors the last couple of weeks, (for whatever reason) I'll back Balme, Dimma and co. to sort it out, they're not getting much wrong of late.

Should be an easy win, far too good for a team like Freo on the mcg.
hmmm strange, Im having deja vu...

But honestly, Im hoping we can clean up our act going I50 and then I feel we'll become the complete team, still not there yet. It's been 3 qtrs of mess followed by 1 qtr of brilliance the last 2 games, hopefully we can bridge that gap.

 

[TimmytheTiger]

They won't get near us... With or without Teflon Trent

 

[Makeshft_Mauler]

I think we will actually take the moral points this week

ROss the boss is tanking for moral draft picks.

Richmond by 49

Mundy to kick a goal after the siren again .

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Playing on our home deck with Walters out? I'm prepared to call it now...

Moral victory to Freemantle.

Cotchin or No Cotchin

[Shazza_]

wouldnt care if we lost

 

[HTT]

wouldnt care if we lost

That is the biggest piece of bullshit I’ve read on this board since whatever Norf poster it was reckoned Dusty to Norf was a done deal

So all of them then?

 

[HTT]

So all of them then?

Yes, come to think of it. All 3.

 

[tigs2010]

I used to go into games hoping there would be a few outs for the opposition.

I don't do that any more.

Thank you 2017.

I don't even look at the teams for either side any more. Just enjoy the game on the day.
