Preview Round 8 - Richmond vs Fremantle (MCG, 1.10pm, Sun 14 May)

[sante]

What do we think the changes will be?

Soldo out for Nank. Elton is showing signs IMO. We played Griff and Tyrone for years without then showing any more or less than Todd has.

Not sure who comes in for Vlastuin, but it should be Lloyd/Menadue. Probably need a midfielder with Markov going back to defence. Townsend a chance IMO.

I'd give CEllis another crack and move him into the middle.

Youre smarter than this

Not everyone is as bad as you say we all are. Youre magnifying the actions of a few and labelling us all

Relax boss .... I'm taking da p**s.
But you are right, there are a few who do take it way too far.
My one and only trip to the game day thread during an actual game was ab absolute embarrassment and an hour I'll never get back.
I actually fear from some people if that's how they react.

My ol' mate Madness will be happy ... die to that game day thread I'll be personally attending 22 games a season - plus finals - from now until I die.

 

[Roachy8]

anyone thinking we need soldos height against sandilands more than we need eltons dropped marks?

But in all seriousness Soldo is a better ruck than elton, need them to counter Sandilands a bit

I would play Soldo and Nank for sure.

[TigermanM2]

Anything worth listening to or is it like the same stuff trotted out each week?

I know I'll never get those minutes back so I don't want to waste them.

Can we win this game by big? Like, 60+ kind of big? The likes of Adelaide and Port Adelaide are dishing out smashing like it's easy. Yeah, Fremantle are not a bad side, but Adelaide even do it to top teams when playing at home.

This is our home ground against an interstate side. Time to dominate and make playing us at the MCG a tough task.

That's not the Richmond way

 

[Lsta062]

That's not the Richmond way

That is true, and it needs to change. In the 2012-2015 days I didn't mind as much considering we didn't cop many big margins against us in those times, but now that we do, we need to dish it out as well.

Injuries may stop us from posting a big margin this week, but I don't see us having many opportunities to win big after this game.

and make up for the % drop we copped from Adelaide!

No

DID you know wee have lost exactly 462 games of football since we last won a premiership. When you throw in about a dozen draws, the umpires have been responsible for each and every one of those non-wins.
They're a disgrace the men in white, who became men in blue, yellow, orange and now lime and grey.
Well, I think we can write-off one of those losses to Cotchin kicking the wrong way against Port in a final, but that's still 461 games the umps have killed us in.

Don't forget Bachar's kick , that 460 now.

Oh and I remember being really mad with Dragasevic after missing a shot against Adelaide one day at Etihad that I thought cost us the game. Oh, and Plough balmed Morton for costing him the game and his job once. However the other 458 were definitely the umps and not our crap play...

 

[mopsy]

Would like to see more but cant see more than three changes. Still want to see us put some games into one of Chol or Moore.
Freo are based on their team from last week. I can see them including another tall defender.

Moore
Lloyd

Vlastuin
C Ellis.

For every event at the MCG, the MCC library volunteers create a fact sheet with historical facts and articles specific to the teams playing that day.
These are normally available for pickup at the MCC library.

I've just noticed they're now made available as a PDF!

I would play Soldo and Nank for sure.

100% with you re Soldo

Is tall enough to go against Sandi...Nank has shown he has sublime making hands and kicking ability and would be an asset at CHF with our mosquito fleet

Height and muscle around the ground is a good thing

Elton whilst not disastrous is not what we need

Remember how we got beaten by 26 goals against Geelong in 2007? If not for the umps we would've got up by 5 goals.

This could really work out. Nank to CHF and Soldo as the first ruck... mmmm.....wonder what the club is thinking?

 

[Sterge]

Ivan2 whilst getting plenty of hitouts last week wasn't putting them anywhere near where we needed them and was far too predictable. Against a top flight ruckman like sandi he will get murdered just because he is tall enough doesnt mean he is ready.

Lessons must be learnt.

Better to blood him in a game we can still win without getting the Hit outs to advantage.
