Preview Tigers vs Swans, 8.10pm Friday 14 April at Adelaide Oval

[jetbhag]

nank been shite

Been underpeforming big time. His injuries have been a blessing throughout our premiership years. Only if soldo was back in this week.

 

[_RT_]

Think so, probably our most experienced fit ruck at this point
Any idea how far along Soldo is?

Soldo listed as short term last week, which would suggest 1-2 weeks, but then needs to build up fitness so more likely 3-4 away.

 

[smurfin]

I'm just looking forward to seeing the youngsters play.
They'll gradually get replaced in the team by Short, Broad, Soldo, Tarrant, Nank, Lynch. But a real chance for them to show what they're made of.

 

[richoplzbreed]

Dunno why people are romanticising the return of Soldo. He was completely useless last year, in effect it's been 3 years since he was playing ok footy. Last year he couldn't get close to reading the flight of the ball and would shuffle forward, then back and completely lose the ball like a 3 stooges skit. When the ball was on the ground Rebel Wilson would beat him at winning the contest. Play Ryan, Miller and Pickett in the ruck and the players can prepare to rove to opposition rucks. Bring in Banks for Graham, Riewoldt for Lynch and Miller for Nank. Cotchin can take Mansells spot. And Dow gets the vest. Forward structure is gonna suck for a few weeks, play Riewoldt and Miller rotating CHF, plonk Ryan in the square with Bolton crumbing. When Ryan rucks or is on bench isolate Dusty in the square. Someone has to nullify Callum Mills

, last year he mopped everything up and did as he pleased. Also rotate Banks, HRS through the wings to see what the future holds. Our KPD have held up ok so far, hopefully it rains again cos their talls might stretch us.

In: Riewoldt, Miller, Banks, Cotchin, Dow.

Out: Nank, Lynch, Graham, Mansell.

 

[captain blood 17]

Ducks gonna loose to our VFL team.

 

[SplintWhisky]

We really need this trip away. Dimma should get all the players together and just say "Go have fun". No one gives us a shake and we will be lucky if we get close to them. We need to return to having the fun in the game and getting players enjoying themselves.

 

[Truetiger]

Winnable game for sure. Swans aren't flying atm.

Even the under 10s would beat us lol. Every game winnable until we find a way to lose.

Out- Judas

 

[Groupie_]

nank was 22 when he came over in 2017

ryan is now 22

here is your chance lad

 

[beema limapep]

We have been saving Ryan's privates for too long.

Play the youth and straighten this shit out.

And yes it's Miller time

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Rucks unless you have AA type Ruckman are extremely over rated and we will be fine imo

Time to change our mind set and use multiple players through the ruck

Ryan - Miller - Pickett - Balta all having small stints

This could be a blessing in disguise

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

I'm proud to say it's not in Richmond DNA to tank. We will keep fighting hard. Unlike Dees and Blues who tanked all those years ago for the Kruezer Cup and got all those high draft concessions year after year to get them to where they are now. Wonder how many Dees/Blues fans would admit this well known fact

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Out- Judas

Good one mate

 

[Tiger51]

As some previous posters have implied it appears loss of key fitness staff has had a detrimental effect eg Lynch with Plantar Fasciitis late last year is now stress fracture requiring surgery, JG has been hobbling since the 2nd round now hamstring, Nank clearly struggling so far this season now ankle surgery. Too many coincidences for my liking, makes me suspicious of others with injury setbacks. What are others views are our medical and fitness staff at fault here?

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Ducks gonna loose to our VFL team.

As long as it doesn't come down to under a goal then I'm with ya. Can you promise more than a 6 point win ?

 

[sante]

who gonna be the number 1 ruck now?

ryan with miller back-up?

Pickett

Most seem like impact injuries so more bad luck than anything conditioning doesn’t make a difference especially for Lynch and Nank

Lynch may have been untreated stress fracture since late last year and Nanks could have been Synonymous, with fitness staff hoping he could carry the injury?

It’s impossible to really say without knowing the details could be related but just as likely to be not related as well

But the calls for a player to play also aren’t just made by one person and would be made after advice from both club and independent doctors and the player themselves declaring themselves fit

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

In : miller Ross Cotchin jr8

Play Pickett Full Forward .

Tiges by 78 points. Ryan to kick 8. Mansell 6.

Why on earth are we dropping Mansell? No matter your feelings toward him, he was one of our best on the weekend.
