Possibility if Goldsack doesnt come up that John Anthony gets his crack...also the possibility of Cloke not coming up could give Dawes a crack as well.

Stop this, you'll only encourage Jock!!!

In: Reid
Out: Egan

If Goldy doesnt come up, Anthony must be an inclusion.

In all honesty, we missed top 4 last year because we dropped a couple of 'these' types of games.

This should be a percentage booster if we are to be a serious threat this season.

Anything else, and the boys are kidding themselves.
Beware the swooping Magpie.

I reckon give Egan another run , could be a good game for him to find some form.So i say no changes ( depending on injuries of course )

Hopefully he doesn't have another day out against us.
Really hope we fire from the outset in this one and their is no doubt from the first bounce. If we get down at all to this mob I will probably smash somehting.

He certainly did as he pleased last time. Nobody even the slightest bit interested in chasing him.
Jordon McMahon seems to run all day without any company against us.
N.Brown can have a day out against us, regardless of his soft bludging performances in the weeks prior.
Richo will complete N.Brown's hat-trick of big-name bitches owned, and will long for the company of Presti, who actually gave him a metre or so.

Be satisfied with outscoring them by a goal per quarter.
No such thing as an honourable loss to this pathetic rabble.

I already caused some damage to my house due to the shitty umpiring Friday Night :(

Now I know not to leave potential projectiles near me when I watch the footy.

Dangers:

Delidio (kicked 5! on us last year). He will play forward and stretch us - he has GREAT hands).

Richo (obviously, but hopefully he has his kicking boots on, i.e. kicks inaccurately)

Foley (a fiery little machine, must be stopped at clearances)

Bowden (to run off half back ... Richmond always destroy us at half back)

Nathan Brown (you just sense he's gonna turn it on soon, and we always get burnt by small forwards having a field day)

Schultz (the X factor up forward, he can't bob up as a matchwinner if we decide to double/triple team Richo)

I'm scared of this game every year. We are never safe vs this mob. They ALWAYS lift against us, as do their supporters (and it's their home game). Coupled with the fact that I'm going with my Tigers-fan cousin who has a RIDICULOUS winning record of these matches.

I predict us to fall 3-4 goals behind early as we always do against this mob and play catch-up all day. Sorry, but it happens EVERY F**KING YEAR with Richmond. ANy chance we can snag the first 2 or 3 for once?

Happy with a win that won't give me a heart attack.

Every Tiges game I go down to the G and expect to win and win well. Too often I come away really disapointed.

At this stage of the season, happy with a win. Any sort of a win. Get the 4 points. Talking percentage is thinking the tiges are no good at all. While I don't think they'll make the 8, They have all their senior players back and fit. Expect them to finsh 9th-12th. So I don't see why everyone thinks this is an easy match?

If we (players especially) go in thinking its an easy one, ................... well I think thats been the historical problem against the Tiges!

We need to lift from last weeks debarcle. Lets be honest, in the cold light of day, we lost the game last week through either choking or a very poor last Q effort. Umpiring IMO was bad for both sides through the whole game. It just made me more frustrating.

We need to convert our chances no matter what the score line is. Not waste it cos we're a few points up!

Whatever happens Reid needs to play, becasue i dont think they have the tall timber to mind 3-4 talls, Rocca, Cloke, Reid and Fraser

Saying that, we need to stop Newman King and Bowden etc running off half back, thats why im happy Raines is out injured

If we play well we shouldn't have any troubles, but these kinda games are always a danger
