RD 21: Richmond v Carlton (Pre-game Prayers) August 11, 2013, 01:57:23 am Richmond vs CarltonSaturday 17 August 2013@13:45MCGNo Judd, Tigers with 5 years of beltings in their memories and no doubt they have pay-back lined up. Maybe we can get a deadcat bounce after last night's humiliation but I fear the worst. Richmond by 10. Last Edit: August 11, 2013, 01:59:10 am by ItsOurTime

I just can't see how we can beat the Tiges on our present form.

Haven't got a hope in hell beating any of the 3 side we are playing next. If MM thinks he has a massive task now fixing this list, wait another 3 rounds. These soulless, priceless, frauds will not even give a yelp.

I was intending to go and upgrade but I aint spending any more hard earned on watching us. I will still go to the NBs games though, at least they seem fair dinkum... and the food is cheaper
Re: RD 21: Richmond v Carlton (Pre-game Prayers) Reply #11 – August 11, 2013, 11:29:04 am Team selections this week :OUT : All 22 playersIN : All VFL playersI realise that this on the surface will seem like utter madness but what is the point in flogging a dead horse, most of the senior players are cooked right now. There is a raft of players in the seconds who could do with the experience (Graham, Buckley, Menzel etc) and then there are those who we are wondering if they will ever make it and/or has time passed them by (Mitchell, McCarthy, Duigan, Laidler, Davies, Collins etc).We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by going "fully sick" at the selection table, let's use these last three rounds to our advantage especially as we are well out of finals contention now (and I don't want the charity finals entry if the Bombers get booted too). So what if we tumble further down the ladder ?? We get a better draft pick(s) the lower we go plus we will not be under any expectation or scrutiny next year seeing as we finished down the bottom end.
