Richmond have also lost 3 out of their 4 encounters with the Gold Coast and what is it now? 11 of the last 12 against us?

Yep the losses against us is all we have going for us but I feel that may be detrimental to our chances as our last three outings against the Tiges have shown, it takes us a half of football to show up. Typical of our mentality.

I reckon the GC will beat most sides at home this year personally.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Don't give a flying fig re history.

Much rather be in the 'making history' corner than reflecting on it.

We'd better ring in the changes if we hope to beat this mob (Tiggers).

Ins: Graham, Buckley and Cripps
Outs: Walker (susp), McInnes and Robinson

Would play Everitt back for the whole game in place of McInnes. Buckley to replace Walker off half back and Cripps for Robbo. Graham to add to our midfield rotations. Menzel has to play a full game.

I suspect White or Casboult will come in as a forward and then Hendo (if fit) and Everitt will roll back to re-organise the back line. We must cover both Riewoldt and Vickery who has been a problem for us in the past. Remember Vickery is the Fugu kick specialist, I am sure McLean will!

When he was fit Thomas has a history of tearing Nthmond a new one, then again he did that to many clubs!

Surely Garlett gets the vest if he keeps his spot. Give Menzel a decent run an it.

Would've loved Betts up front instead of Thomas. Looks like we'll be waiting a little to see the best of Daisy.
So I didn't see very much of the game at all but a mate who went on Sunday made the following comments:
1. Menzel appeared to be labouring around and look injured from the minute he came on. Many people around him also commented on this.
2. Our ruckmen were both jumping very early and were avoiding contact, were both deplorable.
Is it possible both rucks will be dropped? Is it possible Menzel won't play?
Just on Waite, I've said this many times, why not play him back?

Has all the hallmarks of an epic encounter. Tiges want payback for the finals loss and we want respect from the broader football community.

and I need to continue persecuting my ninethmond loving brotherinlaw, whilst avoiding giving him the opportunity to return fire for a prolonged and successful shaming campaign against him and his team. We better *&^** win.

One forced change so far with Walker out... probably makes way for Scotland.

I think it will be very interesting to see how we react at the selection table. Scotland or Buckley will probably come in for Walker, but who will make way to make changes in the forward line or the midfield? I wish I had an answer.

In . Scotland , Cripps , White

Out . Walker , Robinson , McInnis

Be a bit of a blow if Hammer is the best ruckman out there , but it won't surprise me .
Warnock is looking more like Peter Street every time he plays .
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

MM has hinted that blokes just need game time so that leads me to think that there will be minimal changes. Nick Graham staked a claim with such a good effort for the NBs, along with Scotland. Walker is an obvious out, but who else... McInnes?

Wish the NBs were playing this weekend.

To tell you the truth in the middle we need a point of difference, particularly with Thomas obviously needing more time to get back to full fitness and touch.

I'd be rolling Chris Yarran through there and getting some spark - or at least let's see if he can provide that spark. Does he have the hunger to impact a game through the midfield/wing region on a more regular basis. Can he do it?

We have class in Murphy. Gibbs is learning the role still. Handy type at this stage. Not breakaway quick or anything though. Foot soldiers and hard types lacking some polish in Curnow, McLean, Robinson, Bell, Ellard. Carrazzo can be added to that group when back also although one may make way for him. Ellard very handy up forward to give us some more toughness and consistency roving the packs because Jeff Garlett certainly does not give us that. He's the unpredictable flash.

Wouldn't mind seeing the bullocking Tuohy get some time in the midfield and wing also added to Yarran.

Maybe Buckley can come in and play as a small down back. Lots to learn still but lots to like also.

Cripps, Graham and Holman are others to consider. Cripps is a different bullocking type due to his size but also his clean hands which the blokes mentioned above do not have as good as the young Crippa.

Re forwards - I reckon once we find out (hopefully it actually works but I am not so sure) that Waite, Henderson and Kreuzer isn't working with Jamison, Watson and McInnes playing tall down back we'll need to reshuffle the deck chairs.

He just isn't strong enough in traffic or over the ball, he gets put out of the contest before it starts.

This guy did very well when given that opportunity, but he has a lot to learn. I think Tuohy along with Cripps, Bell and Armfield will be a regulars in the future. Curnow is looking better by the game, he is almost too good now to be wasted as a tagger as he can link up and work outside. Armfield has that explosive pace that Judd has and could be anything. Tuohy is granite on legs and he loves the crash and bash. Cripps is the brains that can work in tandem with Murphy.

Like Tuohy he has a lot to learn, but Cripps might have better vision that most of our midfield. The sooner he gets in their the better he will become. Not unlike Rich at the Lions he will be highly variable to start off and get progressive better. We should be wasting time giving him a run.

Need to be careful with Cripps and not expect too much, watched him pick up Dangerfield I think it was in the NAB cup game in the last quarter and he doesnt have the nous yet to be lining up on Cotchin,Martin or Deledio in the middle.
I would start him as the sub if he played and let him have a look and get the pace of the game...he will be a great player but will get carved up if we start him on good players..

re: Yarran in the middle.....as the receiver why not?....if the other mids can get him the footy he might be give you 10 minutes of brilliance that change the game....you wouldnt do it all the time but everynow and then its worth a shot IMO..

Would also educate and round his game off a bit and make him a better player....
