One of those games we should win comfortably.
Just to be a bit cautious though.
They have some strong inclusions.
They were terrible in the first half...a bit like us.
They played some good footy in the third, before the game became a much more even contest.
The emotional effort of our performance, the 'afterglow' and the toll that takes on a short turnaround is a bit of an unknown.
Blues by 40 :D

Skipper's birthday on Monday and I think I heard that Doc to be named as a life member on Monday also.....couple of big incentives for the club to notch up a win....not that we should need any incentives against Richmond who had the wood on us for a very long time.

If Moir comes in for Owies we still have small forward options with Fantasia, Cunningham, Fogarty and Cottrell all able to play that role while doubling up with some midfield minutes.

Based on one of the assistant coaches giving him a hug  :)

Carlos would provide more of a Jack Martin type forward ... but without Jack's footy smarts.
Whos Carlos?

Danger game....media have come down hard on a few of the Tigers old players like Grimes and Yze is still in the honeymoon phase of his tenure even though his first game was a nightmare. I'll be happy with another 1 point win, to bank the points, and to have no more injuries. Id expect Richmond to play a rough game and try and even up the talent difference with some sharp elbows and well placed knees....hello Toby Nankervis.

Ashton Moir?.....Might be a reference to Carlos Moya the Spanish tennis player.....

It seems that the players are pushing the nickname ‘Carlos’ for Moir and it is a reference to the tennis player.

Ashton isn’t completely sold on it but I think it’s growing on him 🙂

Wasn’t Setanta aka Carlos?

Out Doc
In Corey Durdin another like Jack Carroll on final year of contract and need a good run at it

Looks like Fogs will play more midfield minutes.

Sub???
No, this year they name 5 on the bench and one of them is the sub.

Only way he is playing is if there is a late change.

Our line-up for tomorrow:
Backs: Zac Williams  Lewis Young  Brodie Kemp
Half-backs:  Adam Saad  Mitch McGovern  Nic Newman
Centreline:  Matthew Cottrell  Patrick Cripps  Blake Acres
Half-forwards:  David Cuningham  Charlie Curnow  Orazio Fantasia
Forwards:  Matthew Owies  Harry McKay  Ollie Hollands
Followers:  Tom De Koning  Adam Cerra  George Hewett
Interchange:  Jordan Boyd  Jack Carroll  Corey Durdin  Lachie Fogarty  Matthew Kennedy
 
Emergencies:  Jaxon Binns  Ashton Moir  Marc Pittonet

I am a bit surprised to see Durdin come in. I do expect Kennedy to spent a lot more time in the middle. I'd like some more pace in the middle, but...
I am still unsure of having one ruck: de Koning played well last week, but Nankervis often plays well against us. Granted, they also have one real ruck, but I'd like to have Pitto in. I am not sure how far off he is, but he does need game time.
Our backline is still a question mark, especially against Lynch (who never gets a kick against Weitering).
Live Long and Prosper!

They have a couple of good ins (Martin and Lynch), I hope they are short of a gallop but they are big stage performers.
Rumours of some unrest between senior players and the new cocker, maybe that's an advantage for us if its real.
I'm with EB, I'm also happy to take a 1 pt win, bank points and not get any injuries.
