A sad tale really, in control of our own destiny and faded in 7 games.

He is confidant if we can exploit their defence we can win, I dont share this belief, who knows.

5 good, logical inclusions.

Graham sub.

Let Dinger off the leash.

I agree re Dinger but give Graham a full game FFS. Really looking forward to seeing this kid play we haven't had an exciting debutante for quite some time.

Let Yarran ponce around for a quarter and a half and if he doesn't deliver... bring on the Nick. For those of you who haven't yet seen this kid in action... reckon you'll like what you see.

Also watched the Blue Print and was firstly impressed that the club allowed such (constructive and deserved) criticism to be aired on their website - that is impressive and a departure from the usual Marketing/PR driven drivel.

When Sellars rolled out those stats I immediately thought of the Tiggers last years.

Tells me we are doing something right... but may just not have the personnel to deliver it and others may just need more time to adjust to the MM defensive style...

And whilst I'm on that - I am not a devotee to the strictly defensive mindset. I reckon our defensiveness has cost us games (maybe due to player confusion which will subside once they get used to it). Personally, I believe that worrying your opponent with effective offensive tactics is very important. Balance. The Fluffy Ducks can now do this... they can switch from dour defensiveness to committed offense. As do the Pussy Cats and Dawks... even the D1ckers are showing an attacking flair.

@Baggers

Agree Baggers, you got it spot on. Until we have the full bag of attacking and defensive skills in our toolbag we won't win a flag. It's going to be a more painful process than we thought to learn all of these but I'm still optimistic that we will be successful, hopefully in the not too distant future.
Reality always wins in the end.

Mark McClure states the obvious, and does it well.
It has been clear that we have lacked big fella power up forward and down back.
The back line is suspect without Henderson and we need two of him in the forward line.
The amigos are great, but they are effective when we have big strong contesting players.
While it is true fitness and commitment have been lacking, we have lacked balance as well.
Good team selections this week.
Get Jack Watts
Get another big strong back!

Reminds me of Luke Blackwell but miles faster and with much better disposal skills

Im loving the fact that the betting is heavily stacked towards Richmond and we are now stretching out to roughly $4 to win.

Its going in the right direction.  I reckon Richmond will blink on saturday.  Im starting to think that we might actually get a big win on saturday.

You guys are dreaming. Richmond are the real deal and our coach has lost the players. Can you imagine what would've happened the last two weeks if Juddy wasn't playing? I'm tipping we may start brightly but will be well and truly overrun by half time. This could get very ugly.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
