Very weak looking Richmond team without the likes of Vlastuin and Prestia, surely we cant lose this game and should win easily by 5 goals plus imho. They have a pedestrian midfield with Taranto, Hopper, Ross and seem devoid of matchwinners so I dont see our mids having the same pressure they faced last week vs the star studded Swans midfield group.
Cripps, Hewett, and Walsh should get 35 plus possies each this week and for me the interesting duel will be vs Pittonet and Nankervis slugging it out in the ruck..
Im predicting we have at least one big quarter and pile on the goals with Harry kicking a bag...

I have no idea who is advising Luke Sayers' wife, but whoever it is seems to be doing everything in their power to prove Luke Sayers right.

They are basically giving someone who seems detached from reality an open platform, but then again the media deliver MAFS as entertainment. However, unlike MAFS and it's fake contestants who basically prostitute themselves for 60 seconds of fame, the Sayers Family events are real world, not scripted and cause genuine harm.

The media behaviour in this matter is disgraceful showing zero duty of care for the family.

Our line-up:
B: 2  Lachlan Cowan   23 Jacob Weitering   35 Harry Dean
HB:   11 Mitch McGovern   33 Lewis Young  14 Oliver Florent
C:   31 Campbell Chesser   9 Patrick Cripps   4 Oliver Hollands
HF:   19 Will Hayward   10 Harry McKay   12 Ben Ainsworth
F:   7 Jagga Smith   17 Brodie Kemp   8 Lachie Fogarty
R:   27 Marc Pittonet   29 George Hewett   18 Sam Walsh
Int:   6 Zac Williams   36 Cooper Lord   20 Elijah Hollands   32 Matthew Carroll   40 Hudson O'Keeffe

Em:   39 Talor Byrne   37 Jordan Boyd   43 Ashton Moir

[1] Fog is very lucky. He hasn't produced at senior level for a long time now. I wouldn't worry so much if he had 10 tackles, but I don't think he had 1.
[2] Moir might be a bit stiff, but he needs to show more desire. I think McGovern is going to play forward.
[3] Elijah was very rusty last week: I don't think he will be as ordinary this week. But, he does need to show the disposal he is known for.

I would have dropped Gov and played Derksen.
I would have dropped Fog for Byrne
Byrne will play once he establishes done sort of fitness base, mikes ahead of Fogarty. I also expect Derkson to play before too long as guys like Gov and Young are ‘stop gap’ at best.
Rip the bandaid off, Gov and Young should be back ups only. Play Derksen over one of them now.

Don't need both Gov and Young in the side. Don't need Fogarty there either. Williams can fill that slot.

Young, Fogarty and Elijah would be extremely lucky IMO.
Moir, maybe a little unlucky, but you can't argue too much.....hopefully Williams plays forward this week in his spot.
Reidy for team balance with HOK playing forward/ruck with maybe Harry doing some ruck as well.

Cowan in, will stay in.
Carroll might be keeping the seat warm for Newman or Saad in a couple weeks, but best of luck to him.

Slight improvement, but could do better.
Carrol was generating a bit of hype in the preseason prior to getting hurt so I’ll be interested to see how he goes. Both he and Cowan are good ‘ons’ IMO.
