Changes for Prelim v geel (Friday Sept 20)

The last couple of weeks with both rucks Hardwick would’ve looked sheepishly at his coaches and been like “wait, we can have our cake and eat it too?”

The comp almost doesn’t deserve what we are about to unleash.

Zero chance of a change.

They'd better be on a strict canned-food diet after last year. Ravioli and rice pudding for afters.

I think our system works wet or dry , that’s where we hold the advantage, it doesn’t matter.

Obviously with them , ( Collingwood game ) they don’t have that same confidence

If it is wet, we may not need both Rucks and be better off with Chol, I would be putting a hard body in instead of Ellis, Geelong's strength is grunt in the packs more so than on the outside.

I don't see changes happening though.

Alternatively if it's wet you can expect benefit from Soldo smashing the ball clear of stoppages allowing our guys to maul it forward. I'd keep him in especially considering we'd expect more stoppages. I get your point of Chol, if someone goes down he could be handy redeployed forward or back. I'll get smashed for this but I reckon Nank is the one you'd consider swapping for a Chol.

MC will have some difficult decisions to make.

I heard we are copping Chamberlain, Ryan and Nichols Friday Night.

I have no words if this is true.

I want us to bash our last two opponents mercilessly and stamp ourselves on all who were laughing at us for 14 weeks.

Anyone have stats on the numbers of stoppages - particularly ball ups - on wet days compared to dry?
If there’s at least the same sort of numbers then that’s why we would benefit from the two big blokes.

It looks like it’ll be dry now, so it’s a moot point. But tapping a wet ball down to a wet ground where 20 players will pressure immediately means we’ll be lucky to get even 1 clear example of a hitout cleanly leading to a chain of possessions that results in a goal...

Plus we’ve got a superstar kid available who was born to play finals, so I’m looking for any excuse to bring him in!

If we got Chamberlain, I wouldn't even have words if it was false. and words come pretty Ez To mE.
 
Don’t worry about the umps.
Just worry about what we can control.
Be a Richmond Man.
