Mighty Tigers vs Petraccabourne Friday 26th March

[mrposhman]

Yeh and that narrative went on for the whole telecast- baffling

They were clearly Melbourne nuffies.

Melbourne were "missing key players" in Viney, Brown, Weiderman, Hibberd, Pickett, Hore (the last 2 have played 14 games each).

We were missing Prestia (better player than Viney), Houli (to even compare here to Hubberd is laughable), Lambert (key player for us), Rioli (same), Soldo didn't even get a mention from them but is best 22. If they want to include 14 gamers, then we should be including Stack in there too as again a much better player than Marty freaking Hore.

Full strength must mean something different to Melbourne nuffies.

We got beaten by the Shemans and Lollingwood last year in practise games and then got off to a poor start. Hope we get it together a bit faster this year. Given our game plan relies on manic pressure when we are off slightly it’s not hard to pick us apart through the middle.

Start v blues was fine , was after the lockdown resumption and splintered training groups we looked sluggish

I enjoyed the 'B' game as I got the chance to see some of our kids play. There will be a few knocking on the AFL door this season which is good for our future

Where are these 6 picks coming from??!!

2 first rounders
2 2nd rounders
2 3rd rounders

*We traded last years first rounder for a 2021 first rounder *Geelong's
*We get a 2nd rounder from a swap of picks from last year
*We get Stkilda's 3rd rounder from the Higgins trade

We got St Kilda 2nd rounder for Higgins
We got Gold Coasts 3rd rounder for Markov

That'd be 6 picks in the first 60 not the first 35

 

[Sintiger]

Every year there are narratives on here and elsewhere about practice match form and every year that form has proven to be irrelevant, yet it gets trotted out again and again. I recall the really good Sydney sides of the noughties under Roos lost just about every pre season game for years

Two things to remember about the game on Friday. Our game is built on manic pressure and it's not going to be there in February and it will never be that way, sides that if given space and time look good ( like Melbourne) always do well in pre season games because the pressure isn't there. The other is that we played a Grand final at the end of October and our players will be behind those who didn't play finals in their conditioning.

Absolutely nothing to worry about from that game. Just be grateful noone got injured

He didn't know that.
Party pooper
Bomtemptelly will cost us our first 3 and next year's 1st.
Footscary will match the offer.

Thanks Brother Love.
Like we don't know, we dont wake up til after the mid season bye.
Every Richmond supporter is sitting back sucking down pina colada's til we flick the switch.
This will be our easiest flag of the last 3.

Getting tired of the pina coladas. Might switch over to fluffy ducks

But yes, Zips, spot on. We don't get up until after the bye.

Nothing better then a ice cold pina colada to warm you up

Haaaarrrgh.
Bumpmytelly gunna cost us two first rounders and a second rounder end of this year, plus our first pick in next years draft.
Only player worth that much b the Dusty man circa 2017 onward. Bumpmytelly can stay in his kennel n roll around among the barkers eggs.

 

[richards42]

Loved CJ’s game yesterday. Great hands and mobility.
Can see him taking ground time from Nank soon after his suspension finishes in round 4.
Also liked the games of round 1 contenders Dow, Martyn and Ross, with replacements for Bacher and Prestia, to come from these three?

6 picks under 35.
Cotchin to free up 700k
Castgna and Bolton signatures are priority and then i expected us to go hard after a free agent.
If Bompmytelly hasn't signed
2022 midfield Soldo Martin Martyn Prestia Ross Bompmytelly
Not bad.

 

[richards42]

I love the big Nanker but he can get injured a bit with the way he plays so I think CJ when he plays will be vital for us. It will give Nank a little break during the season and be good for his own career. It may give us an insight how it will work when Jack retires.

Out of all of the kids to retire, i would keep Jack in front of others.
People get sucked in by the media.
He should've kicked 4 goals again in last year's GF, a follow to his 5 the yesr before.
Outstanding and very smart footballer

Yep.
Dow looks to good for magoos level.
Liked the work of Josh Green, won't complain if we throw him a last minute chance on the list. Rawboned kid strong overhead n tidy enough around the packs to be developed further.
Eggsy just way to smooth off half back for magoos level.
Biggie's got some decent intercept marking n played tidy n composed out of the back line.
Cujo's still developing nicely, plays big strong n hard.
Moju's just *smile* exciting.
Bit worried about Garp's game. Played forward instead of back n had bugger all influence on the game.
Not sure who they were, but 26 n 34 also had some good game for the magoos.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Egg is so far above the rest it's astonishing Mansell got a gig ahead of him, let alone the others being considered. Green is a chance on type if he ticks baseline athleticism and work rate standards. Looks like a Caddy type, only much bigger.

 

[mrposhman]

I just don't see Egg getting better and he's still not physical enough and indecisive. A largely hands free game suits him, hence why pre-season he looks at the level. He looks lost when the pressure goes up hence why I don't think he will make it at the top level, particularly at the top of the ladder. He's probably better suited to someone in the bottom 6 of the AFL.
