Round 12 - Richmond v Northern Bullants, Saturday July 3, 2.00pm, Preston City Oval

Stack playing pretty well...He looks to be carrying a few pounds though. Can see why some have reservations about him running out a game at senior level. But the cupboard’s almost bare now - he should come in even if he is a bit under-done.

Standing up for his teammates there too, show his mind is in it with this team. Biggy got outmarked, some no name from them comes into give him, Stack reacted to defend Biggy.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Free kick count anyone.

Them 22
Us 10

 

[Tigers2011]

Poor defending & ball use. Biggy needs to punch from behind.

Free kick count anyone.

just invert the syndesmosis count, and youre close

Looks pretty fit to me.

 

[Tigers2011]

Rioli is no defender either

Rioli is no defender either

Was just about to say the same thing

 

[tigerman]

If Syd doesn’t get a game against the Filth, it can only mean his papers have been stamped, because he has been great today.

 

[spook]

Miller is tall, but not "a" tall.

 

[lamb22]

Score?

 

[spook]

Score?

7.7 to 3.7 their way

 

[67 special]

Looks pretty fit to me.

Glad to hear it...Maybe the streaming quality is adding a few pounds...

 

[spook]

Stacky the best player on the park by a street.

 

[Ripplestick]

Miller certainly doesn't like a contest, I can see why they didn't play him on Thursday, Lacks intensity too. Shame as he has all the skill and physical attributes.

 

[Tigers2011]

Ryan having little impact in the ruck. Don’t understand his positioning - tapping backwards

 

[tigerman]

Looks like we’ll be kicking with a strong breeze in the last quarter, CARN THE TIGES!!!!

 

[ILUVDISCO]

Preston about to bring up win No. 2 by the look of it......*smile* me, we can't beat time with a stick at the minute

 

[bigwow]

Ryan having little impact in the ruck. Don’t understand his positioning - tapping backwards

Thought he looked timid in a couple of ball ups, he didn't a few weeks back. Maybe last week dented his confidence a bit.

 

[spook]

Stack 26, clear BOG
Parker 24, 10 tackles. Butchers it but should bring him in.
Martyn 22
Mansell 20
Danny 18, 4 tackles
Street 17
Miller, Morro 14
Egg 13
Biggie 12
Ralp 10
Ryan 9, 5 marks, 26 hitouts
Cumberland 7, dropped a lace-out sitter from Parker 40 out.
Garth, MoJu 5

I'd bring in Stack, Parker and Mansell and maybe Martyn. Maybe even Egg for the rest of the year - he's got the class for AFL, I know he lacks physicality, just play him, see if he adapts and make a call at the end of the year knowing you won't die wondering.

 

[Tigers2011]

Other takeaways - Maurice junior is miles off AFL. Martyn looks ok. Parker is AFL level albeit his kicking looks average. The debutant Power could be a player too - like his attack on the ball & composure in a contest just before 3/4 time - didn’t think twice about committing.
