i am sure the players are taking this first game of the season lightly....

dane's trolling again

So who lines up on Riewoldt?
Who's on Jayden Post?
Polak?

Do you put AJ on delidio? Martin? Tambling? Nahas?

Kreuzer on Vickery?

Waite to start in back half and push forward?

Should Lucas play?

AJ should play on Tambling and hound him out of the game.

Maybe Browne or Army on Nahas.

Really though we should have a highly attacking mind set considering they will have a young inexperienced team. We shouldn't be overly defensive in this game IMO.

perhaps..

AJ to play on Nahas
Thornton on Morton
Jamo on Reiwoldt
Bower on Polak
Carrazzo to run with Cousins (yes he will probably play)
Simpson on Tambling (or Armfield to tag him if he plays)
Walker to run with Deledio
If they load their forward line with 3 talls then russell can play on Morton which gives us an extra tall as it releases Thornton.
Jackson will probably get Gibbs
Cotchin to run with Murphy

i may be on my own here, but i really feel extremely confident we will do an absolute number on the tigers!

they should be the side looking at who will run with/stop who shouldn't they??

we are far superior and really should look at 2 players, cousins if he plays is dangerous, and perhaps tambling.

the tigers on the other hand must worry about gibb's, murph, waite, walks, kreuzer to name a few

any thoughts?

I completely agree. We should smash them. They have IMVHO the worst list in the competitionj and they'll be sucking dirt off the bottom for some time. It suits the swine; the gutless turds.

Think about their list:
- Still has Jordan McMahon
- They cut deep last year in an acknowledged shallow draft; 7 picks in a dud year - because it IS A BETTER OPTION THAN THE CRUD THEY KEPT
- J. McMahon
- Has Morton and Polak as key forwards? For sure Morton is a good 3rd or 4th forward but main striker?
- R.Tambling had an acknowledged better year in 2009 but he still runs around in circles, geting dizzy before gradually passing off
- B.Cousins is still in their best 3 players despite being in hospital

AND

Jordan McMahon

They are shizenhousen.

If we cant win by a good solid 40 points then I'll resign.

Not sure what from but I'll just do it.

Kane Lucas definitely a chance...depends on whether they weigh final selections on experience over youth.

Why tag poor disposers of the ball? Tambling can't kick to save himself.

The only players worth tagging at Richmond are Cotchin and Cousins, the rest you apply pressure and they will turn it over quicker than ........ moving on.

And Deledio.

If we play with full intensity and keep these 3 in check I can't see us losing.

There is no footy god

My team for round 1:

Joseph Jamo Thornton
Russell Bower Scotland
Walker McLean Simmo
Yarran Henderson Robinson
O'Hailpin Waite Betts

Kreuzer Gibbs Murphy

I/C Warnock Houlihan Carrazzo Armfield

Emerg Browne Grigg Hadley

Not far off either through injury , recovery, form : Hampson Jacobs Lucas Gartlett Austin Judd

Grigg will play, doubt Armfield will. Apart from that I think you're pretty spot on with that team.

it's @#$%&! unbelievable.

an dedicated HD sports channel that owns the rights to the blockbuster season opener and I'm left to listen to it on the @#$%&! radio.

even foxtel has a replay on half an hour eailer.

i honestly can't believe with multichanneling that we still can't get semi decent coverage up here.

who can i complain to?

time for some flame mail

Haven't checked the guide for Queensland. What about Main Event?

That's ridiculous for AFL and the promotion of the code.

You'd be surprised to know that the west (yes Blacktown included) were some of the first areas to have cable roll out.
Whilst they are not big on credit cards, they do have plenty of cash out there. There's a lot of them on the other side of Parramatta.

I'm sure the AFL will stitch up the FTA networks in the next TV rights negotiations. The AFL cannot afford to have weak FTA support of the code in western Sydney.
