Walks referred to Judd as "the skipper" in his ABC radio interview LOL

He said they'd all be close to selection.

I was in a very good mood. Don't like the sound of that at all.

Not surprised that Hendo is hurt. He has looked sore the last couple of weeks. Hopefully the extra day will help, because we really really need him.

Brock, Judd & Scotland are automatics if fit. I will be very surprised if all 3 get up. I don't reckon we'll see many changes.

We are coming off 2 tough games, they are coming off 2 soft games. I'm not sure who that will help....?

Not following you around Rhino,but that is exactly how i would go..................Reckon Maric is there spiritual leader and as such i would place a bullseye on him.Let our three talls hammer the shit out of him coz i reckon he is showing signs of fatigue.After the Tigers first half dozen i reckon they fall away quick...........its time for our side to get physical.Target there guns and i reckon they will collapse.Its not actually a game we are playing but more of a MIND game.Got to be ferocious early.Target Maric at every oppurtunity.

Richmond is dead last for tackles per game while we are 9th funny enough. If we can pressure and tackle them enough we will give us a very good chance of winning this match. I'll be in Vegas when we play but 'ill be doing my hardest to find a place to watch the final. Go Blues!!!!

If Malthouse has learnt anything from our encounters this year we should lead from start to finish

The boys should realise how lucky they are to get this shot. Reverse our result for Brisbane's and three teams would've jumped us.

If Port had beaten us we would've finished 11th. Now we go in to a final with a 50/50 chance I reckon. Funny the way footy works.

3.20pm start!

This time yesterday I was ready to jump the fence. 24 hours later - flights and hotel are already booked, and just waiting on the ticket email to come through.

It's a bloody rollercoaster....

"They're [REDACTED]'

Early forecast:

Early odds have Richmond at $1.43, Carlton at $2.80.

Hope they shorten and all the pressure is on them

Early call. Curnow on Cotchin, Tuohy on Martin.

Like to see us go with Jamo on Reiwoldt, Waite on Vickery & McInnes on Edwards.

Wonder if MM will pull a big surprise?? Maybe Rowe in to take Vickery and Waite & Hendo up forward?

I hope I'm wrong but its hard to see McLean coming back from a Thigh Injury in 2 weeks. Hope it was very minor.

My Line Up:

B: Simpson Jamison McInnes
HB: Walker Rowe Tuohy

Foll: Kruezer/Warnock Gibbs Murphy
C: Scotland McLean/Ellard Yarran

HF: Menzel Waite Judd
F: Betts Henderson Casboult

Int: Garlett Curnow Bell (Duigan)

Can't split rucks but only want one.
If McLean inj Ellard plays

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil....... the Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Deledio off half back is a major driver for them.

That's what I reckon. We don't play well when he is in. We have won 2 games + yesterday with him in the 22. One against GWS and one against a concrete legged Richmond.

Stick with Kruezer and Warnock. Leave K and Waite forward and play Henderson as a CHB.
Id look at replacing Mcinnes as he looks cooked. Maybe give Bootsma a chance at redemption........or maybe not.

I don't like our chances. Tigers have been setting themselves mentally and physically for this game for the last month. We have been scrapping every week just trying to get the process right. Our best football comes when the process goes out the window.

Tigers easily.

Watch rich v dons and richmond play the port game you know they all get back into our fwd line we bomb it long turnover and they spread running it out to jack on the lead with space goal.Malthouse has to prevent this from happening.
