Richmond remind me of us in 2011. They are a legitimate finals team, but definitely not a legitimate premiership threat. I see them making fairly light work of us (if ever a team was 'making up the numbers' it has to be us, taking into account the situation with Essendon*** etc) and then an honourable loss in the semi, followed by a summer of hype, then they get ahead of themselves and (hopefully) don't make the 8 next year...

Tigers by at least 5 goals. Carlton to be a much better side next year....


Yeah, yeah.
You've been talking us down all year. God forbid we'll win a final or 2 hey?
How disappointing. Go back to sucking lemons.


See I take that post a different way BV. Frankly I'm thankful that so far I haven't been reading a whole lot of "we're going to kill them by ++ goals" type posts here, (like I did before the Essendon* game. :sad: ).

A bit of caution ... not so bad.

Cant go into a game like this with 2 forwards who will give u unknown output.
Id go Hendo and Waite up forward.
Henderson you know what youll get... Waite will feed of that.. the crumbers will feed of that... and a couple of goals to Menzel in the chaos.

Kreuzer should go back on Vickery.. we lose in rebound .. but Special K was our number 1 tackler last week.. you know he will defend hard .. blovk holes and do the right thi gs back there...
Plus feed out to the runners... and there are enough sweeping.

Thats the structure id go into this game with... normally no way...!!!... but Richmond are pussies and im bringing in Lucas as the super sub for Casboult
He should be able to sneak around behind them in the last when everyone is tired.. and also provide some link up on a big ground.

Blues by 30 as long as Mick sticks to what im saying..... and no judd...!!!


Give us your line up.

I'm guessing to start you off.....

Out Casboult
In Lucas

B: McInnes Jamison Tuohy
HB:Walker Kreuzer Simpson
C: Armfield Gibbs Scotland
R: Warnock Murphy Curnow
HF: Betts Waite Garlett
F: Hendo Menzel Ellard

I: Bell Xyz Xyz

S: Lucas

E: judd Casboult


assume Scotland makes the cut having an extra week and McLean doesn't

No question I would pick Judd at 85% fitness...it's a Final... against Tigers.

This is our Grand Final....hopefully our Prelim.

The shitty part about being so negative is that one can actually forget to enjoy the game.
Comes a time you have to ask yourself: What For? Is all I want a flag and anything short is a failure?
There are better hobbies around than to just suck lemons, savage on the club for the losses and take the victories as some sort of right. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me.

I'm confident we can win this and win it well should we attack the player and ball like there's no tomorrow.
Our speed should scare these guys and if we bring along the same aggression as for the last quarter of the Port game, you can put your glasses down.
If not...........well, we know the story. You'd just want it to be a far more aggressive off-season than for the last 2 we have had. It has to be regardless.


Have you all been watching the same team I have this year that won 11 games or are we talking about some other team. For half against Port we were terrible? Put our form in perspective and you will see the tigers should be favorites. That said, carn the blues!

when u have it over the opposition mentally like we have over richmond.. teams must learn not to let them off the hook.. no matter where they are on the ladder.

Geelong >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hawthorn

whether we win or lose this week... its not about chris judd.. its about whats going on between the ears of the two sides.

get stuck into them lads!!!...youre wearing that navy blue!!!..the tigers are your pussy!!!... get in there!!!

Sounds a bit 1972 Grand Final to me, all out attack, Waite 7, Henderson 6, Menzel 6.

:wink:

I cant believe Synbad of all people is calling for Lucas as an inclusion.

I'm shocked to be sitting here.

Cant get Kreuzer on Vickory out of my head.

Lucas as super sub

There's no coach would in the AFL who would not pick Judd.
That's why I just cant picture it unless he's less than 90%
Judd....now there's a super sub who knows what to do...except defend.
Doesnt matter if he's got the ball in his hands and running off.

Kreuzer on Vickory....means Warnock on Maric

Waite and Hendo forward....


I like what Casboult brings to the table....marking...and around HF-wing he's a great linkman.
Also like what Duigan brings too. I always expected him as a must in a Final.

Bell Duigan real tough nuts....we have to be tough.

I like the idea of Lucas as a sub...comes on mid 3/4 and runs like hell.

I'll leave it to the MC.
This is the one we really want to win.
Over to you MM.

Could be Duigan's last game, might be worthwhile showing him some excerpts of the 1973 Grand Final.

:wink:

Duigan and Bell are perfect also.....

Taking McKay at face value on today's injury update, don't think any of Judd, McLean or Scotland will play.

Fair enough too. If they're not right, don't play them.
Can't afford to take injured players into a Final and risk them breaking down in the 1st qtr.

Oh God. Please don't play Lucas. We play better without him.


I wouldn't be bringing McLean back either. And that's not just because I don't like him (credit where credit is due...... he has been pretty handy this year). I just don't think it's worth the risk to bring him back early and then have him break down again.

Judd is really the only change I would make.


P.S> Really excited to see how Bell performs in a final. I have high hopes.
