RICHMOND
INJURED:
Nick Westhoff (hamstring) test
Kel Moore (hip) season
Dylan Grimes (hamstring) season
David Astbury (dislocated kneecap) TBA
Tom Derickx (ankle fracture) TBA
ON THE BLOCK: Take your pick.
ON THE CUSP: Mitch Morton and Brad Miller.
MICK WARNER’S FORECAST: Geelong at the Cattery followed by West Coast at Subiaco = start booking your September holidays. Morton should return this week after two solid hit outs in the VFL. Miller could also come back after a five-goal haul at Coburg.

Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but we're going to get butt-raped at Etihad right, because I think this is probably the 5th or 6th time i've read that we're playing at Skilled Stadium!!??

ON THE BLOCK: Take your pick.
:lol
you're right, according to the AFL website it is at docklands wayne.

QUESTION MARKS
Can the Cats recapture their form? Geelong has been a little off the boil in recent weeks but that can be attributed to an understandable lull after such a dominant first 14 weeks. A vulnerable Richmond provides the Cats with a perfect springboard from which to launch into the final phase of the season.
Are the Tigers done for the year? They had a brief surge of form mid-season before three consecutive interstate trips and a bye brought their run to an end. The Tigers have struggled to show much in recent weeks but they do have it in them for another run before the season is out. You can be guaranteed that coach Damien Hardwick won't be accepting the season is gone.
PREDICTION
Geelong by 48 points
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=118920
-
The boys have a bye the week after
There is no reason why we shouldnt have a huge crack at this
And yes Its at Etihad, I dont know why the media keeps reffering to SS??
-
Definitely at Etihad
Early game at 1.00pm
-
Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but we're going to get butt-raped at Etihad right, because I think this is probably the 5th or 6th time i've read that we're playing at Skilled Stadium!!??
Hopefully the other mob show up to Skilled and then find out that the game is at Etihad so that they get there at half time. We might be in with a chance of winning if that happens :)
-
Both grounds bad for us when playing Geelong. In theory we should come out breathing fire but in reality the ways things are going I wouldn't expect too much except for a thumping. I hope I am dreadfully wrong.
-
the lads should all wear butt plugs for a few hours before the game to prepare for right royal rogering they are about receive. :help
-
God, its getting that bad with our team that I just don't look forward to any game anymore let alone facing the Cats.
-
I actually think the Cats are gettable... but not by us.
If we had a bit more confidence about us, i'd say we were a slight chance, the Cats seem to have dropped off a little, but the way we've played the last few weeks we're no chance.

Pretty spot on. Play Morton on the ball for the rest of the year. Played his best footy there last year.

Agree, lets see how he goes in the midfield. :thumbsup
-
I'd bring in ORLY or Jakobi instead of Webberley. Seen enough.
-
Not really fussed about the score board as long as we put in a bloody effort for at least half of the game.
I normally would want to see a 4 quarter effort but at the moment and given last weekend I'm just not sure the team is up for it.
Loved to be proven wrong.
-
Bring in O'Reilly.
-
I'd bring in ORLY or Jakobi instead of Webberley. Seen enough.
I like webberley. Has played a couple of games and only been on for the last 1/4 but looked good with his skill and composure. Must be played 8)
-
Agree with Madtiger, a lot are not into him coz he isnt built like Conan. I would like to see O'Reilly out there again, he showed a ton of courage last year and surprised the hell out of me at how well he had taken to the game.
-
Peeps are into him cuz he aint getting a kick for Richmond. Does use it well but wins no hard ball and goes missing
-
I'd bring in ORLY or Jakobi instead of Webberley. Seen enough.
I like webberley
Yep , handy VFL player. That's it
-
INS = Tank :shh
-
Yeah true he doesn't win enough of his own pill yet, something he has to bring to the table

There is no way that we would be any more than 1 pt in front because after missing the shot and scoring a point we would be standing around waiting for their full back to kick the ball out into play. ::)
-

Needs another week or 2 in the ressies for some more fitness, hasn't played enough footy yet this year for a senior call-up. But I hope he gets it sooner rather than later as I agree with Owl and MT2010 - I liked the little bit I saw last season.
-
Can see this being one of those games where we don't go as badly as expected, but we still lose by about 50 points. Either that or Geelong will play themselves back into form and completely blow us to smithereens.
-
Sportal are saying name your margin :P.
WE THINK: By their own high standards Geelong's recent form - two losses followed by an unconvincing win over the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday - is poor. But it's gleaming compared to the dross the Tigers have been dealing up. Richmond's six defeats from their past seven outings include doozies to Carlton by 103 points, Essendon - when the Tigers conceded the last 10 goals of the contest - and the lowly Suns in Cairns.
Damien Hardwick faces mission impossible to get his demoralised players up after they were cooked to a crisp in the tropics last Saturday. Fresher for some 'me time' at Surfers Paradise, the Cats are pacing themselves in their relentless advance to a top-two finish. This could be ugly.
Name your own margin. It's Geelong by plenty.

When I am positive we are going to get thumped, we turn up and play. When I think we should crap it in, we get rocked. So we might give it a burl if my voodoo holds true because I reckon we are going to get thumped. Make sense? Doesn't to me and I wrote it..

wasnt going to go, but have to go.
will be one of the few tiger supporters going, although if they dish up the holding onto the ball and going sideways rubbish, I will have my bag of donuts from the outisde van before half time
-
What is sad is that we havnt beaten the cats since round 9, 2006 (insert shaking head smilie here)

Richo and Danny Daly preview the Geelong game:

-
Lade just on 3aw said today is about tackling and pressure. We also plan to make Scarlett accountable to a man and limit Harry Taylor's ability to take so many marks in our defensive 50.
Lade believes we have improved this year because last year we copped many floggings while this year we've been competitive in most games apart from a couple of blowouts. Defensively we have improved while we need to get back to how we were playing offensively in the first half of the season.
He was asked a loaded question about whether as a coach would he prefer to play in Melbourne rather than Darwin. Lade said right while the side is developing it's about building up our resources but in 2-3 years time when we are a good side he'd expect that situation to change.
-
First turnover in first 2 mins :P. Thankfully it doesn't cost us a goal.
Martin playing up forward alongside Jack and Vickery.

Disgraceful efforts by Jackson and Morton
Jackson I know we have been on his back the last few weeks but he has been just terrible.
Rance has been good for us. Poor kid will have the ball there for most of the day.

Another Jako holding the ball in defensive 50. :help
Goal to Byrnes
5-3-33

it begins again
-
Forgetting his footy, Edwards needs to tidy up his appearance.
It's a stuffing disgrace.
-
Good run by Nahas along the wing and gets it to Edwards inside 50. Poor kick and misses :scream
Geelong 3 kicks from goal to goal line and goal
9 - 39
We take 10 possies to get it out of defence if we don't turn it over while Geelong take1 or 2 ::).
-
Forgetting his footy, Edwards needs to tidy up his appearance.
It's a effing disgrace.
I know man. He looks ridiculous.
Pathetic.
-

Not up to AFL level. Neither is King.
-
No answer,
Turning over the ball with foot and hand...
We're working hard just have rubbish cattle.
-
Ugh.....
Well, it's disappointing already but am I really that surprised?
No.
-
Breaks your heart, Lids and Rance working their asses off being rained with Inside 50s by Geelong.
Why is Jackson playing outside? If he's not inside in the packs I'd have Webberley from the 2's or Contin playing outside.
-
:(
-

That pretty much sums it up. This will be a 100 point loss. Geelong know we are easy prey and are working themselves back into top form.
9 - 52
-
This is actually boring.
Feel for Lids, working hard and surrounded by plebs.
Wont blame him if he leaves the club.

West goals

Some may ask why is Jacko playing at all ;).
Can we forfeit at half-time?! :P
9 - 64
On record pace for least inside 50s in a half in history ::)
-
Who ever is playing on Varcoe is making him look good.
Eff me.
-
Hahahaha another Edwards 5 metre kick to the opposition in defensive 50. :help
Geelong goal.
9-64.
That pretty much sums Edwards up as a player.
-
enough enough throwin the towel ffs - this is apollo creed in rocky IV.
Fair dinkum how much more of White, Edwards and Jackson do we have to see??? ::) ::) ::) - week in week out the same poo unforced errors over and over and over again FFS
Get something out of this game let Lids go head to head with Chappy or Selwood, so too Cotch and martin. So bloody sick of watching the same errors every single week and seeing the team obviously not learn a thing from it.

Unfortunantely we can't OE.
However we can trade or delist some if not most of the blokes out there.

Time to put 18 in their forward 60.

I hear you patrioti. :thumbsup
We are going to lose by 100+ so why not learn something and get something out of it rather than hear the same old same old same old rhetoric from the club and see the same old that is currently failing abysmally with some of the players out there well out of their depth at this level.
-
Sorry Im tuning off the game until its conclusion
-

Half-time mercy siren
Richmond 1.2 1.4-10
Geelong 4.2 11.5-71
Goal: Riewoldt
-
Send Jackson and Edwards to Geelong's goal square, each can wobble a goal post. At least we can get that out of them.
Or maybe not. They might stuff that up too. ???

They'd probably kick those to the opposition too!
-
So if he does drop Jackson and Edwards who's going to replace them? We don't have enough depth.
-
71-10 half time.
Losing Newman early merely cracked the dam wall earlier than normal.
Don't want to hear from anyone we lost our leader early and we struggled after that.
The tone was set early on.
We are so below par its disgraceful.
Since Dreamtime we are the worst performed team in the competition.
Glad I am at home eating my chocolate royals with my coffee with my 7 month old.
-
So if he does drop Jackson and Edwards who's going to replace them? We don't have enough depth.
Anyone, find others on the list there are 42 on there. I'll jump the fence and pull on the jumper. If not play with 20.
These guys are shocking, may not be responsible for the poo we are in as a club but they are inept as footballers.
-
So if he does drop Jackson and Edwards who's going to replace them? We don't have enough depth.
I don't care
Webberly is better than Jackson
Pat Contin, Jakobi should debut.
Edwards are Jackson are finished.
-
So if he does drop Jackson and Edwards who's going to replace them? We don't have enough depth.
We know the thinking Herpe and the itch are crap.
At least by playing a couple of kids we would get to find out if they are potentially better
-
14 inside 50's to half time.
Geelong had 20 to quarter time. :help
Ena bourthelo imaste.
-
at this point anything under 100points will be a good result, sheesh we've slipped
-
If it makes anyone feel any better, Hawthorn are tracking to smash Melbourne by even more....
-

Lack of depth is killing us. Or lack of making changes when necessary.
Too many players whose worst is so far way from their average performances.
-
If it makes anyone feel any better, Hawthorn are tracking to smash Melbourne by even more....
Geelong will still win by more and we have no right in the plight we have been in for the last 30 years to laugh at others misfortune.
-
nOT SURE THIS is real or if im having a bad dream.
Tuck has had 20 odd hasnt he? go cotch
-
SEN's Bottom 5
Edwards
Vickery
King
Jack
Griffiths
Practically our forward line.
-
If they had a bottom 10 the next 5 would be Richmond players also.
Hawkins goals 77-10.
-
If it makes anyone feel any better, Hawthorn are tracking to smash Melbourne by even more....
Correction, 'were' Tracking.
stuff it, there's just NO upside I can find... >:(
-
I love the signs from Griff.
-
Tuck is the floater in defense........
-
Time to get games into Oreilly, Dea, Contin, jakobi asap.
We know what Jacko/edwards/white/hislop offer and its not good enough - play the untried.
Its comedy gold today - I genuinely have no anger watching this - just tired man, tired of seeing this club go around in circles same ol same ol
-
Tuck has had 20 odd hasnt he? go cotch
Tuck 20 ...... 14 handballs though

Great Post,
I'm the same, no emotion more annoyed Hawks v Dees isn't on live so I could watch that instead.
Good start to the 2nd half, what will annoy me is the "Well we won the 2nd half" - It's meaningless when the opposition are going at 30%.
-
Get some momentum boy's and just win this quarter that's all I'm asking :pray
-
Woohoo!
How good is life! We can still make the 8! :gotigers
-
Lids' footskills have been off today.
-
Nahas tries hard. Pity he's poo.
-
Not blaming the umps as we are hopeless but you've got to love how umpires favour top sides.
-
Woohoo!
How good is life! We can still make the 8! :gotigers
Yep need to win the third quarter. Percentage will be important. :lol :rollin :lol
-
Can we start delisting now? Make a bit of a statement?
-
Jack hits TV who lead 2-3 times. OOTF :P
-
Not blaming the umps as we are hopeless but you've got to love how umpires favour top sides.
Vickery was the first bloke to be called for holding the ball with his cock.
-
Can we start delisting now? Make a bit of a statement?
We can play with 20 every week. Circa 1986. Same results.
-
Can we start delisting now? Make a bit of a statement?
Nah need to promote Edwards and Jackson as star players so we can trade them ;)
-
Conca nice kick for goal but it's touched on the line.

Morton has been absolutely ineffectual today.

Well done tigers, glad you didn't just back down and go into your hole, like you did against Carlton. We won that quarter. :gotigers

Doesn't look like he has been hampered by anything today other than the lack of delivery into the forward line.

3/4 time
Richmond 1.2 1.4 5.5-35
Geelong 4.2 11.5 16.9-105

Jack great defensive work and wins the free :clapping. Goal :gotigers

That should have been a second shot on goal. Scarlett belted the ball away after Jack kicked it.
McGuane got done for it once at Kardinia Park.

Nice to win a quarter but abit hollow I think b/c the Cats would be going at less than 50% with September only five or so weeks away.

Lids let himself down with some of his disposal early in the game.
-
Woo hoo wallpaper over the cracks.
:lol
-
Thursfield was ok today..
Jackson/Edwards/White embarrassing. :sleep
-
Lids let himself down with some of his disposal early in the game.
Yes he did.
Couple of times Houli was running out of defence and no1 gave an option.
Our disposal is bad. But it is multiplied by having no options to kick too.
-
At least we did not lose by 100. Thought we were going to in the second

Thats the biggest problem. When there are options even bad kicks of the ball can look ok, no options and elite users of the ball can look poor

Jako talking to the team after the game as they congregated into a huddle before they walk off the ground.
Can't fathom what he would say but if that is the type of leadership post match Dimma sees in Jako and therefore
selects him every week then I cannot fathom anything.
-
Narrowly happy with final result

"Guys, let's face it, I'm poo and I won't get another game at the club. May as well retire immediately. Any chance of getting chaired off the ground? Guys? Guys?"

Honestly Dubstep I was thinking of writing something along those lines. If only it was true but we need to trade him for an apple danish and a latte.

seriously what must some of his team mates be thinking? How can you take a msg seriously from a player(s) that week in week out commit stupid, dumb unforced errors. You'd be thinking STFU u poo can

If we got half a urine cake and a warm cup of drip tray, we'd be doing well

It's sad TM. He is doing well for himself outside footy but as a footballer he is just skata.

And just think if we traded him 2 or 3 years ago when I said so he would've been worth something.

You said nothing of the sort Mr.
-
And to prove it wasn't a fluke I'd trade Rance this year as well.
Will never have more currency and will be a worse player in 2 years.

And who do you suggest plays at Full Back and Centre Half Back next year?
-
Grimes, Astbury, Thursfield, Post, Trengove

Have you entered the TBR zone again?
-
Grimes, Astbury, Thursfield, Post, Trengove
Grimes ripped the hamstring off the bone and is no sure thing although we hope he comes through
Thursfield shouldnt be on the list
Post is ordinary and nowhere compared to Rance as a defender at this stage of the proceedings
Astbury is more CHB than FB but has a long way to go.
Trengove isnt even at Richmond and we'd better off without him as his kicking is ordinary.
Rance has to stay and form a partnership with Grimes hopefully with Astbury providing some support.

I reckon Thursty has been ok, but mark my words as the best judge of footy on this site, Rance has peaked.

Maybe but right now hes our best KPD by the length of the Flemington straight.
-
Which is why we should trade him. When limited players reach a peak then you should cash them in.
It's the list management version of supercoach trading.

Rance will stay. Also has the opportunity to improve further with better players around him in future. Also should be in the leadership group.
-
on what basis can you say rance has peaked?
-

lol
name your price big richo i'll bite. Going from where Rance is today and where he came from just last season as an almost deadset certainty to delist, I'd say he's nowhere near peaked.
-
Because he is an average player with limitations that is playing well based on attitude, commitment and courage.
History would show that is not sustainable.

this time last year i would have agreed 100% with you richo.
this year he has improved markedly in the field of decision making and disposal. I no longer have my heart in my mouth when he has the ball like i do with mcguane edwards and jackson

Got a few more strings to his bow. Good closing speed, is built like a big KPP should be, has improved his judgement of the ball in flight incredibly, has improved his body on body work incredibly (was always played as an attacking backman which with his limited skills was a recipe for disaster and his decision making has gone through the roof.
He was taught to play a new role late (thankyou dimma!) and has shown a very quick turnaround. Now he is clearly learning the finer points like when to go and when to stay, what side of the fwd to play on as play unfolds up the ground. Shown he is a quick learner, has no fear almost stupid courage and when you add what u said about commitment and attitude i thought thats about what you want from your KPD? ???

Being 8 hours behind my great country I had a sleep in this morning and when I get up I go straight for the iPad to check the scores......why do I want to go back to bed... :lol

Sat right behind the bench today, they are more sooky and confused than angry and pi55ed.
Gotta get angry boys.
Wev'e lost it big time and need to just steady the ship which we did in the 2nd half.
Need to get a bit of anger back and mark our territory when we play the Swans in a few weeks, leave it all on the park that day, so to say!
Then coast to the finish line, just show something for one game! As a coach I would get them up as much as possible for that one 1/2 no doz before the game each.

and they're confused because they feel the coach's game plan is not working and cant understand why he wont change tactics.Tactics they know would be more effective

Thought Richo & Wallace / Co were back today ;D Midfielders kick it into the forward line to Rewoldt with 4 Geelong players defending him :rollin
3 Richmond players were all alone in a bunch, great football that right there, It was the only stuffin 5 minutes of the game l watched & turned it off cause it was pathetic. All them forward in a bunch & the mids kick it to the covered player. l'm over that poo years ago.
News highlights showed Rewoldt trying to jump over Vickery WTF give that idiot a rest.
Tuck proved he is a AFL footballer once again well done Tucky, Richmond rewarded a player with good form. who is on the powder down there :lol
thats my 5 minutes for the week & thats all Richmond are worth :gotigers

Gee I don't know
But isn't it interesting that the 2 teams currently sitting on top of the ladder do it all the time. Switching play from one fkank to the other I mean ;D
-
yeah, but we switch with short kicks and very slow transition, BIG DIFFERENCE

Really :gobdrop :gobdrop
But as usual you are missing my point - I answered the question as to WHY we do it not whether we are any good at it.
BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!
;D
-
you have missed my point :gobdrop
we did it succesfully for first part of the season, long kicks laterally , quick transition
since round 10-11 we have changed the game plan, :banghead

No I dont' think the game plan has changed one iota
Our players are not (for whatever reason) not executing it
Also the other thing is wheni t was working Houli was the main go to guy for the long kick, he is leterally being tagged now as to not get much freedom, hence why he aint kickingi t as long because the majority of his kicks are coming uder pressure where as 9 weeks ago he had all the time in the world

Does this highlight the fact that we appear to have plan A but thats it, no B, C or D?

On the surface the answer would appear to be yes but who knows ???
Seriously, earlier in the season when we were winning there games where we tried to "slow the play to run down the clock" and our players couldn't or struggled to execute it.
So I question if it is in fact a lack of plan B, C or D or the players are either either not smart enough or mentally tough enough to adapt when things turn to "doggie dos"....

Good players with skill can execute a game plan.
Good players with skill can also adopt a new game plan based on a game situation and adhere to it.
Good players with a good psyche can also play regardless of the game situation.
Lamentably some of the players we have running around are neither good nor skillful.
Lamentably for the most part our so called players on the list recruited in the Wallace era who are still at the club are the culprits in these areas of deficiency.
How can we therefore expect a team deficient in skill ability and psyche to carry out a game plan lets call it Plan A and then expect them to carry out a Plan B,C or D?

The amount of times a player that wasn't under pressure that could just run straight out of the defensive 50 but instead handballing it to another person that had geelong players all around him was so annoying. We have to many dumb footballers.

Players do what they are instructed to do. They are instructed at this stage of the season to bottom out. Thats plan B of the game plan :santa

l know what your saying, l beleive the club is going in the right direction with coaching & development of the players. Need KP defenders before things start falling into place. We are 3 years away from being a quality side & we need a stand alone Richmond side in the VFL to maintain development & a strong core of players required to play at the highest level. Hang in there lad cause the team will bottom out this year to gain rewards in the drafts.
