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!!??

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Title: Re: Richmond vs Geelong game thread
Post by: one-eyed on July 21, 2011, 04:10:05 AM
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.

Title: Lade on 3aw @ 12.30pm
Post by: one-eyed on July 24, 2011, 12:51:45 PM
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.

These guys are shocking, may not be responsible for the poo we are in as a club but they are inept as footballers.

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%.

And who do you suggest plays at Full Back and Centre Half Back next year?

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.

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.

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?  ???

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

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

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?

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.
