Preview: Greater Western Sydney v Richmond
James Dampney
afl.com.au
May 21, 2014
SATURDAY'S game pits two teams together that are coming off weeks they would both rather forget. Greater Western Sydney had to deal with the ongoing Toby Greene saga, with the young midfielder suspended and fined for an alcohol-fuelled incident. That followed shortly after the club's 111-point loss to West Coast, its fifth consecutive defeat. Somehow, Richmond is under even more heat after its 17-point loss to Melbourne. In the week the Tigers farewelled club legend Tom Hafey, that result left a team some had pegged for the top four mired in 16th place. Something has to give at Spotless Stadium.
WHERE AND WHEN: Spotless Stadium, Saturday, May 24, 1.40pm AEST
LAST TWO TIMES
R22, 2013, Richmond 25.13 (163) d GWS 6.6 (42) at Skoda Stadium
R12, 2012, Richmond 11.20 (86) d GWS 12.2 (74) at Skoda Stadium
THE SIX POINTS
1. A trip to Homebush Bay might be just what Richmond needs. The Tigers are unbeaten in two trips to GWS' home ground, including a 121-point romp in round 22 last year.
2. In that game last season, the Tigers had 106 more disposals than the Giants, 48 more marks, 26 more scoring shots and 16 more inside 50s.
3. Leather poisoning is not a problem for either of these sides. The Tigers are 11th in the averages for disposals this season and the Giants are 16th.
4. After an improved defensive start to the season, conceding an average of 91 points in the first five rounds, GWS has allowed its opposition an average of 151 points in its past three contests.
5. Richmond is well down on its offensive output from 2013. Last year it kicked 97 points per game. This year that number is just 80 going into round 10.
6. The skippers lead the way in the Official AFL Player Ratings, brought to you by Gatorade. GWS' Callan Ward is 41st overall, three spots ahead of Trent Cotchin.

Thanks for the timely reminder Chucky. Now I feel a whole lot better!

Lyon couldn't resist pumping up GWS at our expense but the sad thing is we'll most likely roll over anyway :P.
Vulnerable Tigers could give GWS Giants something to yap about

The Age
May 23, 2014 - 5:10PM
Greater Western Sydney took a significant step forward in its metamorphosis from a fledgling, start-up football team to a legitimate member of the AFL competition last week.
That the Giants' leadership group was prepared to impose a five-week suspension and $5000 penalty on Toby Greene after his late-night incident at a Caulfield pub was both appropriate and required.
It may not have sat well with his management group or the AFL Players Association but it was the sort of hard-lined precedent that needed to be set by a football club still in its infancy and predominantly made up of similar-aged youngsters grappling with the full-time requirements of a professional sporting organisation. Youngsters, too, who have forged a reputation for being verbally aggressive on the football field in a manner that has players from opposition clubs raising their collective eyebrows at their brash and cocky attitude.
Put simply, there are players in this side whose swagger does not match their output on game day. And while that, in itself, is not an enormous issue, given that it is consistent with a far more confident and self-assured youth of today, the honeymoon period for this group is rapidly coming to an end.
It is time for this football club to get its season, and its future back on track. Saturday's game against Richmond could be the most important in its short existence. And if the Giants are not viewing it that way, they should.
They are coming off one of the most insipid performances in their 52-game history. West Coast toyed with them at Subiaco two weeks ago, and did as it liked, handing out a 111-point belting. And it is not the fact that they copped a hiding that was most troubling, for we expect that to happen to them from time to time. It was the manner in which they succumbed so easily that was so damning on the group.
If you want to be aggressive with your voice, and get in the face of the opposition when the ball is dead,then it is incumbent on you to back up those words with a fierce and aggressive attack on the football, a committed and selfless attitude to tackling and applying pressure on the opposition when it has the ball, and to have the courage to run equally as hard defensively as you do when there is an opportunity to win possession or kick a goal.
After a promising start to the season, where the Giants beat Sydney in a round one upset of monumental proportions, and a win against Melbourne in round three, there has been decreasing evidence of that kind of football played. The rate of development of the players, if not stalled, is showing signs of slowing, at the very time their closest contemporaries, the Gold Coast Suns, are flying.
Granted they have been dealt a rough hand with injury, but this side must re-establish its resilience and fight in the face of adversity that was beginning to define it towards the end of last year, and early this year, regardless of the scoreboard.
In the past four weeks the Giants have conceded 91 goals against Adelaide, Gold Coast, Port Adelaide and West Coast. They have been far too easily scored against and it all came to a crashing thud against the Eagles a fortnight ago. That kind of uncompetitiveness has to stop
It looked like a group of kids having their first outing together, rather than the very best young talent assembled, into their third year of AFL football, accompanied by a couple of experienced heads brought in to provide leadership and to enforce structure and discipline.
One of those experienced heads, Heath Shaw, signed a very lucrative five-year deal to join the club from Collingwood. Now is the time for him to earn his money. Can he be the constructive, definitive leader that the club hopes he will be or does he simply kick chase off half-back and absolve himself of responsibility?
The bye may have come at the right time for the Giants, and I would be staggered if Leon Cameron didn't lay some uncomfortable truths at the feet of his playing group. It would have been spent revisiting what they want to stand for as a group, the non-negotiables of their style of play and, hopefully, a commitment to be more demanding of each other in their pursuit of improvement.
There is no doubt that Melbourne has been the most unsuccessful team of the past four years. What Paul Roos has been able to do is to identify the one, initial, area that he wanted to focus on. That they have become a far harder team to score against has enabled them to stay in contests longer, provided confidence among the group and enabled them to become a little bit more expansive as each week goes by.
The Giants need something similar to hang their hats on. They have avoided scrutiny and, for the most part, criticism because the expectations of a brand new club are reasonable and patient.
The patience will wear out quickly unless they decide to make a stand. The Toby Greene decision should be the starting point for a much higher standard of expectation from this group, on and off the field.
And Saturday's game provides GWS with the perfect opportunity to frank the tough off-field decision with an equally tough, uncompromising, unapologetic stance on the field.
The Giants confront vulnerable opponents who appear to be second-guessing themselves and are low on confidence, and even lower on form. Richmond's best two players, Trent Cotchin and Brett Deledio appear less than 100 per cent fit, its enforcer, Ivan Maric, is still a week away, its most consistent defender, David Astbury, is out for the year, and its best-performed youngster, Nick Vlaustin, is out with a finger injury.
At the same time, the Giants welcome back their three best players. Shane Mumford, a man who exerts enormous influence on his own team, and huge physical pressure on the opposition will cause enormous headaches for the Tigers' big men. The sublimely talented Jeremy Cameron will be a nightmare match-up for the defence and ball magnet Adam Treloar bolsters a midfield group that, if it is prepared to run both ways, matches up favourably with the opposition.
All of the talk this week has been on Richmond, and how disappointing its season has been. Jack Riewoldt threw even more fuel on an already fiercely burning fire at Punt Road when he referred to the fact that his team "went one way with our game, and the game went the other way''.
The comments thrust an under-siege Damien Hardwick, and his "Hawthorn-like game plan" even further under the spotlight and placed Riewoldt's spot in the senior side in jeopardy.
It was the last thing the Tigers needed, but it should be jumped upon by Cameron as he prepares his group for this game.
The Giants must become more ruthless as an outfit. No longer can they exist on pure potential and prodigious talent. The Tigers are ripe for the picking. The Giants are rested and should be falling over themselves to eradicate the embarrassment of the West Coast performance.
They are in front of their home crowd. Their coaching group has had two weeks to work on their minds and freshen their bodies. Captain Callum Ward stood in front of the press last week and justified the strong stance they took on one of their most talented young footballers.
They need to start winning back respect. Then they may have something to yap about.

ON NOTICE
Herald-Sun
May 23, 2014
How many times have we mentioned Richmond in this section this year?
Tiger fans thought they were past this kind of thing but there it was on the back pages all week — the time-honoured photo of Richmond players trudging off the ground after a demoralising defeat.
If the death of Tom Hafey couldn’t get them up it’s hard to know what will, but the Tigers simply must beat GWS.
There are issues all over the field but it starts at the clearances where Trent Cotchin badly needs some help. Matt Thomas will give 110 per cent but a big clearance game from a Brandon Ellis or Shane Edwards would go a long way to getting Richmond off the back page.
A bag of goals from Jack Riewoldt would be timely, too.

The only interest in this match is how many will Jack kick.
Jack needs 3 more to match the Tiger record of Strang's 14 in 1931 vs North.
-
New threads will be down this week
-
Good thing is they're not looking for him too much. If someone else has a chance they're having a shot.
-
Jack 11.0-66
GWS 3.9-27
:lol
-
The other interest in this game is to see who will be our second key forward. Jack could kick 20 but it wont show us much about the rest of the team. Griff has 2 (should be 3) & Vickery has 2 (owes one to Conca). Griff looks more likely right now. :gotigers

KB has liked Dea's game across half-back.

No the realists will just leave it to the deluded brightsiders to pretend we're back in town be cause beat up a bunch of dispirited & demoralised kids.
-
Gee , with the orange in their jumpers the GWS did look like witches hats today.
-
It seemed like we got smashed from the centre clearances, but the Giants didn't make the most of their advantage.
Jack looked to be limping after the game - may have been leather poisoning.
-
Snip! This is a footy thread ppl. Stick to the topic! ::)
-
We still butcher possession way too much, worst offenders today were Lids and Cotch, wish Cotch would eradicate these dinky little 5 metre passes, they are totally ineffective and can't believe the coaches wouldn't tell him that.
-
Snip! This is a footy thread ppl. Stick to the topic! ::)
Well done Tigers.
Maybe the darksiders will shut the stuff up for a bit.

Yes .i am fine
Thanks for asking ;)

what do we take from this. imo not a lot.
i dont want to be a kill joy but this is what we have done beat up on the strugglers and fold when real pressure is applied.
the game was played the way we love it, bruise free.
i suppose all you can do is win against what the opposition serves up so in that regard good on em .
a staggering stat after the game was gws have had an average of 150 points kicked against them in the last 5 weeks how the hell you take anything out of games like this is beyond me.

All good but a loss would have really said something.

We won a game in a competition. Angst and woe.
-
That was a competition?
-
Pretty handy win that , answered the critics and a few beat ups about trouble at
Punt rd and boy gws fancied themselves, was clinical in the end and a great warm up for a couple of tough games ahead. Few sides will be sitting up and taking notice of that :shh
-
Matt Dea was a good inclusion and played a serviceable game today...hope they stick with him.

Yep
Glad we won but that's due to being ridiculed from friends last week so a win will shut them up
That being said I agree with you 100%.
Let's see if we beat bombers and more importantly nought before we start saying we have turned the corner

Of course you will! Im not like you who disappears for weeks on end after having to witness one humiliating defeat after the other - only to pop up when the team beats a team like GWS lol. Your a funny guy HRT. :lol
By the way hope you feel excited after todays win? I will just wait and see how many games the side wins over the next 4 weeks ;D

Pathetic team and club.
I was serious about the last thing the club needing thios weekend was a win.

We just dunno how to truly bury a side yet, should of been 250 points
Can't play 4 full qtrs of footy
-
Stay tuned :shh
-
Needed a confidence boost. I'll take it in any form.
Need to beat the Bombers next week and get on any run any and pinch a win against Freo or swans at home.
Jack was right. We went back to proper football not the rubbish slow possession rubbish that has cost us games and has put fans to sleep.
Good win now go on.

Needed a respite from your multitude of new threads that's for sure

New threads will be down this week
I wonder if we will hear from Factstar this week?
Of course you will! Im not like you who disappears for weeks on end after having to witness one humiliating defeat after the other - only to pop up when the team beats a team like GWS lol. Your a funny guy HRT. :lol
By the way hope you feel excited after todays win? I will just wait and see how many games the side wins over the next 4 weeks ;D
There hasn't been too much I've vehemently disagreed with over the past few weeks - the sentiment has been fair although the language has been that of a woman with massive PMT.
I think winning by 100 points is good - you can't do much more than that. In and of itself yes I enjoyed it but then again I barrack for the club to enjoy their victories not to gloat or whinge their clear issues and losses. ;D
Now next week is a different matter and a different challenge as are the next few weeks.
One thing I will promise you is this.
Even if we win our next 4 games on end and land in the 8 there will be a number of posters who will disappear or continue to complain.

I want Dylan Shiels, tigers make it happen :clapping

Me too. Can play.
Wouldn't it be nice to get a kid like this as well as keep our first pick.
Swap our second pick and Ellis and I would be a happy man.
-
Like MT said; it was like landing in some bizzarro world parallel universe where Grigg laid a tackle, Hampson plucked some marks, Vickery had an impact, and the Tigers moved the ball quick and direct and actually kicked straight :thumbsup. Hope to see more of it in the coming weeks....
-
Enjoyed the fact that Jack had a day out. Stuck it to a few people
-
WGAF
:lol

Morris goes good forward. Reckomnhed be a good tagger superior to grigg. Strange to see forward pressure.
Lennon is a smooth cat. Can see why he was a top 10 talked about pick
We won a game in a competition. Angst and woe.
lol your oiver the moon with that eh. no angst or woe bud just a realistic question, what the hell do we take from that. you can read into it what you want, you probably think we are finals bound me i wont be reading anything into it except gws are putrid atm.
have to laugh griffiths and vickery did little even when its all on there terms s edwards is still s edwards and not lot changed with plenty others as well.
jack kicked 11 on hampton and heath shaw reckon i would have kicked 5.
a legit question i thought what the hell do we take from this. 4 points a chunk of % and little else.
Agree with Claw here. The big test is how well they perform over the next 4 weeks.
Live in the moment and enjoy it for a change. Think about next week next week.
Hope they don't make u list manager

Yeah Lennon has a touch of class - looks a fair bit off the pace as in the afl tempo is still too quick for him, but the fact he can still be silky in those circumstance usually indicates the class of the individual.
-
Werent our first 2 goals from lennon pin point passes?...Not a bad days work from the kid I reckon

Correct. He actually got the ball rolling our way! :clapping :clapping :clapping

Good Win by the lads, alot to take out of that game. Hampson l was very impressed with all over the ground & doing things l ain't seen ruckmen do for many years down at Tigerland. Dusty was excellent with his 2nd 3rd & 4th atempts at the contest. Conca everywhere. Lennon good foot skills & still learning, l think will do better against the stronger sides. Some players with alot of possies like Deledio & Ellis who could do better. Rewoldt just a smartass but not very smart when he could have put himself into the record books ;D lazy 11 goals dont win me over but he took some nice marks & presented himself. Foot up the backside helps. Vickery done very well in the Ruck & played a fair game. Rance game was excellent. but the best part was the amount of cuts & bruising l hear that come out of the game from the GWS. Take that type of game onto the arena next week against the druggie Bombers & you might start winning me over again. :gotigers a team effort
-
Great post TM :thumbsup
-
Sure we looked like world beaters against an ordinary team but that's a good start given we've been beaten by some ordinary sides this year.
The key is now back it up week, upon week, upon week against every team.
Until the side finds that consistency we won't go anywhere..

Yeah he does look classy. Wasn't a rap for him being drafted but appears harder at it than I thought he would be and is a one touch player and a magnificent kick. 16 possessions in his second game and at least three score involvements. Very good by the kid.
-
Why did you not want him drafted @ 12?
Soft?

I thought he was soft. Really wanted Salem but the Dees got in first.

All clear from the MRP as far as the Tiges go.
Jeremy Cameron copped a reprimand & a fine for striking Grimesy.

MRP is a joke, if it was a Richmond player up on any of them charges they would have suspended them. 1 rule for our club & 1 rule for the rest. The Bombers will all get fines next :banghead Ablett should have gone, as it was delibrate

Not quite. Still got pinged. Good record and the fact itvwas changed to reckless brought points down to under one hundred so he avoided time out. Still has carry over points which could haunt him in the future. Ablett doesn't carry over anything.
