Tickets for Saturday’s twilight clash at Norm Minns Oval could be sold out by today, with a limited number remaining after a major spike in sales over the weekend.
Ticketmaster has sold out of its allotment, meaning tickets are now only available through the Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre.
More than 80 per cent of the 11,000 tickets have been snapped up.
Collingwood and Richmond arrive in the North East on Friday and are expected to participate in a signing session across the road at W.J. Findlay Oval on Friday night.
The Tigers will train at Norm Minns Oval beforehand.
Gates open at 2.30pm on Saturday, with the match starting at 4.40pm.
The clash will be broadcast on Foxtel.

Isn't our season already over? :huh

Isn't our season already over? :huh
According to most of the biggest Tiger supporters on here, apparently it is......

Isn't our season already over? :huh
We're just playing for pride in these last 30 weeks of the season.

Must win game
Any win under 15 goals will mean the rebuild is a failure
-
With it being our 2nd last hit out before the season starts would hope we'd play as close to our round 1 side as possible

Agree and an overall lift on intensity across the board would also be beneficial.
-
A lift in intensity from the last pathetic effort would be good.
But to go in with a full complement of interchange players this time would be a start. I can't understand what they were experimenting with last time when they apparently went in two players down. If the "experiment" was to look slow, sluggish and second to the ball all night long, then it was a stunning success.

Take your pills Rolls, it's a long season and we need you raging profanities and bursting neck veins on the TV in the second half of the year buddy

Last time I checked we won't be allowed to use 6 bench players against GC. May as well get players used to running out whole games under proper conditions.

Yeh in fairness to him the weather probably halved his possession output. But probably added a few HO's due to the increased stoppages. :shh

So that's ...
IN: Petterd, Knights, Thomas, King, Conca, McDonough, Gordon, Arnot
OUT: Newman (knee), Lennon, Stephenson, McIntosh, McBean
--------------------------------------------------------------
Richmond has named an otherwise strong squad, including young midfielder Reece Conca, who has spent much of the pre-season in rehabilitation following hamstring surgery. Chris Knights, who missed the majority of 2013 with a serious knee injury, could also play his first game since round seven, 2013.
Mature-age recruit Nathan Gordon has also been selected to play his first game for the club.
Dylan Grimes (hamstring), Daniel Jackson (groin), Ivan Maric (ankle) and Chris Newman (knee) are all recovering from injury ahead of the club's round one clash against the Suns.
Star Tigers forward Jack Riewoldt will miss again with quad tightness as he prepares for the club's round one clash against Gold Coast on March 15.
Notable omissions for the Magpies were Nick Maxwell, Jarryd Blair and Dayne Beams.

3 taller players out for smalls..good move

Woah!

BRING ON THE BISCUIT!!!!

No Darrou or Banfumbles yet? Are they injured?

That's a pretty strong squad this week for us..should be a marked improvement on field.

No excuse this time. Especially with Carringbusch's list.

They've named Dane Swan though so to say I'm bracing myself for a raping. The tigers couldn't contain Pendlebury, Swan, and Cloke last time. Now that they have a 2nd target in Jesse White I'm a bit worried we're going to get schooled.

Yep, result wasn't important to us last week. I understand that..
But would think the lack of intensity as highlighted by Dimma was the concern more than anything else

SEE THE PLAYERS
Both Collingwood and Richmond will not arrive in Wangaratta until Friday, and unfortunately it only looks as if Tiger fans will get a chance to see some of their heroes.
5pm, Wangaratta Showgrounds:
Richmond players will be training and the public is invited to come and watch the Tigers go through their paces. (Collingwood will not have a training session.)
6-7.30pm, Wangaratta Rovers ground (WJ Findlay Oval):
Crocmedia stars Craig Hutchison, Liam Pickering (and possibly Terry Wallace) will be doing an open broadcast at the Carnival tent set-up at the ground, with Richmond expected to provide some players for the broadcast, but Collingwood appears doubtful. The public is invited.

you may take the pee but would longer be any worse than hampson atm. for that matter for two yrs ive been saying we should have a go at lycett or sinclair at the eagles plus mcgovern whos a key forward.
as a realist who in their right mind expects young ruckmen to dominate. anyone who suggests longer doesnt have upside is kidding themselves.
you got the possesion part right atm hes not gettiing much of the ball. most young ruckmen dont. thing is hes no worse than most ruckmen in this area after two yrs. but your dead wrong when it comes to ruck work. id be over the moon for any second yr ruckman to be averaging 20 h/o a game when played and competing and holding his own in the role. longer is doing this.
you defend hampson along the lines of ruckmen take time, maric is another thrown up yet after just two yrs longer is ridiculed but has done so much more in the role of ruckman at the same age.
simple put longer has done really well to play the games he has and actually do as well as hes done in the role of ruckman. his potential imo makes him worth a top 20 pick at least.
i still think longer and pick 25 for 12 and pick 50 and we keep 32 instead useing iton hampson a better long term scenario than what we did. i came up with with longer 12 , dumont at 25 for pick 12. hewitt our original pick 32, and marsh at 64 a player i rated very highly., would have even grabbed templeton in the nd as well. gordon miles and lloyd could all have been taken in the rookie draft imo.
dont worry about this topic disappearing. right or wrong i will be one revisiting it.
by the way does hamspud look any better at richmond than he did at carlton.
on that squad any one notice how few talls have been named. obviously the talls named will play all the game.
-
Where's Matty Dea?
Does anyone care?
I do. Kinda.
-
@claw I would have liked us to go for Longer but not for what it would have cost us. He will be a decent player but the reactions would have been hilarious to see after a 7HO 1 possie game.

No, I absolutely don't buy that excuse. It's one thing to not play the practice matches without any intensity to avoid getting injured (although even in this instance I would say you're more likely to get hurt by going in soft if the opposition is hell for leather.) But there's NOTHING to be gained by going in with half a bench and pretending that the regular seasons rules apply. By that logic we should have said we won't accept the three extra points for a super goal if we score from outside 50 metres.
-
Have to say I am really looking forward to this road trip tomorrow :thumbsup
Forecasting a warmer day up in Wang (expecting 28o) than here in Melb :clapping
Catching up with family for lunch and then the footy :bow
Expecting a much better performance from the Tigers too :cheers

Because they are only practice matches and you should use them to practice things that you want to achieve in the real games. This year, rotation management is going to be an important game strategy so it makes sense to practice that in these games.

It will and so it should , especially after we passed up the chance to get old statless Billy Longer to the club.
Anyone who can't see that is kidding themselves :shh :lol

Practice winning, No meltdown but not happy losing to Melbourne.
Been proven over the years these games dont really count for much in terms of results anyways.....

Disagree. We should play to whatever rules apply to whichever competition. Melbourne went in with a full complement of players as they should, and made us look lethargic. I feel sorry for those Tiger fans who trekked down to the docklands after work and plonked their hard-earned down to watch a side that basically weren't trying.

Agree to disgree RR. Much bigger and more important agenda to the club than trying to win a practice match for no prizemoney played under different rules imho.

NAB CUP: Jack Riewoldt ruled out of Tigers' squad for Wangaratta clash
By Jake Bourke
Border Mail
Feb. 21, 2014
TWO-time Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt has been ruled out of tomorrow’s NAB Challenge clash against Collingwood at Wangaratta.
In a disappointing blow for North East footy fans, the Richmond ace has failed to prove his fitness in time for the match at Norm Minns Oval and will be sidelined with quad tightness.
Reece Conca, Jake King, Ricky Petterd, Chris Knights, Matt Arnot, Matt McDonough and rookie Matt Thomas have all been included in the Tigers’ 29-man squad.
Richmond forward Aaron Edwards said the club was keen to bounce back from last week’s shock loss to Melbourne against one of its fiercest rivals.
“It wasn’t ideal losing to Melbourne last week but Collingwood this week is a new challenge,” Edwards said.
“We didn’t lose any premiership points last week so we’ll look at the positives to come out of that game.
“You want to win every game you play but at this time of the year it’s not the end of the world if we don’t.
“We’ll just focus on building and getting all the little things right so we can start the year well.”
Former North Albury midfielder Anthony Miles, who is vying for a spot on Richmond’s senior list, has kept his place in the Tigers’ squad, which will be trimmed to 26 before the game.
Miles starred against Melbourne last Friday night.
Collingwood, meanwhile, has recalled a host of premiership stars — including Brownlow medallist Dane Swan — for the clash that is expected to sell out today.
Bright’s Ben Reid, Nathan Brown, Tyson Goldsack and livewire Alex Fasolo are other inclusions.
Nick Maxwell and Dayne Beams have both been rested.
Edwards said the Tigers were hoping for a much stronger showing than they dished up against the Demons, with finals again on the agenda.
“Obviously we made the finals for the first time in a long time last season and that’s definitely the goal again,” Edwards said.
“But a lot of teams have that goal so we need to focus on having a good start to the year.
“Obviously we can’t look past Collingwood this week but we’ve got to build into having a really strong start to the season.
“As they say, once you get to the middle part of the season, if you’re not in the calculations it’s very hard to get into the top eight.
“Credit to Melbourne last week, they played really well.”
Less than 750 of the 11,000 tickets remain for tomorrow’s 4.40pm clash.

NAB Cup: Anthony Miles back on home turf with a point to prove
By Jake Bourke
Border Mail
Feb. 22, 2014
ANTHONY Miles says Richmond will attack today’s NAB Challenge clash with Collingwood at full bore after last week’s shock loss to Melbourne.
With pride on the line at Wangaratta this afternoon, the former North Albury midfielder said the Tigers were desperate to atone after being out-muscled by Melbourne last weekend.
“Everyone has pulled up well and is ready to go,” Miles said.
“We’ve got a strong side in. We’re obviously missing Jack Riewoldt but, other than that, it’s a reasonably full-strength side.
“We spoke about our ferocity at the contest and just being competitive, more than anything.
“Our will at the contest this week is something we’re looking to improve.”
Miles looks a certain starter at Norm Minns Oval following his impressive display on debut for the yellow and black.
He compiled team-high contested possessions (11) and clearances (eight) on his way to 16 possessions and two goals.
The Richmond rookie is now a strong chance of promotion and playing in the Tigers’ round one clash against Gold Coast.
The former Murray Bushranger said he was looking forward to playing at the Wangaratta Showgrounds again.
“I haven’t played here in three or four years,” Miles said.
“It’s in unbelievable nick.
“I walked into the Bushies’ changerooms once we got here and got a bit jealous because we used to be across the road when I was there.
“The new facilities look amazing.”
The Tigers had a light training run after arriving in the North East late yesterday, with big guns Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio and Dustin Martin all taking part.
Richmond then mingled with Wangaratta-based fans, signing autographs and posing for pictures.
Cotchin, Deledio and Jake King proved most popular with the fans.
A capacity crowd of 11,000 is expected to attend today’s clash.

12,000 sell out according to Hutchy.

Hope Matt has a good game, there's one spot left on the list, supposedly.
-
Shame about Knights..
Yep WAT, it would've been good to see Knights and Gordon out there. You would Helbig's future at Punt Rd beyond this year is doubtful if as a fringe player he's been dropped after one practice game following a poor game against the Dees.
Interesting to hear how serious we take today's game and how our forward line functions. Still no Ivan and Jack of our big names so we're not completely at full strength yet.

Lids starting in the centre.
First goal to the Pies after a Morris turnover in the middle.

We got it out of the centre again but too easy for the Pies to clear off HB and run it down for a goal.

Hampson doing well at the centre bounces against Grundy.
Conca inventive kick off HB and we now run it down for Sam Lloyd to get his first goal for the Tiges :gotigers.

Conca again finds Lloyd to hits up Az Edwards 47m out. Point.

Az Edwards needs to kick those if he wants to be in our 22. His bread and butter is meant to be his marking and goalkicking but he's missed too many so far this preseason.

Hampson gets the hit-out and free. To HF finds Conca 55m out. Centres and Edwards kicks a up and under. Ball at ground level and it's a ball-up 40m out. Morris inside 50 and Ellis rolls and rolls a kick into the post.

Batch to Grigg to Cotch and passes to Lids, who puts on the afterburners but misses.

Ellis hurries a kick inside 50 and the Pies fumble and it's rushed through for a point.

That was Lloyd.

Well he is getting the ball isn't he?..he just cant convert.

Let me rephrase, all confidence kicking at goals.
-
Smashing them in the midfield. 16 - 6 in the clearances; 7 - 2 at centre clearances; 37-24 in contested footy; Inside 50s 18 - 9.

A rare centre clearance for the Pies. Cloke goal.

Still leaking easy opposition goals.

Very true. A problem that has cost us a number of winnable games including the final last year.

Arnot doing well since he's been on WAT.
Flossy's handball misses its target and the Pies turn it over and run it up luckily for just a point.

Griffs unloads but misses.
52 - 37

Lids, Titch quick kick towards the goalsquare. Rushed through for another point.

See that little passage of play where...was it batchelor...put in a second and third effort...we won the ball in tight and calmly got it out to Martin? That's the exactly the kind of thing we need to more of ......
-
Run down from behind in defence. Lucky Reid finally misses.
53 - 38

Rance collects off HB to Dusty and nice pass to Thomas. Grundy stupidly gives away 50m (LOL @ the crowd chant :lol). Thomas finds Cotch. Goal :gotigers.

Still don't like Dusty there, would probably have 3 goals by now in his usual position.

Looked like Batch may have injured his calf when Cloke pulled him down from behind close to the end of the quarter

Arnot and Mcdonuts looking like AFL level. Petterd and Thomas fun to poke poo at but love the grunt they are giving. Big Lloydy :clapping

Gotta agree with your comment on Thomas, Dwaino. He's doing a lot of the inside grunt work.
-
Today is showing how much we missed Conca in Elim. Final. Hopefully his hammies hold up [touchwood] :pray.
Still need our tall forwards to become more influential. Griffs has been okay but need more from TV and Az. Ironically we've been a lot better at ground level today which is where our goals are coming from. Our tall backs haven't been that great either one-on-one. It's been our midfield which has done the damage (along with us turning up for this game as opposed to the Dees' game) and is why we're in front.
-
Lids on the run misses again. Should have kicked that.
66 - 44
-
True, MT. TV is running around, getting where the ball aint and he isn't looking too upset about it. I thought Griff's intensity dropped off a bit in the last 10 mins of the second.
Alex Rance still looks very uncomfortable overhead in one-on-one's. It was unusual to see Chappy get easily beaten by Reid a couple of times. Dave Astbury in getting in amongst it and has done OK against Cloke a couple of times, but then Cloke beat him a couple of times as well.
Lot's better in the midfield than against the Dees and massively better forward pressure.
-
Thomas impressive as a midfield option. Not elite but a genuine mid option
McDonough best 22 for sure
-
Miles on.
Pies goal. Too easy there.
66 - 50

Reid marks 10m out and gets his 5th.

Plough just gave our tall forwards a blast for not working hard enough. The one disappointing today from the Tiges.
-
Geez Vickery is stinking it up.
Hampsons tap out to advantage has been very good
-
Free to Miles. Hands to Griffs who kicks it 80m but Hampson misses the ball with his boot and it's a point :P
Pies run it down and another mark and goal to their tall forwards (Cloke's 3rd). That's 8 of their 9 goals.
67 - 62

Az Edwards (now across HB) finds TV who marks 50m out. Misses.

Vickery geez

Put Dusty in tha center!!!!!
-
Foley to Grigg to Arnot who fires and misses as well.
Dusty penalised for a fend-off and the turnover ends up with Cloke. OOTF thankfully. Astbury on Cloke.
Miles interception (after Rance's kick went OOTF). Miles to Lids greats hands to Griffs to Houli to Dusty. Dusty squeezes to Houli for a goal :gotigers.

-
Good professional performance today and put away that dole bludging rabble nicely. Wont comment on everyone but -
Ben Griffiths was good and is showing improvement
Shaun Hampson was good today and played his role well
Matty McDonough played well and seems to be a bit quicker over the deck. Also got more of footy. Well done to the donut
Sam Lloyd was good today and I prefer him playing rather than Aaron Edwards
Matt Thomas brought experience to the team and was good in midfield.
Anthony Miles should play R1.
Major disappointments for mine
Dave Astbury Jake Batchelor and Aaron Edwards. I would not play any of the 3 in r1.
-
Good solid performance from a lot of the boys today, could tell they took it more seriously than last week. Wont bother naming the regulars who looked good,
encouraging performances from
Astbury, thought he got better and better as the game went on after a poor start and did some really nice work in 1-1's.
Thomas was right in amongst it and Miles had about 15 touches in 35 mins of football.
Good to see McDonough get plenty of it and get himself involved in the play a fair bit, lacked some polish and looked rushed at times but that's to be expected at this stage of his development. There was one massive howler he made which I hope he gets sprayed about, when he there was a 2 on 1 and he didn't shepherd which allowed the 1 pie to cause a turnover.
Lloyd loves to run ahead of the ball slippery customer.
Vickery didn't get many touches but he has an impact and
Griffiths showed some good signs both fwd and in the ruck.
Hampson gets right up there, already you can tell hes a vgood tap ruckman.
Pressure and intensity was a lot higher than last week, negative - a bit disappointing at how cheaply we were giving away goals for the first 3 quarters, probably wouldn't bother mentioning it ordinarily as its only a practice game but this is a problem we've always had.

Astbury was fine. He's our 3rd tall. Can't rely on Grimes anymore. Batch was garbage, but A.Edwards looked alright when he wasn't in front of goal.
-
Cant see it with Astbury myself. We need Grimes to stand up and play.
-
Positives:
* No injuries :thumbsup.
* Dominant midfield and half-back line killed the Pies.
* Goals from our small forwards.
* Challenged twice (2nd and 3rd qtrs) and were able to hold up and then kick away.
* Depth looks to have improved. Hampson, McDonough, Miles, Lloyd and Thomas played well.
* Griffiths had another decent game as a ruck/forward.
Negatives:
* Goalkicking - we kept the Pies in the game up to 3/4 time with our misses. A dominant midfield and 10 more scoring shots for most of the game should mean you're always comfortably in front; not just in the last when we kicked away.
* The Pies only threat today came from their big forwards with 8 of their 10 goals coming from Reid and Cloke.
-
Vickery at fullforward in the reals looks promising, just gotta teach the lad to lead out well.
Even praccy matches are great to win especially against the pies.
Didn't see much heavy tackling and the pies did seem to go at a fairly slow pace, so I don't think there's too much to read into the result of the game, just a good feeling of a win is good enuff for me at this stage.
The countdown is on to the start of an awesome season of footy.
:gotigers
-
Great summary MT
Your second last point is indicitive of all of last season whether playing a carlton or freo or cellar dweller like the dees. It needs to be fixed quickly but weve been saying this for a while now
-
Didn't mind the forward line without Riewoldt either
What's the Top 10 in the draft looking like next year?
-
Just got back from the game and here are my observations,
we need Jack, Vickery up forward alone didn't cut it.
Hampson gives us something at centre bounces.
The doughnut is not too bad at all.
I like dustys role off half back.
lids is pure class.
The elimination final should always be played at wangaratta.

he may have got 4 today but with that sort of performance and out put in the real thing most weeks he will be a liability.
on hampson yes he played and rucked well. but jezus so he should have up against a 19 yo for most of the game.

Good to see Cotch get amongst the goals, good win but I am taking as much out of this win as I did with the Melbourne loss. The intensity was there and there as it should be, there were a lot more positives to go in to round one with!!
-
Exactly WAT didn't care about the Melbourne loss and don't care about this win
Pleasing was Miles and Griffiths
Miles is a lock and Big O. Leave that Thomas Lonergan fella back in the VFL
-
Who was missing from the Pies best 22??
We really only had a couple out..
-
beams, seedsman, Maxwell(lol), both sides had about 4-5 regulars out
-
We had more key players out than the pies I reckon.
-
Well, I've watched it two and a half times now and all I can say is, that's more like it. Plenty of positives, including:
Our overall intensity
Our big guns all fired. Cotchin, Martin, Deledio all 30+ possession games, and 4 goals to Trent, if you don't mind.
New and relatively new faces in McDonough, Lloyd, Miles (again), and Thomas all impressed.
But best of all, we made the despised Collingwood look second rate :santa

I am sick of wading through this poo
-
Watched this game a couple of times now and there was plenty of good stuff to come out of it.
But the biggest thing to come out of it for me and hopefully the team and the club is just the belief that we can beat the Pies. A win like this, even if it's only a practice games, hopefully it may show some of our older player that maybe we have gone past Colloingwood. That's why even winning practice games is important, practice winning, practice beating teams that have had the edge over us for a long time.
Winning games of footy is a mindset. We need to have the mindset of every time we play a game of footy nomatter who we play, that we will win.
Belief comes from winning, that's why last weeks games against Melbourne was pathetic. We shouldn't give anyone the slightest hope anytime they play us. If you beat Melbourne by 100 points last week, the first thing on their minds in the season proper is how last time we smashed them.
Equals easy win!
-
It's a fair point big tone. Steve Waugh was uncompromising. No slacking off in dead rubbers - his hate of losing was built playing in unsuccessful teams of the 80s. We don't have to win every practise game but players like Lids, Cotch, Jackson, Jack and Newman should have a vitriol for losing that drives them in every game now we are good enough to consistently compete.
-
Agree with both BT and YandB. That's what I expected to see after a much-vaunted vocal and public pre-season driven by the need for retribution. The Melbourne game couldn't have been further from that if they tried.
-
I must say I agree wholeheartedly with the last three comments by Big Tone, Yellow and Black and Smokey. Whatever the situation, whenever the Tigers run out I want them to win, or at the very least try their very best to win. Which is why I couldn't understand all the "they were experimenting" and "who cares, it was just a practice match" comments in the wake of our loss to Melbourne.
-
And I have to add I agree with what RollsRoyce, Smokey, Yellow and Black and Big tone have said.
