AFL Round 10
Richmond vs Brisbane
Tuesday, August 4 @ Metricon Stadium
start time: 7.10pm
broadcast: Fox Footy
-
Looking ahead. McStay rubbed out. One less to worry about.
-
perhaps Rich too. Hamstring?
-
8 point game
-
Fagan said we're the best side and have been for the past 4 years. He brought up that we've beaten them 15 games straight since 2009. So that's in their head.
Rich won't be back for them while Birchall will be rested given they have a 4-day turnaround compared to our six.
-
Media will jump on lions like last years final and they we're a touch cocky.
-
Interesting to see if we tag Neale. Normally Graham gets the tag role if we go with one but he's out of the side as he's struggled this year.
Grimes surely gets Cameron again.
The other thing is to not simply kick down the line or lazily bomb inside 50 and allow Andrews easy defensive marks. Jack and Lynch need to separate so Andrews can't sit in front of both of them.
-
I think our system works well against Brisbane. We play our way we win.
Inside 50’s ball movement must be continually refined and improved.
Maybe Ross on Neale

Why tag Neale? He had high numbers against us last year and they lost both games
-
I think we got the lions in there head.Maybe there after a bit of payback from last season's final when there coach said how we loose the game led all the stats.I think Lynch and Jack can trouble them and in the ruck we can dominate.You cut supply to Cameron they struggle to kick goals to.
-
The key to this game will be the start we make. That suffocating style of play has completely robbed the opposition of all momentum in the last 3 weeks and really should’ve resulted in us winning all of those games comfortably.
I think we like being the hunted, providing we bring our A game again tomorrow night, it won’t matter if we’re inside their head or not
-
Looking forward to another Lions pumping.
Without Hodge I think they don't have a chance.

Dusty v Neale: The match that decides Brownlow?
If you ask Richmond coach Damien Hardwick, Brisbane superstar Lachie Neale is guaranteed to rack up a ton of footy against the Tigers on Tuesday night. But there’s a bloke in yellow and black who is producing Brownlow Medal form.

Running hot: Tigers weigh up tag tactics
By Jon Pierik
The Age
August 4, 2020
Richmond have declared tagging Brownlow Medal favourite Lachie Neale could be a futile exercise and have backed their overall game plan to get the job done in a potential grand-final preview against the Brisbane Lions on Tuesday.
Tigers coach Damien Hardwick has never tasted defeat against the Lions, winning 14 straight from when he took charge in 2010, but the Lions have this season emerged as a legitimate premiership threat, having returned to the finals last year for the first time since 2009.
The hard-running Neale has been instrumental in their rise, and has enjoyed a combined 88 disposals in his past two matches against the Tigers - in round 23 last year when he had a career-high 51 at the MCG and 37 a week later in the qualifying final at the Gabba.
The former Docker is averaging 28.7 touches a game this season and, heading into battle at Metricon Stadium, has emerged as outright favourite to claim the sport's highest individual honour, but Hardwick maintained the fifth-placed Tigers were not a team that generally employed run-with roles.
"He has a field day every time he plays us as well. I think he had 40, or it might have been 50, one game he played us," Hardwick said on Monday.
"He is an incredible player. We showed our players some vision of him this morning, he can fight through tackles and get through and then create one v none. He is a player we can tag but the reality is he will probably still get 30 when we do tag him. We will monitor him as best we can.
"We will try and manage his output but the reality is great players do what great players do. We are not a heavy tagging side.
We have those contingencies in place but we will back our side in to play their very best footy and if we do that, we think we will be okay."
Neale was best on ground and had 33 disposals and two goals against the Bombers on Friday night when he was largely allowed to roam free.
The Tigers and Lions have made one change apiece. For the Tigers, hard-running defender Nick Vlastuin returns from a calf injury for his 150th match to replace Oleg Markov. The Lions have rested veteran Grant Birchall, having played eight matches this season, and replaced him with key defender Jack Payne, who will make his senior debut.
The reigning premiers have found their groove after an indifferent start to hub life and reinforced why there is no reason why they cannot claim back-to-back flags when demolishing the Western Bulldogs last week.
Dustin Martin booted six goals in the 47-point win against the Lions in the qualifying final and his growing influence this season has reflected the improvement the Tigers are enjoying despite missing several key players. He was brilliant against the Bulldogs and prompted Channel Seven commentator Bruce McAvaney to declare he was back in "Brownlow shape".
Asked if Martin, who now appears fully over a rib injury, could recapture his stunning form of 2017, Hardwick replied: "It was a pretty special year, there is no doubt about that. But I think Dustin's consistency will always keep him up around that level.
"His last two weeks have been outstanding, the GWS game and the Bulldogs game. He takes a bit of time to warm into the season but once he finds his mojo, he gets up and going. I expect he will be in some really good form from here on end."
Brisbane may have awarded Charlie Cameron a five-year contract but the dashing small forward will not want to reprise the memories of his two performances against the Tigers last year. All-Australian defender Dylan Grimes held him to seven disposals in round 23 and only one goal a week later, while taking crucial intercept marks.
Cameron said on Monday he had learnt from those performances and would look to run Grimes across the ground.
Hardwick said: "Once again, we have got some plans in place. What that will look like, Charlie plays in different parts of the ground, Dylan will, too.
"It will be a team-type match-up at various stages. We know that Dylan is capable of doing the role but Dylan has got other obligations that we need him to fill at various stages as well."
Tigers forward Tom Lynch was well held by Harris Andrews in both matches last year, managing a combined 13 marks and three goals. Hardwick said Andrews was "probably" the best defender in the league and the Tigers needed to hinder his ability to take intercept marks.
"We know how Brisbane play. They know how we play. We both try and do our best to take away their strengths and exploit their weaknesses," he said.
"It's going to be a tough challenge. They are in outstanding form at the moment. I love the way they are playing, I love watching them play."

Ross still has upside, McIntosh is hanging on by a thread- too many stupid mistakes for mine.

Update:
In: Nank, Caddy, Dow. Ralph malf tells me Nank is ready which means he is probably 2 weeks away still
Out: Soldo, Ross, Cotchin (rest)....He can take Brooke shopping instead :lol

Higgins really frustrates me. He is worse with his kicking and decision making than castagna imo.
And Castagna chases harder too.
I know Higgins has had a very interrupted development, but still. Hopefully he can improve.

Did anyone mention the umpiring last night. I am stunned we won by so much as the umpiring was very lop sided.
They must have got 6 - 50 metre penalties awarded to them.
-
To be fair we did a benefit from a couple of dodgy calls at crucial times as well....but on the whole Brisbane got the rub.... :shh

Brisbane can beat Richmond when it counts despite decade of Tiger dominance
A big Richmond win on Tuesday night had some questioning Brisbane’s premiership credentials after 11 straight years of losses to Richmond. But Lions midfielder Callum Ah Chee said there was not psychological hold.

BRISBANE midfielder Callum Ah Chee is adamant Richmond don’t have a psychological hold on the Lions despite the Tigers’ ongoing dominance of the Queenslanders.
The Tigers added to an 11- year winning streak against the Lions, with their latest success over Brisbane on Tuesday night at Metricon Stadium.
Richmond has lost just once to Brisbane in their past 20 encounters, including 14 wins in a row against a team considered one of their premiership rivals.
The Lions booted themselves out of Tuesday’s game, kicking 4.17 and Ah Chee said that was the concern, not the Tigers’ continued success over them.
“Most of the blokes haven’t been playing since 2009 (when Brisbane last beat Richmond),” Ah Chee said.
“I don’t think that was much of a problem. I think we actually played some pretty good footy, we just needed to finish our work.
“Obviously they (the Tigers) are a fantastic team, but if you look at the (statistics), if we finished our work we’re actually pretty close to having a close game with them.”

AFL Report Card: Round 10
Foxsports
8 August 2020
RICHMOND
We might have already gotten past the part of the season where the Tigers were vulnerable. They’ve now produced two consecutive 41-point wins over top eight contenders, this time taking advantage of a woefully inaccurate Brisbane. The reigning premiers have now won five of their last six matches and are now getting to the point where their young players, who were forced to fill in for veteran stars, are arguably claiming those spots permanently.
In the votes
Jeez, this Dustin Martin bloke goes alright, hey? Just an easy 24 disposals, 604 metres gained, three goal assists, nine inside 50s and ten score involvements for the Brownlow superstar. He was helped by the Tigers’ key forward, Tom Lynch and Jack Riewoldt, combining for seven goals in easily their best combined performance of the year. Meanwhile Shai Bolton (24 disposals, six clearances) was fantastic and Jake Aarts (two goals) keeps getting better.
Room for improvement
This was a great win on the scoreboard, but if the Tigers are smart, they won’t get lulled into thinking they’re really seven goals better than the Lions. The key metrics were all pretty even – Richmond won the inside 50s by four and contested possessions by six, but lost the clearances by nine. While they definitely deserved the four points, they were helped by Brisbane kicking themselves out of the game early.
