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.

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

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??

[WilliamPowell]

Definitely at Etihad

Early game at 1.00pm

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

[eliminator]

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.

[Penelope]

the lads should all wear butt plugs for a few hours before the game to prepare for right royal rogering they are about receive. 

[WA Tiger]

God, its getting that bad with our team that I just don't look forward to any game anymore let alone facing the Cats.

[wayne]

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.

[gerkin greg]

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.
