[Eat_em_Alive]

Think this might be Tucks last year.....

Dont say it 

I know....really wanted him in this week too.....would hate to see him leave and on top of that play the rest of the season in the 2's.

if thats the case Ill be driving the poo truck to punt road

yep, if tuck rots the season away at coburg while constantly picking up loads of possessions i will be filthy. Tuck deserves to get a taste of finals in his career as much, if not more than newman.

Panic Room: Liam McBean named emergency for Tigers; watch on Brandon Ellis after heavy knock

WHISPERS

While the major interest surrounds Lance Franklin failing to fly to Adelaide with the Hawks, Richmond fans have been whispering his name for months and the sight of Liam McBean as the first emergency last night has sent them into hysteria.

McBean is a 202cm ruckman who has been likened to Paul Salmon in his ability to play key forward.

With big man Ivan Maric a week-to-week proposition with his groin, if 'The Mullet' pulls up sore from the plane ride it could be McBean time in Cairns tomorrow night against the Suns.

The Tigers are also monitoring promising youngster Brandon Ellis who was knocked out last week and subbed out of the game in the opening term against North.

He was named on the bench last night but still has several boxes to tick so don't be suprised if Ellis is a no-show in the Top End.

ON NOTICE

Every person associated with the Richmond Football Club

The fact the Tigers sold their soul for home games in Cairns is a whole different debate but the fact they are the only team who has yet to beat the Suns is embarrassing.

Given how bad the Tigers were last week against North, if they can't find a way to break the Cairns hoodoo then stand by for the annual membership burning on the steps of Punt Rd Oval.

Look for White to have a shocker

I recon he deserved a chance to start the game, but grigg as sub? Dont see grigg as the kind of guy who comes on and has an instant impact..
