Richmond vs Gold Coast @ Metricon - Round 1, 2014

[tigs2011]

Im thinking of flying up and spending the week there with the family, need all the support the boys can get 

Though im really jot that keen on flying 

Statistically speaking you are more likely to arrive alive flying to the GC than driving there, if that's what your concern is.
If you can get the courage up, fares are $55 on Tiger and $59 on Jetstar around that date if you're flexible with times.
At those prices I'm thinking of a quick little weekender up there 

Not sure why, as a kid didnt bother me. As an adult its one of the only things I really dont enjoy
Ive heard its great little stadium though 

fantastic stadium. Well worth going to.

I would seriously put Cotch on him, as our leader could really damage him going the other way. Ablett has no defensive skills, always out the back or side looking to be the link player.

Yep would be happy with that or even Deledio, Lids' pace could be a weapon against Junior

Their midfield is their ONLY strength IMO, and we have the talent to more than cover them, as long as we have the right player on Ablett, Cotch I reckon. We should be easily able to handle their forwards, and I honestly think they will struggle against our tall forwards. My only slight concern is our small forwards, would use Lloyd or I guess Kingy in that role. Love the look of young Miles too, but he is a pure mid in my view.

I would not be underestimating this team, they have the talent and they have shown us up before. I would like to think this is in the bag but they are quite a fit team too.

I agree with you but I think we more than cover them in the midfield area, their biggest strength. We lost to them when we were a pretty poor side, we have improved out of sight since 3 years ago. They have no doubt improved too, but I just think we are a better balanced and well rounded side.

Yeah I would like to think that's the case. Tell you what, I wouldn't be surprised if Foley, Grimes and Lloyd play.

Would be shocked if Grimes got a game after one game back at reserves level. The others, maybe. I think we will pick a side specifically to suit the conditions and match-ups.

Well Grimes first game back after his very long lay off injured was after a half in the reissues then he was back in the side the next week.

Astbury done enough to keep him out

[Willy]

Yeah I think Assberry will get the nod ahead of half-cooked Grimesy. Keen to see how he goes. Im not sold on him but he looked solid against the Dons. Hopefully he has gone up a gear.

Jackson's offensive work last year was very very good against Ablett.

Not according to the umpires on Brownlow night
