Richmond vs Melbourne - Round 9, 2014
« on: May 11, 2014, 02:00:12 PM »
AFL Round 9
Richmond v Melbourne
Saturday May 17, 2014
Start time: 1.40pm

Both sides coming off narrow defeats in games they had a chance of winning in the last quarter.

Early thoughts? Will having had the bye be an advantage or disadvantage?

Season over if we lose, demons won't be easy beats. They will see us as a potential win and take confidence out of that pre season game

I watched Melb play the Dogs last night & I'm not exactly shaking with fear over what the Dees are serving up ATM.  A few players are going alright for them (Jamar, Jones & Vince), but overall I feel pretty confident about this one ... assuming that Jacqueline Watts plays.  One thing though - I'm expecting to see 18 Melb players in our forward line for most of the game.   :banghead

Expectations on Watts are so low these days that he gets a pass mark if he has a crack and lays a tackle or two. He was ineffectual last night, as usual. Salem and Kennedy Harris are doing way more for that team and they are first year players. 
I expect a tough contest.

How did Melbourne beat us in the preseason? I think it was through applying more pressure, winning the stoppages, forcing the turn over and then retaining the football. Realistically they more more willing to put in the effort than we were. Melbourne always seem to match up well against us. They always believe they can beat us if they fight out the game. If we are to win this game we have to approach it like we are playing a top 4 team and force our focus to the 1% and pressure acts first and hard running link play second. This is how we can beat any side in the comp

When everyone else was flogging Melbourne by 15-20 goals we were only beating them by 5 - 7 goals and they took us into the last quarter. This year they're better and we're worse.

If the Richmond of the 3rd quarter against Geelong turn up we should win this easily. With Brett Deledio back on the park I'm fairly confident about this one.
