Richmond vs Brisbane @ Metricon --- Round 18, 2021

Tigers, Lions likely for Friday night in Riewoldt’s 300th

Richmond’s fight to secure a finals spot is likely to face the roadblock of a clash with premiership fancies Brisbane off a five-day break in what is set to be Jack Riewoldt’s 300th game.

Industry sources indicated to The Age on Tuesday that the league is strongly considering scheduling a Friday night game in round 18 between the Tigers and Lions at the MCG.

Melbourne v Hawthorn is another option but the clash featuring the reigning premiers is considered to be the frontrunner.

The AFL has turned its attention to round 18 with the round 17 fixture almost complete and crowd limits likely to increase slightly at games in Victoria this weekend.

Industry sources said they were expecting capacity to increase from 50 per cent with a maximum of 25,000 people to 75 per cent with a maximum of 30,000 at all Victorian stadiums.

The Tigers and Magpies have been shifted to the Sunday twilight slot this weekend, however Richmond are expected to soon return to prime time, albeit off a shortened break, with each club allowed to have one five-day gap during the season in accordance with an agreement between the league and AFL Players Association. Champion forward Riewoldt is due to play his 300th game against the Lions.

Chris Fagan said he expected under-siege Richmond to be at its "very best" for Jack Riewoldt's 300th game.

"The Tigers are pretty desperate to make the finals and they'll always give themselves a chance to be successful if they get inside the eight.

"All the criticism they're getting will only fire that up."

Brisbane has made a habit of breaking hoodoos since being coached by Chris Fagan, but one remains – winning at the MCG.

On Friday night they get a chance to put another nail in the Tigers' finals aspirations, while at the same time recording a rare win at the home of football.

Brisbane hasn't won at the MCG since 2014, losing nine straight matches, including all six games at the ground during Fagan's tenure.

Desperate is one thing, desperate with our VFL side is another. Yes as supporters we want to see the effort but there should also be an understanding that if both sides perform to their best then we still lose unfortunately and that's just how things are at the moment.

Whats going on with our medical team. Blokes like Vlastuin Nankervis Prestia and Lambert must be ready to go.
If we got those four back with a couple of other tweaks id give us a chance.

pee off Naish Castagna Aarts and Rioli and we are no longer starting 4 men down.

Would love to see this team take the field

Mansell - Astbury - Grimes
Vlastuin - Miller - Stack 

No Rioli thank god. Garthwaite a bit unlucky but give me the bigger quicker Miller for Daniher, Astbury would get McStay whos a pretty big unit as well. with no Hipwood it frees Grimes up for Cameron

Mids

McIntosh - Martin - Lambert
Nankervis - RCD - Prestia

IF McIntosh can play like last week then this is just about our strongest midfield. RCD will benefit enormously with Prestia Nankervis and Dusty all in there with him

fwds

Baker - Riewoldt - Parker
Chol - Lynch - Bolton 

With adams gone Chol s presence means their Tall defenders all have an opponent and with Nankervis just coming back gives him a good break. Parker over Castagna and Aarts is a must. Baker has been great when up fwd and Bolton provides real x factor when he is there.He and Dusty could be rotated in and out of there.

INT: Short - Cotchin - Graham - Pickett. Cotchin is lucky but they wont drop him for Jacks 300th

Dont mind it, although I would like to continue to trial Rioli at half back for at least another couple of weeks.

If McIntosh could kick he’d be of real value on a wing unfortunately most of the time his kicks are very poor and once in a while he’ll hit a target and your left asking yourself why can’t you do this most of the time. The other facets of his game are good.
It’s unfortunate we don’t have skilful wingman.

100% spot , but what I can't understand why our prayers don't get around him if they no he can't kick for a handball.
