Not happy with the in's. But a 3 time premiership coach is not a dimwit and has deserved the right to be trusted no matter how much those of us not in the inasanctum protest.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Would’ve liked to see Stack. I’m guessing he or Lamba will be the subs.

Of all the players we have we turn to a player that has failed us so many times.

[TigerLand]

I am not a Castagna fan. But he's been there in big games and won us 3 flags. For us to win this year I believe we need Castagna to get back to close to his best. I'm ok with him coming into get some form against Eagles hopefully.

I would have rathered Stack or Noah but I totally get the match committee going what's best case scenario for a premiership and it's getting Castagna into form over hoping one of the others comes up to the mark.

If Lambert isn't the sub then Dimma will probably go for Aarts as well  .

Stack very stiff. His last two weeks in the VFL have been excellent.

Castagna won us three flags???

My goodness

So we couldn’t have won without him ??

I’d even argue if you said Dusty won us three flags .. but Castagna ??? LMAO

[WilliamPowell]

As I said I  don't bother even trying to make sense of the selection calls anymore

Just think to myself "whatever"

The plane the Eagles were on had a midflight engine failure. They had to drop from 35k feet to 17k.

THE CERTAINTIES OF ROUND 16 --- Richmond v West Coast

Jack Makeham
SEN
2 July 2022

Richmond to score 100+ points

Despite last week’s narrow loss to Geelong, right now the Tigers are playing some of their best footy all year.

Currently the third-highest scoring side in the competition, Richmond is averaging 13.9 goals a game.

On the other hand, West Coast are the worst defensive team in football, with opponents kicking over 16 goals per game against them.

This is the perfect storm for Richmond to run rampant at the MCG.

When these teams last met in Round 7, Tom Lynch kicked seven goals in a 165-56 thrashing.

The Eagles are a better team than they were at the time, but it won’t be enough to stop the Tigers from piling on a score.

Hurn to have 15+ disposals and 6+ marks

The veteran Eagle still has some flight left in him.

During West Coast’s nightmare season, Hurn has been consistent down back, doing his best to stabilise a flimsy Eagles defence.

This has led to the former skipper averaging a tick over 21 possessions a game to go along with 7.5 marks.

Richmond’s play style is likely to help these numbers, with the Tigers leading the competition with 69.6 clangers per game, likely resulting in plenty of footy for Hurn to get his hands on.

Expect him to hold his own in the tough matchup against Richmond.
