Baker should be back for the last game of the year after completing his 12-day concussion protocol.


Fire away with your chances?

Media suggesting Graham is facing a week for his hit on whoever it was in the 2nd

That should please the majority on this site at least

Slow is not the go. Lets actually hope he gets weeks.
We need a huge injection  of pace, ball winning ability and skill into our midfield.

Rest anyone we are considering actually trading.

Anyone with an injury concern or recently recovered.

Just play some kids and anyone likely to retire etc.

Team Tips:

The Tigers got through unscathed on an injury front against Hawthorn on Sunday, but they’ll still be very disappointed with their efforts. Matt Coulthard played his second game for 2024 and failed to have an impact, registering just three disposals and a goal assist before being subbed out in the third quarter. His replacement Kamdyn McIntosh was strong once injected into the gamer, and will be hopeful of retaining his place in the starting 22 against the Suns. Admittedly though, coach Adem Yze may be inclined to play the kids and not look into form too much as his side hopes to lift themselves off the bottom of the ladder. Whether Yze and co decide to play Liam Baker on the back of a two-week stint on the sidelines with concussion remains to be seen, but if fit, it would make sense for him to slot straight back in. Of the AFL-listed players in the reserves on Sunday morning, Thomson Dow, Tyler Sonsie and Maurice Rioli were among the best, and are all a chance of sneaking in one final game at the top level before season’s end.

Excuse my shoddy Maths - but if we win , are we in danger of losing pick 1 ? 

Nort playing all conquering Hawthorn.

We are playing a team who struggle away from home .

I believe there’s only a wriggle room of 5 goals difference between our percentages .

They'd have to lose by about 100 and us win by about 100 I think.

Could be 50-75 but you get the idea.

We’re not playing well enough to get within 5 goals

Actually you're right, the difference between scores and conceded is only 24 points.

And they're playing Hawks who have every reason to win vs us playing Suns who have nothing to gain.

In the Mix: Round 24

21 Aug 2024




With Liam Baker (concussion) a chance to return for the final game of the season, last week's subbed player Matt Coulthard is the most likely exclusion, following a three-disposal performance. In the VFL, Maurice Rioli (17 disposals, eight tackles) produced a typically sparky performance. Thomson Dow (29, eight clearances) and Tyler Sonsie (27, five clearances) were very busy through the midfield, but both appear to have fallen out of favour of late when it comes to the senior team.

Thanks for your service Liam

You’ve been a courageous Tiger

Considering you’re leaving , not worth the risk of a knee injury etc

Enjoy the game with your non playing teammates and good luck in WA next year

Ooroo

ZERO to gain for Richmond

MRJ has supposedly "fallen out of favour of late"

Two games back after missing 10 weeks due to injury and he's already fallen out of favour
