Richmond vs West Coast - Round 3, 2017

[lamington]

Their firepower is impressive but if the RFC midfield do enough defensively so they don't get clean entries to Kennedy, Darling and LaCras we might go 3-0

Out of interest, this week will be only the 3rd time in the past 10 years we've played the Eagles at the 'G.

Our last win at the 'G over the Eagles was back in 2010 when a young Jack Riewoldt bagged 10 goals.

Yes and glad I was there to see that. Back then the West Coke Eagles were still coming down from the high

And we had their ring leader playing for us that game.

Need to do a lockdown on Shuey. He's their key mid.

[one-eyed]

He may still play but there's talk of the Eagles resting Sam Mitchell this week given after us they have a 5-day break before playing the Swans at home.

From Barrett's Sliding Door column today:


IF   the Tigers want to be taken seriously ...    

THEN    ... they either defeat, or lose narrowly, to the Eagles. Have done what they had to do in weeks one and two, but not sure they’ve beaten any form of quality.

Big game today. A good test against top four aspirant. Win and we put ourselves in a good position to make finals.

No late changes to either side for this afternoon's #AFLTigersEagles clash.

Prestia, Lennon, Short, McIntosh our starting bench.

Are we better suited in the wet ? I reckon it may rain, thunder storm just hit the great ocean road.

The system is coming in from the North West, it will miss the city for most of the day.
We might get a shower later tonight but the game should be well over.

Decent crowd here early. Reckon it might push up into the low 50,000's

Season defining game. Win and we'll likely be 4-0 and full of confidence before heading into the tougher 3-week period against the Dees, Crows (away) & Dogs. Pinch one of those and with Freo to follow, we could be 6-2 after round 8. Lose today though and it'll be a reality check and although we'll likely to still be 4-4 by round 8, it'll still mean we're miles off and in reality a bottom side.

What a surprise! Free immediately to ducker Shuey  .

We got the intercept from a bad Eagles turnover but Castagna sprayed the shot badly.
