Langdon is a massive out, but we have new energy in IQ and Noble to compensate. Langdon is an absolute star, and of course we miss him. But I actually think Stepho is the greatest calamity for us. Because Cox, Mihocek, JDG, were all so much better just because Stepho was there.

Sier the big-bodied midfielder running through the centre....ha...we wish...he's more likely to (hospital) pass it off to a teammate under pressure before he's within several metres of an opposition player! |
Just tell him not to do that, FFS. We know he can play. Just play, Sier. Go in like a bull, like last year and extract the ball for us, and kick it into F50.

Not some vital players, Pnc... They've got back every vital player (and every non-vital but best-22 player) except the cheating diver. |

Yes, true, and like, De Goey and Cox, badly miss their two partners in crime, Stevo and Jamie, it stood out like dogs balls last week, De Goey has more attention put on him now, by Opp. backs, he and Stevo are like peas an carrots they go really well together.

Come on K. You sound pessimistic. Anything can happen this year. Especially when you have your backs against the wall.
Richmond will be cocky, given our injuries and their lack of them. I just hope that we have some unexpected moves like Cameron last week, who was able to engineer an annihilation of our midfield, despite the absence of his entire first tier midfield, with multiple unexpected moves. Up to our coaches. and our players to rise to the occasion, like they did against WC

It's hard for a coaching group to swing changes in round 19 of a season when ur still in the top 4. As per last week....Cox into ruck and grundy centrehalf forward
Give ninthmond something different to look at.... As going by my ladder predictor they will be in the top 4 at end of season and we are bound to face them. Good chance to test out new strategy against them considering our "tackling pressure" we used last year's prelim isn't being delivered by players |

We don’t have goal kickers, which means we can’t kick a competitive score. We don’t have many players who can kick a goal from nothing or more than 45m, meaning no cheap long goals. Dominating WCE for 45 mins for 2 goals, and GWS for the entire second quarter for a 2 goal return proves this. All the belief and hope ain’t changing shit. We can’t break lines. We can’t kick long. We can’t score. Sad, but true.

| Will we give Appleby another chance? We did with Crocker after he performed poorly his first week back, we didn’t drop him. |

I cant stop thinking about this game. Just dont want to get smashed. Praying for a miracle win, no injuries and a relaxing week going in against the Suns.

Fact: Collingwood are out of form. Why? Mixture of injuries to key players, Stevo and Beams off filed situations, maybe gameplan?
Myth: Richmond are the form team of the competition. This is their past 7 games; Loss to North by 37, loss to Geelong by 67, loss to Adelaide by 33, defeated St Kilda by 33, defeated Gold Coast by 92, defeated GWS by 27 and defeated Port by 38.
Ok, they've won 4 in a row. But look at 3/4 of the opposition.
They can be beaten. And we're copping it in the media. The players will have a rocket in their arse.

A shame to lose Aish.
Goldsack preferably, or Scharenberg must come in. I have a feeling that Sier might be dropped, making way for Tyler Brown. The Panda bear needs a kick up the arse, to make him work much, much harder. The 2 goals he got might have saved Crocker, for another week at least. Noble might come back, assuming he is fit, to add some speed and run to our defence.
Out: Aish (inj), Sier, Appleby
In: Goldsack, T. Brown, Noble |

Injuries and ongoing ones are ruining our season, yet again. I see this mob have a full fit team, aside from Rance. Im pretty pessimistic now, we have just run outa soldiers, u cant beat these arrogant Punt rd morons with the likes of Moore, Langdon, aish, Reid, Elliott, Schrenberg, and Steveo out, its a very, very tough ask.
Just hope we can put up a decent show, not be smashed, just have a red hot go, walk off with heads up, bout all we can ask for now, we are decimated, yet again, yet again. Just be competitive, is all I ask.
