They just guess the teams.

 

[Chimptastic]

90% of the football world are (cautiously) tipping us against a Top 4 opponent.

We earned some respect last match. Have to justify it tomorrow night and repay the faith which is so rarely given to the RFC by the media.

 

[TigerForce]

Sounds like 'No Change' this week going by Dimma's presser.

He all but rules out Newman for this week. He only flagged a possible change if the weather doesn't suit our tall forward line.

Yeah, I doubt it would rain tomorrow night. Promising rain always dissipates every time it arrives to the Vic border.

 

[blx]

I know the slowly slowly approach has worked for us recently but if the weather is right I'd be tempted to play 3 talls and switch to an open style game.

Riewoldt, Vickery and Griffiths will surely stretch them.

 

[Tigerfan]

I'm guessing It will be no change
Mcdonough arnott gordon as weather contingency emergencies

 

[K3]

I wasn't overly thrilled with Hunt's performance last game, or the couple before that actually, but I did miss the first quarter against the Dorkers.

Could it be beneficial to replace him with McDonut?

 

[Tiger Pops]

T minus 24 hours before hitting the pubs in the city before the 7:50 kick off. The week of a nice break or momentum killer? One would hope the first. So much written on a in form Eagles who are coming to the G on a Friday night and like us have so many of its 22 in very good form.

I dont think I can keep using year defining game 5 weeks in a row.. but I will ;D

A good month does not make a good season. Pessimistic as some of the seasoned faithful have seen the wheels fall off far too many times.

Cant wait to get to the G and for the opening siren..

Go Tigers

..............also like to see " No Change" !!!

He is part of a defence that has conceded 70, 59 amd 43 points the last few games as well as providing crucial run out of there. Wouldnt touch the backline, stability is the key and they are performing well.

 

[tiges]

No change i reckon.

Im also tipping the Eagles in tipping comp, last three weeks I've picked against us we've won so I'm sticking with it, if that means doing it rest of the year and lose the tipping comp so be it. :spin

 

[seven]

Newman 1-2 weeks in the 2s

I think he has been playing his role and playing it well. I saw the game live against FREO and he covered some serious territory. He compliments the back 6 well especially if we try to open up from stoppages, he is hard to catch. I feel he is a bit maligned along the same path as Batchelor because he does a lot of grunt work rather than the polish. Hopefully from my point of view the team stays the same, lets see where to from here.

 

[5SKULL5]

Menadue has been sub last couple games, add in the bye, he hasn't had much of a run.
I think C.Ellis will be sub and Gordon will come into the team.

2-4 under Hardwick.

Our tally ain't bad for a team who joined ten years after foundation clubs.

Essendon, Hawthorn are soft. South Melb / Sydney unbelievable.

 

[Tigers of Old]

All clubs with unchanged sides:

That is a pretty damn cool set of stats L2R. You never cease to amaze.

 

[Letsroar]

I agree amazing set of stats. L2R do you have the stats that tells us ruckman hit out to advantage as a % of the total number of ruck contests attended
