Changes v Skunks

there's opportunity here with their contemptuous numbers down back.

other teams can rebound against us by exploiting our -1 up forward but Collingwood won't be able to do that

if we can generate our usual number of inside 50s, collingwood will give us looks at goal.

some folks might be surprised at an uptick in forward efficiency this week.

unless it shites down and becomes a mud wrestle, which is also a win for us.

Yeah thanks Robert Walls
 
If Dusty and Hoppy don't come up.
Out Dusty, Hopper, Short
In Cumbers, Sonsie, Ross

I reckon Banks is getting close, would like to get him into the side too.
 
last 20 games collingwood have won 15, lost 5 games with a % of 107

last 20 games richmond have won 12, 2 drawn and lost 6 games with a % of 127

usually you need a % well over 110% for a season to finish top 4

Collingwood are flying at the moment, will be interesting to see how they go longer term

You may not have noticed, for some reason there wasnt much comment on it, but Broad was suspended, so will miss.

We have to either hold our shape and expose them going forward with long kicks to our forward line effectively by passing the midfield. When we don’t have the ball then Macintosh and Pickett become crucial. They need to play more central and block the corridor. Make them play through the wings.

This is why I dont reckon KMac goes back. We have 2 of the best defensive wingers in the game, and are playing a team that moves the ball better than most.

Looks like Drugivan won't be in. Straight through the VFL. Hopefully Myercheck misses too with a busted finger.

I think if we resist the temptation to pick Jack Ross,

We'll win this one

Not a huge Ross fan, but with 4 outs and Ross BOG in VFL - I reckon the odds are he's coming in. Personally would love to see the likes of Sonsie, Clarke, Banks & Cumberland myself.

Hoping it's Banks, Sonsie, Miller and Cumbo

Unfortuntely the most likely outcome will be Tarrant(if trains), Ross, Ralpsmith and Mansell in the 22

Yep,, reminds me of a game several years ago - 2-3 key pies out, they call in the kids and spanked us.

Having said that we have been uber competitive for a LONG time now, the "system" still works. The too have outs, Howe, Ginnivan is back via VFL, Mihocek is in doubt and Kruger and Lipinski are out for several more weeks too. Its Richmond 2017 v Richmond 2023.

When you look at our lines, even with 4 our we have - Jack and Tom up forward, Presia, Torranto, Shai in the middle, Balta, Vloss, Grimes and the AA Rioli down back. Our Ruck stocks are ok with Nanak and the youngster Ryan paying a Stella game 2. Its not all doom and gloom.
