Don't disagree with that. My bigger concern is pulling out 2 contested mark targets from the fwd line in Vickery and Griffiths and just replacing them with McBean who is not going to give as good a contest.
If we don't win the ruck contests we need to be very strong around the clearances........and Thomas is just the guy to SMASH EM into the ground.

Our structure is vulnerable. We'll miss Ivan's leadership, contests, and going back to take game saving marks. Griffiths was crucial last time we beat them, took some strong marks and chipped in with 3 goals. We'll miss them both.
if west coast can be pushing for the top 4 without their two key backs we should be able to comfortably beat the blues
no excuses

I don't see the ruck issue this week as being as big a problem as some on here. Sheesh we got absolutely thrashed in the ruck against Sandilands and Freo have got a much better onball group then Carlscum and we still managed to beat them - on their own turf as well. We need to be smart around the ball and kick straight for goal when the opportunities arise.

Its not an excuse. Its a possibility that we may lose.
when we no longer(or rarely) lose games to clubs outside the 8, we can start to be confident we are taking another step towards being a top 4 side. Until then it is an expectation that we will comfortably beat the bottom sides.
See Games agin the dees, cats n doggies as examples. Maybe even norff. Every year there are teams that fill the lower end of the top 8 that drop games to sides at the lower end of the ladder.
For what its worth. I think we will win.
Have to win this one. Keep the space between us - geel/nth/port
No Hail Mary 65m Brock McLean win with the last kick, no Judd brilliance to get them over the line, no Betts to carve us up.
To to mature and put this team to the sword!!!! Expecting a BIG smile at 1/4 time and for the rest of Friday nights game

If we play like we did in the first three quarters against The Giants, Carlton will towel us up .Their last 5 games have produced tough inside football with a few good passages of play sprinkled with clangers.
They will be all playing for their football lives/contracts and would love to take down an arch enemy like Richmond. Their rucks will give them first use of the ball and I can see them winning the centre clearances. Add the fact that it would help Barkers chances to be the coach next year and we have a recipe for a potential Tiger disaster.
Make no mistake we have been winning ugly (another way of saying we are not playing well).
I always dread playing this mob - hope we win.

Hardwick agrees. He doesn't see winning the hit out as vital, it's what we do with the first possession after it that counts.Tommy H said:
