Round 2 - changes to the team. Richmond v GWS

According to the mcg website the only ga seating sunday is

GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING​

Ponsford Stand
  • M28 (rows A-Z)(no alcohol)
  • M29 (rows A-S)
  • M30-M36


No mention of any of the top decks
 
I agree but if you look at the missed opportunities in the 1st quarter by Riewoldt, Lynch, Castagna and Aarts that should stick under the coaches noses more. Senior players with set shots and fatigue not a factor. We had the chance to blow them away and did not take it.
Carlscum had a *smile* load of opportunities to put us away before the last qtr. Think they had four posters for the night. 31 scoring shots to 21 paints a far more accurate picture than anything else. They smacked us inside and outside, entire game could have been very ugly instead of just the last 20 minutes.

Must be restricting seating areas because the caterers have got no staff. Wouldn't be expecting more than 40,000 to turn up at best.

They smacked us inside and outside, entire game could have been very ugly instead of just the last 20 minutes.

But again, the scoring shot differential blew out in the final quarter. At 3 quarter time, scoring shots were 19 each. The final quarter was an aberration.

They were a bit unlucky with a couple of the posters, but the 2 that Silvagni had were tough shots from the pocket, they were very good kicks, not poor ones for those posters.

I do agree on the 1st quarter though. We were 4.5 at quarter time versus 1.3 highlighting how dominating that 1st quarter was before Prestia was injured. Had we gone in at quarter time as we should have, based on the shots we missed, we might have been 6.3 or 7.2, that makes the game totally different if we go into quarter time ahead by 30-40 points instead of 20, then the game most likely would have been different as Carlton would have got desperate at times IMO.

.a harder quicker taller edge...up the pressure

gibcus tarrant broad
mansell grimes short
kmac pickett bigoa
edwards bolta george
parker lynch baker

r: nank/soldo martin bolton
int: cotch graham rioli miller

out: nank (hurt?)/soldo (too soon?) riewoldt prestia aarts ross
in: miller parker mansell biggy kmac

.major sell is bigoa to wing.
i'm a big fan of tall athletic wings (clay, bourke, richo twilight, chol shoulda, kmac)
.mobile airial contest prowess both sides is a huge defensive & attacking setup advantage...options galore
.rucks luvit & enables less exhausted efforts at centre bounce, midfield luv the presence factor & less outsized contests
.big has put on 6kg & was impressive v hawks, like kam (yes), an excellent kick on the run, & from what ive seen enjoys a contest.
.so what he hasnt been groomed, if hes overwhelmed swap him with broad, relief ruck, midfield even ...just pick him for versatility.
.pickett to midfield justifies alone
.wont happen tho...timid dimma never tried it with chol

mansell now ripped to match mindset, adds bite with bulked up short +5kg to defence
parker pace, tackling & height ideal fwd ball retention addition to george & baker, great fwd balance
miller now hard as a plank, mobile ruck relief (tho not groomed why not?...grigg didnt even try) or plan b key back on monster fwd
.cotch, graham, rioli relegate to bench...all owe us one

.ross indecision, no acceleration, poor kick
.rcd quicker off the mark a better prospect
.hugo +5kg still not hard, poor kick, haircut
.stack soon hopefully.
.ryan +8kg?
 
RCD has been an understudy for a few years now, must play.
In WebKam, RCD, Stack in forward line, perhaps Cads added too.
Bakes to hbf to sandbag defence.
Kam and Marlion on wings.
Rioli to hff, Stack to forward pocket or hff.

If Collier Dawkins doesn't get selected with Martin and Prestia out. He needs to request a trade to stkilda or North.
When was the last time we played without both Jack and Dusty?
2010??

2019 I wanna say round 4 vs. Port Adelaide.

EDIT: However based on how many injuries to key players we've continued to cop ever since Rance went down Round one 2019, I'm sure there has been a game even more recently.

FWIW we also won that game against Port, was a cracker over in Adelaide.

*smile* the footy gods are shitting on us recently.

Lose half our best 22 and teams get their players back the week they play us, awesome.
Paddy Ryder, Rory Laird and Tex Walker are also expecting to return next week.

*Checks Fixture*

I haven't been to the footy for a couple of years but I'm a member of the club. I'm thinking of going on Sunday stupid question maybe but do I need to book through ticket mob or can I just rock up and enter with membership. Fully vaxxed and all.
