Round 7 Discussion

So you now have Aaron and Shane Edwards at Richmond?

If Maric and Big O play then Port will make a late change, i can't see Westhoff playing 2nd ruck. Even more surprising that neither Lobbe or Renouf are Emergencies. Only reasoning i can see behind it is that Redden is better than Renouf, which i think Hinkley has mentioned previously, while Lobbe has played 6 games straight and might be in need of a rest.

Yay, Cassissi a likely out for the Power. Good news for Deledio I would say?

And Schulz also in need of a fitness test. :-\ Paul Stewart might come in as he's very versatile if Cassisi's out. If Jay misses, then Dan Stewart would be the in.

Andrew Moore would tag if he avoids the green, but Deledio is your best mid yeah, since Cotchin's out, Kane Cornes is going to him.

Kornesy doesn't put on as hard a tag as a lot of the others though, does he? More of a run-with these days? Good news for my DT at least then >:D

Well a couple of key players missing from your lot has me a bit more confident :o :-X

Didn't realise Guan's 100th was today!

Hope the big fella has a good one, really deserves it. I admit I was a doubter, but he has worked hard and improved out of sight this season. Congratulations to him! :D

Too good fellas, killed us in the 1st quarter where it was vital that Port got a decent start. We never recovered.

TeeJay · May 11, 2013, 05:21:03 PM

Score board flattered port in the end. Richmond were a 70 point better side today missing grimes, vickery, cotchin, conca, petterd, and having knights come off early and tuck battle on with a busted shoulder that he couldn't lift a cm.

I'm glad ports wheels have come off. Now I don't have to listen to their shower talking supporters waffle on about how they are gonna play finals ::) no where near it

Jroo · May 11, 2013, 05:32:07 PM

Happy with the performance today, everyone played well
Dusty, Lids and Jroo were brillant as usual, but I liked how Ellis and Vlastuin played!

Kellogscrunchynut · May 11, 2013, 05:37:22 PM

So glad I brought in Ellis this week, great win we needed this.

You can't say that Richmond were 70 points better. With those players back Port may have matched up better. ;) They were 41 points better, because that was the final margain. ::)

I agree when you say the scoreboard was flattering though, 37 point qtr time deficit, never deserved to win after that. If Port can fix those starts, then we'd be alot better.

Good win by the boys, good on you for being gracious in defeat PB! ;)

3 votes Deledio, you are a star. That's the kick start he needs to get his form back! Lead by example today!

Very happy all around with our performance, was very surprised at how well O-Steph played! His tapwork was fantastic, I'd almost go so far as to say he probably out rucked Maric.

Bad luck to Knightsy, hoping it's not too serious and he can be back out on the field after the byes, and Shane 'The Soldier' Tuck pull up alright, looked like he was in a world of pain.

Great win by the boys. I was thrilled with the way we went about it today.

I must admit I tipped Port after Cotchin was ruled out on top of our other injuries but it didnt seem to phase us. Players stepped up. Edwards, Martin and Lids were fantastic in the guts. Vlastuin is going to be a star, Foley racked it up when he took to the field. The big O, how good was he? I know he played on a kid but around the ground he was fantastic as well as dominating the hit outs.

That win was so important. Great to get back on the winners list and Melbourne next week should be a reasonably easy win (although I wont get ahead of myself) Go tigz
