Carlton in 2 nights time.. Please Richmond just beat them :'(

Going to be wet weather so for mine I say get Jacko, Kingy and Arnot in. Could name 10 players that dont deserve to play after last weekend

Good idea Quinny.
Can't wait until Thursday night, it's going to be a good game.
If Jacko is fit he must come in. We need a crumbling forward so Lloyd or King comes in too.
I hope McDonough keeps his place, I think he should.
I'd like to see Knights make his way in too, perhaps in place of Foley,

reckon McDonough holds his spot?

Also how safe if Griffiths spot in the team?

McDonough's will be performance based. We have guys to take his spot if he doesn't do too well.

Griff should be safe until Ivvy returns.

Looking forward to Thursday night, I'll be at the Richmond end, the guy wearing the Richmond memorabilia easy to spot.

Really want to see Knights play at the G, big supporter of his, I think he would take the place of Foley or McDonough, played across wing/half-back in the VFL this week so adds even more versatility to his half-forward capabilities.
Also reckon Jackson and King will come in for Foley and Edwards or Petterd.

Listening to Dimmas press conference it sounds to me like Jacko is more likely to play in the 2's for another week.
I expect King to come in for sure. I would bring Edwards in too. He played well against Carlton in the final last year.

Carlton will be without Judd, Carrazzo, Walker but it seems it doesnt matter what side they have in they always get up against us

Quote"We will see a change in the way we bring the ball in, the front six will pretty much stay the same with a mixture of Jack, Ty, Ben Griffiths will be down there, Chris Newman and those types ... but we'll try to get as many goals as we can through various amounts of sources," he said.

At selection, the Tigers are considering playing Daniel Jackson, but his limited pre-season makes it tough choice.

Recruit Matt Thomas will get either Marc Murphy or Bryce Gibbs, and Jackson, although naturally fit, wouldn't have the game legs to play either a run-with role, or as an out and out midfielder.

Forward Jake King another to be looked at, as will Aaron Edwards who kicked half a dozen goals in the VFL last week.

Good idea Quinny!

Would like to see Knights, Lloyd or King in for Petterd this week.

Toga · March 26, 2014, 06:46:03 PM

McDonough dropped :'(

Rance also out, with Grimes & Kingy to come in.

nickstiges · March 26, 2014, 06:47:18 PM

Foot injury for Rance, hope it's just a minor one.

BigMac_93 · March 26, 2014, 07:01:56 PM

dissaponted to not see Knights get named again.

Nige · March 26, 2014, 07:38:12 PM

Knights not getting a game sucks.

Az Edwards stiff after kicking six in the VFL.

Gutted that Donuts was dropped.

Good ins though, happy to see Grimesy and Push-Up in.

quinny88 · March 27, 2014, 01:42:06 PM

Rance is a big out but I rate Grimes very highly and think he will get the job done on his match up.
Tiges by 20

Jroo · March 27, 2014, 04:54:38 PM

Two big outs for the Blues, with Matthew Kreuzer and Matthew Watson out for tonight's clash.
Buckley and Rowe in.
