Cotchin and Astbury now both in doubt apparently.

SEN says they are “out” ?
sensible. Expect Rance or Grimes will get a rest next week.
yup said they were out, but who knows for sure this early?
It’s Thursday before a Friday night game, they’d have already done match committee yesterday I reckon.

good point.
If theres any doubt, rest them, this game is effectively a dead rubber for them. They need to ensure they are fit for finals.
It helps us also. So I have no problem with them, maybe even Rance and Dusty having a rest.
Sounds like you might have made the call a few minutes early. Astbury, Cochin, ( faux Brownlow winner) are the latest outs. Too many outs destabilises a team. We don’t know, until we know what our outs are.
Pannell & Margetts a couple of handy outs also

Their club focus is on 3wks time
Ours is on tomorrow night
It will be a huge factor

More than just the changes themselves, it opens up the idea of self preservation for the guys that are playing. Inclusions notwithstanding.
“we’re managing blokes cause we’ve got top spot sewn up, it’s not worth me risking injury”
We give it to them early and we’re every chance of putting them off their tucker for the night…

Hope they are throwing the game, trying to take the pressure off the MCG streak. Like our game against dogs in 2000
Has the potential to be. Be we have to force the issue. Gotta make them second guess just how hard they’re willing to go.
There is a risk for Richmond. If they go in too hard, they risk more injury. Their midfield is severely depleted.
We are massive underdogs, and we are the hunters.
Its coming together for us. But we have to give everything.
Chance that Nank misses again this week also.

Just tipped us by 49.
Have a feeling we will put tigers to the sword tomorrow night.
We should be Hungrier.
This is our Grand final.
Surely with Cotchin and Prestia out, our midfield should be stronger than theirs.
Still love to see someone run through Dusty - Tippa or Francis.
Caddy hasnt got the greatest tank, we need to make these guys work the other way… or make them look silly if they dont.
Confident Hurley will nullify Reiwoldt again.
Our small backs are pretty good, this is a good test for them.
Stringer is due for a big game. Played well against Tigers last time.
Maybe he will hit the mdifield again and crack 30 possessions and snag a couple of goals.
If Tippa can bag 5 goals again it will be handy. He’s only 5 goals behind Stringer now.
