excellent response. i give you 10/10 for that
Any radio/media coverage? (Apart from DJR & other Blitzers)
State game broadcast confirmed that Hind turned up as emergency, but has been released to play vs Richmond.
Presumably that applies to Boyse too.
Captain Jack Are you at the royal ?
There are about 30 Richmond guys here at the royal. Maybe 2 bombers.
6 or so Richmond players “warming up”
Breeze will favour railway end. Blowing diAgonally across the ground.
Wind is from north averaging 20 KMPH gusting to 35. Remember this speed is 10 m above ground level as standard. It’s lower at ground level and in the Lee of the stand complex which runs down the length of the ground. But the stand introduces turbulence, so it’s not easy, but it’s the better side when kicking against the wind.
But most of the time the wind is (currently) down, anyway. Otherwise perfect conditions.
Open the gate for the fifty early arrivals!
They may not be checking very hard too see if you paid for entry…
Can confirm Boyse and HepA are playing!
Looks like Draper will be #1 ruck. McKernan and Francis are back from injury.
Lil hepp starting on the bench, right to go.
Francis a slow practice walk-in and he kicks from just over 55 out. Goes through two-thirds up (and between) the goal posts.
No apparent wind at the time.
We’re wearing red on red, like last week.
Richmond indigs doing the Aussie haka
Formalities complete now pregame practice/ warmup
I Took me a moment to figure out if it was the Richmond players doing it or amateurs/performers/???
Just walked in behind Woosha. I paid, he got waved through.
We’re kicking to the Punt Road end. Francis is forward.
Langford Bird Clarke Draper start in the middle.
Long and Mutch on the wings.
