Speculation about changes for Dream Time v The Tigs

Will get a better understanding of Ruttens coaching ability. History shows there is a pretty good chance an ex assistant usually gets the win.

Poor Tippa gets dragged into these Dreamtime press conferences. Can see the poor guy is so nervous and hates the camera - does pretty well though considering.

2 media flogs ask him about not kicking goals in the matches we lose, but he just chose to ignore the questions, which I think is good. He and the coaches would be aware of it and talking about it behind closed doors, no need to answer to the media about it, IMO.

Geelong did something similar against them last year to. If Geelong where underpressure they didn’t kick long down the line. Rather they kicked along the ground. Kaos balls the commentators where calling them.

Port did that to WC and beat them this year also

My thoughts

Saad hooker Ambrose
Redman Hurley McKenna
McGrath parish. Heppell
Stringer brown zaka
Tippa Jordan Baguley
Belly. Merrett. Shiel
Langford Francis guelfi Begley
Laverne. Mcniece Ridley D.Clarke

In brown
Out mcniece

Clarke. Brown. Ridley. Mozzie

Not fussed who goes out non performers would be the ones

Not sure why McNeice is an auto out? Didn’t do much wrong and Tigers certainly have plenty of smaller forwards.

And certainly not for Brown

I’ve heard he doesn’t have a say in selection.

If that’s true, we should shut the club down.

People wanting a tall (Smack or Brown) for a small (McNeice) need to realise that Richmond are a small team and it’s forecast to rain a fair bit on Saturday.

Not sure we would want to go in any taller than we already are

We are wet weather specialists.

I tend to disagree but yeah you don’t add a tall if it’s going to be wet

You do know what happened to the last person that disagreed with me?

You’ve possibly missed the sarcasm.

Did you just say ‘bring in Mozzie’?

As if he isn’t one of the match committee!

Yes. Richmond’s system is actually one of the more straightforward ones, both positionally and in it’s implementation, and they don’t have a Plan B
Disrupt the direction of their rolling melees, or move the ball laterally, or deny their backs time to cover each other, and their system falls apart.
There’s actually a lot to exploit, particularly without the GOAT Rance to cover holes.
The Doggies on their day are a very good rolling scrimmage side, Geelong is very good at the short 45 degree kick to retain possession; both are effective counters.
The Eagles three talls forward has also troubled them at times - I reckon that’s what the Match Committee will be discussing re Smack

Fark what the Tigers do, it’s about what we do.

That people don’t want a second tall, after the farking shambles vs the Swans/Cats, is beyond me. We NEED players who can take contested marks up forward and down the line.

Smack will play.
