Richmond almost full strength playing at a ground they haven’t lost at for nearly 2 years against a side with injury problems and unable to win at the MCG, what could possibly go wrong :(

I think your a chance Jimbo..... No Prestia or Lambo (highly underrated player) for us means we will be running some kids through the mids most of the night. Will be a good game, just have a feeling were gonna drop one of these last 2 games on the run in.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Ditto mate. Wouldn't surprise me if the Dons get us, can't see us losing to the Dogs though. Lambert horrendously underrated throughout the comp and we would be stupid to take any risk with Prestia. Not sold on Lloyd or Menadue as replacements, would like to see Corey Ellis get another shot and Miles to add some inside grunt.

I thought it's shows how well GWS and Collingwood have done to maintain their spots in the top 4 and it shows why Richmond have been able to maintain their gap between them and the rest.

Also demonstrates why the Bulldogs haven't been able to get any continuity.

Finally, you obviously don't look at many stats. ;)

Just because a player, say Lindsay Thomas, has played 250 odd games and is coming to the end of their career doesn’t mean they are more important to the team than a player that is missing who has played 50 games.

Yeah I'm with you mate. Useless stat. Most stats are useless actually.

In isolation I agree, but in Collingwood's case I think it shows how well they've done to be where they are.
