Round 1: Game Previews/Reviews + General Discussion

[Thiele]

Richmond skills are awful

[Pup]

Different Year, Same Old Richmond.

Skills were atrocious, some of the times Simmonds and Foley and co coughed the ball up in that second term was embarrassing. Such a big build up and they come out and dish up that rubbish. Carlton were pretty good, Murphy, Judd and Gibbs good as always, Wiggins outstanding apart from his goal kicking and a few good signs from the youngsters. Probably the best thing was that Fevola only kicked 2 yet they still won convincingly with a very high score.

Cousins and Raines both under clouds with Cousins cloud looking like a 3-5 week cloud which will be a worry, hopefully it pulls up better than expected. Geelong and the Bulldogs in the next 2 weeks for Richmond, they are likely to be 0-3 and then the heat will really start to turn on to Plough.

Yeah he did do alright. Good not great, he is always a big possesion winner even when he does not have a great impact. I only mentioned him yesterday because as you said has had a limited Pre Season. I was not questioning his spot in the best 22.

Carlton over the next 2 years and beyond are really going to be a treat to watch.

Kreuzer to Judd, Murphy and Gibbs is going to be something special IMO.

[Dirko]

Nah mate I was kind of surprised he was named as well...Just glad he made it through.

[JK]

I'm actually starting to get a gut feel that leads me toward the Tiges now ... Hope Im wrong as I backed the Blues, but I reckon if Richmond keep Fevola relatively quiet they're virtually home, and if not they still have decent forward options of their own.

This is why Im such a good tipster

[hearts on fire]

I fell asleep at three quarter time, how many disposals did Judd and Cousins get?

IIRC Juddy got 23 disposals, kicked 2 goals, 1 mark & 6 tackles and was one of our better players.
Cuz got 12 disposals, 2 marks, 3 tackles no goals and 1 snapped hamstring.....

Thanks REB, was just looking to see if we did beat them. Richmond have it over the Power, also thrashed em not to long ago by 86 points or there abouts with Pettifer showing the Power the ball walking into the open goal. That was an average game by port, maybe there only one tho

[hearts on fire]

What a great game of footy last night, once again i fell asleep at the start of the final term but what i watched was great!! I wish i saw the final quarter.

[hearts on fire]

So far i have 5/7 for the round, i hope the Dockers can get up against the Doggies.

[GWW]

W Bulldogs up by 6 goals at half time, not looking good for Freo.

No..

But looking good for my youngest son who will be getting 8 out of 8 in the family footy tips this week,
as well as getting the closest margin in the Geelong/Hawthorn game (The game of the round we picked for margin/extra tipping points)
