WE oughta smash em, but, they will be seething after two weeks of utter humiliation, always a dangerous time to face a spewing team. Moore will be out, we will miss him badly, Fas to come in, or the big Yank, I guess. Despite the tiges having a real go, I just reckon we are playing much better footy now than they are, they are a train wreck, and we should eek out a win by around twenty points.

Pies by 48 points. |

Taylor adams, of course. The bloke we got for Heath Shaw. |
I wasn't suggesting we should undo any trade - I was pointing out that Heater took Richmond apart in a way none of our defenders could possibly do, given that Richmond are our opposition next week. But since you raise the comparison, I see that Adams has never had 26 kicks or 8 rebound 50s (and he sure as hell never had a day when he kicked at 100% efficiency - unless kicks onto the chest of an opposition player count), so what's the relevance of your comment? The point of my comment was that Richmond had been humiliated in large part because of the presence in the GWS defence of a kind of player we simply do not have (except, of course, when the Future Captain is back in the team, fully fit).
Shaw is averaging 22 kicks and 8 rebound 50s per game and his game against Richmond yesterday was just another average day at the office for him. No-one in their right mind would select Adams to play Shaw's position if Shaw were available - and you know that. |

Marsh certainly made some errors but I believe we can get the best out of him. He has come a long way and cultivating a player with his strengths has areal upside. Toovey is unfortunately past his best and is not the player that was rarely beaten. He is now part pf our past and not our future.
Marley on the other has has plateaued and I do not think he will take the next vital step in becoming a reasonable and reliable player.

I don't get the "Richmond will bounce back from an embarrassing performance thing".
They were absolutely terrible against the Hawks in the final quarter yet they didn't fight back from that embarrassment against GWS.
Shit club, shit coach, shit leaders, they are going nowhere.
They might put a fight up for 10 minutes against us but that will be about it.
Pies easily.
As for changes;
Out; Moore (inj), Williams (can't kick), Crocker
In; Cox/Fasolo (if Fas is fit he comes in), Goldsack, Blair (love child of Bucks)
Goldy offers us so much more than what Marley does at the moment. |

Why Crocker (just asking)? He has excellent skills and kicks straight. He's just a kid and got as much of or more of the ball as/than some of our expensive imports. I'd like to see him get some consecutive matches. |

Crocker has a huge future, but he's a first year player who doesn't provide much at senior level at the moment. Just can't see anyone else going out for Blair, who will return if fit. |

De Goey offers a little more than what Crocker does at the moment I reckon.
Averaging more possessions than Heeney (same draft class) yet is criticised highly by a lot of our fans. |

Shaw's kicks and R50s heavily inflated by playing on from a kick-in scenario but don't let that stop you. |

having seen quite a bit of both players' seasons i rate heeney's as better than your man's.

Cheap gut punch. Dunstall (I think it was) potted him on the broadcast.
