Richmond

Methinks we are a great chance of beating Richmoind this week particularly if we get Cressa back. Mick and Saddo are also a chance.

They really seem to have their injury woes with Stafford, Hall, Coughlan and Campbell all doubtful.

Add in the curse of Subi, in that all teams returning from WA have lost the following week.

Who's going to stop Richo??? As always the first 10 - 15 mins. of the game are critical with him, get him frustrated and he'll stay that way for the game, if he get's his hands on it I think we will be in trouble coz I can't think of anyone who will be able to stop him.

Hopefully Richo stops Richo.

[Skells]

I want Richo to kick as straight as he did at the practice match at the SCG earlier this year. With any luck he will only get a few kicks though.

And if Richmond are going to fall over and finish in their usual 9th place, this is the sort of game they need to lose.

The important thing is to stop the supply to Richo. Hopefully our midfield will get on top so that he gets limited opportunities, same as with BBBBH last week.

If Magic, Cressa and Saddo are back who will we drop? My guess will be Powell, LRT and Stevens. I know that all 3 deserve chances but the Swans match committee has a history of dropping players like these and leaving in Warfe, Fosdike etc.

[penga]

i agree with u in that they would normally drop these players, but i hope they drop stevens, warfe and o'keefe instead... stevens and o'keefe should deserve another run in the next couple of weeks...

I was interested to read that Roos called in all the players this week for a one on one to discuss the performance in Canberra.

Great team management - you get the players perspective on the poor performance and you can discuss individual performance privately. I think Roos also wanted to get a feel for whether it was the structure and assigned roles that went wrong or the team performance. Seemed to be performance to me.

Hopefully the guys will lift and Hall can put some tall pressure on the Tigers. Richo's performance is almost out of the defenders hands - he'll bag 'em or he'll spray 'em. Staff could hurt us and that little guy Rodan is dangerous. Wonder who will get the job on him?

[RogueSwan]

...that little guy Rodan is dangerous. Wonder who will get the job on him?

Good question, maybe Irish, he has being playing down back recently and has the pace maybe not the smarts to match a quality crumber.
Any other ideas?

[Roscoe]

No doubt that Crouch will be smarting after being well beaten by Harvey last week.

Hopefully he is given first crack at him.

Andrew Kraouker will be a handful as well.

This is where Fixter would be handy.

Kirk will tag one of their gun midfielders - maybe Campbell (if fit)

Saddington must take Richo

Thank Christ Ottens and Holland are still injured.

Kane Johnston is a dangerman - who will get him

[Eats]

Richo

I think Saddo will get first crack at Richo with crouch on Roden.

Staff is a worry if he plays also Ray Hall maybe shaubs will get these guys he did pretty well on Rocca last week.

I think they might have more matchup worries with our forward line anyway.

Good call. I think that he pretty much did - great work by Craig Bolton and Maxfield on him, but he looked as though he lost the plot after Maxfield shirt-fronted him.

i hate it when players play for a free kick, but that was hilarious... maxy had his eyes on the ump as he went down and the cheeky grin he had after was very funny
