    That well maybe the case after learning the current stadium deal whereby each of the MCG tenant clubs are required to play a home game at Etihad, will end next year when the AFL take full ownership of Etihad (Marvel).

      From what I've seen of Rose in ressies this year, he deserves this shot. He's played some sparkling footy and seems to have been working hard on his game. Good on him and hoping he plays well tonight - which wont be measured in possessions, but in the amount of forward pressure he can bring. A few goals would be nice too of course.

        Are first and second on the ladder playing tonight?
        The silence from the media is deafening.
        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
        Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

          Not happy about Rose. The last two NEAFL games have their streams up on YouTube. If you have time, then take a look at his little performance when he marks inside 50. He turns his back on his team mates and the goals, throws the ball on the ground in front of him, and walks towards it before putting his mouthguard in his sock and picking the ball up before turning around again. In the meantime, the other forwards could be leading into space during the entire time, but it seems to be all about Rose. If he does that tonight, expect to see the other players giving him a mouthful.

            We will, as will all interstate teams according to the AFL, in the wake of that totally bias and stupid deal to keep the GF at the MCG for the next 40 years......time will tell if the league keep this 'promise'.

              Yeah, one of my big gripes is players being unselfish 40m or closer from goal.

              Just. Take. The. Shot!

              Unless there is a really obvious risk free pass off to someone standing alone in the goal square.

                The club must have missed that..... .....and Rose was obviously confident he could slot the goal. Did he?

                  He does it every time. The first few I saw were goals but he kicked behinds from on the 50 a couple of times as well.

                    umpires are Finlay, Razor Ray and Stevic - grrr.

                    Are they still going to have 4 umpires like last round. I thought it worked quite well. The free kick count was even for once.

                      I thought you hated the bye week. Just wondering what feels better: being bloody nervous or bored to death?

                        Interestingly Rose could play quite a frustrating role for Richmond

                        I?m not saying he is the messiah but he is an energetic player that can get ona real roll

                        Can lead very hard
                        2nd quickest st the club I believe
                        Good hands high on the lead
                        Very random
                        Maybe the sneaky 1 or 2 goals needed in a close game
                        Good kick at goal

                        He is a difficult matchup given his strengths above

                        Like most top 28 players u can?t accurately assess until they get regular games and if Rose was on the list for GCsuns and got 30 games in Snrs he might provide a completely different player for us to evaluate

                        With Rose playing I wonder if a late change dropping McCartin might occur?

                              Here's Titus O'Reily's take on this fixture's venue......read this and more here: A highly unhelpful guide to Round Fifteen | Titus O'Reily

                              Richmond vs Sydney (ES) 7:20 PM

                              Let?s get this straight, this game is at Etihad Stadium, but Carlton-Port Adelaide is at the MCG?

                              The work experience kid they got to do the fixture this season seems to have never watched football before. Not a huge change on previous years then.

                              Given Richmond?s allergic reaction to playing away from the MCG, Richmond fans won?t be happy.

                              Add to that they?ll have to go to Docklands, a suburb so sterile it makes Canberra seem vibrant and that?s a lot of angry Tigers supporters in the one place.

                              For the Swans, they?d probably have like to test themselves against the Tigers at the place Grand Finals get played. That would have been a sensible option for the AFL, to give interstate teams a chance to play there ahead of finals.

                              Ahhh, I see the problem now, it?s the sensible option. No wonder the AFL moved it to Etihad.

                              I think Sydney will win this.

                                Fair point that I had not considered. I hope you get in.
