WB Game Day V Richmond R7 2021

[Topdog]

While English has some good attributes, he is nowhere near the talent that is Naughton.

I actually believe that Naughton is our most naturally talented. Speed, agility and natural aggression that is a very rare combination and he can also do it in the air and at ground level.

Different kind of talents though as i believe the others are talking about football talents whilst you are referring to athletic talent.

I'm pretty sure he was saying Naughts can do anything (everything).

and Naughts has football talent to go with his athletic talent.

Just a pity he can't kick straight 30 metre out.

It is the flaw in his game.

I really need Twodogs to spend some time with him and teach him a consistent technique and have him become a 70% chance with every shot.

He has never been an amazing field kick either which was more of an issue in defence

Bevo not shutting down the will JUH debut this week talk in and interview today is interesting. In the past he has basically said he's not ready. Today he said he'll be considered. I think he's going unleash the Marra!

[Rocket Science]

Conceivably nothing, but a spot of wink nudge from Marra too perhaps ...

[Vred]

Oh boy. JUH in, Martin full time ruck, Bruce as back up, lets go..

Lovely touch by Bevo and the club.

That is so lovely. The families go through so much with the ups and downs of their sons careers. Great to see a mother speak so beautifully about her son.

I hope that the mums are better acknowledged next week (Mother’s Day) in this kind of style. I was really disappointed in the social media last year. “Who’s the biggest mumma’s boy?” Such a silly and outdated concept trivialising all the mums who’ve been there for the dirty jumpers, the scratched knees, the 8am games at Hoppers Crossing in August. They deserve more respect than the “mumma’s boy” tag which is honestly what year 9 boys tease each other about.

Game day!

Really excited about tonight's game and what we will learn about our team. We've been ultra impressive so far, but except from the WC game we haven't really been tested by a high quality team... of which Richmond are.

We catch them at a good time with Martin, Prestia, Lambert & Vlaustin (who all sit within their best 10 players) missing, but lots of pieces to their puzzle are still in place, and their game style which when in full flight places as much pressure on the opposition as anyone in the game.

Given Richmond's outs we really should hold ascendency in the middle of the ground, but still need to be wary of the likes of Cotchin, Edwards & Graham who are very good players. We need to be clean & efficient with our ball use to work our way through Richmond's frontal pressure because if we don't we could be exposed by Richmond's speed across the ground and their tall forwards.

Really need our mids & forwards to work their butts off when we don't have the ball as I see this as the only area of the game to where we can falter... the likes of Short, Houli & Baker need to be kept in a tight leash so hopefully West, Scott, JJ & Hunter give them the respect they deserve.

I'm confident that if we bring our best we will beat Richmond, but it's a huge test to how mature the group is... Go Dogs!!

[comrade]

These are the days you dream of as a footy fan.

Friday night, spot on weather, undefeated, top of the ladder, up against the competition heavyweight.

A perfect test for our group.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Pity Tigers are not at their best for our sake.
Whatever we can only beat who they serve up.
