    Re: Round 5 2008 Match Preview. Dogs v Tiges

    Round Five has rolled around, finally, and we are about to have one of our pre-season prediction threads answered (how many points will be beat Richmond by?). How is everyone feeling about their predictions at this point?

    Who'll come in for him? Would Callan Ward be ready to take the step? Or would it be a like for like exchange, ie. one of our younger talls/goalsneaks?

    Skipper would be the replacement. Not as mobile or clever at ground level but can help with the making side of Johnno's game.

    Can't find a short player like Johnno so play a tall.

    Not good signs, particularly Johnno.
    Why didn't Aker train?

    As I said on another thread, I'd give Johnson the week off. It's a test for the players to cope without him. We really need Johnno to find some form in the coming weeks as we have some big challenges coming up, the first of which begins with Sydney. He hasn't been in good touch, so perhaps a week off would serve him well.

    Thigh injury... (as in thread in Dog's day forum, 'Dogs keeping..)

    On Johnno one thing I have noticed over the past 2 weeks has been his inability to bend to pick up the ball off the ground. Would this be due to this injury or just his poor flexibility?

    Johnno copped a hip injury then followed by a corkie so that may help to explain.

    IMO, there are no easy matches at all. We saw on the weekend that any one can a game ( except maybe Demons), but I know what you mean. We have some interstate matches coming up with the Sydney trip being the toughest. Lets get over this week first.

    I think they might play him on a wing so it could be Eagleton or even someone like Giansiracusa.

    Possibly Gia or Aker, but he'll spend a fair bit of time on his old adversary, space.
    To be honest I like most of our match ups on him, aside from maybe Eagleton.

    Doesnt matter who he plays on because he doesnt, i never saw him ever beat someone, his strength is running past and bouncing, did he ever deliver a ball properly?
    Whoever he plays on should be ecstatic because they wont get tagged, all they have to know is if we dont get the ball he will be on the back flank running away with it.

    Nathan Brown is still a dangerous player, who will pick him up?

    A Richmond supporter said Hill which would be hilarious.

    Really we have to use McMahon's man on the turnover and Hill is good at finding a paddock of space
