Sydney V Richmond pre game thread (with teams)

Am I only the only one who thinks we might actually lose this game? Scary thought.

Richmond would have to be a real chance at winning this game. In fact if we play like we did against Collingwood we haven't got a hope. But as they say - a week is a long time in football - let's hope that we can turn things around by the time this week's match begins.

I've certainly thought the same thing...

I'd like to see these 5 changes...but it won't happen.

I think it'll be -
OUT: Bevan, Jetta, Shaw
In: Bradshaw, Kennelly, TDL

Bradshaw and Kennelly obviously if fit. If not Out Bevan, Jetta - In Vespremi, TDL.

Except for the goal which we didnt think he could get didnt doo a lot else. Now to slow his kicking lacks penetration and his handballs no longer hurt anyone. His second shot for goal or should I say he should have shot it at goal again was a dreadful pass. Currie wasnt much chop in the reserves from what we could see. Saw most of the game. Sumner was good as well. I think Vez may be out injured next week.

Re Bird, it was a poor match up with Shaw. Bird is excellent in traffic and his ability to extract the ball in some tight situations in the latter part of the match is part of what got us going again. He can and should be included as part of our midfield rotation.

Re Vez, he seems to have the unhappy nack of getting injured at the worst times.

A massive danger game IMO and if we dont get it right at the selection table this week I am thinking the same as well

As part of plans for the future, Bird should spend more time in midfield - use Kirk up forward a bit - he was a good forward before his stellar rise as a defensive mid fielder

nervous nellies were predicting we'd lose to port and the bombers a few weeks back as well.

we will beat the tigers comfortably, we are a class above them
