How does this fit with those claiming that Richo won't drop "favourites" or make changes post a win?

Acres should be in though. Before McKenzie and Savage.

And for the record, I still think Hickey over Longer.

Looking forward to Long. He can do some damage provided the pace of the game doesn't catch him off guard.

It looks like we are aiming for more run and pace this week but we also need to have our pressure at it's best.
I saw on the league teams program that we are last for set shots and overall accuracy, and this will need to improve to have a chance of beating top teams.

I'm guessing match committee went something like this...

Richo..."Our mid setup has been strong, Billy's appetite to compete and put pressure on the opposition has been really aggressive. The synergy of our stoppage group has been pleasing, and they've got it done, so we'll back 'em in, which is really pleasing and I expect another really strong performance.

Sexton..."but Longer has hardly touched the f**** footy and gives sweet ***** all around the ground....

Richo....weird grimace/sneer/smile..."he's getting it done...he's been strong, aggressive, caring for his teammates...he stays...

Sexton..."but some nuffies on saintsational will blow a gasket if we keep picking Longer"

Richo..."they can go get F****** he's been strong, aggressive, pleasing!!

Richo getting long primed for the Essendon game where the Long name is famous. If there is one game to get the lad excited it's this game.

Maybe gonna play Long as a small defender, he's got speed and pressure, and played there as a junior didn't he? match him up against Dan Rioli, bit of a family Reunion, and I'd be fine with that

DMac half back, Savage half forward maybe? Or they put them both half back and mix up Gilbo's role a bit

Yes he has played as small defender so you might be right

I think you are spot on. Tigers have a bevy of small forwards. Each of our three ins can play down there. Gilbo to wing or half forward, and maybe a run on the ball

Tigers have a bunch of smaller faster type players so these are logically the best changes to make. Really hope they dont pigeon Long into an ineffective role. The kid likes to run so hopefully plays up on a wing or a flank. Sav on a half forward would be good.

Well I guess the coaching staff also have no idea?
Many of us having been saying Mav and Dunstan had to go.
We were all told we had no idea, didn't understand the game and were being disloyal.

Don't mind the inclusions, but I'm stilled miffed about Acres and Hickey not getting a game.

Here's an idea out of left field.
Put Gilbo onto Rance.
Think about it. Gilbo will stick closer to Rance than my dog to a piece of steak.
This will allow Membrey and Baroose to take marks with less pressure.

Long to run with Daniel Rioli
