I hope some on here heeded my warning there was no way known I was backing the Eagles today and the key player injury list from hell just got worse.
Le Cras almost certainly has a broken arm, Glass injured, McKenzie hamstring, on top of Rosa, Naitanui , Kerr, Wellingham. Poor Le Cras can't catch a break at the moment after coming off a blistering pre season he now breaks his arm, the only good thing is that he will still be able to run so he shouldn't lose too much fitness but to lose him McKenzie and possibly Glass on top of the injuries we already have is far from ideal to say the least.

There are some players who are really going to have to respond to the challenge that lies before them  now but thats the price you pay when you dominate much of the first half and fail to reflect that domination on the scoreboard as they should have been far enough in front to make it extremely diffiuclt for the dockers to get back into the game. The few positives from the game was the outstanding form of Kennedy, Priddis and that Embley got through the game safely and will be better for the hitout and that we have a decent break now and don't have to travel for the next game which will hopefully allow Glass at least to recover and Cripps debut was sound. What I found puzzling however was why pick Lycett and then give himn very little game time, not much point playing a big second ruckman if you're not going tp give them the game time necessary to give Cox a decent breather I would have thought but no excuses the dockers second half was terrific and they're much improved again and pearce is potentially an outstanding pick up but don't go off soon on the recruit of the year tag hopefully Wellingham once he gets up and going will prove to the be the extra gun the Eagles need.

im on richmond for plenty..will win

IMO

this is the year ..top 4 looms imo

iv said it before tho

I think Richmond need to win this game if they want to finish 9th this year..........

surely The Tigers are due to win this game - nothing lasts forever (except the Raiders beating the Dragons in Canberra - 13 years in a row now )

GO TIGERS

told youse

will be lindt bunnies coming out of my arse if they win

get in the cue

anyone gonna be taking the $5 odds multi specials Betfair are throwing out? Max stake $20, only need to land 1 in 5 to break even, don't think that will be too much to ask I think I'll be getting on board these specials.

How can the blues kick enough score? Not enough up forward, have some ball winners but no pace in there. When it rebounds the yellow & black will be too good going forward
2 games so far this year, outside pace wins both games, get used to following that system in 2013

No pace? Murphy, Judd, Simpson, Garlett, Yarran, Betts and Walker aren't exactly slow and Cotchin up against the best tagger going around. Deledio has Gibbs to worry about. If Cotchin and Dildo don't star who in their midfield can break the game open?
