Melbourne are going to struggle to kick a score with so many of our talls out but Richmond are no Hawthorn.

E:and I think we are only running one draftee and one new rookie so not sure where the idea that we have selected young is coming from :confused:

I think it entirely depends on what Melbourne turns up tonight. If Melbourne are ready to put in a four quarter effort then I don't think Richmond has the abilty to blow them away without riewoldt or maric. If it's the melbourne that turned up in rounds one and two last year then yeah, the auckland under 12 girls netball team could flog them.

previous Paul roos teams haven't ever done well during preseason games so there's also that

My mate said he's going to put money on the Lions for the spoon after last night, hope he puts heaps on it.

Can't read too much into the game tonight but hopefully Melbourne look a bit better (or still awful, either works).

Thats true, from memory hes on record saying that he doesnt count it for poo poo so he will just use it as part of the preseason as he sees fit. I wouldn't be surprised if he altered that stance this year though as I don't think he would see the group getting smashed yet again as a good way to start things off.

That was a less than horendous quarter, we probably had the better of general play for a fair chunk of the quarter.

The Demons look extremely different in playstyle from last years iteration which is definitely a plus. Pretty impressive so far really.

Howe is a Good Forward.

Doubt it will happen with him being the tertiary target in a healthy forward line. His kicking has gotten a lot better in the last two years though.

Edit: cant really complain with being one goal down at half time. If we hold up this level for the second half rather than our trademark brainfade I'll be pretty pleased by the night. The non-score stats are a lot better too. Actually winning possessions, what the gently caress?

If you get run down in a tackle by someone who looks like Spencer it should be a free goal.
