Mullett could be part of the defensive rotation too, along with O'Shea.
Our defenders are versatile enough to play up the ground if a small forward has too much pace. However, if we smash the Richmond forwards as we should, it will be Hardwick trying to come up with positional changes to negate our defenders.

Might have missed a couple DJ....Townsend and Graham will be starters for sure given their finals form.......strong units the both of them, maybe Castagna too is another who might play
Weitering is very slow...Caddy aint quick but I think would have our bloke covered for pace, Marchbank on Martin is also a worry for pace, I'd almost think about Jones when he plays forward.
We dont matchup very well with the new Richmond forward group IMO our traditional defenders are not quick and I reckon we need to win this game from the midfield and limit their forward entries, I just think if they get enough opportunities we wont be able to stop their small/mid forwards...
Kruezer, Cripps and crew have to dominate Nankervis , Cotchin etc.....you cant have players like Lambert getting 25 possies and sneaking down forward unmanned..
The other bloke who needs manning up is Houli.....he has run us ragged last few games and is a driving force off half back, Bolton needs to life his game tactics wise and react a bit quicker to players who are hurting us...
The other aspect of our game that needs changing vs the Tigers is bombing the ball to Rance and Astbury who just intercept mark too easy....frustrates me no end seeing those two take easy marks unopposed...

I'm not too worried about Castagna, he'd have to be the worst shot for goal going around at the moment.
You're right though, the keys to victory are dominating the midfield and minimising their rebound 50s.

Personnel aside, I think that will indeed be the essence of this game EB. We need base our game first of all on shutting them down by tackling hard, winning contested ball and chasing hard when they have possession. In addition we must improve our disposal generally, move the ball into attack more quickly and avoid costly turnovers at all costs. In fact, pretty much what we've been asking for for a long time. Hopefully we have developed and found some more of the horses to enable us to do that now.

I think we will go for some experience over a newbie like Dow initially....
I just remember Samo last year. Zero preseason. Played round 1. Weit, etc. Played round 1 the year before also. Dow could still be injured though.

I went to a wine gig at the G tonight. Spoke to several tigers' fans. All said yeah, we're pretty ordinary, we just got lucky.
Let's remember that.
Re: Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game - flyboy77 - 12-13-2017
It's clearly getting tough for spots.
Several players who can fill various roles etc.
I think of the new blokes to CFC in 2018, Kennedy and Land are certainties in the 22, Garlett, O'Shea and O'Brien are highly likely.
Who misses out is the tough part....

I must not be too nice at Christmas, I have duty to balance the force, otherwise I'd be inclined to agree!
Re: Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game - Debster - 12-13-2017
I want O'Shea marking Rance tightly and Weiters or DeKoning to stand Astbury and told to block them & spoil at all costs. Make them earn their possessions. We can't take the Richmond backline lightly...it is their great strength.
I want a player with size & a fearful prescence ala 'Duke' Spalding to create some carnage in the Tigers backline. I will be filthy if McKay gets double-teamed in rnd.1 just because Bolton is still perfecting match-ups up the ground...or trialling a small forwardline which gets out-marked all night.
