Re: Round 14: Pre-Game Richmond - mateinone - 06-19-2017
If Casboult plays (and there is no reason to assume that he won't) and if Rance plays on him, then we need Casboult to do what Carey used to do to us. Lead away from the play, act as a decoy and the lads need to keep the ball away from him.
Keeping Rance away from the drop of the ball isn't going to be easy but if we manage that I think it gives the rest of our forwards the best chance of kicking a winning score.
Richmond can be kept to low scores and have been kept to about 76 or below in all of their losses this year. We just have to make sure they don't get a big start like the Kangas did. If we keep it tight we can win this game.
Their midfield is extremely dangerous though and we need to match them in the contested possession.

I've a feeling Rance will go to Charlie Curnow.
Clubs deal with Casboult by taking away his run at the pack, it was a glaring omission from the recent GC and GWS, you don't need a guy his height just a player heavy enough to wrestle with him behind play. I reckon Astbury or Grimes will get Casboult.
But one thing, I believe we can stretch Nthmond right across the ground, they do not look that big at the moment!

I can't believe we have lost 5 in a row to these peasants. Got to do something about that!

For something a bit different I would put Jones on Rance and tell him not to worry about goals but to play Rance like you played Lynch etc. Deny Rance any freedom in the back line and you're well on the way to beating the Richmond.
Weiters or Marchbank can look after Jack.

We've had some of the top rated players on the ground in recent times, but our middle tier and bottom end players have been smashed.
An aside, how was Tony Jones at the weekend having a dig at Carlton for not promoting the game, it's a Nthmond home game for a start!

Would you want our back-line disrupted after the last few games?
I'd leave Jones on Riewoldt, and keep Marchbank and Weitering free to do their intercept marking thing which by reckoning they are just about better than Rance at doing!

Don't forget the Plow and the Doc for intercept marking prowess!

Agreed.
I think Jones can clearly disrupt Jumping Jack, Jones has the closing speed and the leap as long as he can maintain proximity with Jack.
Posters under-rate Riewoldt, but you do that at your peril, straight line or lateral leads won't work against Jones, so I expect clever Jack to be repeat leading like a chook with his head cut off. His running patterns will look like a bowl of spaghetti by the final siren. He may even try to drag Jones way up the field to turn him back towards goal.
