Title: Round 15 Discussion
Post by: Jroo on July 01, 2013, 02:56:27 PM
Massive game against the Roos this week.
Maric, Tuck, Petterd, Vlastuin will all be pushing for selection. But who will come out of the side?
Lindsay Thomas will be out for the Roos, being suspended for two weeks for his head but  ::)

Hoping Arnot stays in the team, but with guys like Tuck and Vlas pushing for selection, I don't like his chances. :-\

Mummy is still out for Sydney, so I want Orren to stay in for Worlds. :P I thought he played well too, but you'd think if Maric was to come back in, Orren would have to go out.

I'm not confident Arnot will stay in but him and Orren are the obivious candidates to miss out.

For memory they were one of the teams that we lost to by less than a goal, so I hope we smash them.

Yep, last year they beat us by a few points after Petrie dominated us in the last quarter.
I'd love to beat the Roos, we're pretty evenly matched and the game is at Ethiad, so it's going to be a close one I reckon.

No walk in the park this one. North are a good side, just not closing out games simllair to us last season. They can beat anyone on their day though.

Whats the deal with Grimes? I heard he may miss the rest of the season?  :o

Last I heard was he's out with a foot injury and will miss 5 more weeks.
EDIT: Found this on the Tigers' website, from last week.
Dylan Grimes   Foot   3-4 weeks

Where did you hear he may be out for the season?  :'(

Well that would be better than the season!
I heard it on SEN on the way home from the game on Sunday. Wasnt a report or anything, they were just talking about the selection headaches for Richmond with our depth and it was mentioned that Grimes likely to be missing the rest of the season keeps that spot open. Hopefully it was incorrect.

Seems like a family curse with these injuries.

Yep.  The Grimes curse started with great uncle Frank.
