I think this game is a MASSIVE acid test for Knights.

Richmond are a team which are young, do not have the big bodies and are not experienced.

We have no excuse to not be competitive.

We also have a decent team in.... Mcphee/NLM/Watson should make a big impact, thats an injection of experience. those 3/4th year players that need to lift.

We've brought some experienced players in, but we also dropped two of our most experienced players in Michael and Rama. I don't think the team we're fielding this week is any more competitive than the one we fielded last week. That said, i do agree that if we get flogged by Richmond it will be the biggest indictment on us for the season thus far, particularly if Richmond's average players carve us up. If Richo and Nathan Brown have 50 disposals and 8+ goals between them then so be it, but we'll hit an all time low if those guys play average games and we still get hammered.

Sorry mate you are deluded.

We will lose by another huge margin and Richo will tear us a new one.

Richmond have shortened to $2.70 to beat us by more than 39.5. In other words, we are close to even money to get a flogging.

Still, I'm heading along for a gander. I've been brushing up on adjectives this week - it's a shame Laycock isn't playing.

With the Tigers having a relatively weak defence, I'm looking forward to seeing us kick some goals!

ok, so they might kick a bucket too....

you would hope lloyd would find the sticks(and the ball). if not hopefully neagle gets a couple.

Last time I had faith and parted with some cash I swore I would never back them again.

But thats been said before. I have had $100 on them (why oh why I dont know) but i am backing them to get up on the night and show everone that they are not as bad as they have been showing. $3 was good enough value for me and although Richmond have been playing well I am hoping for an inspirational showing and the spirit of the night (and maybe a quiet word from Longy) to give the boys a bit of fight and get them over the line...

Dont worry Megan if we lose I wont come anywhere near this board... Lesson learnt.

Playing with the TAB's money after a nice collect last week. Just sat down to get ready to see how the bet fairs only to find out West Coast on Channel 10 and west Coast on fox... Starting to really p..s me off.

Dont worry Ross if I am ever rolling in a shit load of cash will shout you all drinks each week when I fly over for the game, as that appears to be the only way I am ever going to get to watch the boys play...

WA, have contacted Foxtel before querying as to why they cant make main eevent available to any state that is not getting the game live and where the free to air station chooses the other game but 7 and 10 have them tied up with contracts and unlike when 9 and 10 had it and every game was shown 7 and 10 feel its best if we who pay for fox have no choice... Have no problem with 10 showing what they want but why stop fox from broadcasting the other game into that state?

Enough on that anyway, my bet looks like it is still stuck in the gate. Hoping for a better 3 quarters coming up. Sounds like we are being comprehensively beaten all over at the moment.
