Reckon C. Guthrie should be available for this clash which helps.

Hopefully Cockatoo pulled up okay and is right to go again

Heard that Jones is a sneaky chance to make his debut!

 

[Deep]

Go Adelaide
Cause Richmond got an easy draw and favoured by umpires yesterday
Also because the dude in the middle of my picture would want them to win

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Go Crows!

[year of the cat]

Against my better judgement (as I reckon their supporters will break the internet), GO TIGERS!

 

[cats_09]

Go Crows because otherwise it's going to be impossible living in Victoria over the next 6 months - and then even during season 2018 we will be continually reminded Richmond are premiers who will 10peat and be the best team to ever exist

 

[Pivo]

I reckon this is a good match up.

While I'm far from f**king happy about the way we got knocked out, being a born and bread South Australian means I do have a soft spot for the Crows.

I'm also glad the Tigers did the right thing and kept GWS at bay for another year.

The crowd will be heaving so there should be plenty of atmosphere and it feels like it could be a close one.

I really don't have too many problems with either side winning it but I'll hop on the Crows bandwagon.

 

[Jeff76]

Hoping for a good game, I want an all in brawl, a streaker, and a kick after the siren to decide the game. But I actually think Crows by 60+.

 

[GeelongFTW]

crows will finish the game off by halftime.

 

[dazbroncos]

im taking up knitting... **** that game.. and besides there is no coverage over here.

Go Catters

 

[Spearman]

I seriously have no dog in this hunt, buuut I am disgusted by AFL and media favoritism toward the big Melbourne clubs. I seem to hear, even from Whately, "It's good for footy when Richmond are up and about." Usually only in the beginning of each year. I'll add a little mojo for the Crows.

 

[Gydafud]

Any other AFL members going along?

Born and bred in SA, soft spot for the Crows? They are a manufactured and plastic team. At least the PAFC are real and more respectable in every way possible as a club, but yes I've hopped on the Crows too because SA.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

I'll be cheering fior Adelaide , they are 725 kms away
Richmond flogs are already insufferable enough.....and they're right on my doorstep

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

This is the game we usually lose.....

Anyway, think we should bring in Buzza, play Hawkins CHF, Menzel deep, start Danger in the middle to get off to a good start, and unfortunately drop a tall because Richmonds forward line is full of quick little turds.

Bring it home cats!

 

[darren forssman]

Bring on the trade weeks and then preseason for me.

No interest in this game.

 

[1000steps]

Can't stand Richmond and their fans so go Crows. I think they will get screwed by the umpiring like Sydney last year, but will be good enough to get over the line anyway.

Go Catters

Pretty sure the game is being shown on ESPN3

Does anyone want to see Caddy with a premiership medal?

 

[leorex]

crows for me
do not want to suffer, yellow and black, terrible colours
too many of them

yack

 

[cats_09]

Does anyone want to see Caddy with a premiership medal?

Even worse - out of the two Riewoldts, do we really want Jack to be there one with a premiership medal?

 

[cats_09]

This, straight from Anthony Anderson who wrote the match panel rules, on how the MRP should "view" the Cotchin incident to insure he isn't suspended:

"In determining whether he's guilty or not they just have to say was he contesting the ball and did he have a realistic alternative way to contest the ball. If he's not guilty of an offence it doesn't matter how bad the consequences were to the victim player. He actually won the ball in the contest, so I'd think they'd be hard pressed to charge him or sustain a charge."

WTF - where has that reasoning been this year regarding players from certain teams? And I'm not talking about just us, but definitely questionable as that doesn't seem to apply across the board. How often has it been a case of, "Player X was hurt, so there must be a charge"

 

[Partridge]

Even worse - out of the two Riewoldts, do we really want Jack to be there one with a premiership medal?

Don't care about either eventuality to be honest.

I guess the board will embrace the thought of Walker as premiership captain instead.

 

[MarkCatsFan]

Go Crows, I'm gonna back them in to break our record and send the Tigers back to the shadows for another decade.

Crows by 126
