Richmond aren't a fit side. Fremantle stayed in it and should roll them in the 2nd half

Freo are a much better side. Tigers are playing a young side so should do.

Surprised to hear Richmond have led 13 times at half-time this year, best in the league. Tells me they fall away badly and recent performance backs it uo

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Tigers missed quite a few easy ones that quarter, should be a few goals in front. It'll come back and bite 'em on the arse later.

Someone share please.

And the Saints and De Goey? Gee whiz. Former skipper Nick Riewoldt was only lukewarm to that idea on Thursday night, arguing the current list lacked the leaders to lay down the law culturally to De Goey.

If it’s true the Saints are into him, what are the Saints thinking?

Their recruiting in recent years on payers on biggish to big contracts — Dan Hannebery, Brad Hill, Brad Crouch and Zak Jones, for example — haven’t set the team alight and, let’s be honest, De Goey might be misunderstood but he is also a risky recruit at a time when the Saints can’t afford more risky recruiting.

Not sure which thread to post this in but if anybody is watching the tigers v feel match, I really hope Ratten has a massive general umpiring whinge soon - it’s done the tigers wonders.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Goal kicking abysmal.
Both teams trying to lose.

Anyone watching this game tonight.

For 2 and 1/2 quarters they basically weren’t paying too high.

Then within 5 minutes they paid a full ginnivan to Grimes and then a complete phantom one to Clark.

46 and 39 after 3 quarters lol

Under the roof.

Don't think Freo have the forward line to win this game with no Lobb, Fyfe off injured and Taberner struggling.

Richmond should win it from here but they have choked their last 2 games so you wouldn't be betting on them.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Here we come!

 

[BrutThough]

Freo wasting so many opportunities to take the lead.

 

[BrutThough]

Hard to see Richmond losing this now. Freo wasted so many chances.

 

[BrutThough]

That's more like it!

 

[George]

That spun back something shocking

 

[bergholt]

Would think Wood is higher than that. He’s been more than serviceable for us, handy player to keep around.

Yeah I don't mind him, can play a variety of roles to an ok level and also makes the twos more competitive. But if we're deciding it's time for some sort of mini-rebuild then I can't see us hanging onto a 29 year old gop.

 

[bergholt]

Rioli will kick the winner here

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Seems like a pretty dodgy medical sub

 

[BrutThough]

Not the time to spill a mark Brayshaw

 

[BrutThough]

Richmond just blew 2 golden opportunities.

 

[George]

Well we can go half a game clear by Sunday night lol

Game really deserved a draw

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Geez, a bloody comedy of errors!

 

[lewdogs]

Good result

 

[Plugger35]

Wow what a finish.

A draw is probably just as good as a Richmond loss for us.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Seems like a pretty dodgy medical sub

My thoughts exactly
Didn't look like any problem with the guy who came off.
