Game Day 2nd Semi Final, 2020: Richmond v St.Kilda

[Plugger35]

Like Riewoldt and Montagna said on the Fox preview last night we have to get up in Richmond's grill tonight, put the pressure on them and hopefully create some turnover goals, it might cost us some easy goals out the back but that's the only way we can beat them, if we just sit back and try to defend we might limit the damage but we won't win.

I'd rather we risked a 10 goal belting to have a chance of winning than have a more respectable 5 goal loss but give ourselves no chance of winning.

Pretty sure Ratten will be going for the attack to win option as that's the way he coaches unlike Richo who would be going for the limit the damage option.

That's probably a moot point though, if Richo was still coaching us we wouldn't be playing finals we would be on our end of season trip.

No nerves. I dont really expect to win.
Had you said we would reach the 2nd week of finals i would have asked what drugs you were on.
Free hit. So if we pull off a miracle, awesome. If not, it's not the end of the world.

As a supporter that’s a great mindset to have. Wish I could share it but I keep dreaming. I blame all the positive people here.

Well just finished work for the day. The challenge now is to not start drinking too early. Maybe slip down to the local bowlsy for a burger and a slowww pint of guiness or two. Who am i kidding, gonna be trashed by 4pm. Then, a bit like the saints last week, try to hold on to make it through to the end! Go Saints!!!

I like your style mate

There's more mofo's telling everyone not to melt than there are people who actually melt these days.

Boring.

Melt away if we lose, melt if we win.

I wanna see the passion flow.

It's been a long time since I've posted but there is something about this side that brought me back. It really helped that I had the chance to watch most of the matches this year as all the Sports Channels in America were starving for content.

Plus it's great for us to have an ALFW side that plays at Linton St. From what I saw on the Saints site it looked like there were some pretty good crowds for their games. Well done.

Game is on at 4:30am my time so I'm going to turn my phone and computer off and fire up the DVR around 8am.

I feel this Gainzo - I’m in New York. Sadly my day tomorrow (friday) starts at 7am so ive switched off all non- work app notifications and will have to get through my workday before watching on ~14 hour delay. Was great reading all the fire up posts on here before bed - good luck sainters and enjoy the ride mates!

Couldn't agree more its footy not lawn bowls

Three hours and twenty minutes left. It’s not the fact I have to work. It’s the fact I can’t spend all day on here with you fine folk...... not that that’s stopping me. At least if I’m wfh they can’t tell me off for being on my phone at work.

I have lot of holiday time to burn (3 and a half weeks) so I took tomorrow off as soon as the Saints beat the Dogs. You know how it is over here with holiday time. Use it or lose it.

Be strong mate. Don't look at the score! I even told my family not to contact me.

Just bet burpees with my Richmond supporting personal trainer.

Tigers win = I do 1 burpee for every point they win by.
Saints win = He does 1.5 burpees for every point we win by.

Was hoping we can steal it, now I wanna smash 'em by 10 goals haha

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I’ve got a dentist appointment at 4:30. Hope the drugs wear off before game time. I need to get a few settlers in.

I’m excited, is what I’m saying...

I see Simpson's memes aren't just a brissy board thing.

Go get em Sainters. You have the whole afl community minus richmond fans behind you tonight. Take it up to these bloody posers.

 

[Thurlo]

Good luck tonight guys.

I know it is stacked against you but I really hope you pull it out of the hat. I love Ratts and hope to see him do well as head coach again and after what happened last week with Paddy Ryder it would be nice to see a few things go your way! Good luck and give them hell!

About to knock off work and head from he City to the Coast.

Quietly optimistic, which is making me nervous. We literally have nothing to loose - which is dangerous for them.

The longer we hang in there, the more the pressure comes for the Tigers.

Can not wait!!!

 

[Arsene Wenger]

All the best tonight Sainters. Really hoping you can do well and get a win. For a special member of my family who is a big saints man. That said, should you get it done, there will be no well wishes next week. Go well.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Here’s an interesting stat: it has been 22 years since we lost a semi final.

Good luck Richmond.

I'm backing the coach in.

I just reckon they have this completely sussed.

Just need the 22 to execute.

That's called a value-add my friend.

Tell them that you are like an elephant and require twice the normal dose.
