Preview AFL 2017 - Prelim - Richmond v GWS, MCG, Sat, 4.45pm AEST

Lol. Yeah right. Joined in 1925 after dominating VFA Thats 92 years ago. And you're trying to draw a parallel. Lol. Stick with what you know champ. And enjoy Canberra.

How far back do you want to go? Probably should've stayed with the four original clubs. How many hand outs did your club get? Maybe you should buy a history book for our game or stick with ignorance. That looks like it would fit you like a glove.

Lol. You don't even know me fool. I've been around football at all levels for decades. So enjoy your moment at being AFL flavour of the month, then when you still have nobody turning up to your finals, and the AFL Run out of patience propping up a lost cause, it's off to Canberra. We've been in this comp for 92 years. You will struggle to get to 20 before your mob are nothing more than a trivia question. Now go away junior.

Sorry my apologies. I should bow to you for not knowing you? You're on an anonymous forum, and I'm a fool?!? You know how games get popular right? Teams join the game expands more fans join. Our game survives because it expands. You don't know who I am either. Hey, I know, resort to name calling. That'll prove your point. Actually, getting a little bored with sore winners. Enjoy your gifted premiership. Wonder when you'll be able to actually win one in the team's merits.

And btw, I've been around football "at all levels" since 88.

your pretty quick to call others a fool. You even claim to know about footy. I've never seen anything but childish resentment and irrational assertions in your posting though. I just dont beleive you, and no sensible person would.

What odds do you reckon I could for this two leg multi? GWS win, into an Angry Richmond supporter to invade the ground and fight Toby Greene?

 

[ItsGameTime]

I hope the plastics win this one. Not too sure though.

Winner out of this game will win the premiership

Richmond has home ground advantage, recent history shows mcg tenants beat interstate teams.

Recent history shows gws will not lose to Adelaide again (loser qf beats them in the gf)

 

[Jimthegreat]

After watching tonight doesn't matter who wins here. Both heading for a pumping.

Adelaide applied similar pressure to Geelong as Richmond did in the first 1 1/2 qtrs and scored freely unlike the Tigers, who had no idea how to score a goal until the last qtr despite similar dominance.

Swooper is fired up.

Still getting used to not being the AFLs fairytale?

They still tried
Only so much they can do.

Winner won't get anywhere near Adelaide. Richmond had one go this year and lost by 13 goals, could play it on the moon. GWS have had a couple of goes and were comfortably rolled both times.

Adelaide like geelong look a different force at home.

I'm not sold on the crows just yet.
Richmond play the mcg as good as anyone.
And if gws will make the gf , as recent history shows they are too good a team to lose again in the finals to the same team.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Game should start nearly 3 hours earlier.

 

[Colonial]

Would you consider depth being having a large number of the senior list being in and out of the 1s for the whole year, but still finishing 4th as having depth?

Eh?

I was being sarcastic.

Of course we have good depth.

All eyes on Wayne Campbell, Deledio Cameron, Richmond champions, don't be surprised if gws suddenly get a case of the runs Midway through second quarter after spiking the drinks with laxatives.

Your intense dislike of Richmond makes your comments invalid in my opinion.

Crows beat the Tiges at home after we won 5 in a row, Cats also lost that weekend after winning 5 in a row, the following weekend North of all teams beat the Crows away from Adelaide after there 6 in a row. Crows are a great side, but i'm not sold on them as head and shoulders above everyone else either.

 

[MightyTiger]

Who the **** cares about a result that happened almost 5 months ago, this is finals clean slate.

I'd back the tigers to beat Adelaide

I think this season apart from Sydney , no team travels that well. Geelong example tonight

 

[Maroo]

If legit then this is amazing!

I love that they're not even facing each other for an occasional bit of idle chit chat.

Grand Final is at the G not Adelaide Oval. Previous years, Dockers, West Coast, and Swans have played shit on Grand final Day,because
it was at the G. No doubt Crows are the best team in the comp BUT if Tigers beat GWS, they have a chance to win at home at the G!

 

[rfc4eva]

Simple weight of midfield numbers 6 to 2

1) Martin
2) Shiel/Kelly/Ward
3) Cotchin/Coniglio/Scully/Whitfield

Then it falls away

Richmond have a fractional edge in defence, GWS have the advantage up forward. Lobb & Nakervis cancel each other out.

Tag Cotchin, limit Martin to as many handballs as possible and this game is effectively over.

You are a tool.Are you that upset over dusty?

 

[rfc4eva]

Prestia and Caddy yes. Grigg had an easier time fitting into your side than ours. Their midfield depth is runs quite alot deeper.

Richmond's defence is great but will have a huge issue kicking goals again with their small forward line. To me it depends on whether GWS come to play as a champion team or a "team of champions" as to the result as their talent level is significant better. Means nothing if GWS don't come as a co-ordinated unit though. If they do you're done. You can bring the same pressure as 2 weeks ago but if you're 3 goals only near 3/4 time like you were then you're likely to be chasing a fair deficit in the last qtr.

Played Adelaide and Geelong in the last 3 weeks and got smashed in both.Yep they are world beaters

 

[rfc4eva]

The last two Brownlow medallists had just come off a loss in a home Preliminary Final.

Dustin Martin is a near-certainty to win this year and his club are playing in a home Preliminary Final...

The last 2 norm smith medalists played in the Grand final
