AFL 2017 - R5 - Richmond v Melbourne - AFL Rd 5, 2017 - Mon Apr 24 - MCG@7:25

[Philth]

Ive got a really positive feeling about the game ... the Demons have had their measure so I'm expecting the Demons will win. Either way Im off to the game and looking forward to singing it's a grand olde flag after the game.

"Oh we're from Tigerland" is much more fun to sing. So I hope you enjoy belting it out with the Tiger faithful tonight.
Tigers by 11.
Yellow and Black......sing it loud Doctor

Richmond will win this game by around 3 goals. The tiger fans will be delirious and the newly erected statue of KB outside the G will be just about ready to crack a stiffy by the end of the game.

 

[vide0n]

Gut feel says Dees by 5 points

 

[Substance]

Richmond versus the World part five.

Melbourne's Grand Final.

 

[Tulip]

Melbourne's Grand Final.

I thought that was Collingwood?

 

[telsor]

Not sure if too many neutrals would care about the result would they?

I am looking forward to the game though.

Will be a ripper I reckon.

Neutrals wouldn't care...but most of this thread is (supposed) neutrals, hoping Melbourne win...

 

[Royce Hafey]

We'll get the job done tonight by 3 goals+

The Tiges haven't played a good midfield yet. Look forward to them wilting under the pressure as per our recent meetings.

You don't rate Collingwood's?

Yeah probably a bit of tall poppy syndrome given Richmond's form this year.

Very envious of your situation at the moment.

Nothing to lose tonight really, as opposed to Melbourne who are officially struggling if they lose.

Same with tomorrow's game. I am nervous as hell already.

I wouldn't say "nothing to lose". We play Adelaide and the Bulldogs the next two weeks so a loss could be the start of a bit of a slump. Though, that being said, it would be just like us to lose to Melbourne and then beat Adelaide in Adelaide.

 

[Dez!]

Richmond should win easily but you can't right off the Demons.

Hoping for an upset.....demons by 4 points

Should win easily? Why is that?

 

[Helen Wheels]

Got a bad feeling about tonight, Richmond are due for a win against us. However would absolutely love to get the win and send them crashing back to reality. Not feeling it though, even if they haven't beaten anyone of note to date.

Everything you say is correct and I also have a bad feeling. But even if we do win tonight, we still won't have beaten anybody of note.
However, a win would be a relief. Tigers by a kick.

A draw.

If we lose, I would like all Richmond supporters to remember 3 words you can use in response to those nasty trolls who will wish to upset us.

Heavy. Training. Block.

 

[Bluelegs]

So many confident Richmond and Melbourne supporters in this thread. Going to be a lot of self-satisfied quoting post game either way.

 

[Power Raid]

Should win easily? Why is that?

Based on expectation, betting odds, ladder position and form.

but it is richmond and anything is possible.

I'm rooting for Melbourne though. So good luck and hope to see you in the game thread 10 goals up!

Nah not confident at all.

 

[Bostonian]

Could make the Carl/Ess game look like dry weather footy if its raining at the G like it is in Geelong right now.

Not really a 'this year' thing though...and even if it was was, and due to envy, then explain round 1 and 2...

Neutrals tend to want Richmond to lose....and we love it.

 

[telsor]

Nah not confident at all.

Same, Decades of supporting Richmond makes confidence a rare thing. Hopeful? Sure, but confident? Nah.

Radar shows it missing Melbourne.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Far more important match than tomorrows 13th v 14th shocker

 

[Gavin Excell]

For what its worth - Melbourne easily. 40 plus

According to BF, if we beat Adelaide in Adelaide next week, it wont count as anything due to <reason>, so we still wont have beaten anybody.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I have a feeling Dees by 21.

 

[Billy ray]

Terrible decison!
Umpire has no idea.
Stupid commentary team.

Ok, out of my system- can watch the game in peace now
