AFL 2018 1st Prelim Final : Richmond v Collingwood: 19:50 AEST, MCG

[arsene wenger1]

Ye

Yes absolutely ! One cup in 38 years doesn’t warrant it!

They can thank your 2017 qualifying “home final” for that too

Fancy tiger tricks won’t pan out tonight. The players and fans will be left lonely at the mcg wondering why the last quarter run over didn’t avail.

Pies to hungry.

WHE 3 goals
Degoey 2 goals

Pendles, Sidebottom, treloar 25+ each

Bump

Would Mayne be the first ex Fremantle player since Winston Abraham and Peter Bell to possibly win a premiership? Not being sarcastic, just can't think of anyone else atm.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone. It would be nice for Mayne to make it three.

Edit: Leigh Brown. So Mayney to make it four

Why are you so happy campaigner, you barrack for Sydney?

Hard not to be happy when you’re a campaigner.

Or as will be known in 20years....

the one hit wonders.....

Out of interest, I assume you are a one hit wonder if you don't go back to back.

When did Collingwood last achieve this feat?

 

[Sidebottom2Beams]

love how cox is apparently a threat, will get exposed as the experiment he is tonight

Hahahaha

 

[Vassp]

Enjoy Noosa.

Do I need to reply? Take your win, I’m not hostile....enjoy.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Well it's all we heard from your mob all year, so why not.

It was a valid excuse for you so why not us.

Thats ironic. I remember the pies supporters saying it about half as often as your mob.

 

[Hawks1976]

Is gastro an injury?

No excuses your mob choked with no injuries. Only great teams win consecutive flags

 

[Tiger Mopsy]

It's all pretty simple - Treloar was right. Pies have a better list than Tigers.

Tigers zero injuries and beat Pies twice during the season courtesy of the fact we have two rotations down before half time in both games.

Business end of the season we have the best team on the park we've had all year (by no means our best 22), Martin under a cloud and Ashbury possibly shouldn't have played (but no one to come in for him).

We slaughter them.

Lol you contradict yourself in your own post!

Put down the tins and stop making a fool of yourself!

 

[Chinacats]

To all the level headed and considerate tiger fans out there commiserations on your teams performance- you are a well respected team. To the arrogant tiger fans out there- eat some humble American pie!

 

[Percel]

whether.

wether...balls...nil

 

[Tiger Mopsy]

Yes it is, that was my point, clearly straight over your head.

 

[Vassp]

Wow happy with that? Little wonder you lost then! Read all about it- tigers happy with minor premiers! Weird comments!

I’m happy we won so many games, how is that so hard to understand?
We lost to the better team on the night, it was Collingwoods night tonight- simple as that.

Does the former even exist?

 

[ChubbMuff]

Is gastro an injury?

Probably not an injury - an excuse?

 

[Dogs till i die]

Is gastro an injury?

No not an injury just means your full of........yourself.

Except we won how many games straight at the mcg? Must have been a fluke.
We still finished on top of the ladder and I’m happy with that. If you knock that you’re just plain delusional.

Read my earlier post (quote):

Nah - great season.
Pies dominated the contest tonight and the Tiges couldn't get started.
We only lost 2 H&A games in 2011 and lost the GF - hard to go back to back - I feel for ya.
Respect.

One thing definitely not "delusional" is the lack of respect shown throughout the year by Richmond supporters on BF.
Hardwick again tonight in his presser re-iterated that he thought the Pies were the toughest opposition the Tigers had faced in the H&A season and had a great systematic playing style.
Richmond BF posters quick to downplay the impact of injuries on the Pies team in both those H&A games, both at availability for selection and in regard to injuries depleting the bench on game day. Also our lack of wins against other top 8 teams. Honorable losses etc etc...
Tonight, Richmond supporters ****-a-hoop before the game, arrogant even, now after the game is lost expect courtesy to be extended re a supposed gastro outbreak (?) and Dusty and Astbury not fit to play. Excuse me if I extend the same sympathetic attitude that Tigers supporters gave to the Pies. Karma can be a bitch sometimes.
Like last year the Crows were best in the H&A season but lost to Richmond in the finals.
I am happy to acknowledge Richmond have been the best team in the H&A season (like the Pies in 2011)...just not in the final tonight.

 

[Yearofthe]

Bad luck.
I felt for the players after a great season.
Back to back is extremely difficult.

Your supporters though...they can go and eat giant dick, the arrogant dickheads.
Your board has been awash with body fluids for weeks.
I would be embarrassed to be a member of that board.

This post.... POTY

 

[Hagla]

These posts fly in the face of Cox's aerial work against the Tigers this year. In the 2 games he averaged

6 marks (6,6), 3 contested marks (4,2), 3.5 marks inside 50 (4,3) and 2 goals (2,2). This was in 2 losing games

To give some perspective if he averaged that for his season he would be a plus 40 goals forward leading the comp in contested marks and 3rd in the comp for marks inside 50.

These figures dont suggest the Tigers have found it easy to nullify Cox's aerial threat this season. Who knows how much more dangerous he would be in a winning side.

On point!

 

[Tiger Tim]

I reckon we got caught out drinking our own bath water tonight .

Pies out played us, too good.

 

[citizen-erased]

So you concede you only beat us in the qualifying final because of the rain?

nah
the hawks were shite.
what they were doing in the top 4, ill never know.
