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

[Fadge]

roacheee all week you were probably the most smug Richmond supporter across these boards. Hope you’re enjoying your morning

And he's had some competition...

 

[nameless]

I think people calling Richmond's demise in 2019 are a little off the mark.

Would start as favourites again, add Lynch and getting Dusty fit they should be back up there again.

Well considering your only point in that post was a sarcastic "Good post.." I disagree with your attitude towards the content that you replied to.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I thought it was a good post and deserved more than a "like".

Yeh Im just about to start reading through tigertigertiger ’s posts. He had some rippers as well.

Any other suggestions?

Mate, massive fan. Have had a good laugh out of you this morning.

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

This is so good.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Pretty simple really. Pies get through without any in-game injuries, they win.

They are the better team with a deeper midfield and more avenues to goal.

lololol
in what alternate reality?

Welcome to the new reality. Lololololol.

Right here come at me!

Go for the “moral threepeat”

Anyone notice the amount of throwing the ball last night? I guess we just have to accept these days.

well done pies should win gf now

Theres a couple of very good teams left in it.

Richmonds season reminds me so much of our 2011. dominated early in the year then faded away a little and got ahead of ourselves and the only team to beat us all year was Geelong 3 times. whilst we didn't beat Richmond 3 times. in retrospect the 2 H/A games this year we probably** should have won had it not been in both games haves 2 on the bench by halftime. and Dimma himself acknowledged in the presser that he felt we were the best team this year to play them.​

got enough Collingwood relatives to avoid today than having to cop it from you son

huh?

What's the consensus on Goldsack? Is he keeping a more deserving player from playing a finals series?

Averaging 8 disposals and 29 DT points.

TBH I couldn’t give a shit if he ended the finals series with an average of 6 disposals if he holds Kennedy/ McDonald next week. That said it’s a bit of a conundrum defensively.

He’s opponents have had 16 (8.8) of the 58 SOG we’ve conceded in the finals and he’s the weak link in our D50, IMO. You have to back him in now, but he’s heavily reliant on the work of those up the field!

Oh well perhaps this will be a lesson for you moving forward. Dont be so smug and arrogant because you just never really know do you?

True, but the whole MCG aura thing is now broken. If teams can beat them at the G they are in trouble.

The successful teams of the last decade (Syd, Haw, Geel) won everywhere. Richmond are a bloody good side but I don't fear them coming to play at Optus Stadium. Better teams would come over and do awful things to us, like Geelong in 2008. Richmond beat Gold Coast (woo?) but couldn't get over WC, GWS, Port or Adelaide and two of those sides didn't even make the finals.

Who cares how many touches Goldsack gets? He's a defender. Seems like a likeable bloke but is having to fight out of his division with Collingwood's backline outs. Wouldn't normally be playing on Josh Kennedy with a full list to pick from.

Smug.

 

[magpie_marty]

As Hardwick said, Dusty wouldnt of played if it were a H&A game. Being fair here but Rance does lack a mental toughness that other players have, if you can get on the board early and beat him in a few 1v1's then his day is done and he gives away free kicks.

Our forward line was terrible because Collingwood rattled us. JRoo was the only composed person up forward so we had to use him.

This is one of those games that can damage a few players like the 2015 Granny and Darling. Hope that doesnt happen

Tigers had injuries?

 

[tigertigertiger]

Smug.

to me being smug was banter, because thats all I've ever copped from Collingwood people all my life

Certainly not me! A match fit Moore would be preferable, but it’s a luxury we unfortunately don’t have so we will back Goldsack in.

Only Dusty mate.
