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

[Americanpies]

You haven't won the flag yet and you wont.Get ready for that crap feeling of lising a GF you are favorites in!Meanwhile we'll sign Tom Lynch.

We've already exceeded expectations for the season so even if we lose the Grand Final, it won't hurt as much as finishing first, setting records and getting hammered in a prelim. Unlike Richmond supporters, I think most Pies supporters don't really know what to expect next week. Just rolling the wave friend.

 

[Socrates2]

Do you really think he wasn't a great player last night?

He had no one on him and only kicked 3 goals.That shot he missed from 20 meters was embarrassing

 

[Pack Specialist]

Come on straight sets, Geelong only make the finals due to your Kardinia Park home games, everyone knows that. Your club is going nowhere, you brought in Dangerfield and Ablett ,they use alot of the salary cap so you have to play duds like Abbott and Parsons and Guthrie ect. Chris Scott has built a list to be mediore for the next 7 years, so get used to the nickname straight sets campaigner

Yeah what a crock that we have home games.

Richmond sure must get sick of playing away!

Geelong will probably still be playing finals when Richmond go back to annually finishing ninth.

Ok ,so you're happy to lose the GF and say you've had a great year?

 

[Apex36]

Good to see you are gracious in victory. The fact the Richmond coach visited your roooms would go completley over your head. By the way you have never complained or criticised Richmond in your BF postings??? Get into the real world. Let's see if you can win a premiership before vitriolic posts like this, remenber 2011 - that is how Richmond supporters feel today. Big difference your fall came in GF.

This is a bit rich coming from the likes of you....

 

[Americanpies]

Yep. Win or lose next week, still proud as hell of the club. Our players are young and on the way up so regardless of what happens next week I'll be looking forward to the years ahead - De Goey, Stephenson, Sier, Cox, Maynard, Adams, Treloar, Miochek.. great times ahead of the Collingwood Football Club.

Nobody expected us to make top 4.. and here we are in a Grand Final.

 

[SportsCentre]

Collingwood turned up switched on and ready. No answer for De Goey and Cox.
Richmond looked short of time over and over, that's quality pressure being applied.

Gutted at last night but cannot overlook the happiness Richmond has brought to me in the last 18 months. I experienced a Premiership I seriously doubted was ever going to happen.

Collingwood repeat their performance last night and the flag is theirs and I wouldn't begrudge Buckley going after some of the media clowns who wanted him gone 12 months ago.

Credit where it's due. We were smashed.

He had no one on him and only kicked 3 goals.That shot he missed from 20 meters was embarrassing

Last night:

Dustin Martin - One of Richmond's "greatest" ever players - Goals:0 Behinds: 0
Mason Cox - One of Collingwood's "Embarassing" "Not great" players - Goals: 3 Behinds: 1

Kudo's to you for sticking around when most of your supporters are retreating back into the woodwork, but you guys had no way of stopping him yesterday and that's the bit that appears to be stinging you.

Maybe take a break from the keyboard for a bit...

The arrogance of Richmond fans continues... Geelong won the 2011 GF because they had a champion team. They had already won premierships in 2007 and 2009. It was fair and square that Geelong were bloody good with a team full of seasoned double premiership players. The Collingwood team last night is full of young guys who haven't even played finals at all. The Richmond loss last night is embarrassing more than the Collingwood loss in 2011. I can accept losing a Grand Final to a team who had already won 2 premierships in the past 4 years. But being reigning premiers, finishing no 1 and having the game winning home ground record... surely losing to a bunch of whippersnappers who haven't played finals would sting.

I'm pretty sure it does sting!

Bagging out you guys for beating them in a prelim is weak.

These fools actually thought they'd be a dynasty, it is really hilarious and absolutely pathetic.

Richmond are not a great side, no one will care about them in 5 years.

Good luck next week!

Something I haven't seen anyone mention yet. When I was watching the national anthem part, I was actually thinking how great it is that Bucks and Dimma are in these spots. Gotta feel for both of them. They were both absolutely ravaged by the media only 2 years ago and here they are in a prelim fighting for a place in the grand final. Really a good feeling to see both of these guys shove it in the face of these media idiots.

Vice versa

 

[Chinacats]

Tell that to Bombers fans who still lament 1999..I still consider 2008 a complete stain on the Geelong era that can never be wiped off. Tigers fans moping about this morning will be scratching their heads saying to themselves "how did this happen"? If Richmond played Collingwood 10 weeks in a row the Tigers would win 9 of them, they decided to put in their shocker last night. It will take Richmond a fair bit of psycho therapy to get over this one...

Yeah true. I had the same thoughts in 08. If we played hawks 10 times we would win 9. We then beat them the next 11 times.

 

[boncer34]

Why not?

Tigers fans are telling us how great their season was still.

Of course Adelaide failed last year but it appears the definition of a great season changed according to Richmond fans last night.

 

[Apex36]

Vice versa

Actually I’m usually pretty good after a win, but I made an exception in your case given you’ve been such a cocky campaigner all year.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Well played Pies, one of the best performances of the year.

See you guys next week after we take care of WC for the 54 year reunion.

Yeah that's not a given, either way we're behind the 8 ball and should rightly go in underdogs

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

Rance shouldn't have been picked. Was clearly not fit to play one on one.

Poor guy wouldn't get a game all year if he was selected on that basis alone

Martin was severly restrcted and couldn't kick so don't bag him

 

[Beerfish]

Martin was useless. Clearly shouldn't have played.

We dominated the comp for 12months, Adelaide didn't do that

 

[boncer34]

Uhhh.

Which 12 months?

The one where you finished 3rd on the ladder or the one you didnt make the grand final?

 

[South of the Yarra]

How come we have more members campaigner?

We lead the head to head against you significantly.
We have played 6 Grand Finals against you and lead 4-2
We hold just about every crowd record

And ..... You haven’t beaten us in a Final for nearly 40 years.

We own you

 

[South of the Yarra]

Guess this never happened...

Record losing margin at the time for a grand final.

We lead the head to head against you significantly.

And ..... You haven’t beaten us in a Final for nearly 40 years.

[UAWM]

Well done to the Pies! Glad they shut the Richmond supporters up!

On another note, the umpiring last night was amazing, hardly noticed them for most of the night which was really impressive

He's obviously adding up the X2 six months between seasons over the past 2 years.
