In my opinion the Hawks are one of the worst 4th placed sides in recent memory, and I think they are going to be exposed for what they really are tonight which is a borderline top 8 side at best. They did find some good form in the back half of the year but nothing to suggest to me they are going to be anywhere near it tonight. Could look like a fool in a few hours time but I'm sticking with that. Good luck to both sides.
Not even the worst top 4 side this year :rolleyes:

i will be surprised if this is close tbh

richmond by 50+
think the hawks might do a carlton 2013/north 2015.
would be a great way to win and i wouldn't have to feel so bad for richmond this time as they have the 2nd chance;)
 
I like Mick Molloy, but last night he was a prick. I think that he thinks that the party might just about be over. Very nervous, and he's not alone. The Tigers are the biggest unknown this finals series. I know what to expect from the other 7 teams. Have the Tigers come back to the pack in the last month because they've lost their mojo? Or did they rest players? I can't get a reading. I guess we'll find out. The Hawks I reckon are over rated, the latter part of their fixture was always going to be the easiest. This doesn't mean they won't win. If they do, I won't be surprised. If the Tigers win by 12 goals, I won't be surprised by that either. Don't be fooled by the laughing and frivolity from the Tigers camp prior to the game. It's a smokescreen. They're intention as always is to maim the opposition, and if the umpires let them get away with it, I'm gonna change the channel and watch something else. Probably walker texas ranger. Is there enough walker texas ranger on tv? How much is enough walker texas ranger? I've never thought to myself 'I'd like to watch walker texas ranger, I think I might put on the tv and watch some walker texas ranger'. Walker texas ranger. WTR. WTF. Instead of kiss cam they should put some WTR on the big screen at the G. Maybe get Chuck to perform at the grand final.


You make a good point. This is the same Richmond team that under-performed for years, and then out of nowhere won the premiership of 2017. They have not changed much from the garbage Richmond team of the years before. The only additions really are solid players like Caddy and Prestia.. not really anyone of superstar status. I feel like they are riding the wave of momentum, but it could crash down for them at any time, based on their recent history. I feel like this season they have been pretty lucky, as all the better team lists in the comp have had bad injury troubles. Richmond certainly wouldn't find it as easy as they have had it against fully fit sides of Collingwood, West Coast, GWS, Melbourne, Sydney and even Geelong.. which is basically the entire top 8.

Far be it for me to defend those Hawks but ive seen similar sentiments expressed and interested why you rate them this way?

Haha.Apart from tonight they are all 50-50’s aren’t they? What would be an upset?
Richmond, Melbourne, Sydney and West Coast are the favourites. Work it out Einstein.

Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story... pretty sure when you go back through you will see Richmond played most teams at close to their strongest team for the year.
 
On the train and loads of fans. A young tiger literally peed his pants. LOL, hopefully a sign of what's to come.
On the train as well, hopefully rain stays away
If you're on the same train as DrEvil, it's not the rain you gotta worry about.

Richmond by 37pts, feel they have a much stronger side but I'll be hoping Hawthorn win.
 
Hope it's a good match
Thinking tigers will either lose or smash them....hope I am wrong and its a close one
 
Anyone else having problems with foxtel go? not hearing any sound? but all the other channels I can.

I can't either on my iPad :(. Hope it get's fixed before the game - wanted to hear yellow and black despite being a Lions supporter lol.
 
With the 12 months Richmond have had there is only 1 thing i think they would fear more than the failure of coming up short in the finals series and that would be missing out on the opportunity to play in the GF, if i were the Hawks i'd be going low and hard at the contested ball at every opportunity and see who flinches first.
With their recent history, and where many predicted them to finish this season, they have nothing to lose.
