Game Day AFL 2019 Grand Final - Richmond v Greater Western Sydney

GWS for me.
One reason - Richmond do Richmondy things.

35 years a laughing stock. Tambling. Ninth-mond. Finally make finals - get beaten by ninth. K. Hunt after the siren. The Mason Cox Massacre - destroyed in the unlosable prelim by an American that couldn't spell AFL. Kicking into the wind - destroyed in ten minutes. Richoman is their hero. Finally win a flag and can't even wear their traditional jumper. And many more classic keystone cops moments.

They just continue to do Richmondy things so getting beaten by a plastic, AFL concocted club and handing them their first flag fits the bill perfectly - just so Richmondy. If Tiges do lose, it won't be just a normal, conventional loss - it will be under a unique set of bizarre circumstances in true Tugga style - you just know it.

All my best mates are tigers and will be stoked for them should they win, but if anyone can mess this up it will be the spanners from Punt Road.

Perfect storm for the AFL. A grand final they have always wanted. Richmond..the huge draw card. GWS they're embryonic child. Perfect. Watch on folks. Next year it will be Collingwood and Gold Coast. Orchestrated..and rotated around to suit marketing and AFL $$ ambition.

The sooner Gil the dills contract ends the better for the competition. Never have I felt a more corrupt and orchestrated outcome. Particularly with Christian the pies man and Hocking the Cats man in positions of power. When will the rest of the clubs presidents wake up to the shenanigans the AFL has become. The goal review technology is a diversion to the real goings on.

Couldn’t give a toss about the GF.
Not going to bother watching it.
The AFL can go and get stuffed.

Pull down the posts and put up the stumps

People said this last year and missed a classic. Don't do it!



I am just beyond miffed about why the hell GWS are wearing their clash strip. Aside form that fact that there is NO CLASH, you have a brand new team you are wanting to market to Australia and the west of Sydney, and despite calling them the orange army you are making them wear a soulless white jumper. Unbelievable.

Just how many tin foil hats do you own?

Better be a close game, I'm struggling to summon any enthusiasm for this.

I keep forgetting it’s first week of school holidays.

A debutant in a Grand Final?
Bloody hell, we were nervous about Cyril playing his first game in 14 weeks in the 2014 Grand Final... But Cyril is a known known whilst a debutant is a complete unknown unknown quantity.

The hubris is strong in this decision. Completely baffling...

No discussion this week about Richmond having it easy playing interstate sides in the grand final at the MCG?

Against a side who finished sixth on a ground they’ve left once in about 11 games
Both GF’s against interstate sides


I don’t really care but the silence is quite deafening

On reflection it was mainly tiger, cat and bomber posters that dished the most dirt

 

[Hawk_francais]

Gonna sing it early... the Pickett selection has a tiny whiff of arrogance about it. If they lose it'll be forever talked about.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

The Pickett decision is stupid.

Even if he pops up and kicks a few goals - he won't be able to apply 120 minutes of pressure footy. They've brought in a liability when they had other options.

Wtf are they playing at

Looks like hubris but we will just have to wait and see. Not as bad as talking about how you won last time for the fans but this time it’s for the players like the cats did in 2008

Fair whiff of arrogance coming out of Punt Road. The Pickett selection is odd.

Grand finals are often about who handles the pressure of the occasion. Very often the favourite struggles. In fact, when was the last time the favourite won? Maybe us in 2015 or 2013? Eagles, Tigers, dogs were definitely underdogs as we were in 2014 and Swans in 2012

Giants are good value. Jump on the big big sound !

Apparently has played a cracking VFL finals series. I think he’s the kind of person who won’t be overawed by the occasion and is also an unknown quantity for the GWS coaching staff.

The big big sound memes are almost enough to make me support GWS.

Almost.

Marlion will be fine

Almost.

GO GIANTS!!

 

[grumbleguts]

No player has ever won a game in front of 90k+ on debut. Every debut game ever played in front of 90k+ has lost.

So either there will be 89999 people attending or GWS have it in the bag.

Almost.

Sorry, all the big big sound reminds me of is the search for the brown note on South Park.

 

[HawkSince2008]

There's a BIG, BIG sound from the West of the Town

Quite the opposite for me.

I’m not getting the amusement at all.
