As I said in another thread solid win. Brisbane did what they're supposed to do as the home finalist.

Richmond really missed Lynch up forward. I think they win if Lynch plays.

It's a tough road now for Richmond, Bulldogs have been strong against them in recent years and Saints had a big win this season. And of course Port already beat them comfortably earlier in the year.

But at the same time, 1 game in 28 days going into the prelim wouldn't have been exactly ideal for a team staying in a hotel.

If Richmond are good enough to make the GF from here I'll back them in the GF.

I think Geelong will be quite excited to play Brisbane in the PF. West Coast not so much.
 
Your team is absolutely drilled to push the limits of the rules with this stuff, a bit like Hawthorn a decade ago. Richmond players make sure the ball never gets back to the other side, illegally hold players after marks, encroach the mark, etc, dozens of times a game. Well done if you get away with it, but you can't complain if you start getting pinged.
So are you saying the umps are calling out because they believe Richmond is being unsposrtsmanlike? A bit like Selwood ducking at every chance? Funny how they keep rewarding him for that but Richmond players should be singled out...

So Hardwick's issue with the umpires was that it was a final and should just let the players play.
Put it in Google translate from Hardwick to English and came out as:
I'm furious we weren't able to get away with what we are normally allowed to get away with. Makes it a bit harder to win games when we aren't allowed to do as we please.
 
Tigers can still win it. Will be tough though. Power (away) and lions (away) . Still the best team in it, but will have the toughest draw from here.
Well done lions.
Hoping we can do a hawthorn in 2015 who did it the hard way via Perth prelim to win their 3rd. Will be tougher this year though no doubt. I still have faith, lynch back makes a big difference.

Agree with Hardwick completely if he said that- last night was much better, put the whistle away.

To their credit the umps corrected their early stuff up in the first half tonight, second half they got with the program a lot better and let it flow.

So Richmond win two out of the last 3 flags, which included a win interstate in a Qualifying Final but yet only achieved it with umpiring assistance and by not winning interstate?

Must be a lot of intelligence around here

Congrats for the lions though, totally deserved the win tonight
 
Narrator: "No said Richmond, though we typically play most of our games at the home of football, the MCG, it holds no real advantage. No advantage at all."

Narrator: "but unfortunately for the Tigers, away from the comforts of Melbourne, they were about to find out they were mistaken. Very, very mistaken"

Unbiased Narrator: "Had Brisbane not received a massive boost from the draw compared to Richmond (9 outright home ground games vs 0), Richmond would have finished above them, and this game would have been played at the MCG."
Unbiased Narrator: "But it was not to be so."
 
Well done Brisbane, too good tonight. Was quite happy with our effort, but the decision to play Chol tonight is up there with anything Chris Scott has pulled in finals. Every game he plays our forward line is comfortably negated. The one good game he played was against Port, but that was because we didnt win a clearance so all our entries were slingshot from defence into an open forward line. That was never going to happen tonight.
