Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 10 - Tigers v Lions Tues August 4th 7:10pm AEST (Metricon) Match Highlights in OP

[Hirsty23]

Listening to fagan it was a close game apperantly

He's a positives first coach which has clearly worked for him given the remarkable rise up the ladder we've had since he took over. Quit taking pot shots and have some class in victory dude. Jesus it's pathetic.

 

[juss]

It's not as big a gap in quality as you think anyway as Rich and Birchall in a Richmond jumper over the last few years wouldn't be much different from Houli and Edwards. Martin is probably a better ruck than Nankervis. From there your point stands as Lester and McStay are probably in our bottom half a dozen best 22 players. Regardless having had to replace all these guys in the space of about a week and a half hasn't exactly been easy for the lions. We had a player on debut, another playing his second and another his third.

I still disagree, but I guess the bigger difference then is the players we bring in can cover it, where the Lions lack the depth required to really challenge the best at this stage.

Where’s Charlie?

 

[Chinacats]

Must have been the first time I’ve tipped against the tigers this year. Dumb decision. Different level TBH. Hold this form for two and a bit months and there’s your winner!

Fagan has a good rep but you need to understand he's tainted it somewhat with Richmond supporters of late.

Claimed to have held something in reserve when well beaten at the MCG. Then took a knee in front of the media to beg for Charlie Charity. And completed the trifecta with an ungraciuous QF presser where he clearly had little understanding of why Brisbane lost.

It's only fair that history has repeated.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Brisbane's goal kicking let them down in the end, Andrews had a stinker and they miss Rich and Birchall.

Richmond looked good but still had some really mystifying kicks inside 50 imo

Both sides were attacking though and hopefully will have a rematch come finals.

 

[Chinacats]

We beat Richmond and we also beat Port in Adelaide.

Write us off at your peril.

Wouldn’t get near tigers now. And definitely not in finals.

 

[Chinacats]

Can't play away from the MCG they said...tick.
Can't win interstate......tick.
Streak extends to 15....tick.
Proving the trolls wrong again after writing us off after our round 3 loss to the hawks....lovely.

Asbury, Prestia, Houli, Caddy, Nankervis & Edwards to come into the side. Wowee.

All true. Not sure all those guys would get a game now. Kids awesome!

They made a lot of mistakes that would've been punished by a more experienced side. Port has six or seven 30+ players at the Last Chance Saloon. They've realised it and will be too solid for tonight's 22.

Tigers only worry is they have to keep this form for 10 weeks. Different level ! It’s hard being favorite going into finals. Otherwise tigers too good.

 

[Disco_Stu]

I guess we will see if port are the real deal next weekend When we play Richmond

I reckon you'll play our VFL side.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

I reckon you'll play our VFL side.

Your VFL side beat us the other year

 

[Chinacats]

Hardwick replacing Clarko as the master I think. Really organized team. Hardwick on top of his game.

 

[Disco_Stu]

Your VFL side beat us the other year

I need a cigarette.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We beat Richmond and we also beat Port in Adelaide.

Write us off at your peril.

You won't win it this year, winning a final should be the goal this year. Will be a good building stone for next season.

[Black Saab]

Missed most of this as was working and it's over. I see Brisbane still can't kick straight and it is a genius Richmond tactical ploy.

I heard the other day that a Richmond player invented the ruck.

And the handball...

 

[Black Saab]

Turning into a rout now.

The serious contenders are emerging, Richmond, West Coast and St Kilda.

St Kilda! Hehe bless you.

 

[Black Saab]

Lol Brisbane out in straight sets again this year?

No, they will be better for this loss. Formidable team. Might not win the flag but looking beyond this carnival season the Lions will be serious threat for some time.

 

[dean33]

It doesn't work that way. Rich, Birchall, Lester, Martin and McStay are just as important to Brisbane as Richmond's outs are to them.

Birchall? Lol

 

[Ron The Bear]

Tigers only worry is they have to keep this form for 10 weeks. Different level ! It’s hard being favorite going into finals. Otherwise tigers too good.

Sure it was 2nd v 3rd, but tonight's game wasn't a high standard like e.g. West Coast v Geelong. Lots of water to go under the bridge. 5-6 blokes to return near the end of the season who haven't played much footy and will need to find form right away.

 

[Black Saab]

We beat them when they were closer to full strength than they are now, they may beat us if they play us again but it will be a lot closer than it was tonight.

This R10 Richmond side would have pantsed the full strength Richmond St Kilda beat. Even Hawthorn had a good win over the Tigers back then.

 

[THE_GUN]

Brisbane kicking too many behinds against Richmond ................. AGAIN

Yeah I understand. It’s the favorite mentality. Need to be aware of the finer details and think of the things that can go pear shaped. But right now tigers are strolling to prelim that they are likely to win. All the best..
