[timokane]

The real gf pre view this is it this is the one

 

[queensberryrules]

Eagles should win this given form. They are looking very competent.

Tiges have upside, for sure, they will need to find more of it to prevail in this match.

 

[footy75]

Tigers

 

[SavDog23]

Lynch to kick the winner after the siren.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

tigers can only win if we don't kick the ball in the air

 

[Dr Tigris]

Tigers inside 50's suck right now. Eagles have to leave WA.

Hmm I just don't know who's got this one. On form I'd got Eagles. On game style I'd go Tigers (if they do it right).

Should be a great game. Just hope we kick straight.

Reckon we'll see nank and Soldo going to try and break NicNat down. He's too much of a star

Really want Edwards and Prestia back before I get confident in any way. 2 top end players in the midfield make s huge difference.

 

[juss]

Eagles should be right favourites here, and imo will likely win well.
Our weaknesses at the moment play right into their strengths which doesn't bode well for us.

1. Our ball movement going forward particularly inside 50 has been awful, just bombing it long to opposition and unable to create a contest to bring it to ground, McGovern will have a field day and take a dozen odd intercept marks.

2. Our ruck division and clearances are always suspect, and against Nic Natanui who is arguably in career best form, we are going to be destroyed out of the centre. Our defence has been very leaky lately conceding too many goals per number of entries and I expect the Eagles slick movement and forwards with the ability to punish on the scoreboard to win well.

We aren't without a chance and would be helped greatly if it rained and it mitigated some of the Eagles strengths, but if it's a dry night on current form I expect this to be a pretty gross result for us, tipping West Coast by 42.

 

[tiger_tough]

We are no chance if we don't fix up our f50 entries. None.

In this case 'fixing' them could well be just get the ****ing thing in there any way possible. Kick it along the ground if you have to. Just don't kick it long and high as we have been recently cos eagles back line will have a field day. We've been preventing entries well (although conceding too easily when it does go in) so if we can avoid playing into Gov and co's hands than were in the box seat I reckon.

Have a feeling we'll go in with 2 rucks in Nankervis who will be returning form injury to take NicNat on around the ground and Soldo to take the centre square bounces.

Should be a cracker.

 

[kane249]

Midfield needs to lift for this one for us, we missed Redden and Yeo last week and it showed.

Queensland at night seems to be our hoodoo as well, so not confident going into this.

Good to hear . looks like both teams supporters are both getting in early on the excuses. Would not be confident on Yeo or Redden getting up for this one so both teams will be under-strength in midfield

 

[masai]

Are the sprinklers being turned on ?.

 

[Coach_Required]

Yeah I cant see it, Eagles playing well above us atm.

I can see West Coast jumping out of the blocks and leading by 4 or 5 goals most of the game, then we either get a couple of late ones or West Coast blow us off the park in the last quarter.

Either way I don't see us winning this one.

 

[Farang83150]

Cant stand night games in QLD, ok in the 1st qtr then gets slippery as fk.

 

[Wosh]

I don’t know what to expect, every game pinned as a thriller has fizzed out, and the games that should be bleh have been great.


Eagles by 100.
richoatthedisco I’ll see you Thursday night, pal.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Eagles by 100

free kicks?

Should be a cracker. Best two teams in the comp.

 

[RichLeMonde]

Can’t believe Richmond are favourites with the bookies. Not normally a punter but just chucked some cash on WC to win by 25+ at 5:1

 

[kane249]

free kicks?

Depends if Dean Cox's best man Margetts' is umpiring

 

[richoatthedisco]

If? Doesn't he travel with the team? I thought that came with his #1 ticket-holder status.

Keep the ball on the ground and swarm in numbers Richmond win, ball stays in the air more often than not and NicNat gets his hands to it first, Eagles take it. I'm not entirely confident as our last stint in Qld was atrocious , if the ball is slick the our kick and mark game struggles

 

[kane249]

Depends on who's getting married that week, in addition to best manning at Eagles players weddings I hear he also DJ's them as well.

 

[Wosh]

free kicks?

Oh God I hope we win by a free kick...please please please. I was there a few years ago with a few Bay people and my Richmond sister when we won with a free kick in the last few minutes, I cant remember the year or game but boy or boy was it wild! We snuck into the members too to enjoy the melts even more, Good Times! I think that was the day Morgs and I got a photo with KFC boy lol.

Here’s to a good game with no injuries We’re due for a belter.

We are so all over the place away from home, this will truly test if we are the Leagues downhill skiers. I hope not, I hope we handle hubbing better this time.

Was that the Docklands game, aka the Richmond 'home' game we were forced to play at a ground we hate because #VICBIAS ?

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

If we can fix our fwd 50 entries it would go a long way for us.
Both teams travelling back to QLD however Tigers have an extra days break. WC have the better form.
Could go either way but not confident at all.
Best of luck to both.
