The problem on our end is we dont blow teams off the park unless they are really, really bad. We live dangerously and get out to 3-4 goal leads before putting the cue in the rack. If we do that against Richmond you'll barnstorm home.
Wow, I need to pay more attention because we do the exact same thing, get 4 goals up and think "oh we've done enough now". Frustrating as all hell.

It sounds simple but we havent been! We've been kicking so poorly directly to the opposition or to a 2/3 on 1 situation and havent been able to contest and then lock it in, teams are just scoring too easily when we turn it over.
If Hardwick has one focus this week at training it needs to be forward 50 entries and bringing the ball to ground. We don't need to win the aerial contests, just can't be destroyed by bombing it long to a cluster of defenders with no one competing.
Nic Nat will kill us in the ruck contests, theres really nothing we can do about that particularly, we don't have a match up. Maybe the attempt will be with 2 ruckman we can tire him around the ground or try and get ahead when he is resting as he doesnt play the full game, but when he is on we can't really stop him giving first service.
Eagles will probably win this by 6-8 goals; sometimes when Richmond lose, they lose badly. I hope West Coast doesn't make the grand final if it's in Perth. It's not that they don't deserve it or anything, or that it's fair they have to play every other year at the MCG, but it'd be a boring grand final because I'd eat my hat if it were a close game, let alone them losing it.

No you sook, there were 2 games actually now I remember, one I went to with Morgs and Steve and we dumped our handbags on him and ran to get photos with KFC boy and broke the internet. The other was a group of us went and the Eagles won by about 4, and there was an umpiring decision to us in the last couple of minutes that sealed it. That’s the game we snuck into the members and feared for our lives. Morgs doesn't come on much now but she would remember both well, we barely made it out of there alive, an Eagles supporter and a Collingwood supporter haha.
The Eagles won both games...at the G.

our main weapon of running teams down has been taken away from us this season with the reduced quarters,
so any B#itch complaining about tigers getting homes games and free rides and umpiring decisions should zip it.
Now that I got that out of the way I have a feeling we will win this game, head says eagles too strong.

A bit worried for this game. First game interstate in almost two months, and we were horrid in QLD last time around. If we win though it will go a long way to finishing top 4.
I call bullshit.
You beat us by 20 points at the G in a Friday night game in 2015. Then you have to go back to 2007 for the previous time you beat us at the G.
I do remember you posting pics with KFC boy though.
No idea what to expect this game. We are coming back from Darwin off 5 days but then the eagles are off 4. Our delivery inside 50 has been horrific lately and it will have to change for us to win. GC and Essendon were taking intercept marks for fun and West Coast are the best in the comp at that. Maybe our delivery will be so bad even McGovern cant read it 
Bringing in Nankervis I assume for Chol should help us a fair bit.

WC play terribly in Queensland.
Outside of Geelong it is probably the worst conditions for them. Humid and slippery, vs arid and low chance of rain in WA.
I'd probably tip Richmond. It also doesn't help that WC were flying out today, but AFL accommodation was still up in the air.
I was going to theorise that your memory was failing you with age, and now you're getting cranky. Did you miss your nanna nap?
Not a bad idea!Maybe our delivery will be so bad even McGovern cant read it

Its brilliant for them they are flying out today. Most travelling teams have been fly in on the morning, this way they'll get to rest, acclimatise and train in the conditions.
Only because this is the way the AFL had structured it.
WC were told fly out Tuesday, that's when your accommodation will be ready.
As far as I know, the AFL was still in the process of sourcing accommodation yesterday/today.

What's the vibe amongst the cauliflowered ear mob? Are we winning them over?
Ground conditions. It's an oval. With grass on it.
Silly me. Here I was thinking humidity and dew might be factor for a team that relies heavily on talls taking marks
