Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 3 - Tigers v Swans Sat April 3rd 1:45pm AEDT (MCG) Tigercast Link in OP!

Such a shame that Buddy has been ‘managed’ after only 1 game back.

 

[THE_GUN]

Yes, like all swans fans the best I can hope for is that our young players don't suddenly drop dead from the shock and awe of being near actual Richmond players in the flesh. A 10 goal thrashing would be a huge relief.

Absolutely

I highly doubt any of your players let alone your young kids would have had the opportunity to have played against a 3 time premiership team thats full of stars and AFL Royalty such as Dustin Martin.

Lets just hope they dont star gaze and actually participate in the game

 

[THE_GUN]

Yep.

The game will be a treat for our youngsters, regardless of the outcome. A media hyped up game in the sun on the hallowed turf of the G against a great team and in front of a big crowd is a great learning experience.

The Bloods have an exceptional record at Docklands but I would trade that for a guaranteed 6 games at the G every year. (FWIW, I think Docklands should be reserved for games between Melbourne teams. Better interstate team access to the G in H&A would help level the odds come the GF and eliminate complaints.)

Why ? The interstate team cant draw a crowd in melbourne and the stadium would be empty while having 2 melbourne teams would attract bigger crows allowing more revenue and the opportunity for more people to attend. After all it is an entertainment sport designed for followers to attend games

What possible benefit would there be from having a game of North Melbourne v Sydney / Freo at the MCG with 8000 people watching

It would give interstate teams experience at the 'G.

LOL

Let them request to play heir home games at the G then.

Wouldn't be allowed to.
AFL has a contract with the G to provide X amount of games.

That contract also has clauses on the premium games played their not just X amount of games
a 100k stadium does not want games with 10k attending. Thats what marvel is for

How many games get 100k?

They could comfortably hold nearly every game at Marvel if crowd size was the criteria.

Alot of games get over 50k

Also why should other teams be inconvenienced in their home games just to facilitate getting MCG games into interstate teams that are playing away games.

what your saying is silly

Ffs ... they have been around Buddy for almost a decade. No one is stargazing at Richmond.

The premiership player that was purchased for marketing reasons ?

Has he even been at the club for the new kids to meet him until last week

Why do you care?
The players respect Buddy, the team respects Buddy, the fans respect him and most people in the game respect him. The fact that you feel the need to come here and disrespect him says more about you than it says about Buddy or anyone from the Swans.

I dont care about buddy
Im not disrespecting him as he was a champion hawthorn star winning premierships
Swans over paid him and are now paying for it whilst not winning a flag since he arrived

So maybe stop turning this into a disrespecting buddy agenda as you were the person who first mentioned him (nice deflection)
Now lets get back to the Swans /Richmond game and will the swans give the young kids a marker so they can get Dusty's autograph

Heaven forbid we inconvenience Victorian teams.
We all know that Victorian teams scream like banshees each and every time something doesn't go their way, then the AFL steps in to give them what they want.

Club	Avg Age​	Avg Gms​	Avg Gls​	Avg Hgt​	Avg Wgt​

[THE_GUN]

Does Hardwick spend much time at the club since he started his own Jim's Mowing franchise?

Yes he does but he is happy to take on new customers maybe give him a call so he can cut your grass
You know tigers do everything better im sure he will satisfy.

Now back to RICHMOND v sydney

You do realise what you are saying dont you ?

The AFL should allow interstate teams to take priority over Melbourne teams to play in a 100,000 stadium inconveniencing so many people and giving up millions of dollars after losing so much money due to covid to give the Babies a leg up.

Your team should be the last to complain about the AFL after being gifted so many gifts in the past as well as some of the players like Campbell,Heeney,Mills,Blakey,Gulden through the back door.

Now maybe you give us a tip for tomorrow , How many points will the swans win by playing on the MCG with 90% Richmond supporters watching

On a scale of Chris Scott to Richmond board challenge

How cut will you be when the Swans win by 10 goals..thanks to Campbell, Heeney, Mills, Blakey & Gulden?

 

[juss]

If Rampe does go to Martin it might leave them a bit undermanned on Riewoldt or Lynch, hopefully we can capitalise and get one of them to decoy lead for the other.

Our ball use inside 50 hasn't been great so far. Maybe tomorrow we can turn it around.

 

[telsor]

The AFL gets a bonus for the cumulative crowd figure. (A further tax on Vic clubs)

That money helps pay for football in NSW/QLD.

Feel free to cut a couple of million out of your club's subsidies to pay for your plan.

The swans lost over $6 million dollars in 2020 , Without the handouts from the AFL generated by the bigger clubs the swans would be playing in the same league as fitzroy.

The Swans have a very undersized defence and will be interesting how they deal with richmonds fowards
Harry Cunningham (181cm) Tom MC Cartin (193cm) Dane Rampe (187cm)
Jordan Dawson (192cm)

All the Vic clubs would still be playing in the VFL...if it hadn't gone broke 30 years ago.

If Vic clubs are so against playing at the G, why TF did the AFL sign up for 100 years of grand finals at the G?

 

[HairyO]

Tigers should win comfortably.
3 to 5 goals.
