Autopsy AFL 2022 Second Elimination Final - Lions v Tigers Thurs Sept 1st 7:20pm EST (Gabba)

[Quested]

I reckon the betting is the wrong way around for this game.

Richmond are nowhere near the team they were two years ago, and Brisbane would have regrouped over the break.

Tigers supporters don't travel to Marvel Stadium let alone Brisbane, so the Gabba will be heaving with 80% Lions supporters.

Brisbane $1.70 v. Richmond $2.20

Tigers supporters don't need to travel, their fan base basically means they have more fans in Brisbane than the Lions do. Richmond and Collingwood games are almost always 50/50 fans

Thank you.

Well Richmond have a full list to select from with Dusty & Lynch declared fit and ready
Only injury concerns are Grimes (likely out for the year ) and Graham touch and go for this game

Personally I would leave Graham out. Reckon Ross finds more and does more with the ball, and others can fill the gap of defensive running. And he shouldn't replace the Sons, finals experience for the youngest guys is invaluable to our future.

Graham would make a good sub though.

What a tediously long extra week off. 5 to 8 will be loving it though, evens the play field a bit.

To the 2nd level go the spoils!

I'd prefer the double chance and potentially winning straight into a home prelim over this!

 

[Coach_Required]

Well no excuses for Richmond if they lose being at full strength

If Brisbane win, they most definitely go all the way .....

Lions at home will re group and win well.

Listening to fagan speaking to Garry and bucks this morning, he asked them if Dusty was playing, when they replied in the affirmative you could almost hear him groan.

Didn't hear it but assume that was a bit of old man humour.

Richmond has won 15 of the last 17 games against the Lions. Wow. That is quite a domination.

 

[tangolikelama]

Hardwick incredibly laidback and cheerful on 360. Was good to watch.

 

[Wosh]

Don’t forget tipping still runs throughout finals too.

17 games is pretty selective. Why don’t they count the 17 before that too? Equally relevant.

Are you new to BigFooty?

Selective statistics is a specialty of Richmond supporters.

Last 37 games combined between Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton;
Last 17 games against Brisbane;
Home matches for attendance figures;
Premierships after 1959, or premierships after Richmond 'found their feet' (1919);
MCG Preliminary Finals against interstate teams in 2017 after not having appeared in a Grand Final for 35 years;
Round 23 2019 home and away games at the MCG against interstate teams where the home team may or may not have distributed free tickets.

So what was the win loss record for the previous 17?

Why not just round it off to the last 100 games which would include Fitzroy & Bears

How about flags on colour TV?

25 wins, 10 losses and a draw. Is that better?

 

[Fadge]

Sure. That's another equally irrelevant selective statistic.

If anything is irrelevant in a preview/game thread is this....

Out of interest, when was the draw?

 

[sante]

Sure. That's another equally irrelevant selective statistic.

What is a relevant statistic?

Statistics that aren't selective to suit a narrative.

That’s the thing. Stats can be spun anyway you want to “suit a narrative”

What is a relevant statistic?

Has this team ever beaten Brisbane at the Gabba, i'm not going to go to the trouble of looking it up, but I would think not.
