Pretty stoked with the win. Haven't been happy about the team and our direction most of the year, but what a way to claw back a bit of credibility and belief, even if it's just to give us some momentum next year. Maybe we could get Sydney in Sydney as well? That would be something else!

Surprised he's not getting more votes.
Did as well as you can expect in an open free flowing final
Makes you wonder if Hardwick knows how the ARC locates the ball before going off half-cocked.
The ARC doesn't use three random angles to make their decision. The angles they showed were front on, then 45 degrees to the post to each side. If the ball is in the same position relative over the post in all three, then the ball couldn't have been anywhere but over the post.
A lot of the media will complain without actually looking into how the ARC came to their decision. Wonder if Ralphy has cleared his tears yet.

Lachie was intense at the stoppages, all over the park and even worked back to get a few intercept marks in Richmonds forward 50, game changers.
That's how you gut run, and weave , pivot, handball ........, the list goes on.
Super human effort.

One of the gutsiest wins I've seen in some time, and your best win under Fagan IMO.
Not that it means much, but my housemate is a Tiges fan and was at the game last night, and when he got home I asked him what he thought about the call in the last few minutes - he thought I was talking about the running too far call against Rich and said it was bullshit.

What an incredible game!!
The GABBA was rocking last night and the Lions fans were nothing but respectful and passionate!
I bloody love Richmond, but wins like that are amazing for AFL Football in QLD.

I gave him votes. Crucial role.
Lachie's last tackle on Bolton was elite . And incredibly unrewarded by the umps.
2 talls in the forward line seemed to create more opportunities.
M/F functioned better without Lyons albeit Lachie and Clug had blinders.
McStays best game ever. By a long way.
Ah Chee obviously not expected to be needed when he was and still a bit underdone with 59% TOG.
Wilmott showed enough ,got a bit tired understandably.
Fages will have more sleepless nights before next Friday because after Fort for Oscar and Rayner for probably Robbo he's going to bring in Answerth and Lyons against the wishes of most supporters.
Hard to pick 5 best players last night, it was a fantastic team performance. High pressure, high scoring. If we play like that next week, we will be very hard to beat

I though Lachies tackle was closer to holding the man. Shai didn't really take control of the footy.
Midfield looked more balanced with two attacking mids (Neale and Clug) and two defensive mids (Robertson and Matheson). They were able to cover defensively and Richmond weren't able to get out the front of the stoppages. Lyons is a luxury we can't afford. In future,he should only play if/when Neale can't play.

So true. The other player that was phenomenal, especially when the game was on a knife's edge in the last quarter was Mathieson. He has some amazing, hard at it, clutch possessions (EDIT) He is an absolute LOCK from here on in.

Hopefully they will be taking solace from that fact that they lost to the eventual premiersSorry Caro ur prediction of the Tiges winning the Cup this season is not happening but well done on making the finals. Unfortunately you came up against a better team

Low key sick of the sooks complaining about the review. Why is no one talking about Pickett's rushed behind? He was outside the nine, ran in and handballed it through which is deliberate everyday of the week?
I know. But they always pay that don't they . He didn't quite take control but was in control of it if you know what I mean.
Either way Lachie had to hold it up one way or another at that point in the game.

Was at the game so maybe my view is a bit biased, what is everyones thoughts on Umpiring? I thought we got it pretty rough alot of the times? Maybe on the stat sheet free kick count might not look that bad but I felt like we didn't get the rub of the green on fairly impactful situations.
was very frustrating to watch
- Several marks taken which were disallowed, even when we had and it was slapped out...but reverse they were paid
- Plenty of Holding the ball and incorrect disposal calls didnt go our way
- Rich run more than 15metres, those are rarely called
was very frustrating to watch
He was standing in the middle of the goal square when he handballed, but it felt particularly rough after they got one when Starcevich missed a target by 1m and got done lol.
It was good to see Bailey taking them on again.
Sometimes it was very risky but it's how the tigers have won flags and it really unsettles the opposition when it pays off.
We need him to keep doing it.

I find it laughable that this is the best level of umpiring we have. There were so many decisions you could query, but Jerry has his head ripped off and nothing - not to mention the Linc mark late. Even if you construed that Joe's attempt was unrealistic, he didn't interfere with the Richmond player that prevented him from spoiling Linc.
I did think Rich ran too far in the last though.
2 goal turnaround the Pickett one . At the time I thought that was a crucial decision in the game.
Remember when Richmond fans use to remind us that it doesn't matter how many touches Lachie Neale gets they are all worthless... How did the work our for you last night??
Thought I heard them say on the commentary during the game that Robinson had decided not to go around again next year. Can anyone confirm?
yeah, bolton didn't have the influence they would have expected, that's for sure. full points to starce on that.

You're good egg, but you're an exception among your brethren. I trust that your team will regress and go back to being middling 9th for a decade or two. (however I can't see that happening) You have given us grief and rubbed our noses in it for a long time and your mob has not been very gracious about it. But you're very welcome here.
