There aren't enough 'likes' in the infinite universe for this post.

I was there was a Push Red for Mick button on Foxtel tonight. Shitcampaigner

I live on the same street as Mick - if I see him around this week I’m going to start singing the Pies’ team song.

 

[mainehawk]

I did it ... just being nice

Not sure Mick will surface this week

 

[Dewnior]

Tom Lynch must be relieved. Doesn't have to wait another week to tell the world the worst kept secret.

 

[Brishawk]

When they say Richmond have been the best in the business for a long time, do they mean since half way through last year? Because I don’t see that as a long time and no one thought they were the best until maybe preliminary final day last year. People
Have wanted to put them on a pedastall since they won the flag when really they were just a premier (which is still bloody great but there have been about 120 of them!).

 

[Cyrilyouchampion]

As much as I despise Collingwood I am glad the continual ejaculating over Richmond is finally over

 

[cyrilicious]

BAHAHAHA still laughing

Not so smug now are ya riewoldt LOLOLOL

 

[Dewnior]

Not sure Mick will surface this week

I'm can't wait for Ralphy to dissect the potential MRP decisions. Lol stupid campaigner.

 

[A Cut Above]

Haven't seen a dominant KPF performance like Mason Cox's in a final for quite some time. Against the league's best defense too. Extremely impressive.

 

[Glacier]

Is it just me or do others think that our 3 peat sides, Geelong of 2007 to 2011 and even St Kilda of early 2010’s would monster these sides today ?

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

This is so great.

Now to give shit to everyone in my extended family for a solid period of time. The last two years have been hell.

Didn’t even make the grand final and disgraced in a preliminary final.

Brilliant!

Was impressed with Buckley during the week saying Richmond were not going to fall over, they needed to be beaten. Was a good message to players.

But funny thing - felt like once under scoreboard pressure, Richmond did fall over... it’s a funny old world sometimes.

 

[Pessimistic]

Wonder if the value of seemingly surplus big men might increase overnight?

Can see what Clarko was doing with Cegs up forward, and if he wasnt potentially playing a role in some GWS heist, I would be more than pleased to see him stick around.

But back to the value of big men. Think we should be talking them up this week, see if we can get some increased value from Cegs (GWS), Schoey (cheap, less injury prone swingman at the Syds) and TOB somewhere back in Adelaide.

Great to see theBig Cox doing his thing. Dont mind the Pies getting up at all. Hope they go all the way.

Darcy Moore?

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

Absolutely - can understand nervous smiles and trying to look relaxed but the Richmond players looked like they were about to run out for an E J Whitten Legends Game

They believed their own hype all season. In good conditions, Richmond are average. Charmed injury run also all season. No adversity faced yet folded when it mattered.

So much respect for our club!

Richmond probably hadn't played enough footy the last month.

 

[badgrill]

Collingwood have weathered the storm.
Richmond have spent a hell of a lot of tickets starting so far behind.

Exactly. Said at the time to my son exactly that. So much effort to get within 4 goals and then...

 

[badgrill]

**** off, Ralph. Can't take off yr Tigers scarf can you?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Cox was amazing. A couple of weeks ago I thought he did the best impression of a goal post I'd seen, he was almost useless. Tonight, absolutely superb. This may be Buckley's biggest worry, getting Cox to come back and play well in the GF. He is very much a confidence player afterall.

 

[Flukey!]

Tiges will get a cup surely for the most consecutive wins at the MCG right?
That will look good in their trophy cabinet.....

It’s a different game, almost a different sport. Back then teams would win flags by having the best list, now they’re won by who can apply the best pressure and suffer the least injuries. Winning by applying pressure only lasts as long as you can keep that pressure up.

 

[hardway]

You need to be a good team to win 2 in a row and a great team to win 3. We stand alone!

The whole competition is not nearly as strong in my view, regardless of the difference in playing styles of then to now

Imagine all the Tigers scarves (new ones) lying on the ground on the path back to the railway station, and the 20,000 supporters who joined this year asking for a refund

I sent a text to a Collingwood mate late in the 1st quarter saying the look on the Richmond supporters was identical to the look on the Cats fans late in the 3rd term in the 2008 GF. They had that "What the f***" look on their faces.

 

[Rioli2Gunstall]

Congrats on being the latest to the geelong 08 club. Best team all year and choked.

 

[Off The Couch]

Nick put him firmly back in the box
