Preview Rd21 2018 Gold Coast v Richmond 2:10pm @ Metricon Stadium "The Game that Stops a Nation"

[joelsyt]

I feel to sorry for them to want to see us monster them

Hard to get excited about this week isnt it.

Maybe for you but I’ll be on holiday up there for a week! That’s enough to get me excited for the game this weekend.

 

[TiggerDK]

Kicked plenty of big scores and mostly against contenders. But yes fwd 50 conversion would be a focus

I’m talking 20+ goals, as per WCE, GWS, and the Shemons all did last week.

Me too. We’re 16 game home and away members that recently moved to Queensland and haven’t bothered changing my membership level. It’s our only chance to see the Tigers this year so we’re pumped. Looking for a methodical convincing win whilst I drink froffs in the sun

Tiges to be up by 4pts with 20 secs to go and Karmichael Hunt jumps the fence ripping off his jacket to reveal his GC gear. Takes mark 30 meters out on a slight angle, slots the goal and wins the game!

Then the siren goes and the Auskick kids leave the ground and Karmichael is arrested for assaulting a child in the process of taking the match winning mark.

 

[Grechy]

Get the 4 points and secure top 2 that's the priority and let's not underestimate anyone we don't rock up and down anything can happen.

We could rock up at 3/4 time and win this.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Respectfully disagree RD. I have a long memory of our dismal years where we were a real struggling side. Now we are on top of our game, I'm relishing every single game. Who comes in, who goes out. Those who come in, how do they fit back in and are they fluent in terms of our game plan. Is Dusty going to go animal this week. Can Higgins keep continuing to improve. How is our defensive pressure going to go against a vulnerable opponent. I could go on but I'll leave it at that mate. Plenty to look forward to.

Yeah mate I was just tongue in cheek. But I admit I will be having a keen eye on the hawks v cats too.

23 degrees Saturday arvo on the Goldie watching the Tigers.

 

[Nobby]

Would love to see Rance play full-forward the whole game just for a laugh.

I would have enjoyed to have seen him do this for a quarter or 2 over the last few weeks, really hoping they do this week.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Looking forward to this game, first time at Metricon, anyone know whats a good pub to go to on the friday night at about 11pm in surfers after i fly in as i am going to need it after a sad day attending a funeral.

Anywhere mate. Plenty of fake t***ies to warm the cockles

 

[TigerImposter]

Watching the highlights of last weeks GC Melb game the Demons basically were playing against witches hats. Hope it happens again.

They look like they have lost hope and it's all falling apart.

I want GC to succeed, but thing are so damaged there now - trouble.

The Suns are the worst side since Fitzroy.

 

[telsor]

Never seen a more dismissive preview, but that's exactly how I feel. Bring on finals already.

Would love to see Rance play full-forward the whole game just for a laugh.

Nah, play the first qtr as usual, then after qtr time, have the players all go to the exact positions they were in for the first qtr....Ignoring the change of ends.

The reaction would be priceless.

AFL would probably do us for 'bringing the game into disrepute' (AKA. making their lovechild look bad), but **** it.

 

[HTT]

The Suns are the worst side since Fitzroy.

Did you see Carlton on Sunday?

Carltoon says Hi.

 

[TigerImposter]

...,but Carlton beat them.

 

[telsor]

I'm considering taking the thread title to heart and having a siesta Saturday afternoon.

Not sure if we can make it a national thing, but I suspect much of the AFL watching part of the country will be feeling pretty sleepy by half time.

 

[HTT]

...,but Carlton beat them.

Gold Coast were the moral winners though

 

[THE_GUN]

Cant believe im going to post this

If we already know that Tom Lynch is not coming to Richmond, I hope we rest half the team and lose this week

 

[guruisatiger]

Will be at punt rd watching the reserves
Hate watching the suns at metricon
No atmosphere so ****ing boring
Might even sneak in the second half
Of cats v hawks at the g

 

[Oh we're from..]

Do we give Bachar another week against substandard opposition or does he play VFL again?

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

Do we give Bachar another week against substandard opposition or does he play VFL again?

I thought Essendon was next week, not this week?

 

[TigermanM2]

Do we give Bachar another week against substandard opposition or does he play VFL again?

Played only a half last week. I would give him a full VFL game.

 

[Dr Tigris]

The Suns are the worst side since Fitzroy.

I thought that was Carlton.

So the 2 worst sides since Fitzroy

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

I thought that was Carlton.

We were third on that all time list of worst!

 

[Dr Tigris]

We were third on that all time list of worst!

Well fourth at worst now.

At least we were totally crap for only about half a season, then improved. Didn't just sink ever lower.
