Game Day Richmond Tigers v GWS Giants - Grand Final - Sat 28 Sep, 2:30PM AEST, MCG

[Damon_3388]

I feel like the Giants should have gone with Keeffe instead of Corr. Just gives them a few more options - length to combat Lynch, allows an injured Davis to play a bit looser, stops them getting caught out in back half ruck contests.

Always nervous! As for confident... I go from we'll lose, win, lose badly, win easily, lose, win on a constant cycle!!!
Will say that if GWS get up, and they have a 50/50 chance, then it will be a great win and they will deserve all the plaudits that come their way.
Hopefully, Collingwood have paved the way for the Tigers to run over the top of them.

My thoughts exactly. Classic 50/50 game

 

[Giant Pete]

Lol... Beveridge just talked about the GWS strongarm tactics off the ball. Maybe if he didn’t talk his team up so much before the game they would’ve been a bit more up for the contest.

 

[Corkintheocean]

If we play the Richmond way,we will win.

Infringe at every contest and only get called for it 25 times?

 

[dean33]

Ross and Macintosh would be stoked! Sit out boys... oh this guy dominated sorry well go with him! What a spew

Yep they’d be shattered no doubt however it’s all about the team and winning the flag.

They'll be in caddy and prestia to miss

Keefe out is big. One ruck for GWS really. Big call.

fatigue will kick in 2nd half so may as well sacrifice a tall for a small and get a bit more run but your right, Davis tweaks that calf and he's massively restricted against one of the best gut running KPF's in the comp.

They will rotate quite a lot anyway.

Mixed feelings about this game. Heart says GWS but head is telling me Richmond.
Feels like Richmond can do the old rope-a-dope and take the best of the oppositions punishment before going into beast mode for 30 minutes of a game to bust it apart.

 

[THE_GUN]

There will definitely be a late change for GWs imo

Davis has not trained all week and looking sore and the way Whitfield is moving he also looks like its touch and go , Cant imagine GWS to go into a grand final with 2 players that are border line against a team that runs runs and runs. Russian roulette if they do as it could be the call that costs them a flag

Specially with their last quarter fade out last 2 weeks the tigers will run till the last minute

Umpires may support GWS, but I don't think the AFL is corrupt in such a way. It's more likely umpires will be all over Richmond because the crowd roar and boos of 96,000 Richmond fans over the 1000 GWS fans will influence their decisions.

Lol this isn't the prelim, there'll be maybe 30-40k Tigers, maybe 20k Giants and the rest neutrals.

 

[PerthBoy86]

I feel like a chunk of Collingwood supporters jumped behind GWS after the prelim...but feelings don't mean s**t.
GWS will have more support than ever before for an interstate game. I seriously doubt 50/50 but much better than the 2017 prelim.

I'm curious how many of those neutrals will be actively, vocally cheering for GWS though.

Also be interesting to see how many turn up for tomorrow's parade.

He seemed like such a whiny flog during that entire segment. Did nothing but complain and offered hardly any thoughts and insight and just acted like a salty tosser. Was a great front bar ep apart from Bevo.

Do we have word on the jumper sitch?

Well there's a big, big sound
From the West of the town
It's the sound of the mighty GIANTS

You feel the ground a-shaking
The other teams are quaking
In their boots before the GIANTS

We take the longest strides
And the highest leap
We're stronger than the rest

We're the Greater Western Sydney GIANTS
We're the biggest and the best

And we will never surrender
We'll fight until the end
We're greater than the rest........

 

[AjsGuns]

Someone I know just bought tickets off off one of the Richmond players allocation for a lazy $1300. Pretty poor of the players to be ripping off there own fans. Not to mention illegal

All players do it.
Pretty sure a captain did it years ago lol.
Fevs also talked openly on air about buying younger players tickets and reselling them for more $$$
Agree poor form but it is what it is.

 

[dean33]

Lol this isn't the prelim, there'll be maybe 30-40k Tigers, maybe 20k Giants and the rest neutrals.

There’ll be at least 50-60k Richmond supporters, 10-15k giants and 25-30k neutrals. Don’t kid yourself if you think otherwise.

 

[Its not the coach]

There will be enough Giant support there, And he's right it will be nothing like the prelim.

The prelim was 90k tigers so yes it won’t be like the prelim but will be more than the 2017 grand final which was heavily pro Richmond.

As long as the umpires arn't pro Richmond like they were in 2017 and the Giants will be right.

The Grand Final crowd is a bit of a joke. Half the "supporters" there are either neutral members of some sort, benefits of corporate or competition tickets or just there for the event and theatre because it's a GF. We aren't talking about an 100k strong crowd filled with genuine week to week members or club supporters.

 

[Do the Dew]

Tigers broke your club and now have broken your mind.

Classic AFL stupidity.






Apparently this was too much of a clash...

Adelaide lost because they weren’t good enough.

Marlion Pickett must have the shortest teeth I’ve ever seen. They must be about 5mm long!

It's us versus the rest Mr YEO just like it was last year with everyone jumping on the Eagles & dogs before them.
