Game Day Richmond v Carlton, Round 21 - 15:20 AEST, Aug 11, 2019.

[Tiger71]

Blues will win this.
Might even be by four goals or so.

Lol you claim the OPPO will win every game against us mate

Just be grateful he's usually wrong.

 

[nahnah]

Have no confidence in the blues but good luck anyways

 

[davis_756]

Going to be interesting to see how we perform given the players want teague to be coach next year and word has it only a bad performance tomorrow will cost him the job.

Expecting a good showing intensity wise, richmond in too good of form to be knocked off at this stage but we should push them for most of the game if they care at all.

You feel dirty, don't you!

 

[nahnah]

You feel dirty, don't you!

Had to put a bit of negativity in there to even it out

 

[tugga]

It's my defence mechanism.
I honestly believe it this week.

We lose Pies get 4th.
God I hope we win.

 

[smasha]

Everyone will be barracking hard for Carlton tomorrow including the media,except a few Tigers.

I worry about this game with no dusty, cotch and rance, 3 of our big four. However than I look at our team and see jack, Tom, Dylan, Shane, dion, Toby, nick, Sydney and Kane and think, we’ll be right.
I also look at the fact we’ve lost to only 2 teams at the mcg in over 2 years.... we’ll be right.

Yep top 4 aspirations are shot imo with our top 3 all out, if not the blues this week then WCE will destroy us next week

Have some faith in the best team of the last 3 years. We’ll finish top 4 and get the pussy cats first up.

 

[roacheee]

Is it really worth resting your main gun when a top 4 place is on the line? Or is he carrying something serious?

Dusty isnt/wasnt going to be the difference in this game.
Learning the lesson of 2018 to rest players when you can and give others some games

Lol Dusty and maybe Cotch will be back next week.

 

[captain blood 17]

Deboy is umpiring so Tigers will get the extra push they need to win.

Do we really need to post footywire stats again about umps and tiges? But well done, post number 8 in a gameday thread and it’s a bitch about umpiring 6 hours before the game starts. That’s gotta be a record of some sort?

 

[captain blood 17]

As a Hawthorn supporter, JayJay_S understandably can't accept that a club can compete without having a game plan totally reliant on getting the rub of the green.

[captain blood 17]

LOL. Fear.

Like clockwork. Another thread derailer pops in.

 

[captain blood 17]

Congrats to Shane Edwards on his 250th. Great bloke and player. Go well Shane.

 

[RAPPA]

Richmond will get the job done. Too much on the line answer in red hot form. Blues just need to be competitive and not let it get beyond 4 goals

 

[LoungeLizard]

Richmond will win and win easily, they are on a different level to Carlton.

Maybe if they had already cemented a top 4 spot, Carlton may stand a chance, but they won't get close.

Will be a harder game than playing Collingwood thats for sure

 

[HTT]

I expect the blues to come out fired up. Proud club, in probably the best form they've been since 2013, unlike other clubs that have fallen out of contention they look all in on finishing off the year well - and lucky because with West Coast last week, us this week and Geelong in R23 it would've gotten ugly for them if not.
We've got a couple of key outs and while I think we've still got them covered on paper, this is closer to the side we had earlier in the year that was a bit inconsistent. Normally "if we're a bit off they'll get us" is a bit of a throwaway line but I'm more concerned than usual that this will be the case.

That being said, for everything they're going for, we do have more on the line and even from a player's selfish perspective, with guys like Cotchin and Martin likely to come back in, it could be their last chance to make an audition for a spot in our finals side.

 

[LoungeLizard]

You better believe it.

Collingwood playing more like a bottom 4 team and you couldn't beat them, i don't give you any chance if Richmond turn up to play.

You are on drugs. That campaigner has single-handedly cost us games. The AFL even admitted his game-deciding mistakes!

There is enough there to get it done but I wouldn't be shocked if we lost.
