If you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best

We did it last year. Can do it again this year.

Was just having a look through some defender stats. Garthwaite has been involved in 3 one on one contests a game (Ranked 43rd in the league) and has lost 0. Small sample size considering hes only played a couple games, but still impressive. No one else has lost 0% until you get down to 2 contests per game.

So if one of key defenders go down, we will at least have someone that could perform the task at a good level.

Yes! His performances in and around contests have been very impressive. We are fortunate to have him as a defending back-up.

I love it when the opposition disrespect us. The apprentice/master thing makes this a fascinating match, along with the first final between the clubs in history. Heres hoping for good weather and a ripper match. I think you will be just a bit to good for us, though with Clarko and his magic box of tricks you never know.

Hopefully! And as you say here's to a great game. With no injuries to either side

Lambert not training today is a concern

Lambert not training today is a concern

true but he has a week to come up, he won't have lost any fitness

I'd say there will be a match simulation hit out this weekend and Lambert will play there.

I hope so! But if he is going to be right for a match simulation on Saturday you’d think he would’ve been right to join in the light session today?

 

[Ilovemeagan]

Higgo won't be dropped. Look elsewhere.

Unfortunately I think his most vulnerable only cause of lack of experience

Probably being really cautious specially in the wet.

 

[Terry1985]

7 days out from a game so no point turning the crews up until next week. If he does not train next tuesday then you would thinks its a concern.

I've finally cracked. The oppo flogs have finally got to me. I thought that once I witnessed Richmond win the flag I'd be reasonably content and wouldn't detest the opposition so much. But from Richmond being the worst premiers ever, to ruining the game with tackling, to Titch being undeserving...to Rance being a diver, the melt over potential Lynch trade etc etc etc I just can't imagine to think what i'll be like if we don' win the flag this year. What a shit feeling it would be to not be the best team next year....if some other oppo team had the mantle of reining premiers. Just win Richmond and keep winning....please. Just a couple more flags in a row will do it I reckon.

Dimma stole his box.

To win this B2B would be so satisfying as a supporter...for many reasons...and i would not care about what comes next...B2B would mean we are the best...

 

[Bojangles17]

Despite never playing ea other in a final gee there’s been some sliding doors moments
1971 we lost pre lim to saints , Haw won GF
1974 Haw lost a pre lim, we won b2b
1975 we lost pre lim to NM , went onto beat Haw in GF
1982 Haw lost pre lim to Carl , you know the rest

Feel the same here, It seems like we have unfinished business and last year was great but a little surreal, whereas this will be a lot more satisfying and will almost make us a great side.
Nobody gets as nervous as I do but I'm quietly confident we can achieve the ultimate, because our team is genuine and we have been cruising in the same gear most of the year and now ready to step it up. Bring it on!

Very strange and unusual thursday night with no team sheet to ponder over.
I will be watching the reserves on saturday on tv and very keen to see how butler shapes up. If he trained with the main group i am hoping 50% game time saturday night to shake the cobwebs out and hopefully plays against the hawks.
Lambert hopefully trains sunday and is back for the hawks as well.
Whoever gets dropped for the hawks match would be unlucky.

 

[docko911]

Thought I’d do the right thing.....

So I went over to the Hawks board and wished them luck in the semi-final!

I just wanted to wish you guys luck in the semi-final!

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Hawks will take it to the EGirls.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

The only possible weakness we could have is complacency.
We must be on guard.
The odds, for example, are too short, $1:40 to $3.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

We should be closer to $1.08.

I was the same I was reasonably content after last year and wa me a bit #eco to the bye. But since then it’s grown and now I want to win it so bad. Never know when the next opportunity arises. Plus the amount of crap we’ve copped this year will be nice to sit back, feet on the table, hands behind my head, shit eating grin, saying blow me.
