Game Day Round 18, 2021 - Richmond vs. Brisbane Lions

[davemc_lions]

Cockatoo improved a lot the last few games he played.
Was wondering if he get back

 

[Section 5]

Last time we played Tigers was in round 10 at The Gabba final score 15.12-102 to Tigers 11.8.74
Very different teams meeting this time and we play at Metricon.
See changes from that round 10 game below
Bookies have us very short favorites so i hope they are correct in their assessment
I am not all that confident but we need to get away with a win and no injuries
Lions by 14+ and i will be a happy chappy

Tigers	IN	Cotchin	Lambert	Bolton	Stack	Garthwaite	Chol	Mansel	Parker

Hoping cockatoo can get a sub spot in the next few weeks. Got a feeling he’ll be one of those types who will naturally look and play better in the 1s with better teammates around him.

An icing on the cake type like Rich.

Interesting to see those changes. On balance, both teams are probably slightly weaker than they were in round 10 comparing the ins and outs.

Bolton & Stack worry me a little bit though as X-factor types, but their defensive group doesn't scare me anywhere near as much with Houli, Vlastuin, and Balta out.

I've got some really good tickets, behind the goals at the Ponsford Stand end, going really cheap for tonight if anyone's keen.

Does rain on the Gold Coast tonight look likely?

Looking good at present...

My daughter has a negative covid tested cold, but we are still staying home. Don't want to become a social media sensation via a vigilante crowd member.

Feel like wuss.

I’ve missed every game bar one this year, with either me being sick with cold & bronchitis, or my wife or daughter sick with a cold. Right now our daughter has her second cold of winter.

I wonder, how many years it will be before it's socially acceptable to be in public with a cold again?

There might be a delay to the game. Tiges stuck in traffic.

 

[Harris Specter]

Apparently Tigers are running late to the game with a bad crash on the highway.

 

[jackess]

Stiff. Should’ve left earlier

 

[Lockie]

Maybe they forfeit as they are stuck for hours or worse they turn up win and Hardwick carries on about ”everything was against us” blames tall toppy syndrome and we have to put up with Richmond all over the media for another week.

 

[LIONS08]

Should we do it like local sport… every minute you are late… a goal to the other team??

 

[Mr Ripper]

Start without them and hope we don't kick a behind.

[fpm84]

Turn around and play it at the Gabba you cowards

Why is it not at the Gabba? Did Richmond request Metricon given it’s their home game?

 

[bato]

Officially delayed.

8:05 start

edit: 8:10 now

I don't actually know.

My sick leave and holiday leave have taken a hammering over the last 18 months due to having a cold.

Cough in the staff cafeteria, and a hundred pairs of eyes look at you nervously.
