Preview Round 7 2018: Richmond v Fremantle MCG 6th May 1.10pm

[Dr Tigris]

Grind them to dust. Reckon they will be a bit tired, but then so will we.

If we play our full on game they likely to just be smashed. If we kick straight (got to start sometime surely) then this will be a big margin. 50-60 points normally - 80+ if we kick straight.

 

[Spagman]

We've curb stomped those mistakes from the first half of last season well and truly to death.

Tigers by 55 points.

 

[DrMike]

Fremantle are coming off a derby, and derbies are always taxing games.

Moral victory to Fremantle, it's wharfie time.

This is Morro and _Wang_ favourite game of the year

They love docking

 

[YeOldTiger]

If Towner comes back in, it will be to sit on Ryan, their best intercept marking defender and in good form.

We will have to watch Wilson closely as he is their best rebound defender with an excellent long kick.

We generally have the guns to overpower this mob now but they are dangerous. Neale, Fyfe and Mundy all in good touch. Their forward line is their problem with no Taberner and Walters injured.

 

[captain cotch 9]

watching Dusty & Fyfe is worth going to see

Why do they get all the fun....

 

[tunksy]

freo looking decent so far this year. they match up well on us and play us well at the G. should be a good game. and fyfe, mundy, neale are all very good players in the guts.

They’ll be missing a few though.

Taberner, Walters, Bennell, B Hill.

Talk on the Freo board that Sandilands will potentially be rested.

I used to go into games hoping there would be a few outs for the opposition.

I don't do that any more.

Thank you 2017.

Final moral victory scores:
Fremantle by within 70 points.
Dockers 6.11.47 morally def Tigers 17.12.114

Richmond inaccurate early in the wet, then 9 goals (8 from goalsquare) to 1 in the final quarter (Mundy after the siren).
Dockers score includes 6 rushed behinds.
Tigers score includes 4 behinds from overturned goals on review.

Tigers favoured by:
- Longer preparation time (90 minutes extra)
- Freo had to travel
- Can only win at the MCG
- Umpires’ favourites (by getting nearly half the free kicks of Freo)
- All those 50m penalties actually made it harder for Freo by upsetting their structure
- Should have been even more goal reviews
- Would be very ordinary without Dusty
- Easy draw
- No injuries, ever
- Play better in the [insert weather conditions during the second half]
- AFL conspiracy
- Victorian teams favoured
- Still haven’t beaten anyone good

Ah this is what "hunted" means....! hear i was thinking the 17 other clubs would be hunting the tiges on field...lol
We love being hunted by media and BF flogs......let the hatred continue into eternity.....

They’ll be missing a few though.

Taberner, Walters, Bennell, B Hill.

Talk on the Freo board that Sandilands will potentially be rested.

we are missing a few too

sandi missing would be huge though. he makes such a big difference to their set up, they're used to him always winning the hit outs. if hes rested, do we play nank or take the chance to rest him and play soldo against another inexperienced ruck?

Talk that Cotch may not get up - let him rest, bring in Miles or Towno to kick 6 again?

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Cotch is in doubt.

rest him, bring miles in

long season, no point letting it linger

 

[joelsyt]

Opposition supporters could finally have the chance to see what we’re like without one of our superstars.

I am nervous, but I hope the club does what’s best for Cotchin, we don’t want his injury to worsen.

 

[OhhDeledio]

Sandilands is gonna get 200 hitouts against Grigg.

 

[prodigy]

Just win. Don’t care by how much.
No changes.

They will say it’s only one player or that Cotchin isn’t that good.

 

[richcogs]

Got to be Miles in if Cotch doesn't pull up!

 

[rfctigerarmy]

How many points do we have to win so Freo don't get a moral victory?
