It is a sign of not enjoying and respecting the play.
If you were in a meeting discussing something important when some members of the meeting were talking and laughing about some personal business. What would you feel?

The Mexican wave means we're murdering the opposition so I love it.
Vics also hate it which makes it even better. We should start a Mexican wave with a boo instead of a cheer for the ultimate WA up yours

People do it because its fun, noone is doing it to disrespect the game. Only those clown that throw stuff in the air
Yes true, some fans might be having fun.People do it because its fun, noone is doing it to disrespect the game. Only those clown that throw stuff in the air
However, please give a deeper thought into how the players feel. In the last quarter, they are extremely tired and need motivation from the fans to maintain the intensity, but then the Wave is like i said "talking and laughing in a meeting" is a negative and disturbing sign.
I just believe a more positive encourgement is required especially in such a critical R23 game when we need larger winning margins.

I find Richmond's scenarios intriguing this week. If results go as expected and WCE and Geelong win, but Collingwood loses, then Richmond will be stuck in 4th and seemingly nothing to play for against Brisbane.
But wait!
A win would mean Geelong finishes top, so Richmond gets to play the QF at the G. A loss means Brisbane finishes top, so a trip to the Gabba. So it's all to play for for the Tigers. No potential tanking.
(If Collingwood wins, then Richmond need to win just to make the top 4.)

I like it all we can do is go for the throat and win and win big. The rest can take it care of itself.
Also a big win for Richmond will see them overtaking Brisbane (and may be WCE if WCE is not beating Hawthorn by a big margin) to sit at 2nd position hosting either WCE or Brisbane.
Will be interesting to see how Richmond control their accelelator at the last quarter.

Well if we win by 30 points and Richmond win by 50 then we are locked for second however we need to win first which is the critical.
If we won by 30 points, why would Richmond want to beat Brisbane by 50? A few goals will be better for their own benefits.
If they have the ability to beat Brisbane by 50 points, then Richmond would like to get rid of the Eagles by placing the Eagles at the 3rd position (because WCE is a bigger threat). The Richmond is not in a position to help the Eagles to have a better position to win the flag!
True. This year is very even. Definitely the best in the west.

True but if they won by 50 points they would remain 4th regardless and still play Geelong at the MCG

If we had beaten the pies had home we would be sitting on 64 points and then be a lock for top two. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though.
If you are Richmond, would you like to meet Brisbane or the Eagles in the GF?
If Richmond have the confident and ability to beat Brisbane in the MCG by 50 points, they will try their best to give more advantage to Brisbane by placing them in the 2nd position. By doing that, they have a better chance to face Brisbane in the GF.
Bear in mind, Richmond found WCE difficult to handle in R22.

Infuriated by that loss, anyway we have to press on from here
And am I right in thinking that if (an unlikely event, but one I am hoping for) Geelong lose - we would need to win by only about 20 points to guarantee top 2?
That would get us to around 117%, with Richmond under 113 and Brisbane just under 121. Meaning (and I know these things aren't exactly linear/related) that as richmond increase their percentage, Brisbane approximately equally lose percentage - so we could probably never get first, but nopt miss second.
There are so many scenarios even in the top 4, just from 4 games.

True all we need to do is focus on winning the rest can take of itself as they say
Been working in Perth a lot this year and have seen plenty of the Eagles.
As many of u have said I would be confident you could take the cats out
At the G in the first week of finals.
Then all is well
Your obviously a better team then Hawthorn however
They are more a bottom half of the 8
Team in the form they are in.
Clarkson and a night game with WC off that bruising slog in the wet
Hopefully team is on and hawks ain’t and it’s not a hearts in mouth type of night for everyone
Just be grateful for a win this week first

I think you're overthinking it. A win by Collingwood means the Tigers have to show up and beat the Lions, or they fall to 5th (their percentage is worse than the Pies).
The real question will be, if they are winning comfortably by 3-quarter-time, do they take the foot off the gas and cruise to maintain 4th?
Personally I think it will be a tight game anyway, with the Tiges winning by 3 or 4 goals. Lions have been woeful at the 'G for ages, and is the main reason why I don't think they'll win it this year.
Exacto! took the words out of my mouth - Lets not take Hawks game for granted.
Lets beat the Hawks first!!

The Lions haven't won at the G in over 5 years and haven't beaten Richmond there in over 10. Haven't won a final there in 15.
Since 2009 they have played 22 games there for a record of 2-1-19 (W-D-L).
Granted, 2009 was their last winning season, with 2012 and 2013 (10W-12L) their next best before this year.

Richmond a decent chance to lose this week. 3 wet games in a row. I don't think it's a coincidence we came back hard in the last quarter despite being a man down most of the day. Richmond will be sore.
If it's a dry day Sunday in Melbourne watch out. Lions played in fine conditions and have an 8 day break coming in.
