[Engimal]

The * is a 'cheering stick'?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

******* GO DOGS

 

[Squibbs]

May the best team win, but most importantly, no ******* injuries to either side.

 

[Dazb86]

I have no idea who will win this. My head says Richmond but I've got a feeling we might get up.

Richmond need to start to consistently win these sort of games to be taken seriously.

 

[ManOfClay]

Richmond should win, and if you read their board's preview thread they supposedly already have.

I look forward to another game under the belts of our young guys

 

[Fadge]

Doggies a sneaky chance today at nice odds. The game last night showed us where their respective opponents from last week are at.

 

[10571z]

I'm on doggies. At least hope they are up at one quarter for money back special!

 

[Smoocher]

Looking forward to this. Deledio is a big loss but that new kid McIntosh is a WOWEE where did they find him kind of player. Would love to see the kid have another big game because I love players that take on the game. Having said that it goes against my DNA to want Richmond to win so come on doggies.

 

[fargy]

Not sure what the Richmond/Melbourne head to head stats have to do with this, but hey go Dees!

Should win, if we want to really consolidate on some mature performances these are the games you should win by 4-5 goals without blunder.

I don't know if I should expect that though.

Rarely does anything go to script in this game. Either way best of luck

-Tigers won 78, Bulldogs won 70, drew 2 times

Wow thats pretty close over the journey.

 

[Lsta062]

Wow thats pretty close over the journey.

Yeah it has been fairly close hasn't it. The last decade or so really cut the gap between the two sides

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Should be a good game.. lovely day for footy!

 

[The King!]

Looking forward to a tight contest

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

why the * isn't this live on channel 7?? bullshit

 

[Gameova_]

is it live on tv? or delayed?

 

[ManOfClay]

******* horseracing. I'm at work but the newsroom tv is on channel 7 and I want to watch

 

[ManOfClay]

Shane Edwards a late out too. Ricky Petterd in

 

[Royce Hafey]

Wow thats pretty close over the journey.

Back in the glory days the Hafey-led Tigers had a habit of upset losses to the Doggies. They really hated playing at the Western Oval.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I reckon things will click for the Tigers this year and they'll do pretty well, starting with a demolition of the doggies today.

I want the dogs to win, and deledio's absence certainly helps that, but just don't think they've got it in them today.

 

[Giant Pete]

Tigers to win comfortably
