Big 4 superclash - Richmond v Carlton

[Graffy4242]

Thats exactly what this thread has been like.

And interestingly enough, in 2011 the Bombers snuck into 8th spot over North by beating Port narrowly by 7 points in their last game of the year, only to get smashed by the 5th place team. Deja vu?

Based on ladder positions Tigers should win EASILY.

Can't quite understand why most of my Tiger supporter mates are nervous though.

Surely no way we could win is there Bazzar??????????????

About the same as if Morris did a Laurie Fowler and took Judd out at the opening bounce.

this is disgusting! don't wish injury on any player

Quite possibly.

The only thing different in our favour is our recent record Vs Richmond and the few finals campaigns this side has been through as opposed to the Tigers' youngsters. Essendon had nothing going for them but talk.

Been reading this thread since the beginning and resisted posting the usual blah blah blah..

So... blah ******* blah we're gonna make you wish James Hird never coached Essendon... thats how much the Tigers are going to screw the Blues!

It took you that long to come up with that.
Wow. I'm impresseed.

Tipping Carlton. Psychological edge and they always play out of their skins against us. Will be a ripper though. Carn the Tiges

LOL i'd be tipping the tigers as we play with no heart for 80% of the time.

Todays HUN Gillon McLachlan has updated expected crowd to 90k plus

Trout rang SEN this morning to have a chat to the morning glory boys, and he was saying that Richmond were underdogs.
Must be feeling the pressure.

There's definetely a lot of nerves amongst the fans. I'm certainly nervous, will be a tight contest either way.

If you have had a twelve year dry spell, and are bringing home a girl for the first time in a long time, of course performance anxiety is gunna be an issue. As homer says, we just have to keep thinking unsexy thoughts, and hope for the best

 

[gardiner stand]

Well you just know that isn't going to happen. Morris doesn't get smashed. He just doesn't.

remember the game last year, when he paniced and kicked the ball out on the full and mclean then kicked the winning goal?Well im sorry i just cant get that spudness out of my head.

Lets be realistic here Blues always trouble Richmond no matter where they are on the ladder or what team the Blues put on the field . I don't think we should be under dogs but the odds should be a bit closer than what they are Blues are great value at $2.70.

Odds could shorten when the teams are out tonight.
Personally i'm going to the ground on Sunday thinking that if we play near or at our best for the majority of the game we are a chance of knocking over Richmond. We certainly cannot allow you to jump out of the blocks like we did a few weeks ago. And Mick has to get his matchups right. Would love to see Gibbs play as attacking mid, but I suspect he'll be running with Deledio.

Have you seen Gibbs new haircut???? Gunna be difficult.

Dont even get me started on Gen Y and %$&ing haircuts. They either look like evil dudes from Pokeman, or hipster wannabe Ned Kelly try hards

 

[Graffy4242]

I think this will easily be the BEST of the 4 finals played this weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ep2018]

I feel nervous for Richmond and I'm a neutral!

 

[Tiger08]

I'm very happy we're not playing North but would much rather be playing Port Adelaide. Carlton have momentum and seem to match up really well against us.. I think this is very much a 50/50 contest.

Either way, it's great experience for our guys who have never played finals. Can't wait to see who stands up when it really counts.

a positive effect of being arrogant is you dont get nervous!
Blues will pump 'em,judd or no judd,wet or dry
trust me

 

[gardiner stand]

I'm more interested in the sydney v hawthorn game,one of them will be our opponent next week.
Anyone know a good website to get airline tickets to sydney(just in case hawthorn win).
I believe planning is the key to everything

 

[Truetiger]

I'd still be pretty confident if I was a tiger supporter though.

haha I am not even close to being confident. I wanna win bad but i have strong doubts grr

You just get the feeling that the tigers will either show up and win by a couple of goals or fall in a heap and lose by 10 goals +

I'd hate to be your wife / significant other / prostitute / dwarf / hand.

Shame on the OP for buying into the "Big 4" myth.

The real 'big 4' at the moment are Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney, Collingwood.

Possibly ,its a rare position to be in Just hoping these similar emotions dont overwhelm the players, otherwise it could be a long day.
However I'm confident, toey but assured
