[Bird Man]

so we travel to Adelaide and if we win we travel to perth or Sydney again ... rough

that's why you don't win outside the top 4

Yet.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Apart from last year (****** ******) 8th have a recent history of having their arses handed to them.
So make no mistake it's a big big ask particularly how hard we've worked to get here.

 

[Bazzar]

But when was the last time 8th came in on the back of 9 straight wins, a full list to choose from, and half a list who are playing career best footy?

 

[Righteo]

Good to see you guys weren't shafted with away supporters allocation and unsurprisingly your fans have cashed in on it, looking forward to the big Richmond contingent at the game

 

[sregit]

I read that RFC members were only offered 20% of the club membership allocation. We have 66000 members so that is not a lot.

It's not too bad really.
Small ground only holds 50k or thereabouts,Port home game, easier for them to attend,they have over 50k members I think.
I reckon it's pretty reasonable.

 

[theflea]

I'll take a barcode or two if anyone has one, got some mates etc who want to come, was going to wait til general public goes on sale for them but if I can get a barcode or 2 that'd be handy!

Still need a barcode?

 

[theflea]

We get loser of Swans v Freo

It was different in both papers on sunday so im not sure which 1 is right.

 

[theflea]

Don't think so, no real clash. (Port Adelaide vs Glenelg SANFL)

The thing is there is no difference in clashing than your normal jumper and our alt strip. Just weird.

Each club gets up to 10k for their members then the public gets access I think.

And when was the last time 8th was only playing poort adelaide

Lets hope the same happens next week when we front your mob.

 

[HeadandShin]

that's why you don't win outside the top 4

to use a favourite Princess bride quote of mine:

"Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has."

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I was so confident last year against Carlton.
I am comfortable in the knowledge that this team is far better equipped than last seasons but I dont have the sand confidence of winning.
Hopefully a good omen!

 

[Tigers2014]

Hopefully last years loss inspires the boys to play 4 qtrs of hard tough/contested footy. Cotch and few of the other boys have said how much last years loss to Carlton hurt, so this is the perfect chance to show us how much they want to win this game.

 

[WWSD]

I reckon Griffiths is a better option then Vickery for Richmond because Griffiths presents better at the footy, strong on the lead and is also better around the ground not to mention his second and third efforts are quite good for someone who stands at 200cm tall and he also averages 3 tackles per game.

Hardwick already said Griff is a lock it's only a matter of if we play them both.

Personally I thought Foley and Petterd had shockers last week. I would probably drop one of them for Jackson with Petterd being the more likely of the two.

 

[Bazzar]

After hearing Dimma on 360 last night their is no way Jacko will be playing.

what did he say?

 

[Wrenny]

So Rance on Schultzy you'd think. Other tasty matchups? What are they like at clearances etc as that is our strength hopefully can exploit that. Robbie gray needs a tag

 

[DontArgue4]

I rekon get Grigg to Gray or Boak. Tell Morris to not leave Wingards slide the whole match. Confident Rance can keep Schulz quiet, and chappy should do ok on westoff when he's forward. Don't know why but I'm actually quiet confident we will win this
