Autopsy Round 18: Richmond vs Hawthorn @ MCG - Changes for Adelaide

[Helen Wheels]

AFL website:

5. Hawthorn won't want to meet Richmond in a final. The Hawks were off their game on Friday night, and they were probably due for a down night after eight wins on the trot. But Richmond's win over the reigning premiers was the Tigers' third victory over the Hawks in the clubs' past four meetings, and there was no luck about it. Damien Hardwick said after the game that the Hawks were one of those teams the Tigers just match up well against, but there is more to it than that.


• After the siren: Mighty versatile Tigers are mighty dangerous

The Tigers were clever in shutting down the Hawks' spread, quick in their ball movement, and afforded as little easy possession as they could to their opponents. It has been a long time since the Tigers were considered legitimate contenders for the premiership, but with wins against the Hawks, Fremantle (at Domain Stadium) and the Sydney Swans (SCG) under the belt, they deserve to be in the conversation. - Callum Twomey

One thing's for sure, fellow mug punters ... we won't see those odds on the Tigers again this year.

Agree. Just sayin'.
Hodge is a campaigner, no doubt. But he will get away with it. Some do. Some don't.

When it happened I thought it was Cyril as he also had hold of him, I booed him and felt guilty. Then looking at the replay it was Hodges fist that slipped through.

Yeah, it was a sneaky backfist. Cyril set him up. Hodge knew where he was, looked as if he was going away from the scene and flicked his hand back.

It was a classic Brute Bernard - Killer Karl Kox tag team.

Loved 'em all. Brute Bernard and Skull Murphy caused mayhem. Ty Vickery got Killer Karl Kox when we played WCE.

 

[Helen Wheels]

Gotta go back and look at Hodge on the replay.

It makes me a little bit excited (if you know what i mean) that we're actually taken seriously these days. Been a long time coming (like really really long).

F U esseingdrug. u had 1 job!!!

there was a great post in the EFC board's autopsy:

" oh Bombers. Do you even Football?"

 

[captain cotch 9]

Lloyd out for Titch. Lennon to the sub.
If we win this week we can make the top 4.
It will be hard to make it if we loose.

$7.20 for 1-24 was easy money really.

Its funny, so many used to pan Rancey out for his disposal and his deer in the headlights behaviour (and if you don't remember, you're talking BS).

I'm going to stick up for Vickery here. He competed at alot of contests to bring the ball to ground. He kicked a goal when we needed it. He was physical around the ground, but all you guys remember is his last stuff up.

Give Titch one more week to recover

12 first round draft picks in the team last week

First time in memory Conca, Vickery, Lennon, Ellis, Vlastuin played in same team, just Corey Ellis to come in and it will be the classiest team we can assemble ( and McBean of course )

 

[banana_bus]

I nearly got kicked out of the ground after the HTB decision on Miles when he got gang raped by 2 Hawks as soon as he grabbed the ball and was pinned for HTB 30m out directly in front. Most disgraceful decision I have ever seen in my life.

I have really been impressed with Lennon over the last couple of weeks and is having an impact whenever he touches the ball so I would rather give the vest to someone else.

I kept off this thread till now. Did not want to risk posting emotional gushing frapping posts about how great a win this was. Now its Monday the feeling has not changed Great bloody by our boys! Lennon, Lambert and Mcintosh have a future. Our back 6 are elite, our midfield runs both way, we just need to make sure we kick more goals then points, when we do that, I seriously believe we will win the flag.

oh forgot to mention, how good was Newman. I know its his last year but boy he did some special things when we needed him.

Whoever finishes 5th will play GWS i reckon, GWS still have essendon, melbourne and Carlton to come.

If we don't get 4th we need 5th then , worried about bloody north

 

[Helen Wheels]

Not voting for top 5 this week. Too unfair on the ones who get left out.

Norf at Etihad worries me.
I think we would have them covered at the G.

This week vs Adelaide is huge.
If we win, we can defiantley get into the 4.

I'm quietly confident against Adelaide for some reason , these next few weeks are weird because it's filled with teams we should beat but the teams themselves are bogey teams for us in years gone past which makes you worry a bit but I have no doubt our best will smash all of them

 

[jc12]

Does anyone find it weird how this season we seem to play on a level that matches the opposition we are playing against? Eg; Carlton not as good , a bit sloppy
Hawthorn full crazy and mental finals like performance
