Preview AFL 2017 - Prelim - Richmond v GWS, MCG, Sat, 4.45pm AEST

[raskolnikov]

Richmond's biggest threat to getting through to the Grand Final is themselves. Hold their nerve and they'll win.

I'm 50-50 on who I want to win. Have a soft spot for both sides. Maybe just Tigers cause they've waited longer.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'm interested in reading all arguments as to how Richmond will have a point of difference that can overcome last nights Giants.

Their forward line speed is going to account for nought against this mob.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Prediction - 80k Richmond supporters. 2k GWS. Most on sided crowd of all time.

It begins.

I'll post what I want. When I want. How I want. You haven't had to put up with all the shi7 they've been giving us for 12 months. Maybe you should go and hide on your own board because this thread is better suited to supporters that have finals experience.

Oh yeah, and your opinion is considered 'expert' just because your team played finals last year. Who cares what they've been giving up to you? You've won a flag last year and rolled them in a preliminary final. You've got the ultimate wood on them. It's a 1-0 argument in your favour. Why just fuel the back and forth?

 

[baaaall!]

GWS by 4 pts

 

[Great8]

Another boring, non competitive final to continue the theme for this year, Tigers by 60+

This mob who have played once at the MCG this year and lost to us. Also got belted by Geelong and Adelaide the two previous weeks.

It must have been a real test of your fortitude putting up with 5 normal blokes and a gold fish trolling you anonymously because you won a flag in the most glorious if circumstances.

There's a reason I included the proviso, "last nights Giants."

There will be no Mumford, Mzungu, Perryman, Kennedy or Setterfield this time.

Coniglio, Deledio, Himmelberg, Hopper & Taranto add a big lift in class and speed.

Coniglio was B.O.G.

Let's play nicely boys and girls.

*****

I'm on the Tiger bandwagon, because who doesn't want to hear Tigerland being belted out by 100,000++ plus people after the siren on GF day?

 

[Wojcinski]

GWS by 12 points

 

[Infra Ted]

I'm looking forward to a couple of well known GWS posters reaction after the match when they lose.

Whinged incessantly about the crowd at last years PF because WB fans outnumbered them at THEIR HOME FINAL, so they countered by suggesting we were feral. How they gonna feel with 90k rabid Tigers sitting around them ? Last year will seem like a church gathering. These theatre going plastic supporters will wonder WTF is happening when the MCG shakes as that glorious "Yellow and Black" part of the song is bellowed out by the crowd. Go Tigers !!

You want some fries with that salt?

 

[Colonial]

You assumed I was referring to you. But thanks for biting

No biting at all.

Replying in a civilized manner to an individual with more salt in his or her makeup than a large serving of McDonalds fries.

We will just wait and see if Adelaide & GWS both make the GF and the old Why should the GF be played at the MCG whinge goes into overdrive.

 

[Infra Ted]

Tigers are overrated. GWS if they bring intensity and will to actually win.


Still saw some lazy defensive running vs WC.

AFL grand final ballot released this week. Tiger fans will be scrambling to get on board, and forget they have to play the pre season flag favourite coming off a 10 goal win before hand.

80,000 destroyed souls.

You forgot Jeremy Cameron is out which makes it even easier for Rance. Steve Johnson wont kick 6 against us. Where do all goals come from against a much better defence? They only scored 6 and 8 goals against Adelaide and Geelong. Himmelberg got dropped in round 23, Hopper, Deledio, Coniglio all played against Geelong and Adelaide? They beat an 8th placed side last night and you think they are world beaters now?

 

[Garry Barry]

GF could be weird this year. There will be 40,000 Tiger fans who purchased $2000 GF packages this week sitting there in stunned silence watching an a ll non Vic granny

That means nothing.

 

[Watson_my_mind]

Hope uncle Toby kicks a bag.

Spewing, I'll be at listen out next weekend off my head while game is on ffs

 

[Vitalogy]

That means nothing.

Yeah oval sizes and home ground advantages mean nothing, clearly. Take a rest and come back in March, mate.

 

[DrMike]

Congrats on 250 games Deledio!

Wished you the ultimate success when you left but not at our expense. Good luck

Adelaide and Richmond members had our ballot on Thursday. This week is all about enjoying the lead up to the prelim and the VFL Grand Final

You lot can scramble

 

[gaelictiogar]

I't's great for the GWS fans on BF this week.

They get to think that they are rivals to Richmond and that the Tiger Army even knows they are there.

Every time one of us respond to a barb from them they will feel like its Christmas......

Oh look mummy one of the feral legion of Richmond boys spoke to me !!!!

 

[GoTigers2015]

Signs are good:
Ty Vickery left to go to Box Hill - won the Preliminary Final against them
Lids left to go to GWS
