If we play well, I expect us to win. They're a good team, no better, no worse. We'll need to play well to beat them.

Some good inclusions and dropping a few out of form players won't hurt our chances.

And they'll need to play well to beat us.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

if we play like we did against saints we’ll lose this

And if the cats play like they did against the blues they'll lose.

 

[roacheee]

After the Karmichael Hunt game I've treated all wins as equally important.

Want to win this one more than any other home and away game for the year.

meh, prefer beating the cheeseplatters n lolnorf

I think we’ve really missed Prestia this season. Him and Lambert work beautifully together and adds that extra ounce of damage, class and versatility to our on ball unit.

If Prestia comes back, does Conca hold his spot? Both pick 6...

Anyway, Harrythetiger, that was a brilliant preview. I had a real hard think about that spoilerbefore I clicked. You got me.

On to the game. Is Gaz Selwood and Danger a more dangerous unit that Cotch, Dusty and Titch?

I liken the current Tigers (when on form) to the Diaz brothers in mma.

Not only are they really good at boxing and Jiujitsu, they also compete in triathlons when not in camp. So they have a much larger cardio base to work off which helps in the later rounds.

They make you run fight at fast pace the first round then when the second round happens, they start picking the pace up as digging those punches a little deeper.

That’s like Richmond. Teams want to beat us with pressure and we match it and start digging in when the legs get heavy.

It’ll be a gut running battle, the team that covers the territory best, is the team that wins this. It’s the G, and I reckon we got this.

Guys , I know we are going head to head this week ..but I thought id come on here and say well done Alex Rance for his statement in support of Eddie Betts.. Fantastic leadership and support for a fellow player. Well done.

Move or delete if you deem its in the wrong area.

A win for Richmond should also quash any discussion that we cannot beat contenders away from home.

Great work!!!

 

[smasha]

Remember when Geelong lost to the Hawks in ‘08,they didn’t lose to them for a very long time.

We need to come out firing from the get go.

No pussy footing around,hopefully Geelong do that.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

I'l wait till i see the team sheet come out before i start making guesses...

Hi lads. I have returned.
I had to set up a new account because I could not log in via Twitter formerly 17Dream.
In: Martin, Rioli.
Out: Menadue, Miles.
I was hoping Graham would tag Ablett.
Moore would be line-ball.

 

[SavDog23]

Dusty to tear the trinity a new one.

Rioli back and 4 goals.

Quick Trivia question: Who kicked 5 goals in the 2017 2nd Qualifying Final

Spoiler

Geelong

My sides!

 

[EyeloveRichmond]

7 goal win in a canter. the cats do not handle the 'g' at all well.

They seemed to handle it well when the beat Melbourne & Collingwood at the G this year.

 

[TigerImposter]

Amazing the banter thread is into its 11th page.

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Just got off the V Line to Geelong.. Big test away to Geelong. Lost here last year so we owe them.
Bloke at the station has interupted this message to tell me the game is at the M.C.G??
Surely not

 

[Rezza Tiger]

Got my bags packed ready for the flight to Geelong

Better be quick, you've only got 3 days to get back to Melbourne for the game.

Geelong is overseas, right? Could have sworn it was, given the injustice done to them by it being our home game in the QF.

 

[roacheee]

handbags have scored over 100 only 3 times this year
tiges 8 times

prada pussies only once over 100 at the mcg
tiges 8 times

fah.....
dees by 3 points and gawn fishin missed a sitter for the win
pies game was 45-66 = 111
we scored 113 against the pies, 8 goals more than the cats

we have nothing to fear but fear itself

 

[RFCGloryJC]

To be fair, Geelong did us a favour in Round 23 last year to defeat GWS.
Otherwise, the ladder would have been GWS, Adelaide, Richmond, Geel.
We would have played the qualifying final in Adelaide.
I still do not understand why Graham is omitted when he scored three goals in the Grand Final.

have we reminded the cats fans of this and thanked them?

 

[Cotcho]

We are in good shape. But the excuses I'm seeing are worrying me a tad. Every time we lose it was because we were crap and nothing to do with opposition. Crows crap, Eagles crap, Port crap. If we lose this week I assume it will be the same excuses rolled out.

Sounds a bit like the opposition against us last year. In the second half of last including into finals the opposition played crap against us....lol
