[South of the Yarra]

The virus now impacting two other Tiges players. Could be highly influential. Late changes coming?

Evidence or nah

Its all going to depend on how many balls actually go between the two largest sticks....

But what if one team has an excessive number of balls go through a big stick and a little stick?

 

[Fadge]

Like your optimism

if Richmond plays close to their best, your mob won't get within 10 goals.....

Of course. If Collingwood win it will only be because Richmond have an off night...

 

[enobrien]

Of course. If Collingwood win it will only be because Richmond have an off night...

I mean if Richmond play their absolute best would you expect Collingwood to be close?

 

[telsor]

Richmond should win but I'd love a Collingwood underdog/underpie victory

But everyone's just tuning in for the real main event

ROAMING BRIAN

after the game

Bit early to be that heavily on the turps isn't it?

Must have been a huge night last night.....

 

[domin8tors]

I mean if Richmond play their absolute best would you expect Collingwood to be close?

if both teams had full lists to choose from and played at their best Collingwood would Tear Richmond apart. !

 

[Nikita Blue]

A draw

lol. ok
you sound like trelol now.......

 

[Tony Harrison]

if both teams had full lists to choose from and played at their best Collingwood would Tear Richmond apart. !

Does that mean the pies have never played at their best before?

No we wouldn't.

They've only managed to do it twice against top 8 teams this year, it's a shame one of those days was QB ):

 

[Gone Critical]

For 10 years prior to the bye before the finals being introduced the winners of the QF (Qualifying Final) won 18 of 20 PFs (Prelim final). 90% winning record

In the 2 years the bye has been in the winners of the QF have won 2 of 4 PFs. 50% winning record. After tonight I tip that drops to 2 of 5 PFs. 40% winning record.

Its going to be seen soon as a clear disadvantage to the QF winner and another AFL stuff up. Sorry Tiges you are the victims tonight.

Who cares - if you won the Premiership you'd still take it.

I for one hope we smash Melbourne in a canter, then rock up on GF day against a Pies/ Tigers side suffering from explosive diarrhea!

 

[juss]

If Astbury is out or is down due to illness that could be pretty significant as he is the best matchup for Cox due to his size.

But doesn't that just mean you would get sh*t on?

 

[PerthBoy86]

Tigers dispensed of them twice this season by a similar margin. I can't see what would be different this time. Also they should have more legs to run it out late in the game.

 

[youbeautfyfe]

Richmond fans thinking they going to win again after getting a dream run with injuries and easy schedule these past two years :')

CARN THE PIES

 

[domin8tors]

Does that mean the pies have never played at their best before?

correct. we have not played with the likes of Elliott / Moore / Wells / Reid all year.

 

[NonPhixion]

If collingwood kick straight. We are a big chance.

 

[domin8tors]

would Rance then be forced to play on him as your next Tall ? that would impact a lot if that's the case because you would think Rance would play out of the Square as your best defender on Dagoey.

 

[domin8tors]

such a mute argument. teams aren't in the top 8 because we and in your case Melbourne beat them. if both Melbourne and Collingwood lost our games against North and Essendon both of us would be out of the 8 and i'm somewhat certain that both those teams would have actually been in the Top 4. so by my reckoning we beat Top 4 teams.

 

[No SPIN]

Since RD 16 Coll ranked:
1 - D50 ground ball gets
2 - for D50 pressure

If Rich think they just need to turn up they're in for a huge shock. Coll are clearly capable of controlling Rich's D50 game.

 

[tigertigertiger]

love how cox is apparently a threat, will get exposed as the experiment he is tonight
