Game Day Richmond v Geelong, Preliminary Finals — Fri 20 Sep, 7:50PM AEST, MCG

[Rod Stroker]

Sure Danger didn't have a great second half, but he was still the 6th highest ranked player out of 44.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Cats cooked. Kelly gone, Taylor & Ablett surely will retire. Selwood , Hawkins & Danger a year older! Won’t reach a prelim for more than a decade now. Effin blew it!

I'm sure your 3 premierships will console you in the following lean years. Spare a thought for Saints and Dees fans. Even Bombers and Blues, 19 and 24 years and counting.

 

[db26]

Gez what happen to us that first half cats to good we were slow of the blocks can't happen next week.

 

[The Filth]

Richmond have some very smart players. They tap the ball on to advantage instead of taking possession and drawing tackles. Very great to watch.
I wish stkilda players were smart but they are not, they are crap and ******ed.

Dustin Martin is one of the 5 best ever players to play the game, he is up there with wayne carey.

Dangerfield vanished in the last quarter.

I'm a Dusty fan - he's a gun - but please, don't overegg it... even Richmond in it's history has had 5 players better than Dusty, let alone the history of every player to have played the game.

 

[Tony Harrison]

The forearm to Miers. Who knows how it’ll be interpreted.

Hahaha
Miers grabbed the top of his head and went to ground when he got him shoulder-neck region.
Complete flop looking for a free.
In front of the ump who saw it and ignored it.
Will not be cited.

 

[Tiges1229]

Razor Ray is a ******* disgrace

 

[flojo]

It’s Shane Edwards. Whenever he touches it... things happen (annoyingly so)

 

[PieLebo87]

Is Houli going to need to worry?

Absolutely nothing to worry about. Worst case is a fine.

 

[My Tilly]

Not entirely disagreeing with that, but when Richmond starting dominating the clearances after half time, having a Geelong midfielder stand up and win the clearances would have been just as valuable as a big forward.

Lynch did awesome tonight, great game, but in that second half the tiger midfield gave him ample supply with their domination

Lynch was dominant in the first half when he was getting very little supply though.

Imagine if this was a smashing as predicted by many before the game?
He may very well have finished with 8 or more goals.

I watched on TV and it was hard to tell - who took Danger out of that game in the second half?

 

[Chinacats]

Gez what happen to us that first half cats to good we were slow of the blocks can't happen next week.

Maybe it’s the bye. One game in 3-4 weeks. They’ll be alert next week and should win it I think.

 

[FreoRicci]

Amazing Geelong couldn’t win that.

Graham pops his shoulder out, carries it for 3 quarters. Knocks to Cotchin and Martin - played under duress for 3 quarters. Broad concussed.

What a choke by the handbaggers. Where is Cockarfitt?

This team may win ugly sometimes, but we have some ******* balls. 17 other teams in the comp would kill to have the heart this club does.

If Dangerfield popped his shoulder like Graham did, he’d probably be on the bench for those three quarters. That was the difference in the end. Who wanted it more, who wants the flag. Probably the best chance Geelong would’ve had for a while. Dangerfield too.

I watched on TV and it was hard to tell - who took Danger out of that game in the second half?

After his blatant dive resulting in a goal he seemed to go very quiet.

 

[Chinacats]

Why?

Whacked Miers off the ball.

 

[demondavey]

I watched on TV and it was hard to tell - who took Danger out of that game in the second half?

I honestly just think the Richmond midfield was just too dynamic, but I didn’t see him at all when the Cats needed him.

 

[queensberryrules]

For a team in decline, the Tiges looked alright, Chris. Any 2nd thoughts?

Whacked Miers off the ball.

Miers to be fined for staging

 

[Buckleys_Chance]

Razor Ray is a ******* disgrace

He genuinely influences games. Shocking.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Am i being too soft and forgiving to think we had a genuine crack but in the end, tigers simply better?

 

[The Filth]

Absolutely nothing to worry about. Worst case is a fine.

Watch it matey - people are already thinking that Collingwood runs the Tribunal without you giving an opinion...

 

[Glenhope]

Game of 2 halves. Hard to fathom what happened after 1/2 time.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

"I played like Dave Warner tonight" hahahaha Jack respect has grown for you.

 

[Glenhope]

Will Miers get a fine for flopping?

 

[justlookingaround]

If only Tom Hawkins could’ve found it within himself not to punch someone in the head.

 

[juss]

Enormous respect for Graham. Cracked in with incredibly pain no doubt just to give us a rotation. Thats a team, we play with heart for each other.
