AFL 2019 Round 2: Richmond v Collingwood, 7:20pm AEDT MCG

Well done Pies.
Looking pretty good to me. Didn't see last week so hard to form a more complete picture. Here's hoping you have another good year.
Commiserations Richmond, you guys should still win plenty though methinks.

 

[Acinath]

Castagna , Butler , Ellis, Broad , weller, Markov are all terrible, shows lack of depth of tigers if theyre getting a game

Also shows how much their fab 4 have carried their bottom players

This one doesn't belong.

Tigers supporters in a nutshell....blame the umps, but might get the realization that their team didna bulldogs and fluked one against your mob who didn’t turn up. Will go back into the woodwork for another 30years

Ha ha Chuckie. When will the Saints fluke one? Tigers can spend the next 30 years in the wilderness, but they will still be better off than St.Kilda.

 

[upnsmoke]

Th

They can but I’m hardly convinced they will.

It’s a tough comp, lot of other sides who could take their place in the top 4

The last 3 seasons have been great.

Any team from the 8 can win it... As in there are no clear teams head and shoulders ahead... Even if the media wanted Richmond to be that team. The competition behind them aren't that far behind.

Having different premiers every year is good

 

[mxett]

Grundy looks like he's riding a broom along the boundary with that hair

 

[RupieDupie]

Suspension or do the two incidents cancel each other out?

Did the Richmond player confuse Elliot with Cox?

 

[caveman72]

Wheres Tiggernator ?

 

[STPer18]

Richmond really need to improve their pressure if they're to achieve anything this year. They could learn a lot from the pressure Geelong applied when they rolled the Pies.

 

[Murray2503]

Pies will most likely win the flag this year. Only team that can stop them is west coast imo.

 

[SterlingArcher]

32 tackles. Less than 1.5 per player.

 

[mick500]

25 frees to 9 lol.

What a dream it would be if the afl umpires, I mean Collingwood football club can get the pies a premiership this year. Fairy tale stuff... Almost like bulldogs winning it, or Richmond with cotchin leading the way. Absolute stuff vicco dreams are made of.

 

[caloschwaby]

Hard to fault the Tigers tonight. Played a very respectable brand of footy despite injuries. Moral victors in my books atleast.

 

[PerthBoy86]

4 out of 5 games at the MCG? Pies and Tigers getting kissed on the donger cos the AFL loves those big marquee games.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

160 less disposals and 30 less tackles for the tigers.

A lot of the Eagles of last year. Possession footy.

Clear change of game plan. Does not suit Richmond. Does not suit the players they have drafted. And Rance out is massive.

 

[bzparkes]

Looks like Buckley studied our win VS Richmond last year, looked very similar with the transition and precise kicking. Much better to watch than that 'chaos' crap.

 

[HBF]

25 to 9 free kick counts... show me a team that has won with those stats against them. The holding the ball rule is a joke and in any other sport that type of favouritism would be looked at

Keep blaming the umps mate. Its utterly hilarious.

 

[MowShow]

Honestly, tigers are no where near it this year. Will not be able to challenge the true contenders at this stage.

Will be a 4-8 team and playing off in an elimination final this season.

I think richmond would be more grateful to adelaide for not showing up on grand final day

 

[Tiger2709]

Congrats Collingwood nothing to say horrible performance half those marks were from direct Richmond kicks to Magpies, just rubbish.

 

[Randomizor]

25 to 9 free kick counts... show me a team that has won with those stats against them. The holding the ball rule is a joke and in any other sport that type of favouritism would be looked at

Don’t worry I’m sure Richmond’s complete lack of discipline will come up in review

 

[fnerd]

Reckon the tigers have been found out.

There in some trouble and I actually can’t see them genuinely challenging the like of Collingwood, west coast and gws.

Will still be thereabouts come September but their window doesn’t look far off shut
Makes last year’s choke in the pre lim hurt even more coz they were definitely the best performed side during the year.
It was a golden opportunity gone begging.

Perhaps ,like crows the year before after such a monumentus defeat on the big stage the players are struggling to come to grips with it..

 

[flojo]

Jack will be out for six weeks min....

Calling it. I think he has a fractured scaphoid

 

[caloschwaby]

I'll give you there were a fair few horrible calls, but perhaps... maybe... just by chance... Collingwood's pressure/Richmond's lack of composure resulted in many free kicks being awarded?

Hooked one.

When will we get roaming Brian in the losing teams dressing room?
