Richmond vs Collingwood Preliminary Final Rematch - Thursday 28th MCG

[Ga Doey]

Tiggy supporters are finally quiet on here. Geez it's refreshing to read some after game chat with oppo supporters.

Just in case you're still lurking

Tiges were so brave. So brave. As a pies fan and long time member of the pies, im proud of the tiges tonight. So brave, dusty was injured astbury had the flu.

Amazingly, according to CD points, Collingwood had the best 17 players on the ground tonight.

CD loves junktime stats.

Well done pies. Looking good.

Sure Rance would have helped, but it was the midfield battle and the spread Collingwood achieved that was the big factor IMO. Sure they got the rub of the green with the umps, but they also hit the post around half a dozen times tonight. Tigers didn't have the hunger or mental fortitude to hang in there and only lose by 3 or 4 goals.

We need some more pace in the mid and players that can run, spread and keep up with the opposition.

 

[Coach_Required]

Enough about how shit we were but how good were the pies?

Compare last week to this week, they showed they can change game plans depending on who they play against and they now have our measure quite easily.

In saying that if we play like that for the rest of the year we will be lucky to win 6 games.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Tough road back from here for Richmond. No Rance, no Riewoldt, Conca, Caddy and a string of others yet to come back. Must be spewing they let Sam Lloyd walk now.

I must say what a great game of football,
And to Sterge will you do a game review ?
Super keen to here your thoughts if at all possible that would be great.

 

[gopies1981]

Richmond get 2 injuries and they are not even competitive.

 

[gopies1981]

I told you all that Richmond will go backwards picking up lynch. Playing group not happy

 

[adammania9]

Richmond moral victors. So brave for three quarters.

I know losing Houli & Caddy has ****ed us over

 

[4tone]

Tiges were so brave last night. So brave, injuries and those dirty umpires cost them the game i thought. So brave. So brave.

 

[4tone]

So brave

 

[Frank Gallagher]

What would you guys talk about on your board if it wasn't for injuries? It's been the same EVERY year since Buckley took over. ONE pf and your top of the world, no flags - easily pleased! By the way no welching on any bets Frank. One thing I can assure you we will not use injuries as an excuse IF we lose witout four premiership players.

We talk about how easy you are to beat!

A crowd of 70k, perfect night for footy?

Pretty pathetic considering the number of members for both teams.

Blame Richmond fans. Their home game and they would of been lucky to have 40, 000 of their 95,000 members.

How much will their membership drop next year if they have a bad one this year

 

[Jaeger]

Magpie army is up and about...

Fair enough though, they were scary good

Bullshit comment. Worked my arse off today to have the slight chance to fight traffic from work then walk miles to get to the ground pay for a seat when im already a 18 game member for 15 plus years. Then get stung $20 for a pie and coke. And its thursday night, how many kids missed out. The AFL go **** off. The crowd was illrelavent tonight it was a TV game, and seven and the afl creamed it.

 

[revo333]

Collingwood supporters are nearly as salty as Hawthorn supporters when they win!

Thursday night... Some people have responsibilities.

 

[ItsGameTime]

This result is quite meaningless in the context of Richmond.

Expect them to fight back strongly and still consider them a premiership threat.

 

[FootyGeek]

Thursday night... Some people have responsibilities.

Yet there were 85k last week on a Thursday night, for a game bookies had priced as one sided.

Could hear trouser zippers falling down in their camp. Doesn’t matter how many there are if there’s no atmosphere.

Fair enough. Don't think there's a possibility first game of the season plays a part?
