How come we obliterated you in the prelim?

Because Collingwood started to believe they were a serious shot at the Premiership. It was the relative absence of this belief that made you falter to the reigning Premiers twice in the season rather than the injuries itself.

Cannot wait till later in in year when we outnumber Richmond fans 2 to 1 with their fake 100,000 members lol

Reckon we out number them now after they've gone in to hiding...

Reckon we were a better chance than Richmond on the last day in September 2018

We’ll never know whether it was the psyche vs physical exhaustion that impeded our chances in those first two clashes. I’d suggest it was much more just running out of puff though as an outsider watching the game, you could see the movement stagnate. Football’s a mental game and maybe there was an element of us coming into the game believing we’d be the ones to play catch up all day but Richmond dictated the play and took full advantage when we fell off the pace in those two home and away clashes. That said we were up to our necks in both games right up until the last stanza.

Well it’s looking like it now

Just like Trelor picking the Pies over the Tiges.
Could have been a premiership player

Touche

Redneck Wonderland.

You'd know.

 

[catscratchfever]

Thanks, again, Pies for giving it to the insufferable Tiggers and their oafish supporters. And for +1 to my tips this week

How??? Caddy, Prestia and Rioli wouldn't have been in black and yellow had the Treloar chosen them. Those 3 especially Caddy were vital to the structure and combined they provided more value in 2017 than Treloar would have.

We got spanked good and proper - thats twice in a row now - so we need to ask the question have the pies comfortably got our measure now? answer seems to be yes. To the victor go the spoils, pies have every right to sink the boot in and gloat.

We need to take it on the chin, lick our wounds and hope we get better by the next time we play them.

I still have faith we're a lot better than that

How would Lynch be feeling choosing Tigers .... could be playing along side De Goey in the forwardline for the rest of his career but now has Higgins.

Imagine the delivery from that Collingwood midfield!

I don't think Lynch is too bright, reckon we dodged a bullet there, he isn't even the best Tom Lynch in the comp IMO.

MightyTiger, you might as well post pictures of your 1980 flag, it would be as irrelevant to this thread as your 2017 flag.

And at least you beat the Magpies in that Grand Final!

 

[MagpieJoel]

That was in 2017 buddy, it's irrelevant now. We might as well post some pictures of 2010.

Or perhaps the scores from the other night?

 

[CrowInFiji]

How is the debate still going? Collingwood won, Richmond lost.

Richmond are with some very key injuries. unlikely to make top 4. Cant really see them being a contender.

Richmond fans need to eat some humble pie from last year when they taunted othrr clubs about injuries not being an excuse.

When you post pictures of your premierships and you arent the reigning premiers, you have officially lost the debate.

He's just reminiscing about the fleeting time when his club was relevant, now that they have returned to mediocrity.

Not really because the rule book was changed because of that premiership.

Richmond only lost because of the umpires.......get it right mate.

F**** me sideways

The world does not revolve around Richmond.

There is no conspiracy theory.

The end of an error.

You mean years of talk and debate turned into action very coincidentally the same year the Tigers won a flag. Holy shit the arrogance is real.

 

[smasha]

Last year when we had that long run of wins is when Whateley cracked it and talked about “the state of the game” and got a board assembled to change the rulebook.

The games have not been better to watch,the scores have been lower,the footy was on turbo last year,faster,more ferocious,the new rules have brought the slower teams up to the field.

The game this year is won in the air more,not the ground,our team is loaded with on ground ball warriors,these rules combat against that.

No.
