I think this will be relatively low scoring and kind of scrappy. The break is short for both teams, so I can't see a big win going either way.

On the contrary, if one team fatigues it could easily blow out in the second half.

season over melts if we lose this

That's true, I can see the 6-6-6 rule being a bit of an influence under extreme fatigue.

Kinda surprised we didn't make more changes.

 

[Cdog71]

They had something like 15 operations that had alot if em as late starters in the preseason.
I heard we had a really strong block of training at the end of jlt, maybe for this week in mind.
I hope we smash em

 

[HeadandShin]

Going to be much closer than people think, feeling a lot less confident than last week.

Dees were impressive against the Swans at the SCG two weeks ago, tore the Swans’ midfield a new one. I’m expecting those demons rather than last week’s

I suspect part of the dees issue last weekend was that they were thinking about tonight and not the team in front of them. What does that mean for tonight?
I’m a little nervous. If we can get square , or close to square, in the midfield we win. Hopefully our last fortnight shows up and not the fortnight before that.
Go Tigers!!

 

[SunshineBoy]

Not nervous at all , the tigers will piss it in

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

I'm stressed. They bought in speed, we bought in a tall.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Autopsy thread?

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

This won't be easy at all, demons still generated the same amount of scoring shots as the saints. This will be close

Just arrived at the Corner after knocking off work early. Currently consuming a pint of Melbourne Bitter. It's a perfect accompaniment to all the Dees supporters I've encountered today (and I've seen a lot). Jeez they jump off the wagon quickly.

I'm a bit worried about this game. This footy season is the most messed up that I reckon I've seen after 5 rounds and anything is possible. A bloke at my footy club has plonked $1000 on the Tigers to win by 40+ so he's obviously not as concerned about this game as me.

 

[Tforce]

I'm looking forward to another convincing win. We're back!!! Too many nervous nellies on this board.

 

[energyquant]

Contested possessions/tackles will be key

I don't care if we lose contested possessions by 40, as long as our tackle count (and hence pressure rating) is huge. That's how we win the game.

 

[MattWriting]

Liam Baker. 5 games for Richmond, 5 wins.

He could cause havoc tonight with Jack, Caddy & Lynch drawing Dees defenders

 

[SavDog23]

Percentage Booster. Need to win by 60+.

 

[smurfin]

Looking at both teams in the Opening Post and I feel more confident. There are only a few match-ups where I feel Demons have the advantage.
Probably Gawn & Oliver, but Nank & Ross/whoever will give it a good contest.

And the team may not like it, but I love the 4 day turnaround.
I think I've only just recovered from my hangover from the Sydney game and we're ready to go again!

GO TIGES !!!!!!

 

[Punt rd end]

Will there be 3 defenders on Tom or Jack or Caddy

 

[Punt rd end]

About to leave for the G, see you there GO TIGES!!

 

[cairo tiger]

Pull your finger out George tonight- about to have a pint at cricketers- can’t handle **** before a game- Shane to see the wizard Bolton dropped but let’s go

 

[joelsyt]

Just left work. Should be at the G by quarter last 6. I’m pumped, but also so very very nervous.

My first Anzac Eve game and my first Richmond v Melbourne game, can’t wait.

Enjoy, it's a great respectable Pre Match as well.

Noted. Here to tell the story

 

[Roachy8]

Just looked at both teams again - gee we have them blanketed up forward and down back. Heaps more class in both.

Win or halve the midfield/stoppage battle and we will significantly outscore them.
