We won our first EVER qualifying final and suddenly we're looking down at Richmond who also won a qualifying final

We've achieved no more than them. **** knows what we're sneering at
Settle down - not sure too many are 'sneering'.

Most of the observations seem to be around the ott reaction from the Tiges to their win, in contrast to ours. Do you not agree?

What the ****?

What does Brown do?

Besides Richmonds small forwards kicked 2 goals. That's not their strength, their strength is applying pressure on the defenders.

Last night GWS applied 32 forward 50 tackles and we handled it with ease.

Our defence can handle their forward line.
Their defence will be shitting themselves against our forward line, unlike Geelong tonight we can score from multiple sources.

The key will be the midfield.

Having said that, we haven't won the prelim and need to focus on that.
His argument basically changed to we can't beat them at the MCG like we did at AO and won't handle the pressure of playing in Melbourne in a GF should we face off after a bunch of people called him out.

He should stick to trade whispers, he's clearly no good at analysis

I read some of that, we have a bad record at the G? Since when??

Richmond won't have 75k supporters there.

We will have a large presence.

We wouldnt handle the pressure but Richmond will? Based on what, their Grand Final experience?

His theories are shit.

Second ever.

You're missing the point. We're not sneering because we're more accomplished. We're sneering because we recognise that we've accomplished absolutely nothing to date. Something that apparently didnt dawn on Richmond after the game tonight.
I think I'd be a little happier if there was a tad less premature ejaculate flying around the place.

Not sure it casts us in a flattering light.

We aren't exactly keeping the lid on if we're already sneering.

Dustin Martin will win the Brownlow on his own recognition and not on the back of a Dangerfield report
One thing I admire about Dusty is that when he is tackled his first instinct is to use his strength by trying to push out of the tackle rather than the Duckwoods and Grays of the footy world who's first option when tackled is to always play for a free kick and then complain when they don't get it.

I was asleep by the time the game started last night and too tired to go back and read, were Richmond just way too good, or Geelong played badly?
Geelong were awful in first half and got two late goals, Richmond were on top but couldn't score.

3/4 qtr Geelong played better and Richmond ordinary.

Last qtr Richmond got on top again but this time scored easily as Geelong folded.

Looks like to me that the only advantage Geelong really has now is being able to play their glorified SANFL ground where they can exploit the weird dimensions against opponents who have game plans suited for far bigger grounds.

After last night performance I am not surprised at how they were so desperate to get all their finals at cheat stadium because they were absolutely spanked at the MCG.

What a f***wit. Another Victorian cheer squad flog that makes it all about him.
I heard someone mention something before about him being bullied at the games.

I'm sorry, but if you want to be so self indulgent and desperate for attention that you dress like an absolute moron and give yourself a name like "Catman" then you deserve what you get.

I just have this feeling that richmond will somehow blow their chance in classic richmond style in the prelim.
I still expect gws to make the gf.
Most of Victoria will be behind them for their next navel gazing feel good story for a flag, the worrying thing is that the umpires probably will also just like last year.

You can see the 5 year old child he was in that vision. Mum gave him weetbix instead of froot loops and off he goes exactly like that
Apparently he's in his 60's I read somewhere

Geelong supporters having a huge whinge about their home game being played at their home ground*



*the MCG is one of Geelong's home grounds
"Is this what a home game looks like?

90,000 now singing the Richmond theme song."

From the Geelong board - 90000 Richmond fans ? Cats supporters didn't go ?


I really give Bombers a chance.
Nearly won last time.
Buddy isn't going to kick 10 again and reckon Worsfold will have Longmires measure
