I have this feeling that Geelong fans think that if it was at KP, then it'd be like a HA game...Members getting their reserved seats, few opposition fans allowed, and their club getting the $$$.
In reality, the split would be something like 50/40/10 (R/G/neutral, AFL & sponsors) and the AFL gets every last cent.

So, if Richmond are middle of the road in those categories, why are we so badly last in the Free kick count? If Geelong is so far on top in those areas, why are you only 11th best?

Is it just me, or are Tigers supporters more worried about Geelong supporters on BF than the game?
Weird thread.

Geelong by 25+ for me. I think they outclass Richmond on every line: I would back their forwards vs Richmonds defence, their midfield way more than Richmonds, & their defenders to mitigate Richmonds forwards. Also Scott is a better coach. I have loaded up $50 on the line -4.5

No matter who wins.
Winner of this game will make the grand final.
Loser will go out in straight sets.
To add one final little point, The one who makes the grand final will be the runner up.

I agree with the GF bit, not necessarily the straight sets bit
You only just figured this out?

How is this up to 10 pages already
Decided to watch that, holy crap we were good! Unbelievably good! The current top 4 sides would get stomped by 150pts if they went back in time 10 years. The gap between that level of footy and the current is pathetic, millennials should be ashamed.

Whoever wins this will play GWS/Port/Eagles in a packed MCG PF... I have to agree with you.

If Tigers win this they are really in the box seat to make the big one. A week off then face the either Port, WCE, GWS or Adelaide at the MCG.
You would have to give them a huge chance particularly if it´s Port, WCE, GWS

Any team would look bloody good when playing against a bunch of spuds like us in 2007

and frees for too[/QUOT
11th best what? If you're talking about differential it's entirely irrelevant. The free kick count doesn't need to be even. If you're a team that get to the ball second more of the time, as well as have the lowest disposal efficiency in the league then you're not going to be winning free kicks, you'll be giving them away.
Is Geelong on top for total contested possessions or contested possession differential? If we're talking about validating stats, there's only so many contested possessions to win each game, and it's always different. What's better, winning contested possessions 140-130 or losing 150-160? Total CP suggests the loss is better.

We camt control the game. We have seen three losses in a row, and frankly are looking down the barrel of two more
We could run around crying woe is us, and demanding heads roll. Or we could be good little buddhists and accept we can only control the controllable, so sweating the uncontrollable is a futile exercise
So we are enjoying our ride on the tiggy train while it lasts, and we will deal with its success or failure consequences afterwards.
Fwiw i still remember a hawks fan wanting rfc posters banned for trolling when they selected rfc to win, because only a troll would insult the hawks by suggesting they could lose to Richmond. Cats fans here are reminding me of that guy this week. And we aint apologising to you for wanting to win

Geelong are in the top few for contested possessions. And I'm not saying that it's definitive, but I would suspect that the more contested possessions your team wins throughout the year, would mean you have a better chance of winning more free kicks, getting to the ball first.
Geelong also gave the highest amount of tackles, so that would also lead to us winning free kicks but also giving away a lot for bad tackles.
The fact Richmond hasn't had the amount of contested possessions we have, as well as having the lowest disposal efficiency in the league could explain why you're not winning as many frees and giving away a lot.
Like I said, it's a simplistic look at things based on a years worth of total stats.

Yeah, nah.
But that would be like suggesting the free kick differential is a more accurate stat than free kicks won...and as I have been told time and time again by Richmond fans the inverse in true.
I do agree with you though.

That's when Geelong clicked. I believe the few games prior to that they weren't great, then they just arrived. Rest is history.
