AFL 2018 1st Prelim Final : Richmond v Collingwood: 19:50 AEST, MCG

[PieLebo87]

On Friday, Collingwood hadn’t beaten Richmond in a final in almost 80 years. Today, Richmond hasn’t beaten Collingwood in a final in nearly 40 years. Perspective.

Clearly not good enough to make a Grand Final.

that's obvious.
But most teams would take that year in year out. You would too, obviously you have a short memory. I dont.

Nah, give me 15 wins and a Grand Final berth over 18 wins and a Preliminary Final exit every time.

 

[Vassp]

Yeah sure. I dont disagree, what I'm saying is that slagging off a team who won the minor prem is a bit blah. Takes a lot of effort to win it and in most countries that is the premiership.

I think you’ve got the attitude of a large part of your supporter base for the entire season to thank for that

Moral victory?

Come everyone, come join the circle jerk to end all circle jerks.

No one invited a minnow supporter to the conversation.

Enjoy returning to your position of relative irrelevance.

It wasnt 3/4 time and on the Richmond fans facebook page they were going ballistic. Not renewing memberships. Teams s**t. Etc etc. All the toys went out of the cot.

Well I saw a Richmond scarf in a bin at half time outside the G... worst part was it was the old logo... speaks volumes.

love how cox is apparently a threat, will get exposed as the experiment he is tonight

The only thing that got exposed is that Rance is an overrated One on One player.. easy to stand tall when your 3rd man up..

I loved how he immediately turned to the umpire after each contest he was outmarked.

Lol good quote. That’s gotta sting

Legitimately was useless... Cox was great take nothing away... but he was predictable as anything.. run towards goal push off Rance's chest and free mark... Rance let it happen about 6 times... AA class defender my ass.

Rance: lEt Me PlAy OnE oN oNe...

lol especially the Dagoey one in the Goalsqaure. Dagoey arms was getting held by rance and he still out muscled him lol

Cox is a player that playing predicatble works due to his height in theory he can't be outmarked at the peak of his jump so he either marks it or is given a free. if he can focus in the offseason on his core and learn not to get pushed under the footy he will be better again next year.

West Coast easily next week. Grundy wont have any influence and Kennedy will have a field day

Noted - the same respect Richmond supporters give Adelaide for winning the minor premiership last year...

 

[good4footy]

Who would have thought that moral victories and injuries would come back to haunt that supporter base.
You would think the example of their coach on how to win and lose graciously would point them in the right behavioural direction.

Only Tuesday and nerves already kicking in. Eagles have beaten all the good sides. Should be favourites for the game.

Yeah l guess, but that wasn't me, I'm much more respectful than that.

Interesting that the 90% of "experts" who tipped the Tiges to beat us are now on our bandwagon and naming us as favorites.
Like you, I would have thought that Wet Toast would start favorites given their performances this year.

they haven't beaten us yet, we lost to them. big difference. .. rnd 17 we should have gone in 5 goals up at qtr time with scoreboard pressure. and the first final again we just fumbled ( Mayne ) at the wrong times.

on form we deserve to go in as FAV. we were in front with 5 min to go on their home deck. and then in PF week we beat the " Best Side " for the year on a netural ground as opposed to WC who beat Melbourne on their home deck and Melbourne gap between Best and worst as shown throughout the year is pretty big. so reading WC form is difficult

 

[Vassp]

Good for you matey

I’m going for the pies in this game, rather a vic team win it. Plus bucks was one of my favourite players .
