Ok got it...pre-end of WW2 doesnt matter & post-WW2 matters. What about post-Pacman?
Fair bit of talk that Collingwood are a much better side than last we played, with obvious good in's Treloar/Goldsack etc.
But Richmond are far stronger with Houli, Graham and Conca over Leon Baker, Jacob Townsend and Brandon Ellis.

Not that i'm encouraging gambling BUT... if you backed the Pies at the line and the Tiges win by less than about 16-17 points it'd be a win-win for you. IF.
Pretty even ins and outs you've listed there, hard to believe you'd consider that far stronger...

What's wrong with Gay people, Why do you think they're a disease?

Thanks for the lesson - depends upon which school you went to me - ABBOTSFORD what term covers your potential loss for tomorrow? Could it be THREE moral victories in a row?

Where did i say there was something wrong with gay people?
DeGoey didn’t even get a mention!
Leon Baker playing his first or second game. Townsend played his first game since early in the season (forget last year, barely touched it this season) and Ellis, yes somewhat unlucky to be dropped.
Houli is a massive player for us and gives us so much drive, Conca and Graham are the hard nuts who lead our tackling and pressure acts. No stars granted but they are good roll players. Graham kicked 3 goals and kept Sloane to 6 touches in the last half in the GF, and kicked 3 in the first Q against the Dogs just two weeks ago.

Tigers too short for mine, $1.33 last i looked, i reckon $1.60 is closer to the mark in my humble opinion, Pies should be around $2.30ish.
Tiges by under 40 might be the way to go.

What a ******* match up. I love a big prelim in Melbourne. Can't beat a Friday night speccy at the G. Getting the feel Richmond might win by under a kick in a similar way the Pies edged Hawks in that 2011 encounter. Saints-Dogs in 2009 another nail biter. I hope it's tight, tough and low scoring like that one. It's funny because for a while I envisioned Richmond spanking anyone they met in the Prelim, even the Pies for the first few days after it was confirmed. So often the case your first thought it usually the correct one. I hope I'm wrong.
Anyway loving the build up, passion and excitement from both sets of fans and the football world and we have two cracking prelim's to look forward too. ******* great time of year.
BAAAAANNNNGGG!!!!!!!

De Goey has been mentioned heaps, sorry if I didn't list him again. Was talking about Richmond, well recognised that you have a stronger side.
Actually think this will be a very even game, Collingwood and West Coast are the sides that troubled us the most this year I think.
So really what does it mean? That more people expect the Tigers to win? Of course they do and rightfully so. Does it mean the Pies have no hope at all? No it doesn’t. Favourites get rolled all the time.
I don’t know if anyone really cares what the odds suggest because it has no influence on the result at all.

Tigers $1.90 to win by less than 40 looks juicy.
One kicked 3 goals in a gf and the other was just about the bog gf day and both premiership players,but all we hear we had injuries and a few outs.
Anyone know if you can get a ticket out of the line at the Mcc? I think I remember last year there was a portion of the line closer to the actual doors that was closed off once full and you could get a ticket out of that area and come back?

No way. Regardless of the outcome, PRE-GAME $1.60 is huge odds and way over priced for the following.
Richmond are the reigning premiers.
They've beaten Collingwood handily in the END in two meetings this season.
The Tigers have also won 4 of the last 5 games against Collingwood
Massive winning streak at the MCG
Have had the week off and are fully rested
Haven't been beaten for a while
Dusty
Great form against the Hawks and would have won by more if they didn't take their foot off the gas
Pies have already been beaten in the finals and travelled to Perth in week 1
Richmond are better. They're the best team in the comp and have been for some time.
Could they lose. Sure can. Anyone can be beaten. But the above reasons are why Richmond are priced the way they are.
I changed from saying hot air - did not wish to be rude to such a football expert.
1-39 at $2.10 is better value
Pretty sure most of the people saying we have/had injuries are Tigers supporters though.
