AFL 2018 - R1 - Richmond v Carlton, 7.25pm, MCG, Thu, Mar 22

[Pakenhamsaint]

So where is the extra 10k if it was a sellout?

Bringing kreuzer back on was a big mistake. Have looked a lot less dangerous since.

Kade doesnt stop trying - respect

He is in my Supercoach. I need him to give 100% for all 4 quarters

 

[mrmonkey]

Decent effort heading in to junk time being 2 players down for a while with one being your No.1 ruck we cannot replace.

Injury gods just hate us but we have shown a heap of good signs but just lack that natural luck which we never get regarding keeping players on the field.

Not bad for a potential Wooden Spoon team and bottom 4 lock on here i suppose against the premiers and we will take it!

Happen to Melbourne last year we had Richmond but then got 2 injuries and then Richmond over ran us. We were 20 points up. But Anyway when a teams in winning things just seem to go their way.

Rance would have had a few kicked on him tonight if Carlton could kick to a leading forward.

 

[Power Raid]

a great roving goal!

 

[The Joker]

Very smart Sammo

 

[Chism]

true, and taking nothing away from them last year because they were awesome in the finals, but with a LOT of luck they had almost no injuries to key players. what i like about richmond is that they keep at it and find ways to win. their close losses last year, they win them this year. but they really can't afford to lose a Martin or a Rance or Riewoldt. their depth hasn't really been challenged yet.

that's not taking anything away from their flag at all. they had their best team as did the teams they played in the finals. but i question their depth.

Tigers lose Dusty they are a borderline finals team.

Jack Riewoldt would have to be the biggest knob in the AFL... how many tickets does the bell end have on himself!...

He romps around looking like he’s carrying two invisible suitcases..

 

[90N90S]

This is a awesome effort by the Blues refusing to die with all those injuries.

 

[Hoops]

Cant see Salvagni getting too many games.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Jack Silvagni looks like a teenage kid playing a mans game.

 

[SdKfz 181]

After this? Dont think so. At AO you will be smashed. We have the umpires over there.

This year is a new year. Carlton taking you all the way - how fearsome!!

Even if you do smash us next week, we will still be the reigning Premiers!!

 

[perthblue]

Cant see Salvagni getting too many games.

Whos that

 

[Scotland]

Rance gets the ball after the Carlton player kicks it over Kruezer's head and kicks to Kruezer's opponent in space. Bruce: 'you'd pick him over any player, wouldn't you?'.

Curnow contested mark against Rance. Silence. In for another sensational year of commentary.

crowd 90,151 first time a side has 4 crowds in a row over 90k

Surely an asterix is required given one of those games should have been in Geelong

 

[Lsta062]

Carlton has scored our highest two scores conceded at the MCG in 2017 and 2018. What about that?

 

[Gak Attack]

Jack Riewoldt would have to be the biggest knob in the AFL... how many tickets does the bell end have on himself!...

Seen your captain?

 

[SterlingArcher]

Jack Silvagni looks like a teenage kid playing a mans game.

This is his first game as not a teenager so yeah it's pretty much true.

 

[CrowsFlag2018]

Even if you do smash us next week, we will still be the reigning Premiers!!

Yes. That is called a fact. Its been 6 months - noone outside Richmond cares. While you guys are looking backwards everyone else is looking forwards.

 

[90N90S]

How many contested balls has Crippa had?

 

[The Joker]

Man I cant wait for the "Dimma is the worst ever to play/coach three Premierships for three different clubs" thread...

 

[TheFourPillars]

how does it clear up the game?

Well encroaching into the zone stops the player from releasing the ball laterally and cuts the angles that a player can dispose to. Its why teams do it. It curtails fast ball movement and then by extension forces a kick to a contest where the rolling maul may resume

 

[Footy 1st]

Htb against the Tiges? No?
