Eagles in an upset by 7 points

 

[Cuzz09]

Looks Iike a fair bit of rain on Saturday.

Can't see us kicking more than half a dozen goals TBH

Should be a gross game

Martin 20 disposals, 0.1 & 1 goal assist.
Richmond by 10 points.

 

[Dr Tigris]

What a game to watch .. if you like the Keystone Kops

 

[Forward Press]

Richmond fans that are pessimistic have no reason to be. The only light at the end of the tunnel for the Eagles at the moment is an oncoming train. Youngsters showing promise are starting to tire, and none of the first 22 are due back this week.

Richmond by 72.

I don't think Richmond will lose at the MCG (surely not!), but unless West Coast kick 6 points for the match or something like that, I don't know where this hypothetical 72-point margin will come from. Realistically speaking, we've scored over 80 points twice this season and are 16th in points for. Also, Lynch (who kicked a total 9.6 against West Coast across both 2022 games) isn't playing. I don't see a big margin like that happening especially if it rains because we've been terrible in the rain this year.

Fair points, but West Coast also now have the lowest percentage in the competition and there are no reinforcements coming back this week.

Richmond we all agree are pretty bad at the moment but they haven't approached West Coast Round 7 levels of bad. I expect Riewoldt to kick a bag.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Richmond can't hit the side of a barn door going forward, Eagles can't hit the side of a barn door transitioning from defence. This could be a nil all draw with all the play being between wing and half forward for the tigs

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Richmond are struggling right now, but no way will they lose to an Eagles side that has several non standard AFL players in it right now (mainly due to injuries, not naming names)

Hawks often lost to Richmond who had a similar set up. It could happen

 

[spudmaster]

And if this one doesn't whet your appetite, the Dockers-Hawks blockbuster is on later that evening.

Saturday looking like a good day to get all those things done you've been putting off for a while (gardening/weeding, visiting the in-laws, asking the kids how they are etc)

 

[JackFlash]

Tigers in a nailbiter..

 

[caveman72]

Be lucky to get 20,000. Should move the game to Marvel, Tassie or Ballarat

Just play it any local suburban ground.
Really can't see more than a few thousand attending.

at least you look likely to get Harley Reid! Young Dusty apparently.

 

[Osho]

Tiges on the quintuple rebound can't lose this one.

Shirley?

 

[NetworkNerd]

Prob 25K to attend. If it was at Marvel it might be interesting but Tigers shouldn't lose at the MCG.

Losing this game at the MCG would simply be a disaster. It would be Hardwick’s worst loss in his tenure IMO, surpassing both the infamous Karmichael Hunt game + our first loss to Gold Coast, the 2011 Port Adelaide loss, and the ugly Tom Hafey tribute game loss. West Coast are limiting training this week because they only have 26 AFL players available!

Only loss that would be worse this millennium would be that 222-65 loss against Geelong in 2007. So we simply cannot afford to lose this one. We may not smash them, but winning this one at home is non-negotiable.
