AFL Round 23: Richmond v Western Bulldogs Saturday 2:10pm AEST @MCG

[db26]

Eagles not relevant. We're just a team that can't win at the MCG. Richmond are being talked up like Geelong 2009 and Essendon 2000 had a bastard child.

All media hype that's all if we start believing that crap it's our own worst enemy.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHMOND!!

Didn't play a hard game and understandbly coasted a bit but still got the win. Great regular season Tigers!! Thanks.

Both sides played very well, Dogs bit unlucky in front of goals but that’s footy.

In other news in the last 100 years...

You could argue the club 'protected' the players who were taking recreational drugs but they weren't protected by the AFL.
It's a false equivalency to what I posted.

Can you please explain how they were not protected by the AFL? From memory only Cousins was banned for 2 years. The club got off pretty much unscathed. Additionally since 2003 WCE have had approximately 900 more free kicks than opponents around 500 more than the next best in North Melbourne.

What blue print ?.A game that ment nothing and not getting injuries more important.

Hitting shorter targets going forward instead of kicking it down the line for the Richmond's defenders to clean up. Tiger's may have been just trying to get through the game but I still think there's something there that opposition teams could work on.

Wtf are you talking about? He is a teenager playing against men. He is coming along nicely. He is entitled to **** up occasionally .

Naughton is an outstanding prospect. Dogs have got a rippa.

Hard to see Richmond winning again this year. Won't play finals next year

Well done Dogs. Enjoy Mad Monday.

PS Multi looking good. Bombers line, Dogs Line , Saints Line.
Come on Saints +25.5

Hopefully puts an end to the “Richmond’s flag to lose” rubbish.

Would be pretty bullish about the future if I was a Dogs supporter. 8 wins and several very credible defeats with the youngest team in the comp is a great platform.

Thanks. Good to see a Richmond supporter with a bit of humility.

 

[Bulldog1954]

Shattering end today, but really pleased with how we ended the season.

 

[dean33]

How is it possible for Richmond to lose the free kick count every week and yet still be so kissed on the dick?

That's a potential 2 goal turnaround.

It’s not possible, it’s just you not realising your bias.

They said that last year. Next minute we are minor premiers.

That’s actually most of us!

 

[Grockadoc]

Dogs and Eagles especially exposed our weakness. Play possession football. Retain it. Don't go long. Hit short targets and slowly make your way up the field, or switch when you can. Been a trend the last few weeks. Geelong, Essendon and Dogs have all tried the switch and go through the middle and it has been somewhat effective.

 

[Cam1967]

That’s actually most of us!

Yep, the mainly silent majority. I was bought up in a house of Female =Tiges and Male = Dogs. Soft spot for you guys. Good luck in September

 

[dean33]

Hawks will win the flag if Tigers go out in straight sets imo

21 consecutive wins at the mcg and you think we are going to drop 2 in a row?

 

[dean33]

Or maybe the Dogs have found a way to beat Richmond.

Everyone finds a way to beat Richmond without actually beating them.

 

[zacaxel1975]

Concerning signs for Richmond. Looking like they might struggle in 2 weeks.

Yep, bruise free footy in a dead rubber, plenty of goals to jack, got the win. Big concerns all round down at punt road...

 

[SCRAY72]

Thanks. Good to see a Richmond supporter with a bit of humility.

Ron is great. Respects the opposition

Why would it? You're 3 games clear on top of the ladder and just put away an up-and-coming side without getting out of 2nd gear.

Tigers fans would be thanking thier lucky stars that it hit the post.

That’s 2 weeks in a row now where Tigers scraped home you fans need to accept that the Tigers aren’t as invincible as you think.

Yeah i look forwards to essendon testing us in finals

Wtf are you talking about? He is a teenager playing against men. He is coming along nicely. He is entitled to **** up occasionally .

But he's not entitled to be called out for dumb plays? What do you mean, what am I talking about? I said that he took some very strong defensive marks, but one time he turned inboard, decided against it and kicked a 15 meter turnover that resulted in a Richmond goal, and then his very lazy and poor effort to allow that final Richmond goal was horrendous. Just because you're young doesn't mean I'm going to exempt you for really bad errors. Ofcourse I'm not writing off his career based on a couple of mistakes.

Thanking what lucky stars? A win put us 2 games clear and a loss one game. We played terrible today and still got the win. Let’s see how we go in 2 weeks.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Dogs kick straight, they win.

A much improved back half of the season.
