Doggies are confident

[wilson kangaa]

As much as I dislike Richmond and even more their fickle supporters I don't see 08' as a year they'll enjoy. With their younger players learning steadily this year from their truly talented players ie Richardson, Brown & Johnson, I can see a marked improvement in 09' with many tough battles with the Dogs and alike to develop. What I don't see is them being able to back up a decent Rd 4 win against a team which is very settled, have a solid rebounding backline, highly talented midfield and a forward line consistently kicking 20 goals using 12+ goal kickers. I do feel for the Young Tiges' supporters who in my life time have had little to celebrate. I agree one Flag on our behalf is dismal compared to your celebrated history, but until Richmond fully unite I don't forsee them adding to their Premiership list.

Doggy supporters forgive real fans of this Cogga Rules muppet. He is not a true reflection of a very passionate group of supporters.

Cogga. Shut up you moron.

 

[want2spoodge_pettifer]

agreed. i like the dogs. my second team. i don't wanna bag them, i just want a good contest. i don't think they're getting ahead of themselves just yet.

 

[stefoid]

enough with the history lessons!

yes, we are confident, and why not? so far we have the runs on the board.

this table is instructive:

Indeed... Best wishes for a good hard game

Agreed, was more of an attack at Cogga Rules then anything.

This post is getting a bit silly and now we have 2/3rds of the doggies supporter base over here telling us that we are failures.

Only one thing counts in footy......PREMIERSHIPS!!!!!

And yes we have ten of them and the Doggies only have one but at the end of the day Carlton and Essendon have 16 and the Maggots have 14 so both Richmond and the Doggies need to get their arse into gear

 

[wilson kangaa]

Stefoid. Enough.

Both sides will come to play. Obvious animosity between the sides. Fill the Dome Sunday, show that the Doggies have a large following.

1 and 2 for contested ball in the AFL this season. Be a tough, hard game of footy.

This will not be a shootout. 13 goals could win it.

Doggies seem to be harder at the ball this season, although still play shootout type games.

Should be a classic.

Griffen better come to play. I have been told he is going to cop it - with his comments some time ago - about CANCER at our club. Richmond players have not forgotten.

This game could be a demolition derby. Last man standing affair.

May the tougher and more physical side win.

Ryan Griffen - meet Jake King.

Tiges to win more hard pill and win by 15 points.

Morton the difference.

What did Griffen say about 'CANCER'? I remember him saying Richmond gave up when they were demolished by 115pts. Even an ardent Tiges supporter at that game would have agreed with his comments. But what's this about 'CANCER'.

 

[wilson kangaa]

Gas you find out. Griffen may find out Sunday.

 

[Butane]

Gas you find out. Griffen may find out Sunday.

Stop making shit up. What did Griffen say about 'CANCER' and your club. Please provide source and stop talking out of your arse.

I hardly think Ryan Griffen is fearful going into this game. He basically said what everyone else was thinking. To think otherwise after a Round 1 115 point drubbing would be having your head in the sand.

13 goals will not be enough to win this game. Both teams have a lot of runners and there will be many uncontested possies for both sides.

 

[#1 Dogs Fan]

Confident of Winning = YES

Cocky - NO

I honestly will be very disappointed if we lose this game. The reason for that is I rate the dogs highly this season and for us to be a very good team we need to win the games we are favorite to win. Far to many times in the past we have won matches we are not meant to win then try to back it up but lose to a weak team in Carlton or something.

This game will be a great one and will be won in the Middle. It will come down to fitness and I honestly believe we have more depth and fitness in the middle then you guys

Dogs by 20

 

[kizzaob]

Too true

Richmond, Carlton are 2 examples of supporters talking about past success (most of it before they were born)

That's pretty stupid seeing Carlton won the Flag in 1995.


We shouldn't get ahead of our selves, Freo played terribly and it's obvious doggies are the real deal this year.

 

[kizzaob]

agreed. i like the dogs. my second team. i don't wanna bag them, i just want a good contest. i don't think they're getting ahead of themselves just yet.

agreed, i thoroughly enjoy watching the doggies play.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Im glad you guys beat Freo. We would have been too overconfident otherwise.

 

[Gooka]

Can't see too many matchups that won't go our way. I think we should win by a fair way.

 

[smasha]

I can't believe you Tiger supporters...doom and gloom for a few weeks, sack the coach, get rid of half the side (including Richo) sack Miller and the Board, play for draft picks, chew up "Dils", Tambling, Brown, Hyde, JON
and now after one win you're going to smash everyone by 10 goals!

Wisdom...

The media creates all the Wallace sacking crap more than the supporters.

If Richmond play like they did on Sunday all the time,well we're happy to keep him.

Just saying it like it is when it happens.

Cmon Terry this is a win you'd love more than anything.

Get that smug idiot Smorgon crying out from Telstra Dome.

Nathan Brown-carve em up son.

I wish I was as much an idiot as Smorgan, I'd be filthy rich!!!

Good times I remember the media that week saying Griffen had previously graduated from Aker's 'mouthing-off' school.

Nathan Brown's met Brian Harris/Lake before , I've posted a video of Harris slamming him to the floor on that great night where we flogged richmond by 115 pionts. Feel free to youtube it.

I hope Hahn slams McMahon on sunday

 

[bullish23]

Seems to be a bit a feeling and its only monday! The weekend's game should be a ripper if the players have similar emotions as us bigfooty supporters.

Should be a fierce first 10 minutes with the crowd getting right into it.

 

[tigerbelly]

2 finals apperances in 25 years is embarrasing i know

Not as embarrassing as 1 premiership in your entire history!

Eat em Alive TIGERS

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Should be a good match.The key to us is winning or at least breaking even out of the middle.The doggies will not be able to cope with our talls up fwd.Whereas the doggies will have to win out of the middle.
Our 2 main threats are obviously Cooney and Griffen who both are in great form while Murphy has to be watched closely.
Richo on the wing will be interesting.Do the doggies go with a Mitch Hahn or perhaps Young Hill?
I wouldnt be surprised if Jake king lines up on Gilbee

Dogs by 20 goals

Edited for Cockiness

 

[Truetiger]

Well i started barracking for the dogs when i was 5. So in the last 25 years we have made the finals around 10 times to your 2. I don't care what happened before i was alive, i certainly have had a better time following the dogs than if i had of choosen Richmond, even though we have been terrible at certain times during that period.

Whats the point of making the finals its about winning the premiership? Making the finals is nothing winning the flag is everything. So to come on here and say u made the finals 10times big deal how often did you win it in that time 0 so we all failed. As someone said there will be more tiger fans there on sunday. Dogs and Roos should get together they lack fans and if they join as one might just get more people to your games.

Thanks for the ammunition Tigers supporters


Good luck to your team
