Assuming all goes to plan this Sunday at Skilled Stadium, who would we rather play?

Fremantle or the Demons?

I'd probably prefer to play the Dockers as they've always been suspect interstate, where as against Melbourne we would be playing them at the MCG, thus nullifying any advantage we had of coming 6th.

I think we would beat both regardless, but just wondering who you all would like to play.

Lets worry about young Nathan starting to send the chills through the richmond camp like his old man used to.

Hopefully we get the win and then Play Freo.

No doubt the Dockers, we have a shocking record vs Melb at the G and we have only played there twice this year and not since rnd 3, so it has to be the Perth side for sure

freo in a canter. no doubt at all. anyone who'd rather us play melbourne has no idea.

btw, I don't think it really matters. I'd back us to beat either in a final. we are a much better side than both of these teams.

Jm , I agree that I think we can beat either but... I think Melbourne is probably more predictable hence I think we would get over them in a final. Freo is a very dangerious side because its best can be very good. Id say right now, Pavlich is the best player in the comp, McFarlin, Farmer and the rest are a bit hot and cold but their best is white hot.

On the other hand Melbournes backline is sus, with Nathan,KK who loves Melbourne,Palyfair,Chapman and the Dog we would the firepower to worry them. With Harley back to hold Robertson I feel we should have their forwards measure so it comes down to mids's.If we can maintain the tackle count of the WC match we should keep guys like Johnson under the pump.
All Im saying is I dont think its a clear cut Freo.

Our side is already looking stronger since we beat you. A lot of dees have come back from injury, I think you would struggle against us at the G at night especially. Bruce will definitely be playing too, he usually tears you guys up.

THINK the Tigers might give you the heave ho before any finals are played!!

Putting the horse before the cart aren't we.

Cocky, cocky.

Your form guide read four straight losses before the win over an obviously blase Eagles.

Think your best bet is playing Freo over here, but don't count the Purple People Eaters out.

And beating Hawthorn is something to gloat about?

From a Melbourne perspective, I’d rather you play Freo. In an elimination final THIS year I would be pretty nervous against Geelong as they would be pumped to beat us.

BTW jmain14, Geelong are not better than Melbourne. Neither team has reached its peak with current lists, but the better team is yet to be determined.

WELL at least we beat Essendon Catman.

From memory, so too did Hawthorn.

I wasn't gloating about the win over the Hawks, but you and your buddies are gloating over one win in five weeks as if you are premiership material.

The Eagles win wasnt even mentioned till you arrived, so i dont know how you think we are gloating.
