This season kind of feels like we’ve worked our way to the last level of that old computer game ‘Wolfenstein‘
and now we have to get past the unstoppable hitler guy in the mechsuit to win...

He was pretty easy to kill in the end. The hardest part was getting to him

Haven’t tigers won 8 out of 9 coming into the GF?

I was looking at finals form only. In this years case.

QF: Our loss was more respectable
SF: Richmond needed to about the third quarter to get over saint whereas Geelong dominated
PF: Geelong's comprehensive performance vs Richmond falling over the line.

Its a grand final- If Richmond start sh*t we can retaliate with apprehension about suspensions.

Yeah hope Danger sledgehammers a few of their flogs. Crash and bash without fear of being rubbed out. Play hard and take it right up to them.

This game will need some tactical shifting, with Richmond's secret weapon being NANKERVIS, who seems to always drop down to defence and steal a few crucial marks. Against a shorter forward line, this is my worry. I'm not that concerned with the Bogan King (a true champ) or The Knee or the Dirty Cheap Shot skipper because Tigers are good all over the ground. Their system is what stops good teams from beating them. Get this right and we're in with a shot.

Nank was made to look good by Port's Hail Mary bombs into the forward line, particularly late in the game when they became desperate and lacked composure.

Stanley, Blicavs and even Hawkins should give him a torrid time and hopefully work him over.

Bit unfair that Richmond can go the knuckle knowing they face Carlolton in the first round next year

 

[Stan The Caddy]

How good is it to wake up on a Sunday morning after the prelim final and know that we still have another match this season

It's pretty damn fine!

I think you'd take the hit next year regardless though if it helps win you a grand final.

Things that feel different this year...

- Team is more even. Last few years we regularly left it to a handful of players and half the side would just go along for the ride. This year we're getting contributions from everyone on the park.
- Squad is fit and niggle free. By the time September rolled around in previous years several players were banged up and sore and played like it. Joel's finger aside, we're pretty much injury free.
- Won't have to play in front of 75,000 rabid Richmond fans this time around.

Who stops Dusty? If we can limit his influence it’ll go a long way to victory.

Parfitt at stoppages and if/when he drifts forward Kolo or maybe Bews

I feel like this is where having a genuine tagger (AKA Ling) would be so beneficial. You can't afford to be swapping players on him, because when players rotate through the position, either you have two of your men standing near Dusty, or you have a small period of time where he gets space between two players watching him. If we had a tagger, I'd wear the prick like a glove. No space given whatsoever.

There doesn't seem to be a whole lotta respect for our club, and its chances in the GF, on the Tiger's board

Rightly so tbh. They've earned their billing as strong favourites, and we have really choked against them at pivotal moments.

With that said, being the underdog is the perfect fit for us, and has worked wonders this last couple of weeks. Been talked up too many times and then failed. Now we have that tag, we have a bunch of players that no longer drink their own bathwater. Took a while, but we're definitely in the right state of mind this finals series

If we had Ling he’d play 90% forward.

If we win the melts on the tugger board will be legendary not to mention the Hawks board

As a bonus i will end up band for a while i am betting

Yep Dusty would just run away from him and hide in the forward line

Doesn't he do that already?

 

[xtatik222k]

Yep Dusty would just run away from him and hide in the forward line

This would be a win for us, because he'd then only have access to the ball 50% of the time, instead of 100%

Are there still Hawforn supporters out there? The ones i know don’t do footy any more.
