Next Week

[astro_toby]

next week is our chance to make the finals - if we are going to get the upset we need to get that 4th win (of course assuming we do what we have to do nagainst the lions tomorrow night, melbourne & freo) - Geelong is as ripe as ever to get upset.

That game tonight will leave several of their players very sore, tired and battered - tonights game would have been extremely tiring physically and mentally on them.

do the job on brizzy this week - and next week is our chance to pounce

the game is really important
when they r*ped us during "that game" I said that ever single game we play after that against them is important, time for the kids to fight those demons and win some respect back for the club....also we get an idea of where we are against the measuring stick

Sure next week is a huge opportunity, but Geelong are pretty bloody good...
Personally I think the easiest option is the Adelaide game, and I expect a good showing against Hawthorn.

But we can't afford to drop any of the 'gimmes' either!

Reckon that's gonna be the real measure of our improvement. We usually catch a whiff of the finals and totally drop our bundle. I wanna see if these young blokes really want to take this club forward.

Its ideal that we play Geelong after the Hawks. Just maybe their guard will be slightly dropped and just maybe there is an opportunity for Terry to do with his charges what he and his Dogs did to the Bombers in 2000.


Funny that I remember where I was and what I was doing that night in 2000, probably more so than any other day/night that year... even my birthday. Wouldnt have a clue what I did on my birthday but remember that night well.

Don't want to sound negative but the cats will smash us, that is the reality. Let also not forget the are likely to have G Ablett back.

 

[tiggywigs]

We're getting well ahead of ourselves. The Lions still boast a formidable array of talent and know their season is on the line. Let's talk about the Cats after we know the score from tonight's game. Go Tiges!

I'd rather focus on tonight because we can forget about next week if we dont win tonight.

One week at a time firebird ....

I dont think it should matter if we are in contention for the finals or not phoenix. Win/lose/draw tonight, next week should be a massive challenge and, as was said, Geelong are ripe for the picking.

But it does matter for finals contention which is how Astroman started his post. Thing is, I'm a one game it a time man.

No doubt it'd be great to win in any situation.

But it would be even better to do it after a win tonight.

Exactly right. Lions are in the 8 for a reason. They've had a few down weeks, but boast some real talent.
Looking forward to watching the game from Axcess 1 seats tonight.

Can get the Axcess 1 tickets anytime, so will let you know next time Iddy. All gone tonight though.

 

[emperor]

LMAO @ Richmond fans thinking ahead, of all people Confident we can do the business this week...but still very nervous

Have you people not learnt???

Or does the paper bag over the head trick work wonders for ones sanity?

Axcess one tickets are a good position but they lack atmosphere as I found out last week.

I think these ones are in the forward pocket. I've heard they have a bar serving heavy beers instead of the midstrength in cattle class though.
By the way, how did you go to Axcess 1 when the game was at the G last week?

Naa, it was Saints and Hawks I saw with Axcess one tickets.

Ah ok I was on Centre wing last week and all the atmosphere was at the Lockett end so if you're in the forward pocket you might be closer. Pretty quiet on the wing.

Of course it could just be a St Kilda home game thing that it lacked atmosphere . . .

Anything that does not involve punt rd. lacks character and atmosphere
