Richmond v Geelong - Rd 21, 2016 - 3:20 @ MCG

[MOONEY 21]

Apart from the triple premiership players and Brownlow medallist, presumably?

a few champs left in the team, but as a collective, this side is not a champion side.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

as a saints supporter, what do you know about finals intensity?

Wow seems some Cat supporters are pretty touchy about this subject

Maybe a realisation that deep down this Geelong side is not going to cut it in the heat of a final???

I just don't think this Geelong team have what it takes to be a Premiership contender - too many downhill skiiers for my liking

Just an opinion from a neutral observer - though reckon deep down most Cats supporters know it as well

Maybe, however we're still in with a chance. The fact of the matter is that this year each top eight team has a team that they like and dislike playing. For example, Geelong would be confident playing Adelaide and the Bulldogs, whilst wanting to steer well clear of Sydney. It's an even year where three good games in September will get you a flag.

In the heat of the finals Saints players will be doin lines with Jake Carlisle in Vegas.

..but yeah no s**t.

Yep celebrating the fact that finals is all but guaranteed next year ....... along with easy wins against the Cats

you go girl..

50 years.

 

[teknodeejay]

Just had another look at Carlton's list and feel better already.

Both lists are appalling.
in saying that, a list that was tipped to finish dead last with 1 or zero wins but has managed 6 wins, versus a team that was piled on to push for top 4 and contention, has only 2 more wins than the side you're rubbishing, and is on the way down.
Yep... I can see why you're feeling better... :/

 

[teknodeejay]

this current geelong team is not a champion team. They havent achieved anything....yet.

There's still champions in that team, including the coach.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Cool .... such a original inventive deflection

Anyway plenty of flights free to join us on 12th Sept ...... just be sure though to pack those crazy wacky dress up costumes as well - it will make doing those lines just that little more fun

 

[Connoisseur]

Embarrassing for 3 quarters but I'll take it. Let's hope they've finally learnt their lesson and don't make the mistake of taking lightly the next 2 bottom 10 teams we have to play.

Melbourne at home in the last round might be a worry considering you will be coming off an interstate trip and that they beat you last year down at the Cattery

Should be a good final H&A round with plenty at stake

 

[LongBomb]

Really feel for the Hawk supporters. Chin up fellas

You guys couldn't even beat the rabble that is Brisbane. I wouldn't be making assumptions on a steep upward trajectory just yet. We had nothing to play for and almost beat a top 4 side. You can look at things very differently.

 

[Lester Burnham]

Lol at Geelong. Pretenders.

GeeLOL

LOLkarma is a bitch!

 

[LongBomb]

**** geelong are kissed on the dick ****in pricks

6.9 when it counted in the last. 15 scoring shots.
Richmond on the other hand scored once - with 20 seconds to go.

 

[Xtreme]

Only Richmond can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

* I say this knowing that Hawthorn too have given up the ghost (against Brisbane in the mid 90's!)

 

[HaroLad]

Love how Ducky abuses the umpires when a decision doesn't go his way.

Richmond is a pathetic club, enjoy the next five years of mediocrity you flog.

 

[Hoops]

Richmond got ******* robbed by the umpires in the last quarter. Absolutely REAMED.

You are the "right in front of me" guy, aren't you?

 

[SloaneysDanger]

You are the "right in front of me" guy, aren't you?

Sorry, never been to the MCG.

 

[Hoops]

It is not about the influence, even though I believe Richmond would have won if Jack got that holding free kick, which in the midfield is paid every day of the week.

The problem here is the difference. The difference between putting the whistle away at one end of the ground, and then blowing the whistle like it is nothing at the other end.

did you miss the first three quarters?

 

[Ancient Tiger]

did you miss the first three quarters?

What? The consistent high free kicks that ONLY Selwood gets paid? I didn't miss those.

 

[HaroLad]

Geelong to get a towelling at the G come September!

We beat you twice...

 

[aCunningPlan]

If you want to nitpick I picked two goals Richmond got in the third quarter due to blatant illegal shepherding in the contest...but does that matter? No, it is what it is.

Does his instrument's size reflect anything about you?
