Geelong vs Sydney 8 points (57,000)

Greater Western Sydney vs West Coast 6 points (14,000)
We've sold 17k tkts as of yesterday and the crowd for the round 22 Eagles game was 15.7k, albeit thete'll be ni free tkts for a final.
Think you need to revise the crowd up a little

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Sydney will beat Geelong on Friday night but I'm highly amused that most of the non-tip discussion in this thread is Richmond supporters laying the boot into Geelong and it's fans. Very classy.
No one giving Geelong a chance. I think they'll win though.

Geelong - 14 points
GWS - 32 points

Cats defeat Sydney by 15 points. 55,000 Another Friday night game makes it difficult for us cats fans coming from Geelong after work.

GWS defeat West Coast by 26 points. 21000 Cameron is not the ideal out but they couldn't keep carrying so many talls, it may help them.

Nice chip on your shoulder. Everyone in this thread is tipping Sydney comfortably even Cats fans.

Good to see we are in your head though.

As I said, I'm tipping Sydney too - if you re-read what I wrote I said 'most of the non-tipping discussion'

Nicer chip on your shoulder I guess.

I reckon they vindicate themselves on Friday and beat you in the GF.
Getting way ahead of yourself. We are more than capable of shitting the bed next week.

Apologies. Mis read it. Carry on.

It'd be the most 'Richmond' thing possible for BF, won't happen though as Geelong would need a miracle to even make it to grand final day.
Not really. I think you'll roll Sydney and then Adelaide. Let's see how bad this bye is. You also match up well against Adelaide.

Geelong vs Sydney - 15 points (72K)
GWS vs West Coast - 9 points (20K)

You know what? Although I have had a gut feeling that Sydney will smash Geelong since the match-up was announced, it isn't often that Geelong get thrashed two weeks in a row. They lost by 51 points, and I don't think that they'll put up a performance like that again. Besides, Geelong isn't usually that bad in the wet weather so I don't think it'll be easy for Sydney if it rains.

Look, I saw a lot of it as post-match banter in the few days after the match, but anyone continuing now that the new week has rolled on is pushing it way too far. Just ignore it.

did it rain last Friday? rain wont save the cats..
Geelong are normally alright in the rain with players like Hawkins, which is why many of us thought it would be a tight game as Richmond go alright in the rain too. Don't know what happened though.

Don't think they have been that bad in here unless posts have been deleted?

I've been a horrible tipster this year and whenever I've tipped against the cats I've been wrong every time. Whether that be in 1998 and beating the dogs at Optus oval when they were 1st and more recently against GWS at spotless and Richmond at Simonds when we were injury hit.
When no one gives us a chance we generally do well so long may it continue.

Sydney by 20
GWS by 11
