Richmond v Sydney

How to watch whilst the wife hogs the TV for her Raiders?

Might have to examine those nefarious ways that are used for said mentioned club when we can't be bothered to hit up the pub.

We don't have any idea how the team would go without Josh because he never misses. Indeed, he's not missed a game since he joined the club, and is the current "most consecutive games" holder (taking over from Deledio after he missed a few at the start of this season).

No doubt at some point we'll find out how the team goes without JPK (other than when he retires, of course) but I'd rather not do so in a game when we're also missing Hanners and the Mighty Mouse.

Starting to rain at the 'G ????.

Just checked out the Tiger's forum,there isn't a lot of confidence there,
Most positive comment was someone hoping the Swans play to their full strength as it is a good test of where the Tigers really are

Eddie Maguire is certainly the master of the misleading spin. He just opened the pre-game show with a whinge about how easy the Swans' run home is because we only play two more games against current top 8 sides. (And yes, he managed to get a COLA and Academy whinge in there too). Of course, he didn't choose to point out that we've already played 7 games against the other top 8 teams, whereas the Pies have played 4. The Pies have 4 more to go, compared to our 2.

Another way of looking at things is that both clubs double up against Hawthorn and Essendon. We then double up against Richmond, GWS (for obvious reasons) and Port. The Pies against Carlton, Adelaide and West Coast. Not really much difference, especially given Richmond were expected to be far better this year than they are. I realise we finished higher last year and hence should have a slightly harder draw. Overall we do, just slightly.

A lot of tape on the boys legs

What's with the drums?

What's with the drums?

Was pretty cool. Maybe Richmond found an alternative to cheerleaders.

Shut up Eddie. Enough with the bondi billionaires. I'm sure you would welcome buddy to collingwood if he had chosen to go there. But he DIDNT. Get over it

Eddie has really turned up the BS meter in the last six months. Good to see he got a big whack from Colin Carter over 'equalisation'.

Interesting test without Hannebery. As Horse says, he's a rare player being so strong inside and outside. Plus the Tigers aren't playing to badly and have a good record against us at the G.

I'm tipping a 3-goal win.

Definitely haven't come with the right mind set. Not manning up...not running hard.

[Melbournehammer]
