Firstly, 15 wins for the season, that's a fantastic effort and well done to the Tiger boys. What ever happens from here, the season is a success. First finals appearance since 2001! I was bloody 13 back then!
Now that we're here, how deep do we go? I was hoping that it worked out that we played Brisbane, Adelaide or Port Adelaide but Carlton it is! What a massive occasion that's gonna be. 90,000 at the MCG, can't wait! I think we will win ;) but can't see us going further than that. We will play the loser of Hawthorn vs Sydney. And yes I know we have belted Hawthorn the last 2 times but this is a different ball park now.. Although anything is possible!
What's everyone's thoughts?
Can't see us getting any further than the semis, Hawthorn/Sydney will be too much for us.

Yep i agree, ill be satisfied with that though
Yeah, I think we can make it through the first week but we'll go out in the semis.
So you think you will beat The Might Blues.
Delusional ::)
Haha, will be a good game.

Whether we should be there or not doesn't matter, all that matters is that we are there. Bring it on 8)
I shall refrain from commenting on our chances against the Blues after last time. :-[
I'm really looking forward to this ;D ;D
Pumped to be playing finals and it's been a great season, awesome for us to finish 5th. hopefully we beat Carlton and if we do I don't expect us to go any further. How about the changes for next week.
I'm thinking
In: Jroo, Newman, S.Edwards
Out: Orren, Petterd, White (if he's injured)
Yeah, as much as I want Ricky to play, he had an ordinary game and I can see him being one of the three omissions. :(
Three very solid inclusions though.
Get ready for a first round knockout lads! ;)

Carlton are the charity case, in by default and will go straight out ;)
The last time we played them meant nothing. We will smack them this time!

Not really haha. Didnt make finals last year, made finals this year. How we did it is irrelevant ;)
Pumped as! I agree with the changes you suggested Jroo! ;)

You had an injury riddled season last year though. There was no excuse this year, you all thought mick was gonna come in and go bang "premiership" but instead you finished 9th, slipped in by default and are now gonna get smashed by Richmond ;D haha at least I hope that's how it goes
Is the Carlton game already sold out?

Not too bad, I wasn't able to get on when it opened, but I'm happy to be going and be a part of a Richmond final.
Did any other Tiger supporters on here get seats. I'm pretty sure there's not much seats left now unless you look on eBay or something.

I bought 3 sets of tickets haha. One up the top, one standing room and one with "restricted viewing" on the bottom level. Ill make my decision on the day lol
I couldn't, my mate told me 2 hours after they went on sale that they were sold out.

Just saw some tickets on ebay cheapest were around 100 dollars, Flower that I'm a student.

Yeah the prices on eBay are inflated. I think there may be some standing room tickets left?
Can't wait for Sunday, got a couple of seats on the top level directly behind the Richmond goals, not the greatest spot but least I'll be there for the drought breaker.
Should be great cheering on Newy onto the ground for his first crack at finals.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Newy as the sub. Happy for him that he finally plays finals :)

There were tickets on eBay within minutes of them going on sale. Assholes that buy a bunch and sell them for double the price
I actually wouldn't be surprised if the Tiges got through to the prelims. If you get the win over Carlton, I can sense an upset brewing. And from what I can remember (at 2am mind you), you guys go really well against the Hawks, so would probably be hoping for a Sydney win this week.
So lads, what do we think the 22 will look like to face the Blues on Sunday?
Do you guys think Aaran Edwards will (or should) keep his spot with Jack coming back in this week?
Quote from: Rusty00 on September 05, 2013, 11:42:00 AM

Yeah, he definitely should. The guy kicked like 5 (iirc), they can't drop him after that...
Seeing as he is one of our few players with finals experience I'd say keep hi, and his accuracy in front of goals is very good.
The squad
B: Morris, Rance, Grimes
HB: Houli, Chaplin, Newman
C: Grigg, Cotchin, Jackson
HF: Vlastuin, A. Edwards, Ellis
F: Martin, Riewoldt, Vickery
R: Maric, Deledio, Conca
IC from: Foley, S. Edwards, King, Tuck, Petterd, Stephenson, Dea
In: Riewoldt, Newman, Dea, S. Edwards
Out: White
I'd expect the last three named there to be cut from the extended bench. So Ricky, Orren and Dea.
IMO it'll be:
IN Riewoldt, Edwards, Newman
OUT: Petterd, Stephenson, White
Pretty happy with that line up, pretty damn solid 8)

This picture is simply phenomenal. Was posted on the Tigers Facebook page.
@AFL_PKeane: Final Sunday teams;Rich
Int; Tuck S Edwards King Petterd.
Em; Dea Foley Stephenson.
Newman Riewoldt S Edwards in for Foley White Stephenson.
What the flower!! Foley out :'(
Wow, that's really surprising to see Axel omitted... I would have thought my boy Ricky would have missed. Is Axel carrying a knock or something, or just really unlucky? ???
Foley omitted.... He deserves to play a final.. :o
I'd really feel for Foles if we lost tomorrow... :-X :(
Foley has been average. No place for sentiment in finals.

TIGER TIME!
Man I cannot wait. Just a few hours to go.
This is it...
Went to mass this morning and prayed the Tiges get up. Then afterwards had a word to my parish priest who's a Carlton supporter. Rustled his jimmies I did. ;D :P
#GoTiges
Bad luck to the tiges. Good season none the less.
Pre season we need to concentrate on stopping the massive momentum shifts against us. Need to be able to stop the bleeding, happens to often.
Farewell to Tucky, what a warrior
Here, here, Quinny, well said.
Farewell Vickery, Grigg & Petterd, nowhere near serious enough about their football. Doesn't mean enough to them, continually taking the p1s5!

Vickery will be alright. He's still young for a big fella. Grigg and Petterd are soft but good depth players.
I can't wait to unleash Mcbean! He will be the Richmond CHF for the next 10 years which will leave Vickery as third fiddle.
Don't hate on Ricky lads, he's a jet.
Do you guys think Newman will go around again? I didn't particularly care who won today but I did feel for Newman when they showed him at the end of the game :(
Yeah to be honest, I felt for Newman too. :-\
Seems like the nicest bloke ever!
hasnt he signed already?
Newman will play another year imo

Lol I love how the votes were at 1 vote for out in the first week before the game and now it is up to six votes after the game. What geniuses :o
Sums up our weekend. :P

Hahaha Ivvy :-*
Guy gives his heart and soul week-in-week-out, shame the same can't be said about Grigg and Vickery...
In all honesty, I don't think those guys are what we need moving forward. They just don't work hard enough, gut running, especially Grigg, he just spectates. Vickery cannot ruck to at all, kills us everytime Maric has to rest.
