3 wins to go!

Andy.. Another White Goodman Richmond hater. Get used to it boys, a successful Richmond is a hated Richmond  8)

Buddy out of form was he? Wow I coulda sworn he kicked 8 just last weekend against a top 4 side on Carlisle who is fancied as an all Australian chance.
Rance has been fantastic all year. The only player that has got the better of him was cloke and all of that damage was done in one quater with no one giving him any support. Rance would be right in AA selectors minds right now, don't worry about that!

You guys do seem to attract a lot of haters  ???

[Mailman the 2nd]

Rance is certainly an underrated defender it seems

Just saw a bunch of the boys including Axel and Newy walking back to Punt Rd while I passed on the train. The train went by too quockly for me to take a pic and check the rest of the lads faces.

Big club, passionate supporters. The same reason Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton are hated lol

Absolutely! He cops a bit of flack for doing clanger or brain fade but he always gives 110% and more often than not does a job on the opposing key forward

Hello Tigers.

[Toga]

Hello Mr Nails ;)

Ready for the big game this weekend? :P

[Nails]

Lions by 10 goals.

[Ringo]

hello Tigers as well - Will be a big game for us as if we win we can talk about sneaking up the ladder although Port made a little hard with their win last week.  You guys are travelling really well and there will be some interesting match ups.

Who will Raines go to - Cotch, Lids or Dusty. Who will match up on Rich and Rocky, will Hanley be tagged given his form atm. Maguire or Patful will take Jack.

2 Young teams on the rise but I think you are in front of us but if you are a little off and we play to our full potential we can cause the upset.  I am ready for the big game on the weekend.

[Toga]

I think:

Raines --> Deledio

Jackson --> Rich

Cotchin vs Redden, Dusty vs Rockliff

White/Newman --> Hanley

[Nige]

Big Tyrone is back in and Orren gets omitted. Also, worth noting that Matty McDonough is in the emergencies.  8)

Did a different team run out after half time today?  :o

Had the game won at quater time I know but it would be nice to thump a side every now and then rather than taking our foot off the gas when we think we have it won.

On the bright side that's 13 wins :) finals a certainty!

Umpiring assisted you greatly though.

Umpiring assisted you greatly though.

There have been bad umpiring decisions for over 100 years. Every club feel like they are always getting the rough end of the stick . I didnt think the umpiring had any bearing on the result. Brisbane only showing up half way through the game did though

[Ringo]

Know the general consensus Quinny but when you are consistently on the wrong end you start to really watch the frees.  I counted at least 5 that Berger should have had given if what was being paid to Maric to be consistent. Agreed we only turned up after half time but when Richmond got 4 direct goals from frees compared to Brisbanes none you can make the statement I did. Not saying it cost us the game only Richmond was on the right end of the umpiring decisions.
In saying this Richmond have had a great season and your ball movement speed is excellent and you deserve to be in finals. maybe will not win this year but will give it a shake over the next 2 years.
