Agree, their midfield is v strong and they have 2 quality lockdown players that could curb our guns. Lower to cotch and Picken loves running with Lids. Need players like Martin, Conca, Tuck etc to really step up for this one

We haven't taken a step backwards in years, tiny steps forward on field and massive leaps off field... and yet where is our respect? This is why every single opposition supporter is a flog. Decades of poo, ridicule and abuse. I will hold nothing back when rubbing their noses in it when we start thumping crap teams like this one.

Lmao could be a 100 point tiger win

They're talking finals:

It's funny how people still think that we'll be in the bottom echelon after smashing Brisbane and putting up a good fighting performance against premiership contenders. We could realistically finish above 5 teams here (GWS, GC, St Kilda, Melbourne, Brisbane) and if we beat teams that are just above us, like Richmond, North, Adelaide, then maybe we could even be amongst those pushing for finals. But not according to the neutral on BF.

I know Richmond supporters and fans of the Richmond theme song are getting ready to blow the top right off, but let's face facts. Richmond have scraped over the line against Carlton and St Kilda - they're hardly world beaters and could easily be 0-2 rather than 2-0.

We bring our Brisbane game to this and we will win.

(http://www.vistaload.de/bilder/laughing.gif)

They beat Brisbane (who we never lose to) and lost to Freo (who we thrashed in 2011 and didn't lose by much to last year)

I'm very very confident we'll smash this bottom 4 side

Also, it's a bit weird that their supporters are calling Carlton and St Kilda crap sides.

against the bears, footscray played a very precise and patient game early on.you could see brisbane trying to get a running game going, but were strangled.  at the same time footscary were prepared to back their skills and maintain posession. at times switching back and forth numerous times across the back half until they were able to work the ball forwards, normally down the wings. you felt like they working hard to score, while brisbane would move the ball quickly and fluently when allowed, but you'd look up at the scorebaoard and footscary had a comfortable lead. as the game went on footscray were able to get more and more run themselves, eventually just carving up brisbane at will. when the opportunity was created, they would run the ball through the middle in numbers and score quickly.

we will have to display the same patience they did and most importantly make the most of the opportunities we create. brisbane wasted most of their opportunities they created early on and were duly punished for it.

How ridiculous are some of them  :lol

We beat Carlton and St Kilda because through a particular stretch we handed them their arses. If we got the same hold against the bumdogs as we did Carlton we will put them a lot further back than 7 goals.

They use their recent games as their argument. Carlton went down to the wire with Collingwood. Using their logic that makes us shoe ins for the granny.

Understand what you're saying and agree, but I think that Brisbane put a little too much research into Carlton and the NAB cup GF and not enough time into the Bulldogs. Where as the Bulldogs put all their time into Brisbane and round 1. Carlton would have known that Brisbane begin their defence in the back 50 and often allow teams to run up on them, but Mick would have stressed that they drill the boundary line play in preparation for round 1.  Just like we would have been (well I would like to think so ;D ) drilling to beat Carlton, and not bulldogs in that final NAB challenge match. Freo got their no sweat 5 goal win on the road which good teams do.

They were a bottom 4 team who beat a bottom 6 team on an off day. Oh yessssss the great saviour Liam Jones will kick a bag and Ayce Cordy is as good as his dad! Who the stuff is his dad anyway? The fans are even talking up little Libba as a Brownlow chance boy oh boy wowee wtf are they smoking?

Talking about Cotchin getting "Lower'd" this week like in NAB 4. Cotchin had 18 possies and played half the game at FF where he barely touched it. Full game in the middle = 36 touches but ey Lower did a good job on Rich. The blades of grass on the Etihad surface could scare Rich out of a game.  :shh

Bulldogs 1 flag and not counting.  :shh

Collingwood are very much in the Carlton boat. Amazing top end and some absolute plodders down the bottom end. If their mid-tier average guys decide to go for a ride with the big dogs then we'd be in some trouble but if they don't we're in with a big chance. I know a few Pies fans who are getting nervous about this one.

We're getting ahead of ourselves talking about Collingwood game now but I agree we are a good chance but it will be tough. I think getting ahead on the score board early and not allowing them full momentum for a quarter is the key to keeping mid-tier players from going to town on us.

Agree. If they get away early players like Dwyer and Elliot get off the chain and we are stuffed and may as well pack it in. At least we don't have Bootsma and Laidler to man up on these guys.  :shh :lol

Honestly if we cant beat this rabble of a football club by over 50 points then we have no business getting excited about our finals chances

They have no money, no future and their top shelf consists of Gia and Cross. We owe them a mauling

50 point win at the very least

Disagree about their future they have some really good kids coming through, some I wouldn't mind seeing running around in a Tiger guernsey

But sadly for them; they also have a couple of kids that haven't come on as expected and there inlies thier problem that as well as Eade not playing kids when he was there

I will take any win , Dockers only beat them by 5 goals and they are flying.
If we play our best game of the year , we should be too good however blind freddy can see bullies are playing with spirit.

yes replacement game and according to their website Boyd is out for another week, which is great news

Honestly if we cant beat this rabble of a football club by over 50 points then we have no business getting excited about our finals chances

Agree mat073

If our Clubs goes in thinking it's going to be easy and a % booster then we are in strife before the first bounce.

Respect your opponent, get a lead, hold the lead and then if in the last you have a winning lead put them away but you have to be in a winning position first, margin is secondary

no we shouldnt expect to grind out a win, we should expect to smash them by over 8 goals

This rabble of an organization towelled us up over the mid 2000's and its about time we returned the favour.

Who cares how freo performed against them, i care about our club and we are better placed on and off the field to dish out a mauling.

They have no forward line, new coach in a rebuilding phase and a stack of youngsters with overated top shelf of Cooney, Gia and Cross.

No excuses if we are truly finals bound then a right smashing is in order.

It's a replacement game for Bulldog's members Mr Tigra, only walk up seating is going to be on level 3

Eat_em_Alive: are those prices reserve seat only or including entry? $60.70 sounds like it includes entry, would expect seats only to be around $35-$40 on level 2

Have to say not surprised Etihad seating is usually $10-15 dearer than MCG premium reserve seats

I agree - it is the type of game we typically lose especially after coming off some hard fought wins against quality opposition. What does instill hope into me is that we have such competition for spots individuals can't afford to drop away particularly those players on the cusp.

Another midfield battle but I think we will win the game on the back of our ball movement out of the backline. Sitting in a box for this game so I hope its not too close and I get too vocal or I may never be invited back again!  :gotigers

Big crowd expected for Round 3 clash

By richmondfc.com.au
Tuesday, April 9, 2013



Richmond fans heading to this Sunday’s clash with the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium, are advised to consider upgrading to a reserved seat, to ensure a top view of the game.

Although this is Richmond’s first home game for the season, it’s also a make-up home game for the Western Bulldogs, which means Bulldog members can access the stadium through their membership.

A crowd of 45,000-50,000 is expected to attend the game at Etihad Stadium, which has a capacity of just over 56,000.

To upgrade to a reserved seat to see the Tigers take on the Bulldogs, click here: http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=MCGRICHP13

Well apparently we are a very ordinary side and the Dogs should win. Carlton are a top 4-8 side and should have won that game but have played two good games. The Saints also should have beat us, if Maister had have taken a mark in the last five minutes with his hands instead of his face they would have won. The Dogs have meanwhile only played 15 minutes of poor footy in two games. Richmond have been ordinary and should be 0-2.

Butt hurt much?

Match Preview: Tigers v Bulldogs
By Jennifer Phelan
April 12, 2013


SUMMARY: The Tigers head into this clash with wins over Carlton and St Kilda, which have come despite not playing their best football. They are placed sixth on the ladder and have almost no injuries with players pushing for selection in the VFL. The Bulldogs startled the Brisbane Lions – and the competition – with a round one victory but failed to upset Fremantle on Saturday at Etihad Stadium.

Rd 3, 2009, Western Bulldogs 16.14 (110) d Richmond 8.15 (63) at Etihad Stadium

THE SIX POINTS
1. The Tigers will be attempting to win their first three games of a season for the first time since 1995, the year they reached a preliminary final against Geelong.

2. Richmond thrashed the Western Bulldogs the last time the sides met; winning by 70 points in round 20, 2012 at the MCG. It was the Tigers' biggest win over the Dogs since late in 1980. Jack Riewoldt booted five goals and Trent Cotchin collected three Brownlow votes with 35 possessions and three goals.

3. The Tigers dominated the Bulldogs all over the ground, winning the total possession count 394-32 with 127 marks to 81. That win was the Tigers' first over the Bulldogs since round 3, 2005. The Dogs have won eight of the past 10 contests.

4. Etihad Stadium is not a Tiger friendly venue. Richmond has lost seven of its past 10 games there, although the Bulldogs hold just a slight advantage in a head to head sense. The Dogs have won five times and the Tigers four – with one draw – in the 10 times they've met at the ground.

5. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs haven't performed at Docklands that well in recent times either. They've won just three games at the venue since the start of last season from a total of 15 starts.

6. This will be the 148th clash between the sides and Richmond holds the advantage with 76 wins to 69, and two draws.

Dogs keen to apply lessons to Tiger task

    Sam Lienert
    The Age
    April 14, 2013


The Western Bulldogs are taking heart from a tight pre-season clash with Richmond as they seek to dent the Tigers' strong start to the season on Sunday.

Richmond is heavy favourite to beat the Dogs at Etihad Stadium and make it three wins in succession to open its season. That would be the Tigers' best start since 1995.

But the Bulldogs, who thrashed the Brisbane Lions in the opening round, have been buoyed by their own early-season form.

While they fell 28 points short of Fremantle last round, Dogs assistant coach Shannon Grant said it was a decent performance given the strength of the Dockers.

''For a young team to be able to come up against such a strong side and put in a pretty strong effort, I thought it was a good result; it gives us some confidence,'' Grant said.

In their match during the pre-season, the Bulldogs led by as much as 18 points midway through the third quarter. Richmond, fuelled by players such as Brett Deledio, finished fast to win by nine points.

''That game gave the boys a lot of confidence,'' Grant said. ''We played pretty well that day.

''They ran away from us in the last quarter but the boys were pretty solid for most of the day.

''We can learn from lessons from that and take some things out of what worked well for us.''

One factor that helped the Bulldogs was the blanketing job performed by recruit Nick Lower on Tigers star Trent Cotchin.

Lower has since opened the season with successful topping roles on Brisbane's Daniel Rich and Fremantle's David Mundy.

Grant said Lower would spend time on Cotchin again on Sunday but he would also spend time on Brett Deledio and Dustin Martin among others in the Tigers' strong midfield line-up.

Grant said the Bulldogs were also building strong midfield depth, with clearance specialist Tom Liberatore one of a group of young, emerging players making good progress.

Jordan Roughead, who has performed well on Lions co-captain Jonathan Brown and Fremantle skipper Matthew Pavlich in the opening two rounds, is likely to get the job on in-form Richmond Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt.

Yep. Must win and start to win well.

I can't stand this pennyless club getting all excited because they beat Lions in Melb.

RFC must put them to the sword and win by plenty.

Im with TIga, but them umps should lay off of them shrooms ffs, and the dogs would probably play better if they trained instead of doing drama classes and staging for frees.  Jack got stitched up so often by that goose throwing himself forward all the time I thought I was at the Oscars.

Griggers disposal is leaving alot to be desired atm BJ.
Some helicopters and that 10 metre pass of the side of the boot just to name a few.

I thought Knights had a good first outing for us and kicked a nice goal too. :thumbsup

Depth is what I took out of this game.

I even thought Jako was reasonable laid a great tackle and kicked a goal selling candy in the third. ;D

Conca has really had a good few weeks also. Best two games at the club by far. Was everywhere today. :thumbsup
