In the AFL site's live stats it has Edwards in and King out. So WAT's info was on the money.

TV: Foxtel
Radio: SEN, ABC and 6PR
Wallace coming up now on SEN.

Wallace on SEN
* Past history - Both sides are changing so irrelevant. We've been bottom 4 material for most of those years. A diiferent side has come over this time although one of our youngest sides that we've brought over.
* Richo - we're going to be without him eventuall. He's been great but we'll still have 22 out there to do the job and get our own run and carry game going.
* Polak - Hughes and McMahon witnessed the incident and Newy spent the first night with the family. You think it's been a long fortnight so hopefully they just want to play but you never know.
* Morton - underachieved at the Eagles probably due to inexperience. It takes young blokes 3-4 years. Reckon he would have performed at the Eagles this year if he had stayed. Pleased with him especially his forward pressure.
* Key defence very young? Going to play their best footy in 3 years time so I have the patience even if others don't. They're going to have their up and downs. Opposition going to test us by going tall today and we've lost our best two contested markers in Richo and Polak so it's going to be a test for them. But the only way you are going to find out is to play them.

Cotch on Kerr.
Eagles going to run and handball crazy. Le Cras already has a goal ::).
Connors misses his set shot from 40m.
1 - 6

Cotch good run but from 48 - OOTF :P
Browny finally snaps one :gotigers

Sounds like a very average game.
-
Eagles flooding and then hitting us on the counter.
Lids off with right ankle injury and in quite a bit of pain :(
9 - 20
-
It's a knee and he's gone down into the rooms :(
-
Its his right knee. :(
Cant put any weight on it.
Please be ok. :pray
-
Whats the go with the Eagles getting all the frees? ???
-
:(
How many frees are they getting :banghead
Our lack of talls is showing now. No good having Cleve marking on the wing.
Moore has made a few costly blues.
Quarter time
Rich 1.3-9
WC 3.2-20
Goal: Browny
-
Dont think the umpires are that bad.
We are just terrible. Out delivery inside 50 is a disgrace and we have people in the team who stop our run.
Sugar being the main culprit so far. If we keep this up its going to be a long finish to the season.
There is no excuse for anyone in our team not being able to kick the footy out in front of a leading forward to run on to and mark especially when they arent under pressure.
So far Foley and Cotchin have done this and there would be a few others, they just stood out coz they are normally better than that. :banghead :banghead
-
Lids confirmed right knee. They're strapping it up. No crutches or aids. Let's hope it's not a ACL :help.
Frees: 2 - 7. Blingers just got free at the start of the 2nd.
Inside 50s: 14 - 11 yet we're 11 point down.
-
Schulz from 49m and goals :gotigers
15 - 20
-
Lids running up and down the boundary. Let's hope we are not doing a Cogs and going to put him back out there when he shouldn't be :help.
-
Foley lovely pass to Jack (first touch). Gets 50m. Goal :gotigers.
21 - 20
-
Jack inside 50 to Tuck. Goal from 45 :gotigers
27 - 20
-
Johnson given plenty of time by the Eagles long to the square and Jack marks. Goal :gotigers
33 - 20
-
Centre Clearances: 6 - 0
Edwards out of the centre .. poor kick but Browny along the ground towards goal but it's rushed.
Another free to us missed yet they get the soft one inside 50 ::) - miss away
34 - 21
-
Kerr not paying Edwards respect gets it from Foley and passes it off to Browny. Goal :gotigers
40 - 21

46 - 21

Big question is will it be the same old script with us laying down in the 3rd?
-
Hughes goal :gotigers
52 - 21
-
talk about Jekyll and Hyde!!!!!!
Keep it up Tiges
-
Sarge having 5 bounces ;D. Tuck then throws it and swears at the ump to give away 50m and gift the Eagles a goal against the run of play :banghead
52 - 28
-
Tambo long goal :gotigers.
58 - 28
-
Lids back on. Terry making a million interchanges.
Browny to Cotch at HF on his non-preferred to Morton. Goal :gotigers. Lots of Tiger fans at Subi

-
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
:lol :lol :lol
Speechless.
:gotigers :gotigers
Let me guess it's only the Eagles ::) ::)
Enjoying watching these kids play
And Schulz has been very good ;D
Take out Brown, Joel & Johnson, struth we are young ;D Newman & Tuck are the old blokes ;D
Still a half to go.....though :pray
-
Should be another 11 goal quarter in the 3rd.
The Eagles' percentage is still better than the Demons.
-
Possies:
McMahon 18
Sugar 17
Browny, Tuck 14
Simmo 13
Foley, Moore 12
White 11
Jack and Cotch with 4 inside 50s each.
Sugar, Foley and White with 3 clearances each.
We've had 84 more possies overall than the Eagles.
The only stat we are losing is the hitouts 15 - 26 but we're winning the clearances 24 - 9 so it hasn't mattered.
-
Big question is will it be the same old script with us laying down in the 3rd?
That's what Terry needs to drill in them at half-time. First 10 minutes come out hard and put the game well and truly to bed like they did against Freo. Hopefully our first quarter was our bad quarter for the game.
Radio saying the breeze has picked up slightly and the Eagles will have/need it in this quarter.
-
After fiddling around with it gets to Polo on the boundary to Edwards - misses.
77 - 28
-
Eagles eventally break the "full-court press" and run it down and get the first of the quarter.
77 - 34
-
Foley explodes out of the centre takes two bounces, handball over the top to Jack who kicks his 4th :gotigers.
83 - 34
-
Cotch free pass to Jack (good screen by Browny to open up the space). Jack gives it to Browny who goals :gotigers
89 - 34
-
Kerr losing it. Took a swing at White and could be reported.
Bowden intercepts and passes it to Morton. goal.
95 - 34
-
geez these commentators will be crying by the end of the game if this keeps up, they are miserable lol
-
Blingers trips over his shoelaces as he runs away :P and the turnover ends up in a Wirrpunda goal
95 - 40
-
Foley goal on the run after 3 bounces. Shinned it but it went through :gotigers.
101 - 40
-
Eagles get another goal from a turnover. The only way they are getting them.
101 - 47
-
Only downside is Richard Tambling game so far, 2 kicks so far, not good, blind man freddy could get a kick out there
-
Sounds like we're doing that tempo crap again in defence ::). A few dumb turnovers putting ourselves under unnecessary pressure and walking through points.

-
314 possesions at three quarter time. Tambling 2 kicks 5 handballs. :-X

He's getting to it but fumbling it.
Brilliant handball by Jack and Browny kicks it high up in the top tier which gets the biggest cheer of the day from Eagle fans.
120 - 57

Browny weaves through traffic but hits the post.
121 - 57

I'm glad ur happy mate. :lol
-
Yep just a touch Ox :lol
Just happy that the cubs stood up without Richo and we still kicked 24 goals. No Thursty either. Sure the opposition was ordinary and Kerr is a total tool now the Eagles are losers but we won well like we should have.
-
Great win, Jack, Cotch, Edwards and Moore all showed the way with Tuck, Foley and McMahon leading from the front.
Great team effort, bring on the Bombres.
-
Could not believe the turn around, we were dreadful in the first qtr. We did get our fair share of footy but just couldnt hit a target to save our lives.
Its funny because you would think that nothing anyone could say would change that, but the difference in disposal after qtr was extreme.
The boys ran hard all day and played some great footy. Cotchin is a superstar and Polo is also fitting back into the team nicely. Edwards was very lively, Jack was fantastic up forward and i hope he have a big summer in the gym and gets bigger up top.
Conners did some nice things and i was also very impressed with Patto's game. The defence as a whole stood tall all day and did an excellent job. :thumbsup
-
TFL - what did you think of Tuckie today? I thought he was terrific - tough bugger, son of a gun, and he had a shocking call on his overhead handball and then there were two or three just like it within 20 minutes.
-
Poor Tucky....
Dreadful decision :yep
The 50m penalty I am sure it had something to do with a word that rhymes with Tuck :rollin
Great game by the tigers.
Just great to see the future on display today.... those kids are going to be good, some real good :thumbsup
Eagles .... what a shocker.... how nice for it to be someone else for a change... had enough of those sort of efforts to last me a life time
-
watching that game l can tell ya'll one thing.
Enjoy the win but dont be fooled by the result.
Eagles purely tanked that game, l wonder if the AFL will launch a investigation into them
Big Cox at fullback :rollin most toxin players out of thier normal playing positions
them trying to loose that game stood out so bad

Thought the same.
How many centre clearances in a row did we get in the 2nd q, and the didnt even chase us ::) Kerr didnt try one bit. And Cox at full back, please
-
Here we go. ::)
FFS no matter who you play to kick 11 goals in a quarter against any team whether they're apparently tanking or not, is a sensational effort.
How about some credit for that. No I couldnt expect that could I. ::)
We did what we had to do and I feel sad for you if you dont have a smile on your face after a 77 point win.
Of course we have the bigger test next week, but how can you not be content with a 77 point win where we buried them and try to make excuses for the eagles?
-
who's not happy ???
-
Sensational win, half the Wet Toast "supporters" were gone 5 mins into the last 1/4.
Lids showed a bit today, he was wrestling with Glass in the goalsquare during the 2nd 1/4 and Glass was trying to give it to him. Lids kicked that goal from 55m out right over his head and let him now about it .... Scoreboard.

We were in the rooms before the game and after and I tell you what I lost my voice in the second QTR, no poo. My kids cant talk either, we shoved it up them, I yelled my guts out from the first bounce and the boys responded.
What a game, I saw 2 turnovers and the play into and out of the forward line was amazing, that goal of Foley's shut the crowd up.
F**** loved it.

Anyone see Josh Kennedy's tattoo?

Here is my report that I posted on Y&B:
Well just arrived back last night after a fantastic time at the footy and I can tell you we had a ball.
The day started off really interesting and I suppose a final twist in the ticket saga. When we went to go through the gates the wife produced the tickets and they wouldn't let us in because they had to call their supervisor. When she arrived we were asked to please let her know where we purchased the tickets from. We did tell a bit of a white lie but eventually we had to tell her the truth because they had been tracking all of the tickets sold in bulk to certain people who were then on selling them on eBay. In the end she said we could go through however anyone in the future will be refused entry unless the tickets were purchased through the correct chanels. We did tell her that it was impossible to do that because of the monopoly WC has on the ticket sales and she said it was because of these people buying bulk tickets that we suffered, but anyway we got in.
5 Hot dogs, 2 chicken rolls & 5 buckets of chips later and we were content with our full guts while watching the curtain raiser.
So myself, the wife and kids headed off to the rooms 30-40 minutes before they ran out. We were ushered into the rooms with a select few others (pre-organised) to watch the warm up. We were told to not talk as they went through their drills of short kicking and handballing as well as ground drills. David King was loud as hell really pumping the boys up, actually made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Foley walked around saying; hard, f****** hard, hard, hard f***** hard. Patto was saying the same. They then moved on to scruffing and tackling drills with Kingy really getting them going. Tuck, Deledio, Johnson, Jack and Browny were very load as well. As the boys got in the huddle before they ran out we headed out and back to our seats and to my mother who was sitting there with her Eagles scarf and hat on...... if only she knew what was in store.....
I started yelling out go Tiges before the bounce (lost voice in second qtr) as did my family and the rest of the Richmond people around us and there was a few. We were directly behind the goals where Browny belted that ball over the roof. The game started pretty well as much as I had expected but I did think the the Eagles would have been further ahead at qtr time. We played better football then them and their goals were lucky so I knew we would come back.
The second qtr was amazing to say they least we just hammered them. As mentioned in my previous posts regarding the training drills they were just about replecated during the game. The boys really played the wings well and totally outclassed the Eagles. Jack was on fire and took that mark in betwen Glass and Hunter right in front of us. In the end the Eagles and their supporters were shell shocked and very very quiet. As the Eagles walked off at half time they were booed by their own supporters so I though what the hey and joined in.
Third qtr was where I thought the Eagles would fight back but they didn't and we were on fire again. McMahon, Deledio, Foley, Tuck (who was fantastic, great work ethic), Schulz (best game yet), Patto (see Schulz), Brown, Moore and the list goes on. This is the best team performance from the Tigers I have seen in a long time and one of the first times I have seen Brown totally committed to the team instead of individual performances.
Last qtr and the goals kept rolling on, we were having a bit of banter with the lady in front of us and I said to her that she was a very lucky woman. When she asked why I said well you can tell people that you were at the game were Richmond kicked a record score against the Eagles, all in fun and we had a laugjh. Mum was very quiet and I am not sure if she wants to go to another game with us, I dont know why though... So the goals kept coming and the performance was clinical to say the least.The siren goes to end the game and the Yellow and Black song was belted out by us. Both my kids were standing on the seats waving their scarfs and it was great. Most of the Eagles supporters headed home late into the last qtr, weak as pee.
We then did the frantic run to the change rooms, only to hear the boys singing the last verse of the song. Never mind we saw them do the warm down and they were all very happy people.
The boys were very confident going into this game and they took that onto the feild with them, that is what I believe contributed to the big win. They supported each other to no end on that field including the blue between Glass and Deledio, right in front of us.
All in all a great day and a great win by the boys and I did manage to get 7 beers into me as well...

Great stuff TA :thumbsup. A bit of irony Subi staff questioning you over tickets when there would've been plenty of free seats available during the last quarter ;D. I hope you gave Eagle fans all a wave as they were leaving early :lol
-
Yeah cheers MT, I agree about the seats. :lol
