So how does everyone think we'll go Friday night? Anyone give us a chance to break our now 8 year hoodoo against the Saints?
The MCG by the way is expecting a crowd of 44,000.
-
Would think it will be a little bigger than that since it's a home game for both clubs. Perhaps they're only expecting 10,000 St Kilda supporters. Sounds reasonable.
-
It will be interesting to see how we go at the 'G against the Saints.
I give us a chance if we can break even in the middle and get enough I50's.
-
Prefer to play them at MCG than at Eithad.
-
If Jack can kick 5 or 6 that should be enough to outscore St.Kilda ;D
-
I worked it out ....It has been 7 years ,11 months and 11 days since we last beat St Kilda.Another way of saying that is 2900 days. :help
Saints have now won 13 games in a row against us.....That is the 3rd highest losing streak in Richmond history.
(1) 23 games vs Carlton.1908-18.I know Docker supporters feel bad losing the first 10 Derby's....well Richmond lost its first 23 contests against the blues.Mind you all this started before Jack Dyer was even born.
(2) 16 games vs Hawthorn. When we were shizenhousen in the mid 80's/early 90's we did not beat the Hawks for a decade.We also only beat geelong once between 1986-96.
(3) 13 games vs Saints. 2003 till presant day
Victory on Friday night will be a small step in Richmond restoring its credibility.

Not if the trains on the Frankston line are on the blink.
The "heathens" will be at the Chelsea hotel ordering their $3 Kahlua and milks from 7:30 pm at the over 28's.
-
It'll be a disappointing crowd is only 44k show up given both set of members can get in. The only thing that will turn people off from going is St Kilda's gameplan :sleep. Let's all get there Friday night and vastly outnumber the Saints' fans :gotigers.
We need a banner that has a window drawn on it with the words "St Kilda is now closed" ;D

People wont go because of the crap that St Kilda dish up - it is awful footy and boring to boot
I actually think if we can play some fast attacking footy we've got the pace to trouble the pathetic rabble
Can we win - doubt it but it would be bloody wonderful if we did
-
We'll need to combine our speed advantage with quick ball movement. Hopefully our midfield stands up this week so we have plenty of inside 50s. Jack owned the St Kilda defence one-out in both games last year.

Sportal reckons we'll get flogged by 9 goals :P
WE THINK:
The Saints had to be disappointed with their efforts last week and their dour style plus lurid off-season headlines are starting to grate on their fans, with a poor turnout from them last week. They can start winning them back with a big win here.
The scoreline flattered the Tigers' last week and it is apparent that while this young side may be able to get on top in bursts, 120 minutes of football will find them out more often than not in 2011. The Saints have won 13 straight against the Tigers in a spell heading back to 2003, with an average winning margin of 43 points. Captain Chris Newman is the only player to have experienced a Richmond win over the Saints. Don't expect that to change on Friday.
St Kilda by 54

Preview: St Kilda v Richmond
WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Friday, April 1, 7.40pm
HEAD TO HEAD: St Kilda 69 wins, Richmond 102 wins, two draws
LAST TIME: St Kilda 17.13 (115) d Richmond 14.10 (94), round 21, 2010 at Etihad Stadium
TV: Channel 7, 8.30pm
RADIO: 3AW, Triple M, 1116 SEN, K-Rock, ABC774
A full replay will be available on afl.com.au 12 hours after the completion of the match
BETFAIR ODDS: St Kilda $1.27 v Richmond $4.40
FORM - St Kilda: L Richmond: L
SUMMARY
This one is all about the showdown between star forwards and cousins Jack and Nick Riewoldt.
Jack was superb against Carlton in Thursday night's season opener, taking six marks inside 50 for six goals as the Tigers went down by 20 points.
But the young livewire will find it harder this week against St Kilda's famously tight defence.
Last week the Saints allowed Geelong's entire team just seven marks inside attacking 50 for the game, but couldn't quite kick enough goals to win.
Midfield guns Lenny Hayes and Nick Dal Santo started their seasons superbly but St Kilda, as they admitted over summer, need to establish a strong forward target other than 'St Nick'.
A big performance by recruit Ryan Gamble and two or three opportunist goals from Stephen Milne, both kept quiet in round one, would go a long way to seeing the Saints home.
QUESTION MARKS
If Riewoldt doesn't fire, how will they amass a winning score? This question applies for both teams.
Are the Saints still a premiership threat? Not that a win over the Tigers will provide a definitive answer, but a second straight loss would certainly have the doubters surfacing. Ross Lyon's men will be keen to win and win well.
How will the Tigers' young midfielders go? The game will be a tough test for Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin and Reece Conca against St Kilda's established stars of Hayes, Dal Santo, Brendon Goddard and Leigh Montagna.
PREDICTION: St Kilda by 36 points.

Kosi may be back for the Saints. Of course they had to mention his 5 goal haul last time :yawn

You'd expect the Saints to be named favourites after 13 straight wins against us :P but not by 9 goals based on recent history and current form. Apart from the 2009 clash we have pushed them until late in the last quarter in 3 of the past 5 meetings.

We'll win this by 30 odd. 100ish to 70ish.

Based on history, the only hope we have beating the saints at the moment is if we played them up on the Gold Coast during schoolies week.

Well I will unfortunately be at work again and won't get to see this game, if we win I will watch a replay later from some ware....
I have a funny feeling about this game, I dont know if the Saints played crap last week or if it was a typical defensive game from them, but not many goals were scored and apparently both teams were booed at half time.
Now if we can get out of the boxes early and run and carry all day I have a feeling we will take this game out!!
If the Bombers can do it...
Carn Tigers!!!

Fingers crossed WAT that we break our hoodoo.
I'm heading off now to the 'G. Carn the Tiges! :gotigers

precinct pre match beers before the game

Poor crowd, saints fans hate watching their team.

Anyone have an iPad/iPhone?
Down tools, and head across to Footy Live HD and help me poo stir the saints faithful...
Peace
:thumbsup
-
Nahas gives away another free.
:help
-
Is it me or does the yellow stripe look faded tonight?
-
Crap game too! Jack looks to go in the 2nd quarter too! :pray
-
Any score would be great please, the net here at this time is impossible, 8 points down was the last I got!
-
saints lead 37 to 29.
11 minutes to go in the 2qtr
-
Tigers in front at half time. :)
-
Tigers up by 7 at half! McGuane reported and will get a few! Jack subbed out with concussion! Physical game and i like our intensity!The one percenters are really counting against physically superior opposition! The problem for us is the half time break!
-
Ok, lets hope those young legs can hold out!!
-
Only three points up but we wasted alot of momemtum :banghead
Mitch's mark was not paid directly in fron and cotch hitting post after a morton screamer :banghead
Gus's inept spoiling attempt gives McEvoy a goal right on 3/4 time :banghead
Having said that WAT, our intensity has been great, not sure we can keep it going but it easy to see a difference in pressure post wallace era!
Gee i hope we run all over them :pray
-
Look I know we go on about vital umpiring decisions going against us but again in the third term there we no fewer than 2 obvious holding the ball decisions 15 metres directly out from the Saints goal that were just not paid. Guaranteed had it been a top 4 side then the free would have been paid. And come someone explain the holding the ball rule when someone tries to kick as they get tackled. It seems that if the ball hits the ground without touching the boot its holding the ball. What is the different when trying to handball and not making contact, why dont the umpires pay this consistently.
-
Tiges 1 point up at 9 min
-
Thanks GR12...Mmmmmm, oh well, not over yet I suppose. :-\
-
Scores level now...looks like they are shutting the game down like they always do.
-
Tigers 6 up saints get gifted a bullsh1t free and it's level at the 18 minute mark
-
God, lets hope we have the legs in the last.
-
Saints up by 4 with about 4 mins to go
-
Oh hell it is the last...
-
BLOODY DRAW!!!!!!!!!
-
:banghead :bangheadeffin draw!Cant help but feel we were stiffed badly!
-
Deadset robbery by the whistleblowers, great effort by the boys :clapping
-
Win in the step of development of the players and team. But gutted about the draw. Pretty lucky saint's didnt kick something at that last throw in I thought from watching the reply of it from behind the goals.
-
So appart from Riewoldt being injured and McGuane being reported is there anyone else we need to worry about for next week???
Gee our backline will be depleted now...hell don't we play the Pies...
So any reports would be great too, cheers.
-
Grigg had a great game really stepped up tonight.
-
Gees devistated about the result but am ridiculously proud of the boys expecially after last weeks final quater fade. Games like this and the Sydney one last year give me great faith that this team really plays for each other. Obviously there were skill errors but no ones commitment to going the footy can be questioned tonight. Just wanted to make mention of a few players.
Connors- Thought he was really solid tonight need more games like this from him where he sticks to what he does best in run and kick long.
Graham- Thought his game last week was horrendous and was very dissapointed with his spoiling attempt just b4 3/4 time. However, some of his body work in the last half was tremendous and he was a force in the ruck in the last quater he may not be our ruckman for the future but tonight he played like a man.
Grigg- Younger and Faster Tucky. Won't hold that miss in the last against was fantastic all night think we got a great pick u here.
Newman- Continues to prove why he is one of the best captains in the league no one puts his body on the line more for their club.
Deledio- Think some on here who jumped on lids last week labelling him selfish should think a little more b4 they comment. For me was clearly best on ground tonight absolutely towelled up goddard love seeing him through the midfield and pushing forward.
Loved seeing the lesser Riewoldt's face tonight every time things went against constantly looks like he is going to cry.
-
A win would've been significant but a draw is a pretty good consolation. We will beat the saints the next time we play them, in the words of grant Thomas "we are better than st Kilda". Griggs has shown what a huge engine he has and will replace tucky as a mid. Dusty showed that last year was no fluke and Gus showed a fair bit if ticker tonight. 14 goals without jack was the highlight.
-
What did everyone think regarding the intentional rushed behind by McGuane? The following is taken from the AFL laws of the game:
15.7.1 W hen Awarded
A Free Kick shall be awarded against a Player from the defending Team
who intentionally Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the attacking
Team’s Goal Line or Behind Line or onto one of the attacking Team’s Goal
Posts. In assessing whether a Free Kick should be awarded under this
Law, the field Umpire shall give the benefit of the doubt to the Defender.
When McGuane was tackled he was facing between the boundary and the goal, where else if attempting to release the ball legally could he have gone? Therefore by the rules above surely he should receive the benefit of the doubt.
-
Check the umpires bank accounts tomorrow ...
-
The last time we beat St Kilda was at Etihad and Grant Thomas said publicly after the game "the better team out there did not win". Well, the worm turned tonight - the better team was raped by the umpires to the benefit of the rapist team. Geez I'm dirty on those useless smartie-coloured pieces of dog vomit that go by the title of umpires. >:(

Thought it was very harsh against McGuane and expecting an apology from the AFL through the week.
-
Apparently KB has already acknowledged that the Luke rushed behind free kick was WRONG.
BTW: Nick R. 2 possessions in the 2nd half, zero in the 3rd. 1 was the goal from the acknowledged incorrect free kick. I think Luke took the bickies in that contest.

Problem is he will be eating bickies in the stands next week, if the match review panel follows the trend set by tonights umpires then he should be rubbed out for about 3 months!

He'll get 2 at least. maybe 3 to 4.

-
someone call the coppers we were effin robbed!
Really proud of the boys tonight, they went hard all the way. Big step forward tonight. In saying that I am filthy we let those effers off the hook! Lids BOG by a mile tonight. Towelled up the best player in the comp(imo). This is what this bloke can do. Back him in against the best and he'll lift.
-
Our backline is imploding, we are really going to have to watch the over the top rough play, we just don't have the depth to cover. Who the hell will play on Buddy next week......Thursty.....
-
someone call the coppers we were effin robbed!
effin oath. How many holding the ball calls did we get against us when there was absolutely no chance of getting rid of the ball AND we didn't dive on it!! >:(
-
This game proved that Grigg was a good selection even though his kicking can be suspect. He really kept us in the game.
Who cares if he missed that goal. I would argue Morton's fly over the top was more costly. What was he thinking at that stage of the game.
Lids
Dusty
Grigg
3 best out there. Nahas continues his good form. Matty White has a new position. Destroyed Montagna he did. Newman great smother in the dying seconds saved the game for us.
Dont know why Conca was left on Milne the whole game
I actually think Helbig is going to be our best recruit from last years draft. The boy has some serious talent.
-

It was a joke Wayne and the amount of times their players got away with deadset dropping it was disgraceful.
-
Eff those effers.
We wuz robbed.
Saints players acting they were hard done by when the siren rang....even guys with sh|it all stats
softies.
Eff em all
-
Well, to the positives. Great team effort by all.
Grigg was great, looks like he just strolls along, but keeps racking it up and is good with his hands.
Deledio and Martin good returns to form.
Vickery continues to impress, and when he kicked that goal and pumped his fist, he's getting some size into those arms now.
White great tagging job again.
Not a one man team, just goes to show, if we can keep pumping it in, someone will kick a goal.
Jakey King is very important to us, had a scuffle and he picks out the biggest guy there (McEvoy) and dumps him :lol
McGuane was very good on Riewoldt. Great spoiling, pity he's going to get a week for jumping off the ground. Luckily Ray wasn't KO'ed, it would have been 3-4 weeks.
The tackling and defensive efforts were fantastic.
The kids were good again, Conca got a tough job on the rat, but stuck at it, I really like Helbig.
-
Umpires disgraceful. Our players are continuing their development. Young players showing plenty. Not a bad nights work from the young boys tonight. No complaints from except for the umpires by the way who was the umpire at the St Kilda end in the last quarter- shouldnt even be umpiring in the bush that bloke, just disgraceful.
-
What is going on with Cotchin, has he got the ticker or was he being heavily tagged...

made some big plays tonight - stats dont always tell the story. I dont overhype this bloke like some, but tonight 3 or 4 times at important moments he did the absolute right thing. Still got loads of improvement to make but I was happy with his game overall. Moving in the right direction

Good call, however Lids did warrant the criticism he was well below par last week and this week not only showed how brilliant he can be he showed how far off he was last week. If Lids played like this last week we could have won by 5 goals.
Takes a great player to bounce back. Good on ya Lids.
-
from what I saw in 2nd half after thr reiwoldt injury. It appeared cotchin / Martin were sharing the full forward postion.
GarlettWhat is going on with Cotchin, has he got the ticker or was he being heavily tagged...
he was playing dull forward mate.
Fair go.
Not having a go, just asking, no worries I didnt realise where he was playing....hard to see from Zambia.... :thumbsup
-
He'll get 2 at least. maybe 3 to 4.
In Play (Ball was on Rays boot)
High Contact (Hit him in the head)
Low Impact (Ray got up took the kick and goaled)
I think he'll get off or at worst 1 week. So much is reliant on how the opponent reacts to a bump. If Ray went off on a stretcher McGuane would get 5+.
-
Gotta say not happy - we should of won, a lot of positives but we just should of won, nuff said.
Oh and 26 spoons and another before a flag for saints they are terrible.

The game just felt like a lottery for me, umpires were watching a different game, Riewoldt was effectively suspended this week cause he was concussed out of the game so had a higher percentage of fatigue when Jones was subbed on. 37 minute last quarter, flip the coin for who ever is in front when the siren went.
If Milne had any ticker he would have put that goal away and won it for them. Luckily he is weak as a stale bottle of pi$$
-
Didn't realise until after the game commentary that Grigg played on Dal Santo. Makes his effort even better.
Totally different interpretations on some frees. St Kilda rushed a behind 4 minutes after McGuane.
Incorrect disposal is another one.
Defence on Nick in the second half showed what we must avoid with Jack.
Luke just spoiled and we had a small at his feet cleaning since Milne was the only other forward threat.
-
Did conca play on Milne?
If so good effort vs that little rat sissy
god bless j king. Good tosee a bloke with a tigers jumper showing balls.
-
I actually think Helbig is going to be our best recruit from last years draft. The boy has some serious talent.
One thing that I'm concerned about is that he has very hard hands. Seems tough for him to take the ball when it's loose.
-
I thought Cotch was okay tonight. He made some nice plays but the thing that stands out for me tonight was that miss from 15 out in the third after being fed from Morton after Mitch took that speccy.
-
Well a draw brings mixed emotions but...
I would like to think that one day soon we can look back and mark this match as a turning point.
And that I had the pleasure of watching.
:thumbsup
-
Dont know why Conca was left on Milne the whole game
Part of Hardwick's "we're not about winning yet, we're about learning" mantra I reckon. Left him on Milne to learn a few things about accountability and positioning. I had no problem with it because I have faith that Conca will be something special and this will only help that.
-
Agree, Conca will definitely be a rotating midfielder soon but Hardwick is trying to teach him how to play defense.

One of those people who jumped on him last week was me and I make no apolagi! I was refering to his game last week and he sucked. This week he compleatly turned it around, pl;ayed one of the best games I have seen, he bleed yellow and black last night and made an impact. This is the standard he should be playing. Great work Lid's :bow

Mate, what am I apologising for?? He had a crap game against Carlton didn't he?? Thats the way I seen it thats the way I wrote it! To see the way he played this week makes last weeks game even worse knowing this is how he should be playing consistently. He came back brilliantly this week, lets hope he can keep it up and lead this club out of the poo it's been wallowing in for the past 20 years!!!

Dont know why Conca was left on Milne the whole game
I reckon to teach the kid how to play on players who have "footy smarts".
I think Milne is a pathetic human being and an average footballer skills wise but when it comes to footy smarts he has plenty, it's one of the footy reasons he managed to play 200 odd games. Can't stand him as he always plays well against us but....
I reckon Conca would have learnt so much on Friday night. I saw it as short term pain for very long term gain.
The only thing that really disappointed me regarding Conca's game was when he stopped chasing Milne as the twirp ran into an open goal - the kid gave up in that instance and IMO it showed Milne just for a moment he had gotten into Conca's head. A lesson to learn right there but credit to the kid he lifted his head after that and battled on

Wasn't it Paul Roos who said that you often spend the first 12 months teaching high draft pick mids the defensive skills? They come into the comp having been the best players in their junior comps and have never had worry about an opponent.
Think we might have learned from our experience with Dusty Martin last year. He didn't have the greatest defensive side to his game.

Deledio- Think some on here who jumped on lids last week labelling him selfish should think a little more b4 they comment. For me was clearly best on ground tonight absolutely towelled up goddard love seeing him through the midfield and pushing forward.
One of those people who jumped on him last week was me and I make no apolagi! I was refering to his game last week and he sucked. This week he compleatly turned it around, pl;ayed one of the best games I have seen, he bleed yellow and black last night and made an impact. This is the standard he should be playing. Great work Lid's :bow
They say it takes a big man to apologise! I guess that makes you...... a bozzo-from-Tas! :wallywink

The thing about it is mate, is why do you feel it necessary to bag our players after they don't play like you want them to. It was round 1, Lids had had little match practice due to a few niggles during preseason, and to be totally honest with you he was not that bad. I watched that game back a few times and think he went OK... Bit to quick to jump on a bloke that has been our best player for the last 3 to 4 years. Don't you think?

Milne language was a disgrace, sat on fence, very poor by an AFL player
I did ask Nick riewoldt how is "'smallgoods were going, he looked and wasnt impressed, LOL

It's amazing the difference in age and experience between the two sides on Friday night.
Avg. Games:
Rich 53.4
StK 117.7
Avg. Age:
Rich 22y 293d
StK 26y 168d
We had 19 of our side 24 y.o. and under compared to the Saints 6. Only Newy, Kingy and Foley (whose still only 25) are our "oldies". Half the Saints side is 27 y.o. or older.

From Dimma which im sure most of you got via email
Three days after the St Kilda match, I don't mind telling you that we're all still a bit dirty on the fact we didn't come away with the four points.
.....
Edit: As it's exclusive to RFC members check your email to read the latest 'direct from dimma' email about the St Kilda game :)

From Dimma which im sure most of you got via email
daniel,
The club has asked for the weekly dimma emails not to be posted on the various forums as it is intended for MEMBERS ONLY, that is a "priviledge" for those who hand over their hard earned $$$ to become members
We (Mr OE & my good self) allowed the first one to be posted and remain on OER last week because of all the problems members had in receiving it = alot didn't get it so we were trying to assist RFC members ;D
So before you ask what heppened - that's the reason your post has been edited :thumbsup
And if everyone could follow that and not post dimma's direct emails each week we'd appreciate it :thumbsup
Cheers
WP & Mr OE

Big Tone,
Sorry mate but you have taken me completely out of context, where did I bag Lid's? In a game where everyone was pointing the finger at bad performances by lesser players (Nahas, Rance,White to name a few) I pointed out that some of our senior players needed to stand up and set an example, Lids was one of these players! I said he played selfish football, his direct opponent kicked 2 goals because Lid's refused to man up on him ( not sure if its classed as bagging him if it's true??) I don't mind that if it works back the other way but in this game it didn't!! He himself has admitted he had a poor game against Carlton in Dimma's email Quote "Brett, by his own admission, had a disappointing Round 1 game against Carlton" there was also plenty said about his game in the media that reflected my thoughts in the week that followed so clearly I wasn't the only one who noticed.
You say he was under done, yet the following week he plays the game of his life, it would be great if it took every underdone bloke one game to hit there peak! He wasn't underdone, he had a poor game he was clearly given a rocket through the week and he came out against the Saints and played like we all no he can play!!!
I believe Lid's can win a Brownlow he is a star, he just need more consistency in his performances and play every week like he did on the weekend.
-
imo deledios lack of accountabilty was terrible. its okay to have a poor game but somethings are inexcusable.personally i would have dropped him for the one game fairest and best winner for the past 3 yrs or not.
everyone is expected to be accountable our senior players in particular. some things should not be tolerated.
and i dont believe i have ever bagged deledio and dont consider this a bagging just the truth. what an example it would have sent to everyone at the club. what a line in the sand.
didnt morton spend time in the ressies for that kind of thing tuck as well. deledio should be no different.

With McGuane out depending on who we bring in the side could be even younger against the Hawks.

According to Ross Lyon we only got close to them because the Saints aren't fit enough ::)
I'm trying to understand how we can have 11 shots against Geelong and 10 against Richmond in the [first quarter], then fall away," Lyon added.
"Maybe we're a little bit thinner [fitness-wise] than where we've been in the past."

The AFL has cleverly hash-tagged live coverage of premiership games and last week's St Kilda versus Richmond thriller ranked the sixth most popular thread Australia-wide 14 hours after the hooter declared a draw.
Despite producing a cracking round of footy, not one NRL game was among the top-trending topics.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/tiger-cubs-poached-by-storm/story-e6frfgbo-1226035675081
718,000 in the five major capitals watched the delayed coverage of the game on Seven as well.

Because the NRL are always making bold statements about how popular their product is on TV and the AFL (through the Hun) indulged in a bit of shameless "my d..ks bigger"!
