The AFL site is tipping Melbourne to win by 13 points...
SUMMARY
The final game of the round also looms as an intriguing contest.
Although neither Melbourne nor Richmond will feature in finals action, both will be keen to finish off the year on a high and carry that confidence into their preparations for season 2012.
Melbourne's horror month has been well documented but despite losing to West Coast on Sunday, the Demons showed great endeavour and were only let down by their poor skill execution.
The Tigers will head into Sunday's twilight clash full of confidence after they broke a six-game losing streak with a 43-point win over the Sydney Swans.
Trent Cotchin, Bachar Houli and Brett Deledio were all in fine form and will need to fire again this week.
The midfield battle between these two young sides will be an intriguing contest but if Melbourne are to win, they will need a lift from some of their more senior players in Brent Moloney, Brad Green and Colin Sylvia.
QUESTION MARKS
Can Todd Viney notch up his first win as caretaker coach? Melbourne defender James Frawley says Viney has had a positive influence on the players and they are keen to repay him with wins in the final three rounds.
Can Jack Reiwoldt keep his Coleman medal hopes alive? The Richmond forward has 56 goals to his name this season and currently sits second behind Hawthorn star Lance Franklin (62) on the leaderboard. Franklin kicked eight goals last week putting some distance between the two, and Riewoldt will need to reply this week if he wants to walk away with back-to-back Coleman medals.
PREDICTION
Melbourne by 13 points

Reckon we'll beat them. Post and Dea will start getting comfortable in defence. Hope Webberley and Conca come in for Farmer and Batchelor(inj)
-
The MCG site says they are estimating a crowd of 38,000.

we owe these skirts
i want to crush these 'mummies boys' ;)
-
I know most of you guys hate this match time but it gives us a chance to come to the game for a change. YAYYY. Last game we got to go to was the dreamtime game so maybe we are good luck. Cant wait
:gotigers :gotigers
-
We need to win this and crush these ponces (and remind Scully why he is wants to be a tiger LOL).
-
If we play like we did in the last quarter against the Swans. We'll beat them.
-
I have a few words to yell to Petterd 8)
-
Come on 14th position on the ladder...... :lol
-

Ditto.
Weather will be fine on the weekend so I am sure we'll outnumber them in the crowd as they will be sipping the Cabernet at the Mt Hotham Ski Chalet.
If Jako commits a stupid act he will regret let him king hit that princess Jacqueline Watts. Can't stand that goody two shoes.
Wonder if Captain Courageous Brad Green will play? :help
Want to see Riewoldt and the boys give them a beating especially b/c Frawley assumed that they have easier games now and expect to win and keep their finals flame flickering. :ROTFL
Would love to extinguish this nothing club for 2011. :thumbsup

I am thinking we will win, these pricks are addicted to high draft picks not winning.

Hello Tiger supporters, have just joined your forum.
Supported the Tige's since 1970 (yes i am a bit of an old bastard)
I am heading over to Melbourne from Perth this weekend, to watch the mighty Tigers demolish Melbourne.
Can anyone tell me where most of the Richmond fans sit at the MCG? There is nothing quite like a sea of Gold and Black!!
This looks like a good forum, thanks for having me, its great to see so many brothers and sisters in one place.
-
Head for the Ponsford stand this week Wellsy

Welcome Wellsy
As CUB said head to the Ponsford Stand (Gate 1) Level 1 (ground level) as that's the area that the Club has orgnanised for members to sit this weekend as part of the replacement game.
I believe most of Level 1 is general admission seating anyway ;D and beside at the MCG the attendants aren't that big on looking at people's tickets to see where they are supposed to be sitting - so should be able to rock up and sit anywhere you darn well please :thumbsup
-
Thanks Lads,
Love ya work
-
Nice of Lloyd tonight to bag the Dees for being soft and selfish to pump them up before they play us ::).
-
We owe Melbourne especially Watts. I can't stand Watts and Green. Someone needs to shut down Moloney
-
Hopefully the Dees come in with the mindset of 'finally, an easy game to win for Viney'.
Then we come out and smash the soft pricks to pieces.
Tigers by 67. ;D
-
Lloyd can pump em all he likes, the tigers smell the cholesterol rich blood of the privileged poncington smythes and bottom toothes waiting to be gorged upon.
-
Earth to Tigers fans.....don't get carried away..... :whistle

Like that would have any bearing on us if we weren't already so immature and lazy.

-

hahahahahahahaha ur probably right.
We'll beat a team who is going for the tank and will actually think we have taken a win.
LMAO@ Dimmas press conference after this one.
What a joke.

florence nice, we have a family home near pisa, tuscany is amazing
anyway back to the topic, winning is everything, we must try and win every game to really start a winning culture and frame of mind
picks have shown in the past mean nothing to us

We'll go above Melbourne on the ladder if we win. That's 2 positions in 2 weeks. If we lose we should be happy to lose to the crows in a close one next week 8)

I'm never happy to lose to any team whenever for whatever reason. :gotigers
-
have to develop winning culture
-
Agree with Jack 100%. Failure breeds contempt for each other and doubt in your own abilities. Melbourne can keep that. Port is a demonstrating what happens right now. Our club has been there before. No more.
p.s. (yes I know, so does familiarity :shh)
-
I hope we win today and win well..
I bloody hate melbourne and their tiny but arrogant supporter base.
Any of them visiting Buller today?
-
79cm at Mt Hotham today, natural snow
No new falls over night, perfect day there today :lol
-
Webberley the sub
-
Gird your loins folks. Time is nigh to see if our blokes are fairdinkum or not.
-
Let's go tigers. Lets beat these bunch of tankers.
-
Good quick start here. Good stuff Martin hopefully he has a big game.
-
Great start tiges, just keep it up boys and demolish them :gotigers :gotigers
-
Posty playing a good game so far, should of got a free for a push on that last goal to the demon scum
-
MARK MILLER! he is playing well! and a Goal !
-
King was the only commentator today on the broadcast to tip us, Lynch and spud tipped smelbourne.
-
Gee they are gettin agro and frustrated at us now. Doing some real dirty dog acts. Jamar grabbing post by the throat in a ruck contest ... wanker.
-
Don't know what Mitch Farmer was thinking hitting the ball out
-
wasn't that bad, he couldn't take possession he was in his back. He took a chance and it backfired.
-
Umpires must have been told at quarter time 'frees for dees' wink wink
-
Post doing very well
-
Beefcake goals
-
wtf was the umpy doing when he let Davey elbow Morton in the head and then calls play on .... honestly is he serious? It was hardly a secret, it stood out like dogs ackets!
-
We have earned our goals they have been given a lot of umpire specials so I am thinking the Tiges are doing ok.
-

tWas a disgrace and obvious from 100m away.
Disgusting >:(
-
Would keep Miller in 2012 .great hit up target .
-
He has been on fire today, really is looking in good nic too, fitness wise. In the past two weeks he looks like a rejuvenated man and is playing like a younger bloke. Am liking Mortons efforts today too. Is really getting in there and when he gets the ball he is usually rock solid. Been some big hits too. Dea has copped a couple. Foley is coming into some form.
-
Sitting down on the fence at the Ponsford end.Miller continually leads up the ground .creates are great decoy for Jack
-
Would keep Miller in 2012 .great hit up target .
Dont get too carried away. His opponent has been as loose as a wizards sleeve
-
nice spot. I am not so fortunate today, am watching on the idiot box had some clan duties at home so I am multitasking.
-
We're letting the front runners Jurrah and Sylvia get too loose!! :banghead
-
Jackson hopeless .took his eyes off the ball.easy goal to Jones
-
Lookin tired...
-
Had enough of Dea and Morton .both refuse to chase.good bye..Griggs as well
-
These mother idiots are getting away with so much stuffing HOLDING and jumper tugging!!@!
-
We better come back and win this otherwise I'd be fuming at the umpires and I rarely criticize umpires.
-
Lmao. Way a oak of shitmen as
Led by foley the worst player in the comp.
If I was duarte manager I'd send him to another club. Rfc are going nowhere. Wake up to reality u dumb stuffs
-
We are losing it out of the centre.
Grigg was our leading possession getter in the first half, yet I can't see that he has had any impact on the game.
We MUST get rid of Jackson. >:(
-
Dustys manager I mean
-
Hardwick is s h it
-
we need to kick the first goal this quarter IMO. get some momentum going.
-
And now the Umpires won't pay us a stuffing free but are finding bullshyte ones for them... here we go.
-
Nahas you little legend, well done. He was in for a crunching but he held his nerve and got a goal.
-
There's Webbers for ya Jack, lovely goal LOL
-
Martin held by jumper cant make a lead ump ignores it.
-
oh stuff ME DEAD !!!! the umpire is a stuffing IMBECILE I want him burned
-
Nahas might be our matchwinner here the little champ
-
courage Lids!
-
There's Sheddy for ya jack lol nice goal!
-
Umps aren't happy, so they try and square it up with a free kick to melbourne in the square for some intangible
-
Dont consider this a win... if they played Green the whole game we would have lost, simple.
-
Good win, tough game.
-
Dont consider this a win... if they played Green the whole game we would have lost, simple.
Maybe but a win is a win. :gotigers
-
Sack foley. Kicks 2. Gives away 4
-

We have the points, they don't, its in the history books, if buts and maybes won't be.
-
The return of Owl is one to remember. Go Tiges
-
Sack foley. Kicks 2. Gives away 4
But sheedy loves him and one real positive from today is foleys game. Now all we need is for us to be smart enough to try and trade him out in afew weeks with Jackson for a u17 pick.
-
Go Tiger's, Great Win :bow All you Nay Sayers out there can get stuffed, you need serious :help :help :help
-
And getting back to the game. Thought we did real well in the first half. Thought Hardwick and co. had a good first half, pity they didnt continue it into the 2nd half. Grigg, Jackson and afew others need to go, Who decided that Grigg should be given a 3 year deal? Bad mistake!
-
Bojangles17 thought it was a masterstroke. Grigg :lol

Gee Grigg cops it! Fair dinkum, we are light years ahead in that trade!
-

-
JT, where u been hiding you bastard, you left me talking to myself for most of the game. Grigg does lack some pace, I won't criticise his endeavour. I reckon he needs to shed a few. That little prick Davey better have a holiday after his dirty little elbow on Morts. Should of been a 50metre penalty we didn't even get a free kick. Sylvia was in the book too for something but I forget what it was.
-
Hahaha, just lurking as usual old boy. ;D Love those Tiges :thumbsup Hully is the one who is hiding. That prick is a weirdo. Someone from the group is always missing :lol
:gotigers

I don't want to be labelled as homophobic, but gee wiz, I hate Watts.

Gets plenty of it, hangs out a bit, then turns the ball over by foot.
Bit one sided as well
-
LOL Dookie, actually he seems like an alright bloke, he was on before the game, thought he was pretty balanced young individual with a good sense of humour, despite being in that horrible team.
-

So true.
Is he the idiot with the beautiful hair?

Watts is soft! Melbourne r gey! We have more going for us in leaps and bounds than that mob.
Scully will pi55 off to GWS for 5 years get his mollah and then when at his peak come to the Tigers who will then be in their prime.
I don't know how the Deez got to that stage where I hate them taht much.
-

It should have been obvious when morton was laying on the ground semi conscious but the effing tool then allowed a Melbourne scum to jump of top of morton and drive his knee into a semi conscious mans chest .
disease ridden pepe le pew.

Fabio, the most beautiful player in MelbourneFC.

3 decent quarters of footy and one lazy pathetic one which almost cost us the game. Dimma gave them an absolute spray at 3/4 time and deservedly so. Basically our classy top half-dozen or so got us home after half-time. We really struggled with Melbourne's pace and spread especially in the second half. They were playing us on the rebound and our midfield didn't push as hard back as they did forward which exposed our open backline if we didn't hold it in our forward 1/3 and enabled the Dees run it down and get easy shots on goal and kick something like 14.2 at one stage. I haven't checked the stats but for mine our midfield had the better at winning the footy (except for the 3rd qtr) but defensively we still don't work hard enough as a team. Also we really lack quality elite smalls/crumbers up forward. Being front and square to the fall of the ball seemed a foreign concept especially after half-time.
-
You will find that Jones .Sylvia and Maloney killed us
-
Yeah the third quarter effort was poor, we turned off the pressure bigtime. A good win nonetheless and another step forwards in the learning curve. We would of dropped that game last year when they turned it around on us. They didn't let them psych us out and learned to win tight.
-
You will find that Jones .Sylvia and Maloney killed us
Except they lost. Jones is a good player, hard to stop. I think he was given a lot more attention this game than last time and was not as effective.
-
You will find that Jones .Sylvia and Maloney killed us
And you will find that when it counted Cotch, Tuck and Lids killed them ;D
-
Damn straight TFT. They took their lumps today, coz Melbourne was pushing the envelope with dirty hits, but our blokes kept their eyes on the pill.

agree with all of that. Also noticed melbourne get front and square all over the ground, we got smashed on the rebound when countless times our defenders would spoil the ball at chb or the wing or the centre and there'd be melbourne players front and square every time. Its part of their game plan as they spread from defence with runners sprinting to get to the fall of the ball of the hitup forward just in case he doesnt mark it. Simple stupid football and its embarrassing we let them get away with it all game.
If I was dimma I would be ropeable that after total domination we only beat them by a kick - shouldve been 10 goals if we put more scorebaord pressure on them when we were supposed to.
Foley was bloody good today. Best game back.
Really liked the way Lids stood up when the game needed to be won. For some reason I was more impressed with Cotchin today than in any of his many better classier performances. He willed himself at the contest and threw himself at the ball with a ferocity Ive never seen from him - noticed this especially in the 3rd quarter when they were murdering us out of the centre square.
I liked our fwd press for large parts of the game, best structures Ive seen from us but still needs tweaking, once it gets broken down we give away the simplest of goals - counted about 6-7 goals through the back door. Some players were a split second too late in leaving their space for a man - but you can accept these things bc today for the first time I can honestly say I saw a well structured fwd press.
edit: forgot to add I get so stuffing angry when out of form cheats like Jurrah get brought in for games against us bc everyopne knows we'll play your duds back into form. :banghead :banghead :banghead

All i know is Jack Watts is a beautiful man

Need to win these games when we should and next year, no real benefit now. :scream

yep the only reason i wanted to win was to poo some of the Dees fans up at the game.
personally, the result means SFA i couldnt give a flying stuff.
Yeah they played with heart whatever. I dont buy this crap.
we did it last year we did it year before when all is done and dusted and teams have relaxed a bit we start to play good footy but for most of the season we crumbled like the scared little bunnies that they are
Edit: avoiding the swear filter
-
Need to win these games when we should and next year, no real benefit now. :scream
That's right, we really need to hammer home the " it's ok to loose mentality" at the end of this season so we come out firing with the same mentality for next season :wallywink
You make about as much sence as half the other dip stick loony's that post hear....

"loser mentality" hahahahahahaha yeah where was the loser mentality against the GC suns and Port.. Ooh thats right it didnt exist.
give me a spell. We beat the dees big stuffin deal.
The clubs wins pathetic meaningless games when the season is done and dusted and you expect people to get excited when you see players like Farmer and Edwards still in the team. :banghead

So your theory is we should delibretly loose, don't have a go and don't even bother trying for the last few games so the message sinks in that we need to become more mentally tough, play out 4 quarters and win at all costs? Makes sence to me :help :help

of course you would rather win than loss and i dont care about the picks as its too late for that, but i dont care as much about winning now that the year is done and dusted. Have seen it too many teams with this club.
We win the last few go into Summer suck us in for more money only to be bent over again by Carlton and whoever we play in the first 5 rounds and around we go again.

it's "LOSE",stuffwit,not LOOSE!
Loose is an adjective used to describe Jack Watts hole

Here I was thinking Tassie is just a little bit behind us, now I know it's a another planet. READ the papers clown, everyone knows this years draft is the weakest for many years and next years will be one of the strongest...... :sleep :wallywink

Actually I think you will find the top 15 to 20 is this years draft is quite strong, particulary for KPP's!
I would take pick 12 over 10 no worries especially knowing we didn't tank for it, but each to there own I supose.....

I don't want to be labelled as homophobic, but gee wiz, I hate Watts.
His whining to the umps for free kicks was shocking. He was embarassing himself. It's as if he thinks his Brighton Grammar silver spoon must translate into the footy field.
Will not be upset if someone knocks him out on the field from any club. Effing princess.
How insirational was the worst skipper in the league when he came on. Tugged his guernsey real hard when he kicked his goal in the third quarter. Made me want to jump the fence effing downhill skier.
-
Loved Cotch kicking the captain's goal to put us back in front :thumbsup.
Sums up Melbourne having their captain as the sub. Any coach worth their salt knows the sub should be a runner so you can add some fresh legs into the midfield; not some ageing wannabee KPP.
-
Yeah Green is a dud isn't he? LMAO
stuff me swinging

Who's a happy Tiger tonight / this morning lol just got home ;D
:gotigers keep winning lads. :gotigers

When is the replay on foxtel gents
-
Gee Grigg cops it! Fair dinkum, we are light years ahead in that trade!
:cheers :cheers
x 3. Gotta remember he is is still only young and learning. Gets plenty of the ball and with the development Nahas, King, Rance et al have shown under Hardwick then I would say he has plenty of potential to become a very good player. Gets plenty of the ball and that is the most important first step.
-
@ Al
and following through with a quick anal prodding in the goal sqaure-just for entertainment value, :lol
:lol
-
And getting back to the game. Thought we did real well in the first half. Thought Hardwick and co. had a good first half, pity they didnt continue it into the 2nd half. Grigg, Jackson and afew others need to go, Who decided that Grigg should be given a 3 year deal? Bad mistake!
Gee Grigg cops it! Fair dinkum, we are light years ahead in that trade!
Yetersday was proof that stats lie
Grigg lost me weeks ago but struth if people think refusing to chase, not running full tilt at the ball and not going in for the hard ball when it's your turn is OK (and that's been the story of his last 8 weeks BTW) then yeap we've done very well indeed
And BTW don't get me started on his non-effort next the behind post :banghead :banghead
-
Problem with Griggs is that he hangs out to much for the easy kick and he is usually wrong sided for a left footer when he gets it.
-
By the way.His non effort next to the behind post was right in front of me.as bad as Farmers deliberate out of bounce where he had eyes for the boundary line .
-
i feel genuine pity for those that simply cant enjoy a win.
eff me, we don't get many of them.
-

I thought Farmer was stiff to be pinged for that. What else could he do? He was one out against 2 or 3 Demons, because our backs had been caught out of position. He'd done really well to deny them a gimmee goal where they should have just waltzed into an open goal. But as he got taken to ground he wasn't facing the goals, and so couldn't just concede a point. He was under extreme pressure, and all he did was just handball it away from the contest in the direction he was facing.
-
Cannot criticize him for that action, he had that bloke all over him like a fly on a nard and he had to punch it somewhere or take possession and get caught. He played the percentages and it got the shaft, poo happens.
-
Problem with Griggs
His name is GRIGG. Fairdinkum do you get anything right ever ?

Agree Rolls but I reckon what stuff it fo him was the angle in which he pushed the ball towards the line. If he had gone for more metres rather than the shorter option he would have likely got away with it.
I thought he was really stiff because his effort up until that point in that contest was first rate

2 wins in a row l'm sucking it all up AL :thumbsup :gotigers
-
Loved the win, :cheers couldn't get to the game but watched it at the Sandy Pub. A few D's were there and their comments were interesting.
What a great effort by Nahas, his intensity is awesome, love the lad. Cotchins efforts were inspirational. I am eating my words and reckon that Edwards was pretty good as well. His second efforts were very good.
Grigg, :banghead did he have an appointment to be somewhere else? He looked very disinterested. His efforts were very average, disposal was poor, does he know what a shepherd is or what a second effort is? Personally instead of subbing Post off I think it should have been Grigg.
What about the elbow to the head of Morton??
Morton looks like he has another year to offer?
Conclusion. We have to thank Jordon McMahon ;D for winning the game against Melbourne on the siren 2009, We would have had Scully and they would have had Martin. At last we have a genuine superstar (how many is that now??) and the players that had a real dip are starting to outweigh the players that are just running around.
Great work!! :clapping

what happened to our coaching panel in the 3rd? why the inability to clog up the game or stick afew men behind the play, melbourne were getting through the middle and once that was happening it was almost a certain goal.
-
By the way.His non effort next to the behind post was right in front of me.as bad as Farmers deliberate out of bounce where he had eyes for the boundary line .
Grigg was deplorable there I agree but Farmer to stay in the contest as long as he did and get pinged not by the officiating umpire there but the umpire from 50 metres away was just shocking. I thought Farmer did some nice things last night.
-
I must say I am not a fan of Farmer but he did do some good things. Possibly would be a better player in a better team but his endeavour is quite good. Has to work a little on his second efforts and delivery but gave him a pass last night.
-
thought Foley was very good last night. Got us out of a couple of tight situations. looked sharp and explosive
I'd be very wary trading him in his first season back from a long term injury. Unless we are offered something very juicy for him. Might just explode next year.
Also really liked Lids two crucial defensive tackles in the last. :thumbsup
-
Agree, we seem to have a history of being quick to trade good players coming off injuries.
Lids is a champ.
-
I haven't checked the stats but for mine our midfield had the better at winning the footy (except for the 3rd qtr) but defensively we still don't work hard enough as a team.
Hit the nail on the head there, MT. We didn't run back hard enough when the Dee's broke through the press. Even if the defenders were able to hold up the run forward of the Dee's for a few moments, we didn't have our midfielders running back hard enought to offer assistance. Too many times, I saw on the idiot box replays, our mids sort of running back, but they weren't sprinting like you see the Skunks' mids do.
-
the problem is that it took the skunks 3-4 years to build up a fitness base to be able to play that way.

The win did nothing for me.
They beat a poo club with a caretaker coach an an icon battling cancer that they couldnt beat earlier in the season -great! ::)
Let's promote it as a plus and a step in the right direction...pleeeeease!!!

Agreed Ox. Could not get excited at all. The Carlton loss has turned me into a psychological basket case for 2011. I hope to resume normal Tiger supporting in 2012.

after going to Darwin to see that rabble of a performance i like D Crane chose to forget 2011
The only positive is ending the hopes of that heartless club for 2011.
