Must win game!
Hi Chucky!
-
Needs to be 70 points+
-
Brisbane are no easy beats, still need to bring our A game or suffer the consequences. They arent the same team away from the Gabba but will still be a good test to see if we can follow up Saturdays effort.
-
Golby out. Same with Jono Brown.
-
The Lions will be bringing their A game don't worry about that. This will not be an easy win, I will be happy with a 4 goal win, should be more but a wins a win.

In vickery
Out Stephenson

Hi Chucky!
:banghead :banghead :banghead

This is gunna be a nice relaxing day at the footy
-
Just Win Richmond :gotigers
-
Brisbane have 5 of their past 7 which includes wins over Geelong and Norf.
They also beat Essendon back in May - that's 3 teams we haven't beaten this year.
They were possibly a little unlucky to lose to the Pwower at AAMI a couple of weeks ago.
A good running side who may give us a fright if we don't bring our A Game in Saturday.
On the plus for us is they haven't played at the G this year.
-
Suppose the best thing about playing Brissie is they haven't beaten us since Dimma's been coach ;D
Granted most of the games have been at the Gabba
Magic number time Tigers :clapping
13, 13, 13, 13

Yeah, we got it, 13 is the magic number
And you are quite correct one more win and we are guaranteed a finals spot.
Happy?

Richmond have not lost to the Brisbane Lions since Hardwick took over as coach.
Infact tigers have only lost once to the lions in the past ten encounters.
-
Due for a loss then

Agree. Can't afford to lapse after a great effort against the Hawks. Need to be clinical and bring the same intensity we brought to the Hawks game.

Preview: Tigers v Lions
By Nathan Schmook
afl.com.au
Tuesday, August 6, 2013
SUMMARY
The Tigers (12-6) are officially finals-bound for the first time since 2001 after their brilliant 41-point win over Hawthorn in round 19. With seven wins from their past nine games, the Tigers won't just be making up the numbers either. Locked with Collingwood on 48 points and 115.5 per cent, Saturday's clash against the Brisbane Lions (8-10) offers the Tigers a chance to boost their percentage and jump into sixth spot. The Lions, however, won't just roll over with Michael Voss's men in reasonable form, winning four of their past five games.
WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Saturday August 10, 1.45pm
LAST FIVE TIMES
R19, 2012, Richmond 20.12 (132) d Brisbane Lions 12.12 (84) at the Gabba
R13, 2011, Richmond 18.17 (125) d Brisbane Lions 14.10 (94) at the Gabba
R6, 2011, Richmond 18.16 (124) d Brisbane Lions 14.14 (98) at the MCG
R13, 2010, Richmond 15.15 (105) d Brisbane Lions 12.14 (86) at the Gabba
R7, 2009, Brisbane Lions 15.7 (97) d Richmond 10.11 (71) at the MCG
THE SIX POINTS
1. The Tigers have dominated the Lions recently, winning the past four contests. They hold a 10-3 advantage in clashes between the sides at the MCG.
2. The Lions have a poor recent record at the MCG, winning just two of 10 matches at the venue since 2009.
3. Richmond remains the worst tackling side in 2013, ranked last for overall tackles. The Lions are ranked 10th.
4. Richmond midfielder Brett Deledio earned three Brownlow votes when these sides last met, finishing with 33 possessions and one goal.
5. Star Tigers midfielder Trent Cotchin is building form, winning 34 possessions (18 contested) and nine clearances last week against the Hawks.
6. Lions midfielder Daniel Rich is climbing in the Official AFL Player Ratings after slumping to No.76 overall in round 12. Rich has regained the No.1 ranking at his club and is ranked No.22 overall.

that tackling stat is overrated andf fos
the hawks beat us in tackles but we were harder at the ball and first to the ball
htf can u tackle more if u r 1st to the ball and winning clearances as we do and are no1 at it

Pie 81 tackles to bombers 50. Just for u X ;D
But yeah I have no beef at all with lower tackling stats now, when we generally press and pressure like we do its as good as tackling

I'd take a 41 point win against the Hawks and lose the tackle count over winning the tackle count and losing.
We're also the 3rd best defensive team in the league. We must be doing something right.

Though understand the argument, IMV it is in games like the Swans one where the tackling numbers are an issue.
In that game the lack of tackling reflected how easily the Swans ran off us, away from us with very little defensive pressure from us especially in the middle. In a way the question becomes how different the result if we had of applied that defensive pressure?
-
hardwick reckons we are one the best teams at getting first posesion from a stoppage, which means we are more often the ones being tackled.
tackling is just one aspect of pressure applied to the opposition, and like most stats is generally meaningless on its own

Remember the 'old' days when we use to say before playing a top 8 side it would be a good test to see where we are at ;D. Now we've become the litmus test it seems for other clubs to measure up to :gotigers.
Brisbane Lions want to roar like Tigers
Fairfax media
August 7, 2013 - 10:45AM
The improving Brisbane Lions are eying in-form Richmond as a valuable litmus test for their AFL finals potential.
Brisbane appear just out of finals reckoning with four rounds left this season, but milestone man Daniel Merrett says an upset over the Tigers on Saturday would highlight their top-eight credentials for 2014.
Merrett hopes to celebrate his 150th game with a rare MCG win over Richmond, who he sees as a year or two ahead of the young Lions in development terms.
Richmond (12-6) are preparing for their first September campaign in 12 years following a 41-point thumping of Hawthorn but the Lions (8-10) are also in good form with four wins from their past five matches.
"The last few years they've been a few spots ahead of us on the ladder but we haven't beaten them for ages so it's a massive test for us to see if can we maybe make the step up next year, to that next group," Merrett said on Wednesday.
"We'll be on the MCG in front of a big crowd and they're up and about.
"They've been a developing team over the last few years and have come out of the blocks and smashed us early."
Brisbane last beat the Tigers in 2009, the only season in Michael Voss's five-year tenure the Lions have made the finals, and suffered an eight-goal Gabba thumping this time last year.
Merrett must step into injured co-captain Jonathan Brown's boots as the prime spearhead on Saturday as his career has turned full circle.
The 28-year-old debuted as a power forward under Leigh Matthews in 2005 before making his mark as a hard-nosed stuff.
The flexible Merrett is resigned to finishing his career in the forward line and eventually taking over from Brown, who turns 32 in October.
"The back line are doing a good job and they don't need me any more," he said.
Brisbane hope to have both Simon Black (groin) and Brent Moloney (hamstring) back from injuries to take on the highly-skilled Tigers midfield but Voss won't take any risks.
"What this game does demand is that you are absolutely 100 per cent fit and your capacity to play 120 minutes of football is paramount," he said.

From Merretts quotes it sounds like they are using this game as barometer for their credentials for a finals challenge next year. We will need to turn up and get on top early we can't give teams like this a sniff of victory or in the case of their come back against Geelong a chance of fighting back.

This won't be an easy game. They will throw everything at us and keep fighting the whole game expecting us to fold. Really need to control the play and spread the scoring load as Merrett is a very good backman. We should do it and win easily but only if we treat this game with the same respect we did with last weeks game.

Preview: Richmond v Brisbane

Last Updated 08/08/2013
WE THINK:
The Tigers might be riding high following the finest win of their 2013 campaign but they have to ensure they quickly adjust their focus to their upcoming task. The Lions have shown on numerous occasions this year that they are a hard nut to crack and, while they may be sitting in 12th spot right now, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick will be well aware that Brisbane's best footy has been capable of bringing down premiership fancies Geelong. The Lions are also enjoying the best form of their season and if not for a close loss to Port Adelaide in Round 18, could very well be in the midst of a five-game winning streak.
Brisbane lose Brown, but could very well bolster their midfield with Moloney and Black, which would be much-needed given the incredible performance of Richmond's engine room last week to help smash Hawthorn in clearances (54-36) and contested possessions (147-114). Any hint of complacency against the plucky Lions could bring about Richmond's downfall, but the Tigers have too much to play for to let this one slip. They're on the verge of their first finals appearance in 12 years and their determination to ensure that becomes confirmed sooner rather than later should see them pass this tricky encounter against the Lions. Richmond by 27 points.

Tigers aim to clinch AFL finals spot
9 Aug 2013, 8:03 pm
Source: AAP/SBS
Richmond are chasing their 13th AFL win in Saturday's clash with Brisbane in a game that could seal the Tigers' place in the finals.
Saturday's AFL round 20 clash between Richmond and Brisbane should be the moment the Tigers confirm their first finals appearance since 2001, but it could also provide a glimpse of a new era for the Lions.
Seventh-placed Richmond (12-6 win-loss), after upsetting ladder leaders Hawthorn last week, will send a dazzling array of midfield talent into battle against Brisbane (8-10).
Asked about the likes of Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin and Brett Deledio, Brisbane onballer Daniel Rich admitted it was more a case of trying to contain the damage.
"They're all very good players," Rich told reporters on Friday.
"You can't stop them all.
"You only have to look to last week and it shows they've been playing good footy.
"It's going to be a huge game for us."
Rich says there's no escaping the sense of excitement at Tigerland.
"You always hear those types of things and hear a bit of a buzz but I suppose the old saying is we can only look after our own back yard and play how we want to play," Rich said.
Richmond named Robin Nahas to replace Shane Edwards (hamstring) who pulled out of Thursday's selected side and ruck/forward Ty Vickery comes in for Orren Stephenson.
The Lions have been rocked by the news 31-year-old forward Jonathan Brown may have played his last game after suffering a foot injury in last week's win over St Kilda.
Brisbane recalled ex-Demon Stefan Martin to play his fifth game for the club and first since round four.
Martin has overcome ankle and hamstring injuries. The 27-year-old returns alongside Ryan Lester and Brent Moloney in place of Mitch Golby (suspended), Brown and Rohan Bewick (omitted).
Martin has been named at centre-half forward and says he's keen to repay his new club's faith in him.
"We all know he (Brown) is not going to be there forever so it gives an opportunity for someone else to be able to play in a game like this, so it's an exciting time on the other hand," Rich said.
Rover Tom Rockliff had 39 disposals against the Saints while Matthew Leuenberger is third in the league for hit-outs.
Brisbane have won four of their past five games and Rich says Rockliff's form over the past month has been superb.
Leuenberger, described by Rich as a superstar player, will take on Richmond's Ivan Maric in a crucial midfield battle in the MCG clash.

Dayne Zorko says Brisbane Lions must embrace challenge of playing at MCG against Richmond
Elyse Perrau
The Courier-Mail
August 09, 2013 12:49PM
BRISBANE forward Dayne Zorko says the Lions must embrace the rare opportunity to play at the MCG to have any hope of beating finals-bound Richmond tomorrow.
The Lions will make their only trip to the home of football this year to face the in-form Tigers, who have excelled on the hallowed turf in 2013.
Richmond has won seven of its 10 MCG matches this season, including its past five at the venue which include victories against Hawthorn, Fremantle and Adelaide.
Zorko kicked three goals in his MCG debut in Round 12 last year against Hawthorn. Brisbane have lost eight of their past 10 outings at the ground, but Zorko said the venue should hold no fears for any ambitious footballer.
“It can be potentially daunting but the MCG is the greatest place to play I reckon, and it is a great opportunity for all of us,” Zorko said.
The Lions must contain Richmond's powerhouse midfield of Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio, Nathan Foley and Dustin Martin if they are to have any chance claiming their first win against the Tigers since 2009.
Even though Brisbane is out of the finals race, Zorko said the Lions had plenty to play for.
"We don’t treat every game like a final, but the boys realise the importance of the games from here on in,’’ he said.
"We just take it one week at a time, and this week Richmond will be a massive task so we just need to focus on that."

The main danger today is complacency after a big win last week. I hope we don't fall into our usual habit of playing to the level of our opposition even when we are playing a bottom 8 side :-\.

Great weather today so im hoping we can bring our A game

suns out today looks like a nice day to go to the footy. we should get a big crowd and a nice 8 goal win.

Mentally weak and don't deserve it

The darkside is sooooo 2003
I'm on the flipside ;D
-
bagging all and sundry in 2003 was highly entertaining. Where is Jim Boogie the star that never quite made it to Punt Road :lol
-
I like to dabble with kindling and a match on the edge of the sunrise. It goes with my hipster image.
-
Tuck the sub......would of thought Nahas would be...anyway.
-
Go Jacko!!!!
-
Strong quarter by the Tiges. Tried to get too fancy a couple of times, but the Lion's poor disposal helped us get out of trouble.
-
For anyone still wandering the value and supposed contributional benefits of Nanas .. Just watch this game and all your questions will be answered.
If He's playing I won't be going to watch.
-
Very handy lead at half time!! Well done Tiges. :clapping
-
Gee Richmond, scoreless in the third nearing the end..... :-\
Not good enough really.
-
26 points now....not good enough...... :banghead
-
Absolutely appalling quarter. The mids stopped wanting the get the ball. Lions were harder at the contest, ran harder, spread better. Hardwick should be filthy with them. In the players put in another quarter like that, we'll be lucky to hang on.
Why on earth they gave a game to Nahas, I will never understand! Between Nahas and Foley, Brisbane may as well have another player on the field.
-
26 points now....not good enough...... :banghead
We need to come out fighting after 3/4 time ...... We've give the Lions a sniff that they shouldn't have had.
-
Honestly to go from 46 points up at half time, then not to score a major in the third, to be up by only 26 at 3 QTR time is not acceptable..
-
Not really good enough in the end, players and coach need to find out what went wrong, cant do the same next week against the Blues and we cant play finals footy like that either..
-
Interesting, WA, that Jacko said to Timmy that we had some really tired legs out there after half time. Big games against Sydney and the Hawks must have taken it out of them.
-
First half we looked top 4
Second half we looked bottom 4
They are a cheeky team Brisbane. Vossy has them on the right track.
-
Hangover from last week in my opinion, it was a big game and a top 4 scalp, will give ammo for Hardwick when preparing for the scum.
-
Interesting, WA, that Jacko said to Timmy that we had some really tired legs out there after half time. Big games against Sydney and the Hawks must have taken it out of them.
Yeah, tired legs at half time.... :-\.....light training run this week I think.
Lets hope the Blues are run off their legs this afternoon then.
-
Doggies might give the Blues a run for their money, WA. They've been playing better lately.
-

Yeah here's hoping. Additionally we will have Edwards and hopefully king back next week, that should see Nahas out and another omission. Extra legs with Edwards.
-
I reckon Foley must have come a close second to Nahas for turnovers today. By both hand and foot!
-
1st 10 minutes of the game we were poor even though we got the first 2 goals. From 10 minutes into the 1st to the end of the 2nd quarter we were very good after half time we were stuffing diabolical. Disgraceful performance after half time. Nahas shouldnt have played. Did Zero. Our players were lazy in the 2nd half and our midfield in particular was poor after half time. Overall a 4/10 for me today.
-
I thought we were one man down all day, Ramps. Nahas was useless.
-

Donut should have played. Missed opportunity to give a kid a game of footy. Nahas shouldnt play again this season IMHO.
-
Geelong led port by 10 goals at 3/4 time....now it's only 33.
Just saying.
-
Just tired. Kids like Ellis and Vlastuin looked rooted in that second half.
Just recovery this week. Nothing hard.
And omg seriously Tuck gets one quarter and Nahas gets three. Wtf. Nahas shoulda been the sub and come in for a tired youngster.
-
Geelong led port by 10 goals at 3/4 time....now it's only 33.
Just saying.
Dead right and now its full time and they made it home by 25 points.. :o :o
Maybe the players just do what they have to do...who knows... :-\
-
Poor. Given that we were behind Collingwood by percentage alone you'd think they'd go for the kill a bit more.
-
Not really good enough in the end, players and coach need to find out what went wrong, cant do the same next week against the Blues and we cant play finals footy like that either..
i will tell u whats wrong
nahas foley and sadly tuck are all no good
90% of whatever they did was a total stuff up
nahas and foley in the 3rd qtr did everything they could to kill us
mguane cant play 4 qtrs
tuck looks lost
cotchins kicking is becoming a worry as is jacks sets shots from straight out

that pretty much sums it up, I still dont understand why they gave Nahas another chance. The donut could have had a game today. Anyway the team got the 4 points but the way they did it in the 2nd half was very average.
-
I'd just like to officially thank Robert Nahas for his contribution to the Richmond football club, hopefully one day I get to shake your hand while buying a yiros off you, thanks, see you later champ :thumbsup
-
CONCS :cheers
-
Said to MT at halftime even though we were 7goals I didn't think we had played well, just looked flat.
2nd half was terrible, Brissie changed their game style, we isn't and it almost cost us
Good news I'd we won, have hit the magic number, we play finals. :woohoo
Though play like we did today we will play 1 final and that will be that ;D
-
CONCS :cheers
...add Vlaustin and Ellis to that as they tried hard all day. Message to Dimma.......you won't win a final with the likes of Nahas, McGuane and Tuck in the one side so why bother....find others when any nominal 22 player's are out of the side. But I really liked Vickery's game today.....
-

yep I agree on Nahas McGuane and Tuck - kids like McDonough, McBean should get a chance if theres a place in the team. Grimes, S.Edwards and King also to come back.
-
Thought Tucky was really exposed today in the lack of pace stakes. Granted hes never been quick but gee the Lions exploited it today by switching play through him

Why do socialists like to annoy people?
-
what was wrong with Mr Magoos game today?
Some of you you blokes just rag on players based on pre-conceived perceptions rather than what is happening.
Mcguane has his limitations and may not be part of the future, but he's done his job in the last 2 weeks. once again he set the tone early and it aint his fault the team went into their comfort zone after half time.
-
Sorry but it is still mathematically possible to not make the finals.
:cheers
True...
But magic number now reached, wasn't just my magic number either :)
And....
N0rt cannot pass us they've won 8 games, four games to go they win 4 they record 12 wins = cannot pass us
Carlton can hit 13 wins if they win today and win their remaining games after that but we have a superior % which basically equates to another game. They are currently getting beaten by the dogs.

Carlton losing means that we are now 100% sure of making the finals.
:thumbsup
-
If we'd scored 7 more points we'd be ahead of Collingwood. Pain in the butt. Need to put these teams to the sword. No relaxed wins please.
-
Um we won!
-
Today shows how much we struggle v the flood.
Early in the third we kick 2 points and could have just killed the game and spared the drama.
Team actually looked tired. Noticed Ellis was really struggling chasing a Brissy player late in the game and he is one of our better runners.
Jack misses his first shot and he struggles for the rest of the day. Could have kicked four or five and dished a gimme off to McGuane.
Liked that Conca, Ellis, Morris, McGuane all chimed in with goals rather than our usual players would have been nice if they did but anyway. Cotch can't buy a goal this season. Anyway.
Glad we got the win and the monkey of our back, lets refocus and bury the cheats next week and end their season once and for all and show them why we are superior to them in every way. :thumbsup

Like watching a re run of an old movie.
Everytime we play Brisbane it's always the same old plot....we end up a mile in front , lose interest , lose focus , Brisbane threaten to make a comeback ....tigers pull their finger out and record an easy win.

Said to MT at halftime even though we were 7goals I didn't think we had played well, just looked flat.
2nd half was terrible, Brissie changed their game style, we isn't and it almost cost us
Yep our intensity was off from the first bounce. As WP said we looked as if we knew we were the better side and we were just going through the motions. It worked in the first half as we stuck to the coaches' instructions for the game while Brisbane were deplorable and played into our hands. In the second half, Brisbane lifted in the centre thanks to Daniel Rich as well as going one-on-one across the ground; while our midfield run stopped. So we ended up continually trying to switch from side to side coming out of defence but as there was no run in the midfield, Brisbane were able to slide across and block off the exit routes.

Listen to the flog (Brian Taylor?) at the 5:20 min mark.
Brisbane goals and he says "We're within three goals"

General tiredness affected many players yesterday. All the more reason to keep rotations from the 2nds happening.

Went to sleep in second half. Absolutely no run in second half. A real worry. Kicking for goal needs drastic improvement. If we kicked straight in 2nd quarter Brisbane would not have even got close. Jack and McGuane missed easy shots. Fantastic game from Conca. His tackling was top notch. Also thought Morris and Rance were outstanding.

Good teams play crap and still win :clapping

Basil Zemp-something I think it was. I don't think he meant it the way you're taking it

Something is wrong there with Cotch getting nine votes, I have it on good authority that Cotch was not in our best players.
