Crazy odds for a team that has won one game

Crazy odds for a team that has won one game
They have been pretty competitive in a lot of their matches in the past 1-2 months. We just scraped past them at the G and our form, not withstanding the win on the weekend has been mostly bad.
Not surprised they are favourites.
-
Considering we have played mostly top 8 sides last 5 wks (not inc Essendon) and eagles have been beaten as badly as we have against the similar teams, I feel it's a very 50/50 match just like last time out.
Let's hope we can travel well and pick up a W from the boys.
:gotigers

A great opportunity for the Eagles to post their 2nd (and probably last) win for season 2025. As much as I would like a win, the cards aren’t stacked in favour of a victory.

West Coast v Richmond Preview
Andrew Slevison
SEN
17 July 2025
The battle of the rebuilds resumes in Perth on Saturday night.
Richmond edged West Coast by two points the last time the two teams met at the MCG back in Round 9 - remember that Tom Brown tackle?
On that occasion the Tigers entered as favourites but the script has been slightly flipped this time around. The Eagles are narrowly favoured to win this one.
Andrew McQualter’s side took it right up to Port Adelaide last weekend before being run over the top of. But there were plenty of positive signs.
Adem Yze’s Tigers ticked off a fourth win of the campaign by beating Essendon in a forgettable Saturday night contest. But a win’s a win and it will do the Tiger cubs no harm at all to grind out close victories.
This contest pits the two lowest scoring teams and two of the three worst defensive sides against each other. So don’t expect this to be an all-out scoring affair.
But what we can expect will be competitiveness around the ball from two youthful teams looking to have a crack.
Richmond’s scoring woes are evident. The Tigers haven’t hit over 50 for five weeks.
West Coast’s attacking ability isn’t much better, but at home on the back of a positive showing, they should narrowly get the job done here.
It could go either way, but for the sake of a tip the Eagles should nab their second win of the season.
Prediction: West Coast by 6 points.

Seth from 50 :gotigers

Geez we are the worst tackling team :P.
-
That should not have got into the Eagles forward half to start with. No Tiger defensively front and square at the marking contest on the wing. Schoolboy stuff! :banghead
-
Again no one front and square and the Eagles just waltz out the front :facepalm. Lucky they missed.
-
All the play with the eagles early.
-
No intensity from us. Pathetic workrate off the ball.
-
Bruise free footy.
-
Cripps always becomes Hudson against us.
Maybe get near Harley Reid
-
Does MRJ realise it’s a benefit to be standing , as opposed to crawling around on the ground at every opportunity
-
Great chase from Maurice :clapping

Taranto goal off the back of it :gotigers

Not sure how we're only two points down.

Some player that brown run down last game wasn’t it?
-
Great chase from Maurice :clapping
Sensational, one of the best I’ve seen
However, only time all game he hasn’t gone to ground
Sonsie was also very good in that passage as a side note

Last 5 mins or so was okay but the first 20 mins was low intensity crap. Lucky to be in front. Thankfully our backline has stood up.

There is no movement forward of the ball :facepalm. No wonder we turn it over.

I was with you for a long time, but lost me in the last month after dow got injured and he finally got to play midfield.
I think it would take an insane last month of the season for him to get a new contract and if he doesn’t get one with us I can’t see him getting picked up by another club.
-
Kicking short to a contest that's to the advantage of the opposition. More schoolboy stuff :facepalm.
-
This one benefits us but these 50s are a joke.
-
Maurice misses from 40.

MRJ outstanding there.

Brilliant desperation from Maurice again with the smother :clapping
Sets up a gimme goal to Nank :gotigers

Get stuffed you whistle happy muppets ::). Put the bloody whistle away ::).

Nothing like paying 8 meter kicks as marks and Maurice gets a 35m penalty.
-
MRJ outstanding there.
He's been brilliant
Have said many times sometimes it isn't always about possessions
-
Nothing like paying 8 meter kicks as marks and Maurice gets a 35m penalty.
Both 50s should never have been given but compare the distance they gave MRJ to what they gave to Williams, would be close to double for sure.
-
Tom sims is frustrating the hell out of me
He's raw and undersized. He normally would be learning in the VFL but injuries and Lynch's suspension means we need him in the AFL team.
-
They get 2 in a row
Pathetic defence :banghead
Got complacent the last few minutes

I get all that but there's no excuse not make a contest, a marking contest
-
Can someone at Punt Rd teach our smalls to get freaking front and square at marking contests?! :banghead.
We just left the opposition waltz out the front their way everytime :banghead.
-
These 50 metre penalties are a joke

Last 5 my minutes have been nothing short of disgraceful.

I'm not excusing schoolboy mistakes and you're right WP. Just saying he's clearly not ready for this level.
-
Our set ups at stoppages are similarly just woeful defensively. We just leave the defensive side wide open. How easy do we want to make it for the opposition?! :banghead.

Thank you Eagles. That was a gift!
Hopper goal just before half-time :gotigers

That's better. Kmac to Prestia to Faull = goal! :gotigers
45 - 30
-
Nice bounce ump. Ball ended up out of the circle Eagles way and called play on ::)
-
OMG we didn't just bomb it from the kick-in and actually switched and used it to transition forward.
Faull misses from 45.
46 - 31
-
That 50 was actually there. Dumb by the Eagles player.
Hopper goal :gotigers
52 - 37
-
That's where Sonsie cops the criticism. Running inside 50 on goal and botching the kick short and wide. AFL players should be at least scoring with those kicks.
-
What was that kick from the Eagles' Brockman? lol
A gift mark to Faull 40 out. Goal! :gotigers
58 - 37

How do you miss an open teammate 20m away Kosi?

Well done Kmac. Mansell to Faull to Sonsie in the goalsquare = goal! :gotigers

Great spoil by Broad in defence. Then good transition again from D50. Mansell goal :gotigers
70 - 38
-
Like what I'm seeing from sonsie. Not sure what position hes playing but it's working for him. (Albeit against the bottom side)
-
Prestia to Kosi 40 out. Misses. We could have killed off this game with the last two shots.
72 - 38
-
Trezise subbed on. Trainor subbed off.

Short goal :gotigers
78 - 38

Ball-up 45 out. Taranto held off the ball by Baker. Timmy kicks his 3rd :gotigers
84 - 38

Well done young Tom Sims
Reward for attacking the contest
-
Brown long from back of the wing and Sims leaps to take the pack mark 35 out. Goal! :gotigers
That's 8 for quarter. Our best for the year.

Yep. Much better.

Copped a hip to the head from one of our players

Not sure what the message was at 3 qtr time but gee we've been crapped so far this qtr
Very disappointing
-
Disappointing start to the last quarter. Not that we're a good side but we should be looking to absolutely bury them tonight
-
That wasn't a free. You're allowed to bump a player ::).
-
How is that not HTB? ::)

Playing crap like we did in the first quarter. Intensity has dropped away.

Finally, we get a goal this qtr! Did our best to stuff it up but Mansell gets the goal :gotigers

Missed the whole fekkin thing because of a wedding.
Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow!

Missed it too. Spewing. Sounds like Faull played well
-
Watched it on Foxtel 503, shocking buffering issues
Great result
Positive outcomes
Maurice was great
-
Third quarter was a glimpse of whats to come. Gut running off half back, sharp ball movement with nice decisive skills, good to great defensive pressure keeping the ball in our half, players taking the game on & scoring some good goals.
Not getting carried away, it was against a worse side than us, but we actually looked like a football team at times!
Plenty more work to do but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Lets play like that very often & give consistent efforts, then we'll be getting somewhere! :cheers

WP I agree in that Sims needs to contest better but id say it’s moreso at ground level. In the air think he competes well. In saying that he is ahead of Ryan not just at the same age but at Ryan’s current age lol. 2 years left on his contract…..

Thinking I should go to sleep but heck why not stay up I don't have my kiddos this week.
Faull fmd what a competitor. This kid is going places big time.
MRJ just wow. Stat sheets show f all but he has been electric.
Hotton has shown plenty but above all I just love his pace and vision. I'm officially sold.
-
Harley Reid been good tonight but you wouldn't be paying him the reported $$$$ or giving away heaps of draft capital.

Caveat I'm only half way through the replay.
We watching the same game?
The kid is a stuffing jet. If anything I'm more convinced now than 1 hour ago that I'd part with our two first rounders in a heartbeat. Another preseason under his belt and he immediately adds to our midfield, pace and clearances and goal kicking.

Yes but the green shoots and the game style they are wanting to play was there.
If there was anytime it was going to be on show was last night.
It doesn't matter who it was against point is we got a glimpse
I just hope they bring it next week against the Pies.

What happened with Trainor?
Did he just go MIA?
Basically didn't touch the footy for two quarters.
Saw Yze trying to use him to tag Reid in the 2nd quarter which was interesting before moving to the highly effective Ross.

AFL Report Card - Round 19
Ben Cotton and Catherine Healey
Foxsports
21 July 2025
RICHMOND
The Tigers have recorded back to back wins for the first time in more than two years - and impressively the young outfit did it away from home without the likes of veterans Tom Lynch and Noah Balta. Adem Yze’s side were determined, controlled and dominant against a woeful West Coast outfit. The Tigers finished with the same number of chances inside 50 as the Eagles - yet with 62.5% efficiency once inside (up 16% on their season average), they made the most of their chances with 16 goals to eight.
In the votes
Maurice Rioli Jnr was the spark for his side in the first half. His brilliant 100m chase down tackle on Brady Hough in the middle of the ground turned the tide in Richmond’s favour. He then backed that up with an inspirational smother on Harry Edwards - both acts resulting in Richmond goals. Tim Taranto (30 disposals, seven clearances and three goals), Jacob Hopper (33 disp, eight clearances and two goals) and Jack Ross (25 disp, nine tackles and five clearances while tagging Harley Reid out of the contest in the second half) were some of Richmond’s best.
Room for improvement
The Tigers were slow to start away from home. But once Maurice Rioli Jnr got into the action, they switched on and took the game away from the Eagles.
