The Saints have pretty much owned us for the past 5 years since Thomas made his "we're still the better side" comment. Even when they've been struggling we've put them back into form :P. Even in the NAB Cup we made them look like stars :scream.
I would love nothing better than shutting their phoney premiership window for good on Saturday Night as well as seeing their once cocky supporters walk out at the end to the tune of 'Oh We're from Tigerland' :thumbsup.
We owe them and this game is as much as test as the Dogs and Hawks. Roll over without even a whimper like we have in the past against the Saints and we'll spoil all the improvement we've made over the past 3 weeks.
Bring on Saturday night! :gotigers

I can't count the number of times we have played this roles for teams. The last time I can remember is a certain team that went on to win the 2007 premiership. As far as I am concerned it stops now. I am so sick of kick starting a teams season. Go somewhere else you pricks, RFC is closed for that sort of business.

:clapping
Well said Mighty.
For some reason I've been really hurt by our losses to the Saints this decade. Dunno if it's because of what Thomas said, which was true, but extremely arrogant, for a side that really hasn't fulfilled it's potential. Or it could just be that I hate getting flogged by ten goals which is the norm with us and them.
Either way, it's a great time for us to pounce on their misfortunes, lets rub their face in it too!
-
I have no problem with the Saints or the Dogs.
When was their last flag?
Feel sorry for them.
;)

Yeah I used to think that MCM but then the Saints have inflicted some horrible damage on the Tiges in the last few years, which to me puts them on the same pedestal as the successful clubs that we all hate, Carlscum, Essendung and Collingpoo.

i had an issue with them till thomas got the stuff. cant stand that prick.
saints yeah well u can out the cats in that category and i dont hate them.
in saying that id love to smash them. i love it how 3 weeks ago it was "here come the saints for the flag" hahaha makes me laugh what a bunch of pretenders.
saints supporters at the dome make a lot of noise but the bottom line is flags, thats what u play for and they have one..hahahahahaha
-
Would be so sweet to win this game.
Aints are getting desperate. I hope we rub there noses in it.
I think we can & will. 8)
-
Can't stand St Kilda and their cocky supporters and over rated players. Don't care what anyones says they are the most over rated team in Victoria, the most over rated in league is Freo
:pray :pray
I want a win.
To beat the Saints is almost as sweet as beating the Bombers.
-
The only thing I have ever been able to say at these games when they are heaping krap on us is 26 spoons 1 flag.
Enough of that, stops now. ish
Been saying for a while we don't have as bad a list a some(most) have been making out, just needed to find that mental switch above the shoulders and put it into the on position.
Was absolutely stoked with the Freo win, yeah Iv'e heard all the talk and don't care - not many if any teams will go over there and beat them by 10 goals as evidenced by the Geelong game.
Just a gut feel and evidenced by the last couple of weeks something has been triggered and we are on our way. Things wont happen overnight but they will happen.
I just have a different feeling going to the footy at the moment, a feeling I haven't had for too long. Win lose or draw I am going to have something to get excited and cheer about. We only have 2 points from the last 2 games but I have had a sore throat the next morning those 2 weeks. In the past I would not have.
We will do the saints Saturday, bet my ballz on it. :gotigers
Man I am really looking forward to the rest of this year. Bring on 2009 and beyond
-

It shut them up though lol. 1 flag in over 100 years wannabees.
The media are doing their best to put them under the pump all week so there'll be no excuses if we win on their home turf. I hope we stick it up 'em. It'll be sweet as :thumbsup.
Mind you there are still some who think St Kilda "will come good" like Gerard Healy tonight. Russell silenced him though by saying "we've been saying that for the past 8 years" lol.
-
On SEN they were saying Gehrig is in contention because of his good record against us.
Do it please Saints, those days are over if Gehrig comes in Thursy will towell him.
-
this is now a danger game, the saints have been belted from pillar to post in the media. typical in a week where they play us.
they will come out firing, so we have to kill any confidence they have by kiking a 10 goal to nothing 1st quarter
and while doint that, listen to sen and hear grany thomars try to explain that his aints are still a better team lol
-
the more i think about the saints the more i want to smash them.
a loss here is unnaceptable we should nail them to the wall this week.
i wouldn't rule out dud fiora playing this week either.
yep the g train and fiora in the side wouldnt surprise
-
This is one game i want to win big time.We haven't won against the Saints since Geez was a boy!
Nervous like you wouldn't believe.....Where's the Mylanta? :gotigers

Another good test for us. It's alright to do well when the media have written you off but it'll be interesting to see how we respond now when the opposition is put under the pump. In the past we've been slow to react at the start of the game and just rolled over even to poor sides. Like you say X we need to hurt their confidence from the first bounce (10 goal to nothing 1st qtr might be a touch optmistic though lol).
As for Thomas, he's already said this is the first time in years he's been nervous about the Saints' chances before a Richmond game. He's never rated or respected us but mind you we've done nothing to change that. About time Saturday night we draw that proverbial line in the sand.

funny thing about Grant is that he isnt really respected amongst his peers. :lol
-
what makes u say that. i cant stand him personally. him and dermie on sen are the 2 most biased people on radio at present.
thomas talks as if he is still at stkilda and dermie well the way he craps on about the hawks is pathetic
-
The last thing I want to do is on Saturday night have to listen to someone from the Bayside Suburbs which blonde bleached hair a pair of reading glasses light brown chinos a tartan rug a thermos of coffee a jacquard St Kilda scarf probably bought at Rebel Sport for $60 at Southland and a partner ie second or third marriage with a teenage stepchild most likely a girl talking amongst themselves that the Tiggers have played 2 finals series in 26 years because it was written in the season 2008 preview in The Age in March yet they are blissfully unaware that their pathetic mob have been the worst performed club in 111 because those morons who write in the paper still think this mythical thing called a premiership window is still in existence for them.
I cannot wait to fire up and cram my in your face home truths about the real pecking order in the football jungle and give these "new footy fans" if we can call them that something to really talk about with stunned workmates in the tea room on Monday morning shaking their heads. These guys are overrated in terms of talent and underrated in terms of apathy failure misappropriation lethargy and stupidity. Its a story that has been running for 111 years and its still going. Even in their success a kick off the side of the boot against a team that couldn't win a Grand Final if they ran out onto the ground 5 days before the opposition is something also a little forlorn. Its time to educate the ignorant and re educate the stupid who have forgotten their roots. A Richmond win will only add validity to my rant and instill fear in these 3 time a year football attendees.
:gotigers
-
lol. Agree whole heartedly. :thumbsup
-
We will do the saints Saturday, bet my ballz on it. :gotigers
Thats a risky bet! lol If the posters on this thread were playing on Saturday, theres no way we would lose! I hope the Tigers run out with the same confidence and passion.
This one is personal for me as well, been going to the Saints game for so long with Saints supporters and havent had anything to rub their noses in yet :gotigers :gotigers :gotigers
-
I just don't want Carlton to leap frog over us.
-
i dare say its all in the first 5 minutes.
ill know after that time if we have come to play...
-
Tell us what you really think of the Saints HT74 :rollin.

Yep first to the footy and play in front.
The umps were red hot tonight with frees in the Blues Eagles game especially 50m penalties. Geischen has obviously told them to crack down on frees this weekend ::) so we need to be hard at the footy yet disciplined as we have been the past 3 weeks.

We usually tend to give an indicator in the first 5 minutes - its not hard to tell if we're 'on' or not quite quickly. I'm typing this sitting in a train on my way to the airport - will be there with bells on tonight for my first game for the year - hanging out for it.
And you were dead right about the umps MT. Let Gehrig have a brain snap and give away a couple of 50mt goals - that'll be a good start!!
-

Thomas was on SEN this morning mocking Wallace over his Clarkson cluster comments (ie. being forced wide). Thomas said there's nothing new about the tactics and he did it at St Kilda where it was called a full press so where has Plough been.
-
i cant stand him i really can't.
i would love no more to smash those saints and shut idiots like thomas up
-
I am spewing we lost to those pr!cks!!!!!
We should have won, anyway not to worry. I thought Kel's goal was through until it did a huge leg break and hit the post.
Not to mention Browny's snap that also hit the post, and did i mention the mark that wasnt paid to Sarge in the 3rd qtr :banghead :banghead
And then that little prick Milne goes and kicks 7 goals, i could spew :chuck :chuck
Good effort by the Tigers though, we smashed them in the hard ball gets and really deserved to win. I suppose if we can play that type of footy and just fall short all year it will be a blessing in disguise with draft picks etc
-
We missed Polak
We were one big man short in forward line
Good effort by the boys, i thought we had it won twice in the last couple of minutes.
Pity jack didn't go for the torp.
:)
-
It was a great game, I was shattered, still am feeling a little blue....couldve done with Newmans huge kick going for that last shot at goal, but probably knowing our luck it woulve gone 80 metres out on the full :lol
-
na noot good enough. that game was ours and a stkilda team minus goose, reiwvoldt in the last term and we lose is not good enough.
newman has gone backwards this year and why the hell wasn't both he and kingy playing on milny.
its never worked for the rfc to play man on man with him so why not not play both on him. ross lyon won the coaching tactics last night...
these r the players who really need to step back to coburg.
newman
tuck
mcmahon
i would like some one on this forum to tell me that bowden is not a better footballer than mcmahon. give me a break

Neither are "good" players.

Bowden is alot better footballer than McMahon & has given us great service
many supporters tend to forget the effort he has given the club when his been playing on bigger opponants in a backline thats been missing KPP because the club wouldnot buy them
he won 2 back to back Best & fairest so thats telling you his in the top 5 players in the club
l'm stuffing tired of people saying Bowden is crap & finished
l bet he would have kicked that goal Rewoldt & Moore missed last night
we need players like Bowden in the forwardline cause we are not winning with the present

Time will tell.
We certainly needed someone extra down forward last night.
:thumbsup

PS I was just taking the pee out of daniel.
:shh
-
l'm also stuffing tired of people bagging Tuck
his in the side for protecting the midfielders & putting his body on the line
His always on the bottom of packs & doing the hard work while the midfielders are waiting the easy ball
He may not be fast as others but his doing his job & allowed a few mistakes from the hard knocks he takes every week
most teams try take his head off most games cause they know his value in protecting the midfielders
some supporters here just dont know thier football to well
-

:thumbsup fair call
l not just going off your post
l'm going off many posts from many over the year its not the 1st time l brought this up
l value Bowden & Tuck as good footballers who other teams would grab tomorrow if put up for trade
if they were put up for trade come years end, l bet they get a call from every club

What annoys me about tuck is his capacity for turning over the footy or poor disposal in general.
-
Tucks handball in the third quarter in the middle of the ground was nearly the worse thing I have seen in a long long time

Thomas is 100% correct.
All teams do something similiar to what the Hawks are currently doing.
The tiges usually have a 10 man version and have had for the past 3 years :shh

sorry monk, we cant afford to have both tuck and sugar in our team
tuck has been as bad as newman over the past 3 weeks

That is the truth TM. And while you are on the subject, lets chuck Tambling and Hyde into that mix. Tambling has impressed the hell out of me this year with his increased attack on the ball and willingness to get in and under yet gets lambasted in here because he doesn't display the attributes expected by the popular perception - an outside receiving, quick running link man. And Hyde has done a couple of terrific shutdown jobs in the last couple of weeks yet the boring calls for him to be the scapegoat and first dropped because he hasn't had the 25+ disposals expected of a midfielder is not fair and way off beam, just as is the criticism of Tuck.
-
Would think that Richard Tambling even though he has been servicable and tries extremely hard, isnt going to be a "' standout star "
Would beleive that Morton who went pick 44 (father and son ) in the same draft would be just as good as him as this stage.
Really impressed with Mitch.

Have to be careful with the swear filter "taking the pee" sounds distinctly gay.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. (who said that?)
