Bogey side, we won't win.
-
Well blow me down!
Anyone would have looked at the fixture at the start of the season, worked their way down to round 23 and scratched their head in disbelief as we were scheduled to play a home game against Norf at their home ground Etihad.
In fact my first thought was: what's the bet our season or theirs could depend on that game :shh
Fast forward to 4 weeks left in the season and guess what? We will be in a position where if that game doesn't decide our finishing position it could we'll decide if we play finals or not.
Have not beaten this team since 2011, I think it is time to put the past behind us.
So will the real RFC please stand up :gotigers

What's worse than that is hypothetically beating them in rd 23 only to play and lose to them in the first week of finals at our home ground...
So unbelievable it's almost richmond like :shh
-
1pt up and 30 secs to go in the last quarter of the final and Bachar decides to play on from the kick of after North go man on man, Bachar trips and the ball bounces up into Harvey's hands who leaps over Bachar and runs into the open goal and drills it......now that's Richmond!

I wonder if supporters/members will be locked out because not everyone will be able to fit in? It's happened before to our supporters at Etihad. It'll be one way to embarrass the AFL to not schedule our home games at Etihad :thumbsdown.
-
I suggest that as many go as possible
Forget about the venue
Players and club need the support
Would be great to have 45,000 very loud Tiger supporters there
-
I say bring it. Let's put the past behind us. Etihad hasn't really been a fortress for them this year. Hawthorn and port did a number on them and with our best 22 on the park we should best them comfortably this friday then spank them a week after that

Exactly the reason I'd suggest people who don't have them as part of the membership book one and that's a reserved seat
Unfortunately all MCG home teams have to play at least 1 game at Etihad. We are pretty luck we've only got the one... don't agree with it but it's been in place for a long time..only way to change it is for Tiger members to turn up
What we need to do is turn up and make it a lock out.... only 35k-40k turn up then it won't help our cause/argument that we shouldn't be scheduled there
-
Friday Night will be huge
-
We either win or cop a pantsing from the Crows in Adelaide the next week. Most important game for the year

I would be leaving out Deledio, Miles, Cotchin as well as Ivan Maric. Go into the finals with important players having had a rest.

Mark Stevens on Ch 7 news says North are planning to rest players this week against us. Todd Goldstein may be one of them as he's apparently sore.

Sounds like they want to avoid playing the Dogs or Crows and think we're the easier opponent in the finals. I hope they do tank Friday night. Nothing better than getting the chance to break the hoodoo and knock these pretenders out of the finals at the 'G at the same time.

North Melbourne to consider resting senior players before finals
Herald-Sun
September 1, 2015
NORTH Melbourne will consider resting a group of core senior players against Richmond on Friday night to freshen them for the finals.
The Kangaroos will make a decision at match committee later in the week whether to leave out players who are sore and or fatigued.
Included in the group of sore players is Brownlow Medal contender Todd Goldstein, who has played every game this season.
Goldstein copped a nasty knock to the hip in the loss to the Western Bulldogs last weekend.
Others who could be rested include Jarrad Waite, Drew Petrie, Brent Harvey, Andrew Swallow and Nick Dal Santo.
AFL Rule 29 was altered in 2013 to include a requirement for teams to “perform on one’s merits”, which is defined as meaning “at all times to perform honestly and to the best of one’s ability in the pursuit only of legitimate competitive objectives”.
“For the avoidance of doubt ‘legitimate competitive objective’ includes the development of the team or players or management of player fatigue or injuries but does not include improving a club’s draft position, improving a club’s position with respect to a potential player exchange or manipulating a club’s position on the ladder for the purpose of improving its draw within the finals series,” it reads.
While Fremantle has been given permission to rest 11 players, a similar request from North could be a different proposition given the ramifications for finals positions.
A North loss on Friday night would mean it would avoid a dreaded possible away final against red-hot Adelaide.
A loss would guarantee the Kangas take on either Richmond or Western Bulldogs, most likely at the MCG.
The home final is a more appealing outcome for the Roos, who have won six of their past seven games against the Tigers.
The Kangas have lost their only two games to Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval.
The North coaching staff have not yet made a decision on their senior selection for this week but are closely monitoring their players’ fitness.

-
The crows would destroy North in Adelaide .
-
The clubs a joke, look who they want to rest lol
Aside from Goldstien every player is over 30.
We should be thrashing these guys with or without them, it's a retirement village at Arden street these days!
-
Meeting Adelaide right now is problematic for everyone, they are playing on high emotion which is driving them. I hope we play Norf in week 1 of the finals. We will beat them and Harvey will be sad but who gives a stuff ;D
-
Do members need a reserve ticket?
At this stage members without a reserved seat will be able to scan to gain access. We still encourage members to upgrade to a reserved seat to get the best possible seat.

stuffn oath Louie.
That's the attitude to have, not thinking WE should do the same.
They ain't that good.
-
I just hope Harvey and Petrie dont have a field day always do against us dimma needs to do this first shut them down, can't stand this brothel of a club about time we let them know there a club that rattles tins.
-
Suspect Morris will be brought in for a tagging role on Harvey or Thomas at the expense of Lloyd. Agree need to eliminate Petrie.
-
We need to play Soldo.
Tell him his job is to be as rough and tough as humanly possible.
Crunch every north player into oblivion.
-
Part one this Friday night is the orderve.
The main meal is next week. On the menu. Roadkill. Dead roo.
I'm just happy if we just beat them twice in the next two weeks.
Beat them up badly next week preferably but I'm sure against this vermin we'll take the win any way
we can get it. Get The codgers into rebuild mode for the next millenium. ;D

Match preview: Tigers v Kangaroos
Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
September 2, 2015 1:20 PM
SUMMARY
The Tigers are motoring along nicely, having lost just one game since round 18. They weren't at their best against Essendon on Saturday night but still managed to triumph in wet conditions without their skipper Trent Cotchin, who should return from a back injury this week. After Geelong's loss to Collingwood last Friday night locked the top eight, the Kangaroos can't slip out of the finals and could move as high as fifth with a big win over the Tigers and if other results involving the Western Bulldogs and Adelaide go their way. They lost to the Dogs on Saturday but had won seven straight games before that.
WHERE AND WHEN: Etihad Stadium, Friday September 4, 7.50pm AEST
LAST FIVE TIMES
R6, 2015, North Melbourne 16.13 (109) d Richmond 10.14 (74) at Blundstone Arena
R12, 2014, North Melbourne 17.14 (116) d Richmond 13.10 (88) at Etihad Stadium
R15, 2013, North Melbourne 19.14 (128) d Richmond 8.18 (66) at Etihad Stadium
R17, 2012, North Melbourne 15.13 (103) d Richmond 14.15 (99) at the MCG
R24, 2011, North Melbourne 15.14 (104) d Richmond 13.13 (91) at Etihad Stadium
THE SIX POINTS
1. Lindsay Thomas is a chance to return this week, which will be a boost for the Roos after he was the difference between the sides in round six with five goals.
2. It was a telling third quarter in that game. North set up the win with seven goals to one, despite Richmond amassing more disposals and inside 50s with turnovers hurting the Tigers badly.
3. Both sides have struggled in clearances in 2015; the Kangaroos are 12th with an average of 38.8 per game while the Tigers are 15th with 36.2.
4. This will be the first Friday night clash between the teams since 2003. They've faced off 11 times at Etihad Stadium with the Kangaroos winning eight of those games.
5. It could be a busy night for the umpires, given these are the top two ranked sides for free kicks for; Richmond is first with an average of 22.2 ahead of North with 20 per game.
6. It's no surprise Todd Goldstein is rated the No.1 ruckman in the competition but he's also the Kangaroos' top player in the Official AFL Player Ratings, and fourth overall in the competition.
IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR …
Ben Cunnington. With the midfield beaten by the Bulldogs last week, the Kangaroos need to respond, especially Cunnington, who was tagged out of the contest by Liam Picken and kept to 13 possessions.
PREDICTION: Richmond by 10 points

Wow. :gobdrop By the complaints on this forum I thought we were mostly hated by the umps.
-
Lindsay Thomas, what an absolute grub. Of course he will make a return against us. He didn't even earn his goals last time. They were from free kicks and at least one was from a down field kick paid to someone else. Can't stand that prick.
-
Bring my A game yelling voice :shh
-
Players who will no doubt play there best game in 12 months in the final irrespective of whether they are being rested this week:-
Harvey:- 34 touches and 3 goals
Petrie:- 4 goals 1 and 6 contested marks
Thomas:- 25 touches and 3 goals 1. +4 free kicks inside 50.
Thompson:- will own his key defensive post as Vickery attempts to run to the back of contests looking for cheap goals.
Swallow:- 38 possessions including 12 clearances. Nobody to consider a tag.

I hate how much this team gets up and about when they play us. Seem to play super offensive & it always comes off.
Need to smother them if we play them in the finals. Not let them breath.
If grigg has more than 10 hitouts we will win the game!

Dea, Morris Astbury training with main group
-
North could rest up to 10 players as per AFL website.
Puts us in an interesting position. Really want to avoid playing Adelaide IMO. I think we should just slaughter their 'B' team as a warmup for finals

with a good chance of playing norf 2 weeks in a row, and norf resting players

Needless to say I am now unable to confidently decide on a recommended approach to Friday nights game.
It was quite surreal.

5v8 is always on a Sunday isn't it? That's a decent break.

North ain't the type of club who can rest players and then be a1 next week.
Thay ain't that good.

Replacement Roos can 'maim' Tigers: Carey
AFL.com.au
September 3, 2015
WAYNE Carey says North Melbourne players called up to face Richmond could physically target their Tigers opponents in round 23, ahead of a likely elimination final rematch the following week.
The Roos have indicated they are likely to rest up to 10 players from this Friday night's clash to give themselves the best chance of entering finals in top shape.
While a loss would ensure North plays an elimination final against Richmond in Melbourne, coach Brad Scott has stressed that his side will be playing to win against the Tigers.
However, North Melbourne great Carey also raised the possibility that the Roos' replacement players could seek to give their side an advantage for an elimination final rematch by roughing up their opponents.
"The Kangaroos now can put in 8-10 players that are not going to play finals footy. They can go out and maim Richmond players," Carey said on AFL.com.au's Pick A Winner.
"They can go hard, they can be told by Brad Scott 'Go out there, hit this side as hard as you can, because it looks like we'll be playing them again next week'.
"I think the AFL really opened up a can of worms here and watch this space."
Carey said the Roos resting players was "a completely different situation" to minor premiers Fremantle sparing up to 11 regular players a final round trip to face Port Adelaide, because the Dockers-Power clash won't affect finals positions.
"Whereas I think this does manipulate where the Kangaroos and obviously the Tigers and Adelaide (finish), so it does have some bearing on the finals," Carey said.
"This rule has to change, because now the one game that had something riding on it all of a sudden has been manipulated by resting players."

Brayshaw has been peeing me off all week on the radio saying how big this game is going to be, get your reserved seat because it's going to be massive etc. Even Billy had to pipe in with "but how many kangas? Do you guys travel well." Give it up Brayshaw. It's nothing to do with your pathetic mob of tin rattling gypsies.

Time to kick heads in. Get on the front foot and send a warning to any team who wants to play

Prior history and game styles
nmfc.com.au
September 3, 2015
North will face a different Tigers side to the one it defeated at Blundstone Arena back in May.
On that afternoon, the Kangaroos kicked 14 of their 16 goals from opposition turnovers. It appeared to be the catalyst for Richmond to tighten up its method of play.
The ball movement became more considered for Richmond, the disposal distance shorter and the tempo of a match largely ruled by their own doing.
In the two sides’ first meeting, the Tigers went long with almost 39 per cent of their kicks, approximately their season average to that point. Since then the number has dropped to less than 34, a substantial decrease.
In the first six rounds of the season, Richmond averaged two more minutes in possession than opponents. From Round 7 onwards, the number has more than doubled to 4:06.
Sides have been able to enjoy success against North in the past through holding possession and controlling the tempo of the match. In that respect, it’s almost a perfect tune up for the Kangaroos, able to test themselves against a challenging game style right on the eve of a finals appearance.

It'll be interesting how we play tonight tactically.
I thought during the Collingwood game that we were setting up differently defensively as team. We're usually a team that presses up on the opposition. However, against the Pies, we stayed back and defended from our back half. Once we gained possession, we then counter-attacked at pace into an open forward line. It was more like how North plays against us, where we would bombard our F50 but continually get sucker-punched on the rebound :banghead. I wondered after the Collingwood game, if we were practising this 'stay back' team defence in readiness to use North's gameplan against themselves tonight. But now, with the chance to play North two weeks in a row and with them resting a heap of players, I wonder if we'll try to win tonight without showing our cards and hold off the 'stay back' defence until the Elimination Final.
-
Dimma has a plan B :clapping
-
I'm starting to get quite excited for next week!!!
Dimma has done well to make sure the boys feed on who ever is in front of us each week.
I have to say when you play with fire you get burnt, said that a bit this week.
But North are doing us one big favour tonight by giving us a bit of an edge. North have had an extremely good run against us and you would expect for a club to go into a final with that form. Fortunately for us we are going to break that hoodoo and smash the Kangas tonight, not only smash but rip their hearts out.
How, because when next week comes and we beat them again they will use the smashing this week as an excuse.
I will be there tonight, and if any North supporter annoys me, I will be calling them soft and too shut up.
After we smash em tonight lets get on the gold coast bandwagon, that will make things interesting.

RICHMOND v NORTH MELBOURNE
(http://s.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL%20Tenant/TigervNorth223.jpg)
Hot:
Ty Vickery has been Richmond's top-scoring player in the last month with 18.6 points per game - ranked 10th in the competition.
Drew Petrie has averaged 17.1 points per game against Richmond since 2010 - his best against any club.
Not:

Need to go out and get stuck into the goals, be up at half time by 60 and then rest the stars!!!!
-
That'll be the ideal scenario, WAT. However, we are playing North :-\.
Main thing is we get through without injuries (touchwood) :pray.
-
Lennon crumb and snap misses.
1 - 0
-
Cotch almost had his head pulled off and no free ::).
-
Awesome kick by Lids to Dusty. Goes towards TV but it's off his hands for a point.
2 - 1
-
That's why we got rid of you Robbie.
-
Gee we are peeing around. Honestly..
-
Umps wearing the right colours tonight with their decisions so far. Only missing the vertical whites stripes ::).
50m and goal to North :banghead,
2 - 7
-
Gee we are peeing around. Honestly..
Why do we bring our worst footy when we play North :P.
Grigg misses as well.
Tackles: 6 - 16
3 - 7
-
They are working harder. Back to the sucker punch counter attack goals :banghead.
-
We look second rate ........upset looming, our forward line is not functioning
-
Lennon (we finally get a free) to Dusty. Kick to pocket to Jack is 1-vs-3. Throw-in. Jack snap on the boundary actually gets to Lennon's hands but it's spilt for another point.
4 - 13
-
We look second rate ........upset looming, our forward line is not functioning
Too slow transitioning the ball. Playing into North's usual flooding tactic.
-
Too fumbly as well so far :scream. Mentally not switched on.

That was very hard work.

North errant kick and fumble in defence and Ellis makes them pay :gotigers.

McIntosh ran past Vickery instead of waiting behind for the handball.
Where's the manning up, Tiges?
-
:banghead :banghead wtf
-
Was that a tackle? Lack of awareness by Macca and talk from his teammates.
-
Tell you what, if this is what we dish up against them next week we would be 30 down by now?
-
Seriously. :banghead :banghead :banghead
Are we the biggest bunch of idiots in the AFL?
The egg is alive and well and the shell is cracking. :banghead
Bloody unbelievable!
-
WAKE UP!
-
Quarter time
Richmond 1.4-10
North Melb. 2.3-15
Goal: Ellis
That last forward entry summed up our first quarter. Had a 2-on-1 advantage 20m out and we stuffed it up :banghead.
-
Pathetic qtr Richmond, really, this is exactly what they want, they are really softening us up for next week. If we keep playing their game we will be stuffed at the end. :banghead
-
Oh dear I have to laugh at these comments , why worry about this week worry about next
-
Jeeeeeeeeezuz
-
Maybe we are dropping this game to avoid n0rf next week? :rollin
-
Oh dear I have to laugh at these comments , why worry about this week worry about next
Happy for us to play asleep and win, Ramps. But we'll this and end up heading to Adelaide if we dish up 3 more quarters of that crap.
-

:laugh:

No holding the ball rule against North tonight! :whistle

It's pretty soft when you look inside

Oh dear, yes let's take this poo into next week...
-
Are our players for real or what???
-
Yep, no holding the ball against North tonight ::).
Ivannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn :gotigers. That was hard work. Great effort by Jack to spoil against 3 defenders.

-
About bloody time ffs.
-
Gee they are carving us up on the rebound.
-
Really - getting beaten by Norfs seconds???!! Cmon Tiges
-
How could we not get a contest and kill that high ball?! :banghead
-
F O Barchelor u massive spud
-
We're not in this at all....reminds me of the Crows game, we are just hanging in there.
-
F O Barchelor u massive spud
Go say that on the Batch thread and you will be shot at dawn...
-
REALLY
-
Not surprised to be honest. Their 2nd tier players are more hungry. Gaurantee if it was tougher opposition we would rise to the occasion.
-
I ask again - why do we always dish up this dumb lazy soft crap against North?! :banghead
-
Gee our team is mentally pee week!
-
Totally agree, we are no where near it at the moment and we will lose the first final hands down at this rate.
-
North have been scragging all night. About time we got one. Cotch from 50 goes to the line. Lids take a two-grabber. Review calls it touched.
19 - 28
-
I ask again - why do we always dish up this dumb lazy soft crap against North?! :banghead
yep. Let down in our forward 50
-
Where the stuffen hell is Riewoldt. Bloody useless
-
Half-time
Richmond 1.4 2.7-19
North Melb. 2.3 4.5-29
Goals: Ellis, Maric.
One word - shocking! :scream
-
When we have the ball 60-70m out, North are leaving the whole top of the 50 arc wide open. Instead we bomb it long to Jack or Vickery outnumbered with no crumbers front and square and North clear easily through the corridor they've left open :banghead.
-
We should have rested guys. They might have been a little more desperate.
-
Simple case of between the ears, we want to win but expect to win given North rested so many players. North on the other hand not expected to win so fringe players come in and bust a gut knowing its most likely going to be their last game. This scenario is a classic loss loss for the RFC and one that if they can get over mentally then it will be a good boost for next week. If we lose then i think we are shot mentally and next week is basically a loss before we start. The worry for me is inside our forward 50, looks absolutely useless, Ty is having one of his shockers and with Jack being triple teamed we have very little left. In addition their run and carry out of 50 is the old slingshot where we seem to get caught every time. I think Newman (assuming he is playing) needs to be made sub as soon as possible and bring Lloyd on to at least get some of the loose ball inside 50.

In defence of our forwards, the movement of the ball is too slow and worst of all predictable. Always down the line and then long high bombs deep where North is playing a spare man in defence. Need to switch the play, get some overlap going and find other forward hit-up targets 30-35m out so North defenders can't freely peel off onto Jack and TV.

Playing like a bunch of soft-cock pussies.....
I think all teams know how to bully the pansy of the AFL comp. :help
-
Vickery is not having a shocker, our ball movement is so slow that they are getting numbers back and playing two on one with the forwards, they are doing the same with Deledio and Jack. We need to spread more and get the ball in quicker and we need to plonk Ivan at FF, have Jack and Lids drag their backs out to,open it up and have Vicks in the ruck. If we keep bombing the ball in like we have been doing all night, it's over.
-
Yep we didn't need that, just like the Crows game....stuff this pee ant team.
-
::) what else is on TV? :banghead
-
19 points to halftime.
What a bloody joke of a club. :banghead
-
Well that summed up our night. Ivan taps it backwards and Grigg and Lambert run into each other, allowing North to get the easy clearance for a goal :banghead.
-
Harvey will come on soon and pick up 90 possessions...

Dusty long bomb. Ball spills to Newy and his snaps it through :gotigers.

See what happens when we move the ball quicker.. :whistle
-
Hopefully this means we've woken up.
Clear clearance ends up with Jack 50 out. Misses.
38 - 35
-
We always look for them but this is where the leaders need to involve themselves in the game, Cotch hasn't done much and that follows on from not doing much last week. Seems to be at a bit of a low point in his season. Lids pretty quiet, Sheds a bit off since injury and Jack blanketed its relying on too few to pull us through this. Unfortunately we aren't in a position to be carrying passengers, imagine if we rested 9 players and came up against a full strength North team, i bet we wouldn't be closer than 100pts at the full time siren.
-
That's all we need- Dusty picking up an ankle injury :P
-
Great transition Tiges. Titch to Jack to Lids ... GOAL! :gotigers
Last 4 goals to us.

Because he knows he can still win it, Harvey can turn this game.

Ump in blue stands in the space ::).

Hunt you idiot :banghead

Ffs Lids Jack was all on his own.... :help :banghead

Surely they knew it was only seconds to go. Why didn't anyone tell Titch to take the shot even from 50?

One thing I have been disappointed in tonight is I think we have been soft tonight. We needed to target a few of there players and haven't done it.

Need to get Dusty, Lids, Martin and Tich off.

Every time i see brad scotts face..... :boxer

North Melbourne disrespected our club and Hardwick should use it during next week. North think they can beat us whenever they want that's why they rested there players. We play well next week and we will win. Of that I have no doubt. We are better than them.

If Hardwick is serious there should be no fairytale for Newy next week. He looked completely cooked

Brett Deledio is up to 14 score involvements which is the second most recorded by a Tiger this season. Deledio recorded 15 score involvements v the Saints in round 16.
Ivan Maric has won a game-high 12 hitouts-to-advantage with four of them launching scores for the Tigers.

Very good as always to get a win but gee that first half was very concerning, we looked flat and not in it at all, even Hardwick said that..
I think the main reason we kicked away is because the players coming in for North were underdone at that level...will not be the same next week.

Yep :thumbsdown

Turner got what was coming too him. He was lights out & copped 2 big hits in the head during the game. :snidegrin
Norf are in trouble if the think the likes of Waite & co are going to trouble us. Our players were not going hard in the first half.

Who really won Friday night?
Richmond take points in Round 23 but North set to bring back big guns after resting stars
Herald-Sun
September 5, 2015
RICHMOND won the clash, ensuring they will almost certainly get an MCG final next week, but were they the real winner in Friday night football?
The Tigers trailed at half-time and took until late in the third term before shaking off North Melbourne’s persistent second-string side, which controversially was allowed to rest almost half its regular line-up ahead of an elimination final next weekend.
Eventually, the Tigers’ class prevailed, the likes of Brett Deledio and Dustin Martin proving the difference as Damien Hardwick’s side ran away to win by 41 points.
Richmond had little motivation except the need to win to avoid a possible trip to Adelaide, and appeared to struggle early as the Kangas took it right up to them.
But as North threatened to skip away, Richmond responded.
North Melbourne had little to gain from the match, but coach Brad Scott hit out after the game at any critics who suggested his side wasn’t trying to win the match.
The result likely means the two teams will now almost certainly clash in an elimination final at the MCG on Sunday.
But just what either side learned from Friday night’s clash is debatable. Fans of both teams will this week be spruiking their team’s chances, confident they enjoyed the perfect hit-out and one could mount a case for each club.
Richmond, with little to play for, eventually put its foot down and next week will return to its more preferable MCG, with a very similar line-up.
The rested North Melbourne group will inject a heap of class back into its side and, after its promising first half can be confident of matching it with the Tigers. Before last night, the Kangas had beaten Richmond in its previous five encounters.

Loved little Brad getting all riled up about the sledges about his club throwing the match.
The players didn't Brad but yourself and the selectors certainly did, again manipulating a games outcome for an advantage.
and no one should have to apologise to your tin pot of a club.
Your time is nigh.

See ya Norf ...pee club

Big guns = Firrito
I'm scared.......... :shh
