Richmond Rant / Re: Tigers to Tassie
« Last post by Francois Jackson on Yesterday at 10:20:28 PM »are they going to or could they add another marvel game to us as an away game?
if we play one less game at that place then i guess its okay. Trip down south is always good.
Still not happy the club couldn't balance the books, and trades earlier to avoid this mess. They have completely stuffed that part of it up.

Also how exactly is it a wild card round, if the format is the exact same as a ‘finals game’? Atleast with the NBA the wild card round is a best of 3 with the winners entering the best of 7 playoff tournament.

I reckon the best way to get footy played on the bye week is to scrap the bye. Seems to me that the AFL are reluctant to back flip on the bye weekend, which is deeply unpopular, and this is a way they can avoid it. Same with stand rule. I also love my American sports, but I also love our sport because it’s not American and it feels like we are very much headed down that path.
Agree 100%

I'm not sure why people keep saying it is replacing "one of our Marvel games"
We have only had 1 Marve home game per season for over 5 years now
This deal replaces our 1 Marvel home game.

As long as the money goes solely to the redevelopment then I've changed my view. No issue with this decision

Bollocks.
I love the idea
Reckon it’s fantastic
Big advantage for 5th and 6th which is a good thing
Means there is some football during the bye week as well which is great
Also gives two more teams a crack at it
And another advantage is lowers the amount of games where neither team has anything to play for in the last couple of rounds
It’s worked well in the NBA with their play in tournament

« Last post by WilliamPowell on Yesterday at 09:15:38 PM »On Ch7 news tonight Xander McGuire said it was 1 game a season for the next 2 seasons. $1mil for each game. Said it would replace our 1 Marvel home game. We keep our 10 MCG home games
From Mitch Cleary X
It will be a big financial boost for Richmond - moving their Marvel ‘home’ match to Hobart. They’re also expected to retain their 10x MCG home matches.
This year’s Marvel crowd of 18,423 v Gold Coast was the Tigers’ lowest ‘home’ attendance in Vic since 2003 (outside of COVID)
