As impressive as that performance was it will mean stuff all if we can't beat the aints next week in front of 75-80k and blow our top 4 chance finishing 6th.
Could go further into the finals finishing 6th as opposed to 4th  :shh

All jokes aside if we don't win by 6 goals we're not doing anything come finals time.

freo got out of the blocks and bought a high pressure brand to stsrt with. But that was where it stopped it really was like playing against witches hats after q time..

We have all seen what happens when sides play high pressure for 4 quarters against us we invariably lose. St Klda did that what 6 7 weeks ago be interesting to see how next week unfolds.

Something tells me our boys will be much better prepared this time mentally. They know what's at stake and what can happen if they're caught napping.

I would have thought most sides struggle to win if the opposition puts in 4 quarters of pressure.....

And yet we were those witches hats against the Saints. It will be interesting to see how the SAINTS go when we dish up the type of pressure we not only produced against Freo for 3 qtrs but against the Hawks and GWS a few weeks ago Claw.
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Pizza shop doing well - pizza and footy is a great combination .Definitely not getting any lip from my regular customers who gave it to me after round 8.  They have been remarkably quiet for months.
