1. Winner and margin? Richmond by 1

2. Best 3 Tigers? Foley, Moore, McMahon (it worked last week lol)

3. Talking point from the game? Tigers finally collect a big scalp

6. How many possessions, marks and goals will Richo end up with? 18 possies, 14 marks, 3 goals

1. Winner and margin?  Yellow and Black by 10 points. Just an interesting stat I came up with. If we play Sydney in an Olympic year and we play them in Sydney before the Olympics we win.
1984 played them  before the Games won by 7
1988 played them  before the Olympics won by 35
1992 played them rd 22 in the week leading up to the Games won by 30
2000 played them in April won by 6 pts
2004 played them in May Games were in August won by 13.
Only exception was 1996 and we played them after the Atlanta games and Plugger kicked 12 and we lost by 48 points.

2. Best 3 Tigers?  Richo Foley Browny

3. Talking point from the game?  Richo leaves duel Brownlow Medallist Goodes in his wake.

4. Plough's aftermatch comment? Our indicators on the game showed that we had to match the Swans on effort and intencity and the result more than indicates this.

5. Crowd?  26 895

6. How many possessions, marks and goals will Richo end up with?  26 possessions

19 kicks 14 marks 7 handballs 4 goals 1 behind

What a bizzare yet fascinating stat!  And I was at the SCG the day Plugger kicked 12 - it was a crap match for the yellow and black.
