Round 6: Geelong vs Richmond [merged]

[Ramps]

Nice of the AFL to make Geelong our "rivals" in rivalry round. Apart from 1967 since when did we have a rivalry with the Cats  ???.

its what happens when youve been poo for 30 years

[eliminator]

I apologize for the poor English. Unfortunately I have many bad memories at that ground and not many good ones. Geelong have had the wood on us for a long time. No one can forget that thrashing they gave us in 1989.

[RollsRoyce]

It will be a miracle if we win. Expect the worse hope for the best. Kadina Park is dump and has not been a happy hunting ground for us

we played quite well there last year

Yes we did. But we were denied any chance of a win by the whistle-blowing maggots pandering endlessly to the sleepy hollow ferals. And that scenario will never change. Why does the $#%**!! AFL send us down to that friggin' DUMP every year??

Its just BS, we have NO rivalry with Geelong.  I don't give a fat rats whether we are going good bad or indifferent the concept is a failure.  Geelong...wtf...what MORON in the AFL fixtured that as our rival, prick needs a bullet.

GARY Ablett has set the scene for a ferocious Geelong performance after questioning the Cats' hunger in Monday's loss to Carlton.

 The premiers will seek retribution against a winless Richmond, which looms as a sitting duck at Skilled Stadium on Sunday.

Need Will back in because our back line is going to be given one hell of a workout by Geelong.

They've been a little nicer to us this week in the match preview.

WHO WILL WIN AND WHY
Geelong might be in the unfamiliar situation of not being in the top four, but they're still a cracking team. The Tigers are looking better than they did early on, but they're still last on the AFL ladder.

PREDICTION
Geelong by 50 points

From BF:

Just a few pointers for those going to Geelong on Sunday

- if you decide not to use the car park, watch where you park, if you don't park correctly you WILL be booked, the council made a seven figure amount in parking fine revenue last year, beware of fire plugs (one metre) that's one of their favourites, they love booking non-locals because they won't bother coming all the way back to Geelong to contest the fine. So make sure you triple check where you have parked.

- avoid Melbourne Road on the return journey, repairs are being done on the railway bridge near the Ford factory and Melbourne bound traffic is reduced to two lanes at 40 kph. My suggestion is try using Ballarat Road (turn right just after the LaTrobe Tce bridge) to the ring road. Ballarat Rd is dual carraigeway right up to the ring road on-ramp.

just take the geelong ring rd and go all the way to the end and exit at waurn ponds/grovedale

from there Kardinia park is only 3 minutes away max!

Yeah it's pretty funny.

lol indifference round.
They scheduled us to Geelong as a reward for winning the GF last year.  They see us as a high crowd drawing easy beat patsy.

I'm off - Wish all us suckers minimal pain
