Non-Richmond games 2011

[mightytiges]

LOL Carlton dominate first 5-10 mins but kick 5 straight points before Essendon runs it up once for a goal. That's footy!

[mightytiges]

Make that 3 goals to the Bombers. The Blues have got the finals wobblies again

They've seemed to of found there kicking boots since the 5 straight points.

haha did anyone see the sign in the carlton cheer sqaud. Eddie Betts but Wallis shouldnt.   

[Jackstar is back again]

The loss of Dean Wallis has made a big impact on the Bombers

[Francois Jackson]

you know what you cant wipe the smile off my face seeing the Bombers get pumped.

They deserve every bit of this smacking.

Only downside is that it was delivered by the Blues.

What is poor lloyd going to say now. hahahaha

Thanks Bombers....

Due to your insipid performance today, the AFL will decide to "trim the fat" next year and go back to the traditional final 5.

True to form Richmond will now finish 6th in 2012.

Even so I would take 6th next year.
Even with a top 8 you need to finish top 4 to win the flag.
6th would be the next step towards a flag.

i very much doubt that's going to happen Matt, especially with 2 extra teams

Yep I can't see the AFL ever making it less then 8 again. If anything I can see them extending it to top 10 just to make more money.

[mightytiges]

With a record 90k turning up for an elimination final and probably a total attendance record for the whole weekend, no way will the AFL trim a top 8. Money talks!

As for the Bombers - they were lucky to sneak into the finals in the first place so it's a repeat of 2009 with them being flogged and knocked out immediately. If GWS poaches Hurley in 12 months time it's hard to see them progressing any higher in the medium-term. It's hard to find any A-grade matchwinners in their line-up and their midfield is slow and their backline wasn't much better and also lacked size. I mean if a dud like Thorton takes 10 contested marks then you know something is wrong.

As good as Carlton were yesterday I'm hoping the Eagles will knock them out in Perth next week  .

[Tigermonk]

Bombers smashed & next week the Blues will get belted out of state & alot of blues supporters will fly home broke  that will be 2 scum teams out 

[tiger101]

Carltons confidence would be very high after that big win.
But unlike yesterday Thorton and others aren't going to be able to have the field day like they did against bombers(they was walking the goals in by the end of it) and there backs are going to need to be more accountable because the Eagles forward line are alot bigger and stronger.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I hope the interstate teams win next week.

True tiger101 and the Eagles confidence will still be high as well after pushing the Pies all the way at the 'G. They should also have Kerr back too in the midfield.

[gerkin greg]

Kerr & Cox will both play
