Tigers vs Demons game thread

[one-eyed]

The AFL site is tipping Melbourne to win by 13 points...


SUMMARY
The final game of the round also looms as an intriguing contest.

Although neither Melbourne nor Richmond will feature in finals action, both will be keen to finish off the year on a high and carry that confidence into their preparations for season 2012.

Melbourne's horror month has been well documented but despite losing to West Coast on Sunday, the Demons showed great endeavour and were only let down by their poor skill execution.

The Tigers will head into Sunday's twilight clash full of confidence after they broke a six-game losing streak with a 43-point win over the Sydney Swans.

Trent Cotchin, Bachar Houli and Brett Deledio were all in fine form and will need to fire again this week.

The midfield battle between these two young sides will be an intriguing contest but if Melbourne are to win, they will need a lift from some of their more senior players in Brent Moloney, Brad Green and Colin Sylvia.

QUESTION MARKS
Can Todd Viney notch up his first win as caretaker coach? Melbourne defender James Frawley says Viney has had a positive influence on the players and they are keen to repay him with wins in the final three rounds.

Can Jack Reiwoldt keep his Coleman medal hopes alive? The Richmond forward has 56 goals to his name this season and currently sits second behind Hawthorn star Lance Franklin (62) on the leaderboard. Franklin kicked eight goals last week putting some distance between the two, and Riewoldt will need to reply this week if he wants to walk away with back-to-back Coleman medals.

PREDICTION
Melbourne by 13 points

Reckon we'll beat them. Post and Dea will start getting comfortable in defence. Hope Webberley and Conca come in for Farmer and Batchelor(inj)

I know most of you guys hate this match time but it gives us a chance to come to the game for a change. YAYYY. Last game we got to go to was the dreamtime game so maybe we are good luck.  Cant wait

We need to win this and crush these ponces (and remind Scully why he is wants to be a tiger LOL).

[tiger101]

If we play like we did in the last quarter against the Swans. We'll beat them.

Ditto.
Weather will be fine on the weekend so I am sure we'll outnumber them in the crowd as they will be sipping the Cabernet at the Mt Hotham Ski Chalet.
If Jako commits a stupid act he will regret let him king hit that princess Jacqueline Watts. Can't stand that goody two shoes.
Wonder if Captain Courageous Brad Green will play?
Want to see Riewoldt and the boys give them a beating especially b/c Frawley assumed that they have easier games now and expect to win and keep their finals flame flickering. 
Would love to extinguish this nothing club for 2011.

I am thinking we will win, these pricks are addicted to high draft picks not winning.

Hello Tiger supporters, have just joined your forum.
Supported the Tige's since 1970 (yes i am a bit of an old bastard)
I am heading over to Melbourne from Perth this weekend, to watch the mighty Tigers demolish Melbourne.
Can anyone tell me where most of the Richmond fans sit at the MCG? There is nothing quite like a sea of Gold and Black!!

This looks like a good forum, thanks for having me, its great to see so many brothers and sisters in one place.

Welcome Wellsy

As CUB said head to the Ponsford Stand (Gate 1) Level 1 (ground level) as that's the area that the Club has orgnanised for members to sit this weekend as part of the replacement game.

I believe most of Level 1 is general admission seating anyway   and beside at the MCG the attendants aren't that big on looking at people's tickets to see where they are supposed to be sitting - so should be able to rock up and sit anywhere you darn well please

Thanks Lads,

Love ya work
