Tigers vs Kangaroos game thread
« on: August 29, 2011, 06:49:51 PM »
The AFL site is tipping us to win by over 4 goals ....


SUMMARY
Last weekend could hardly have panned out more differently for these two clubs.

The Tigers went to AAMI Stadium, where they had not beaten Adelaide since 1999, and defeated the Crows by 22 points in a very impressive performance. North Melbourne, meanwhile, was knocked out of finals contention after being thrashed by St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.

The Roos' loss means there is nothing but pride on the line in this match, which is the last of the home and away season.

Richmond will be desperate to finish off its encouraging campaign with another victory (that would make it four in a row), while Brad Scott's men need to fight back after their capitulation against the Saints.

The Tigers have few injury concerns other than their skipper Chris Newman, whose season has already come to an end due to a knee injury.

But North are likely to make at least a couple of changes after promising midfielders Jack Ziebell and Levi Greenwood were offered suspensions by the match review panel.
 
QUESTION MARKS
Can the Tigers finish ninth again? Richmond has finished in ninth place on six occasions since the top eight was introduced for the 1994 season. If the Tigers beat North, and the Bulldogs beat Fremantle, you can make that seven.

Will North Melbourne be flat as a pancake this weekend? The Kangaroos put everything into their clash with the Saints, and led by 24 points in the second quarter, yet came up well short. As a result, they might be already contemplating their footy trip.
 
PREDICTION
Richmond by 26 points

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Dimma should of said its the last Eureka game because North are wasting our time and we cant be stuffed be in this game. Its a lowbuster of the lowest of orders. Its a farce.

Eureka seems to always be our home game.
I just can't understand going into an agreement with that Nought club.
We'd get more going into an agreement with a suburban club.

Now now don't be snobs.  This is because we are a big crowd drawing club, and this will start to become something of a trend that we should embrace.  More clubs will want blockbusters with us in the future as we regain our lost mojo.  This is to be embraced as our star becomes ascendant and collingwoods wains into oblivion.  Look for the positives not the silly negatives.

aaaaah so we are playing a waiting game....Now I get it....years and years of pain so when we rise from the ashes our victory will be all the more magnificent. I like the idea, plus the more losses we have....the more emlazoned and light blinding our final victory and glory will be. :thumbsup
