Well, heres the deal, we have to kick four goals lead and then four more to make up for the four free kicks in front of goal they will inevitably get from the maggots (for any contact whatsoever), and the two 50 metre penalties they also conjure up against us as a matter of course.

I'm so starting a thread on this

Richmond v Sydney (Saturday, MCG)
Scott Gullan
From: Herald Sun

OUR TIP: RICHMOND

We're not picking on you Swans fans, but there is a stats alert on your team again this week. Sydney has won only one game and drawn one from its past 14 matches at the MCG. Ouch.

Throw in no Adam Goodes and our man Lewis Roberts-Thompson - remember he was once favourite for the Norm Smith at halftime of a Grand Final - and this has a stench about it for the Swans. In Round 21 last year Richmond smashed Sydney by 43 points at the MCG.

The only concern about this scenario is whether we can trust Richmond. This is the type of game - ie one where everything points to them winning - that it has found a way to lose in recent times, plus the Swans have won eight of their past 10 against the Tigers.

Another feel-good stat for Swans fans - the last time Richmond started favourite against Sydney was in Round 10, 2003. Result: Sydney won by 32 points.

They said the same thing about us before the Melbourne and Port games and we won them both comfortably in the end. Despite the win last weekend, we weren't great last week apart from the 2nd quarter. So there shouldn't be any Tigers getting ahead of themselves.

Now I'm really going to miss it. Off to the hospital now. Dad's missus has been changed to critical and moved onto life support. I'll chuck on Foxtel to record the game, let's hope they get up.

Bad news mate. I know how you feel though. After years of chemo my partners mum is starting to feel the pinch. Going to the game today but it could all change if she's goes downhill suddenly. Can't compare to life support but it is a day to day prognosis. All the best for you and your family.

All the best, Dwaino.
