GWS is a Danger Game for Tigers (Herald-Sun)

[one-eyed]

From Jon Ralph's 'the buzz' in today's Herald-Sun ....


IS Saturday’s clash against Greater Western Sydney shaping as yet another danger game for Richmond?

No Jack Riewoldt, and maybe no Nathan Foley yet again.

And up against a GWS side that will have Jon Patton on debut and Jeremy Cameron working into some impressive form.

Who kicks the goals for the Tigers without Jack?

Good sides go up and take care of business against pesky expansion sides.

Last year a Round 10 loss to Port Adelaide in Darwin turned into a huge slump.

The Tigers lost eight of nine games in that period, quickly going into free fall.

Richmond has improved since then, but the test comes against GWS before the bye.

every poo team thinks they can beat us.

Sad but true!

We need to stamp ourselves on these games as much as getting wins over teams in the 8.
Am I worried about this game? Damn straight I am, even more so going to Cairns again and if we lose I am entitled to my two cents.

[eliminator]

Agree danger game. Am worried about the game. Agree every crap team thinks they can beat us. Need to smash GWS as confirmation that we are different side to the past and an improved team to be feared

Lose to GWS or Suns then we are no different than where we were 12 months and the last 2 months counts for poo

Agree, both those games are "Must Win" games or we have come nowhere this season

[10 FLAGS]

I think we'll win by 60 points but we should be aiming for double to get our percentage up.

[TigerLand]

Does everyone forget we beat GWS by about 400 points in the pre season?

Any SuperCoaches out the put Deledio as captain, after last weeks tag he'll go beserk on Saturday, as he did in pre season against them 30+ possession and 5 goals.

[Stripes]

They are a different team to the one we played in preseason just like Geelong was too. GWS was level with Geelong up until half time so we need to ensure we turn on the afterburners in the second half. Coming off a bye and with our petrol almost empty, this game will be closer than we all hope 

[georgies31]

Weaker teams think they can get the win against us because they know we have are weak mentality and brainfades when were up and running as we seen last week.Need to stamp our authority from the outset.No excuses with Riewolt and Foley or without them !!!!.

Win first then worry about margin

[Coach]

You can't worry about the margin when you have already won.

Perhaps I should have said get into a position where the game is won and then work on the margin & percentage

Good weather for it
