NAB Challenge 2 - Richmond vs Collingwood

[one-eyed]

Tickets for Saturday’s twilight clash at Norm Minns Oval could be sold out by today, with a limited number remaining after a major spike in sales over the weekend.

Ticketmaster has sold out of its allotment, meaning tickets are now only available through the Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre.

More than 80 per cent of the 11,000 tickets have been snapped up.

Collingwood and Richmond arrive in the North East on Friday and are expected to participate in a signing session across the road at W.J. Findlay Oval on Friday night.

The Tigers will train at Norm Minns Oval beforehand.

Gates open at 2.30pm on Saturday, with the match starting at 4.40pm.

The clash will be broadcast on Foxtel.

Isn't our season already over?

Isn't our season already over? 

According to most of the biggest Tiger supporters on here, apparently it is......

Isn't our season already over? 

We're just playing for pride in these last 30 weeks of the season.

[Chuck17]

Must win game

Any win under 15 goals will mean the rebuild is a failure

[WilliamPowell]

With it being our 2nd last hit out before the season starts would hope we'd play as close to our round 1 side as possible

Truth hurts a bit.

Agree and an overall lift on intensity across the board would also be beneficial.

[RollsRoyce]

A lift in intensity from the last pathetic effort would be good.
But to go in with a full complement of interchange players this time would be a start. I can't understand what they were  experimenting with last time when they apparently went in two players down. If the "experiment" was to look slow, sluggish and second to the ball all night long, then it was a stunning success.

Take your pills Rolls, it's a long season and we need you raging profanities and bursting neck veins on the TV in the second half of the year buddy

Last time I checked we won't be allowed to use 6 bench players against GC. May as well get players used to running out whole games under proper conditions.

Don't undestimate the art of deception

Hmmmm.............

 

[tigs2011]

10 goal loss will be acceptable. 


Also, would have liked to have traded our 1st pick for Longer last year just to see reactions. 1 possession and 7 HO's
