I'm worried Roos will out coach Dimma seems a common trend.

This out coaching stuff is rubbish.

If the players have a greater work rate than their counterparts,  we will win. It's as simple as that. Run hard both ways, tackle hard and pressure your opposition and play direct football.

FFS stop making the game out to be a scientific experiment!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

If we don't lift, I reckon we'll lose. As has already been mentioned, dees play a style of footy we hate and struggle against. They pushed Adelaide last week to the limit physically, I have grave reservations we can cop that type of physicality unfortunately.



Spot on and Dimma needs to coach well to.

If Melbourne win - we are crap - give me Hardwicks head on a stick

If Richmond win - Melbourne are crap .....but we are still pure excrement .

If Melbourne get within 5 goals - panic stations

If Richmond win by over 10 goals - just flat track bullies.

Think that covers all scenarios ;)

Last years loss was unacceptable there is no sugar coating it.

This game should be a redux of what should've been.

Let's get fairdinkum here. A minimum 10 goal smashing is all that should be expected against a mob that's atleast 3 years behind us in development.
The club that keeps giving.

As Tucky would attest, Garry Lyon normally tries to pump us up and tips us whenever we are playing his old side Melbourne, almost as a jinx. Tonight though, he emphatically said "Melbourne will win". So hopefully it's a reverse jinx this time around and we do a job on the Dees  :pray.

Garry tipped the Dees last night yet has tipped us in The Age  :wallywink

The 'expert' tipsters in the media have overwhelming picked Richmond tonight.

Herald-Sun    27 - 2
The Age        21 - 3 ....... Does Pendlebury hate Richmond? He's has tipped against us again.

You forgot the main scenario relevant to this site - if Richmond lose all the posters who criticise others for being too negative or Debbie Downers will go to ground, with one eye on reporting posts that they can't handle reading under the guise of baiting or trolling.

Circa post-Bulldogs loss.

I honestly don't know where we stand in this game.
One half of the brain saying we win by 6 or 7 goals.
Other half is saying we lose by 2 or 3.

I know it's a big difference, but I think the brain is saying Melbourne and the heart is saying Richmond. lol.

Anyway I have a question,
I think it's been about 4 years since I have driven to the G for a game of football.
When leaving the games the car park is chockers, does any one know of any good spots too park at?
As you probably have guessed i'm driving in lol.

it doesn't matter if we win or lose. We are still a better team than last year. The club said so and they know best
