Friday night as Jillian just reported on footy classified    damn I'm rostered nightshift - hope everything is sorted by then

[mightytiges]

Thanks Gill, for another six day break on top of playing our 'home' game at North's home ground .

[WilliamPowell]

Good decision 

Especially if we have to travel the following week, likely an extra day's break

We could be playing this match on the moon with a 2 month break. We'll still lose. North stuffing hate us.

I know how you feel, BUT feel the faith, i still remember a Friday night game many many moons ago when we went crazy and kicked simething like 8 goals against them in the first quarter.....mmmm sweet memory

It was a Monday night from memory and was in 95.

We went nuts early

This game played at the G we win, because it's at Etihad we lose.
We just dont Play well there there for one reason or another

[blaisee]

fantastic for us.

We get a longer break than our opponent for our first final, unless of course we play North 2 weeks in a row

RICHMOND will play North Melbourne on the Friday night to start the last AFL round before the finals.

The AFL is due to announce the round 23 fixture on Tuesday.

It is not beyond possibility that North could play Richmond in round 23 on Friday and face the Tigers the following Friday in a cut-throat final.

Bogey side, we won't win.

Well blow me down!

Anyone would have looked at the fixture at the start of the season, worked their way down to round 23 and scratched their head in disbelief as we were scheduled to play a home game against Norf at their home ground Etihad.
In fact my first thought was: what's the bet our season or theirs could depend on that game 

Fast forward to 4 weeks left in the season and guess what? We will be in a position where if that game doesn't decide our finishing position it could we'll decide if we play finals or not.
Have not beaten this team since 2011, I think it is time to put the past behind us.
So will the real RFC please stand up
