Richmond vs North Melbourne @ Hobart - Round 11, 2016

[Yeahright]

Oh no....now the game is earmarked for a spanking, one way game, all over by the 15 minute mark of the first and we will be the spankee..

By who? You?

It's rubbish Richmond has to play NORTH MELBOURNE in Tasmanian so they can stay alive

I'm unsure how this game works commercially for them.
There would be 70k if it were played at the 'G (57k went to Dreamtime)
You'd have 40-50k of those as paying Richmond or neutrals with the reminder Roos members or MCC.
Compare that to 17k in Hobart where they still have to give their members a home game in Melbourne.
Ridiculous commercial decision by Norf and the AFL.

Garnering support for their future relocation after the premiership tilt failure and the retirment of anyone they've got that's decent.

Commercially it works easily they are getting paid a 7 figure sum to play 3 games down there a year.

They need crwods of 35k plus to break even at Etihad. So.....they easily make more down there

And bents how is it rubbish that the tigers play down there. RFC are more than happy to go down there as the away team. Remember the club looked at playing a home down there until N0rt agreed to play 3 a year down there

yep the afl/tassie subsidise it to make it very attractive financially

Tasmania has been very kind to Richmond over the years . The gift that keeps on giving.

Time to give something back.

Yeah the Tasmania kangeroos

Tigers need team effort to crack Roos

Herald-Sun
2nd June 2016

RICHMOND star Jack Riewoldt claims the Tigers will need to come up with a variety of options up forward if they are to break North Melbourne’s stacked defence on Friday night.

Coming off their first loss of the AFL season, the ladder-leading Kangaroos take on the resurgent Tigers, who head into the showdown at Bellerive Oval on the back of three straight wins.

“They play a very strong brand of defensive football ... we just need to continually have good movement from our forwards and our mids and try and find as many avenues to goal as possible,” Riewoldt said.

Yes I remember it was Benny Gale's pet project until Demetriou stepped in and wanted his little baby nomad club to play down there to get some more supporters.

Port thought it was rubbish that they play RICHMOND interstate just so they could build a war chest to poach their gun defender, Troy Chaplin.

Brad Scott not coaching due to illness (he's in hospital). Darren Crocker will stand in

Just heard that, hmm. This happened last year as well?
