Reckon we would blow West Coast off the park with our speed .

GWS would turn to water if we bring the same pressure as last night .

Port do have some weapons which could hurt us - they would be my least desired opponents.

I'd like nothing better than to rub Port's nose in it.

Can't see West Coast making it through to us. Too much travel ahead of them.

GWS most likely, but I'd fancy our chances there. They love playing half fit players on reputation, although they do have some bona fide match winners, which is what you want in finals.

Out of GWS and the Eagles now.

We couldn't have been given a better run to a GF. Still have to win but I hope we don't stuff it up from here.

we bring the same intent, we win.

you have to remember if gws win the confidence will be higher when they face up.

Im hoping eagles win personally

I actually thought the Eagles would be the better team to play before they beat Port, but only because they have so much travel in the two weeks before the prelim.

But not so sure now. I reckon the Eagles  are much more of a 'team' than GWS, and that is really important in the finals. Their win over Port was as gutsy as it gets.

I think it is largely immaterial anyway. We have no say in it, and I do not like to barrack for results of other games too much because it always comes back and bites me.

And we will beat whoever we play.

Most likely in the Prelim, probably Westcoast but that's just on how bad GWS were against he crows.
Don't matter much as we can beat anyone and Friday nite proved that.
So bring on westcoast or gws  :thumbsup we're gonna reign down hell on them :gotigers
The third quarter, the premiership quarter, it's Dusty time. He starts to shine and then delivers in the most AWESOME fashion.

Either way the crowd will be on our side.


I'm hoping it's GWS. There will be 94,000 supporting Richmond and 1,000 supporting GWS.

I guess we have no say in it but id like the GWS option for the same reason. But then i think wed probably have way better chance at a Grand Final if we played West Coast.

What will be will be i guess!!!

West Coast are starting to have that Footscray "destiny" feel about them.... :shh

[smasha]Gilligan has tipped GWS for the flag all year and desperately wants them to win....no doubt the umpires will be made aware of this... :shh [/smasha]

Not going to be easy, but I'm confidant of at least making it for some reason
