Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Bec Goddard is 100% right. Why are the defending premiere playing away round 1? Why weren’t they given the chance to unfurl a premiership flag at home first up?No, we HAD to have Richmond and Carlton playing first up again. #VicBias alive and well as always.https://twitter.com/senzu_bean/status/1226040596797612032
Sick and tired of Richmond Bering the face of AFL football. Maybe we could include other teams. There are 18 teams in this competition. Best draw most games at home ground Give is a rest ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️https://twitter.com/pamhosking2/status/1227127857895206912
AFL prejudices the fixture to favour teams like Richmond
That the tigers play 98% of their games at the MCG
The Victorian centric nature of the "fixture". Cant get enough of it.
Marlion Pickett is the most over-hyped player in the AFLM. He clearly has some good moves and proved that he is AFL standard, but I have strong doubts that he even plays a lot of senior footy. Injury prone as well, so he will do well to get through preseason.https://twitter.com/GcsunScast/status/1227860406460305410
The Tigers' model will pass and it will be a glorious day when it does. Talentless runners pushing, fumbling and knocking the ball forward for meterage and then tackling ravenously will eventually be overcome by an actually talented team who can maintain possession whilst cutting through a zone.Needs to be a balnce of defensive tacklign and clean ball movement. That's perfect footy. Richmond is everything wrong with footy right now.https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/have-the-tigers-rendered-stats-useless.1235895/page-3#post-64343180
put your hand up if you are sick of their arroganceBlues bet the tigers in the aflw last night great to see the arrogant tigers go down toohttps://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=86974
Quote from: 90 niceNup Richmond have won this year’s premiership already Doubt it, they were poo lucky with injuries again last year, all their stars aside from Rance came back, right on cue, they have a lot of luck with injuries long term the tigers, but that cant last. it has to end. Plus they ran into a very lack lustre GWS way outa their depth,buggered after playing one hell of a tough PF against us, plus, we were injury riddled ourselves, the tigers would have been very wary meeting us fully fit with their nemesis Mason Cox out too. Their luck will run out this season, I would bloody well hope so, cant stand the arrogant bastards, like all of us. https://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?p=1951315#1951315

It's not electric. It's a bunch of try hard unco's fumbling the ball forward until one of them manages to finally pick the thing up and have a ping. It's not far off unwatchable. Wet weather football in the dry. Perfectly coached to suit the poor skill level. Club has "peaked" at a time when the competition is also weak.
Our game plan stood up in finals, we just were outplayed by two excellent teams in the gf's. There are no top teams at the moment. Beating average interstate sides on your home deck in your gf's is one hell of an advantage. Playing two hot teams like 09 Geel and 10 Coll is a different proposition. All 3 sides would flog the Richmond team of today.
The Geelong side of today would get smashed by the 09 version of Geelong, just like Richmond would.https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/have-the-tigers-rendered-stats-useless.1235895/page-5#post-64352250
We were all over them in the prelim final up until half time until our coach lost us the game. Plus we didn't even have Mitch Duncan or Hawkins. They are certainly beatable. I think one of these keys is slowing the game down, they love a fast paced and high intensity game and live off perceived pressure. They are very counter attacking team, so forward half turnovers are fatal when playing them, got to get the ball deep inside 50 and ideally take marks . I think keeping the ball off the ground is a must against them because they play that forward at all cost style and stream forward in waves so they love the ball on the ground and if you are marking it they cant use their pressure game. I think a game style similar to the hawks in their 3 peat years would be very effective against them. Also got to convert inside 50s and shots on goal, while this is relevant against any team, its more so for Richmond as they don't need many inside 50's to hurt teams.https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/stopping-the-tigers-2020.1233643/post-64364566

FJ is the only one that makes sense.

This is how we lost to Collingwood in the 2018 PF.
Unpopular opinionMan for man @essendonfc have better players than @Richmond_FC . Most of tigers players are role players and wouldn’t get into a lot of top 8 sides. Dimma is a great coach and has done a great job in tricking people into believing duds like Prestia are elite.

Huge call mate, but true. As a fellow Essendon supporter, I'd have our players over Richmond players anyday of the week, regardless how many Premierships they've won.
Someone needs to go through the ledger at Richmond. I think some auditing could reveal some salary cap breaches...https://twitter.com/jamesvear/status/1229548498963427328
