Oh I'm so glad we won.  Actually it was Mini-me who got the ball signed by Joel.  Didn't the last quarter just go on forever?

He hasn't done as much flashy stuff that everyone expects from him which is why people think he's been quiet despite his stats being up on 2005. We have the inside guys Cogs, Tuck and tonight Foley but we need blokes who can break the game open and have the speed to win the ball in open space which is what Lids did tonight. It was a good game from him especially in the third quarter.

The only negative I had of him tonight was I thought his disposal was a touch off at times. He also should have gone all the way for goal in the last after that fantastic run. Ended up being a nothing kick. We would have had two goals of the week in 4 rounds.

Well the Tigers have given me a holiday to remember!!!

It certainly wasnt the best game of footy, but atleast we had a fair crack all night and held off their last attempt at trying to grab the game. Was impressed with the run most players showed tonight, although i still think most of our players need to run harder to link up as we run and carry the footy.

Had great seats on the wing, got great transport to the ground via the bus (thanks Julz for the advice  ) Got to catch up and say hello to Julz and also met Mopsy which was great also.

Being my first interstate trip, i found the Gabba to be very weird. Great venue, but no attmosphere. Most of their crowd dont have a clue about the game and are just on the wagon. It was great to stick it up the Brisbane supportes who were sitting around me.

My voice is pretty much shot after tonight, been out for two weeks and am not match fit. Hopefully i will be better for the run and i am looking forward to returning to melbourne and heading to the G next Friday night.

Yes my throat is sore too and I went to the game with a strained hip-flexor!  I'm always impressed by the number of tiger supporters there.

[Tiger Spirit]

Watching on telly, it was good to see so many Richmond supporters there.

You would be proud of Richo and Simmonds' efforts Julz.  Richo was sensational in that 3rd quarter.  His effort against Vossy turned the game I thought.

Still won't be going for the ducks.

I agree TS, Richo had an absolute cracker! He played well all over the ground and plenty of one percenters like the Voss challenge. Simmo also had a great game and I thought Joel did really well on Brown in fact I was very happy with our makeshift backline except for the odd bunching up here and there. If Petts can control his frustration he will also be very good for us this year. LMAO @ master niggler and all round Mr Happy Chris Johnson kicking out of bounds to Neville nobody and Akkers 50m penalty brain explosion!! Two of the highlights of the game for me after having to endure years of cockiness from those two!

LOL tiga @ Mr Happy  . How that fresh air swing at Pettifer. What an idiot  .

Might’ve been a bit over the top for me to say that piece of play turned the game, but from that point the game seemed to turn our way, anyway.

No doubting that Richo’s efforts in that third quarter had a major impact on the result.

Re Pettifer, he needs to start developing some consistency in his game.  Maybe that’s partly due to him being easily distracted by everything going on around him, rather than focusing on his role.  Makes such a difference to the way he plays when he stays involved in the game.

The Gabba is a weird place and the supporters - let's see they cheer points, they cheer out on the full, as long the ball goes somewhere near the Lions goals the cheer like they've scored a goal

Sensational effort by the tigers and I reckon Richo did turn the game because when we needed someone to step up and take the game on Richo did it, when we needed a clutch goal in the last quarter Richo did it but the thing that people mightn't have seem was his workrate in keeping the ball inside the F50 - never let it be said that he doesn't chase or make a contest.

 

And too the bozzo who on my red-eye flight last week told me that the tigers would never go anywhere and achieve anything while we have one Matthew Richardson playing for us - you sir are a FOOL
