Richmond vs Brisbane @ the 'Gabba --- 2nd Qualifying Final, 2020

[one-eyed]

Brisbane won tonight so our opponent in the QF is down to Port's game. Port win and we play the Lions at the Gabba, otherwise we play Port at the Adelaide Oval.

Maybe a dumb question but any preference out of the two or happy to play anyone anywhere?

[Tiger Khosh]

Preference is Brisbane at the Gabba but not fussed either way.

[WilliamPowell]

No preference at all

Whoever, where ever, we will win
 

[cub]

Probably Brisbane, but think both are overrated and we will beat whoever

[Rampsation]

Just bring our best effort and we win against either.

[big tone]

Give me Brisbane in Brisbane for sure.

I don’t think I could handle watching the one side umpiring we would have to put up with if we played Port in Adelaide.

[MintOnLamb]

Umpiring will be against us no matter what.
AFL want Brisbane or Port to win the flag, they are sick of us IMO.
I think we will beat port or Brisbane
We may as well ff to the Grand Final against Geelong and save everyone a lot of trouble.

Pros and cons to each so it doesn't matter.



Playing Brisbane first and winning means we play all our finals in Qld. However, if we stuff up the QF then we could end up with a PF in Adelaide.
Playing Port is tougher first up as we travel to Adelaide but we won't be leaving Qld after that win or lose the QF.

Option A:
QF vs Brisbane (W)
PF vs (loser of Port vs Geel or winner of WCE vs Coll)
GF vs (winner of Port vs Geel, or winner of Bris vs StK/Dogs)

Option B:
QF vs Brisbane (L)
SF vs (winner of StK vs Dogs)
PF vs (winner of Port vs Geel) …. in Adelaide if vs Port
GF vs (one of Bris, loser of Port vs Geel, or winner WCE vs Coll)

Option C:
QF vs Port (W) …. in Adelaide
PF vs (loser of Bris vs Geel or winner of WCE vs Dogs)
GF vs (winner of Bris vs Geel, or winner of Port vs Coll/StK)

Option D:
QF vs Port (L) …. in Adelaide
SF vs (winner of Coll/StK)
PF vs (Port, loser of Bris vs Geel, or winner of WCE vs Dogs)

Unless there's a major turnaround in the last quarter tonight, it's looking like it's going to be Brisbane.

[one-eyed]

Brisbane @ the Gabba is it.

[mightytiges]

Let's hope we don't get the first up Thursday nighter so Lynch is given an extra day to get right.

[Willy]

Bring on the bunnies!
