Richmond vs Hawthorn @ the MCG --- Round 22, 2022

[Broadsword]

Bringing my kid to their first proper game.

Any tips?

Parent rooms are the best mate. Never let your kids in those disgusting public toilets especially girls.

Microwaves, tv’s it has the lot.

Bring milk, cocoa heat her up and your set. Go back and fire up some pop corn in the microwave.

It’s located around m24, though I’m sure there is a few

Or you could just take your Mrs and get her to do all that and remind her not to forget to buy you a beer on the way back. 

And while you are time travelling can you let me know what the 1943 grand final was like? I always heard it was a classic--and everyone wore excellent hats.

C’mon mate, they didn’t allow ladies in the G back then unless they were cleaning the dunnies or serving the elite at the MCC members lounge (long room) 

I thought it was at the G too, but turns out the 43 GF was one of three played at Princes Park during the war. I'm going to try to remember that for a pub quiz one day.

Tigers look to avoid final-round scramble

The race to sneak into the AFL finals is set to go down to the wire but Richmond are keen to avoid the frantic last-round scrambling.

The Western Bulldogs' thrilling five-point win over GWS on Saturday means they are just half a win behind eighth-placed Richmond.

If the Tigers fail to beat Hawthorn at the MCG on Sunday, their final-round match against Essendon will become a nervy affair.

But a win over Hawthorn will guarantee finals action, and more importantly give star midfielder Dustin Martin ample time to get his hamstring right.

Richmond have beaten Brisbane and Port Adelaide over the past fortnight, and will fancy their chances against Hawthorn.

But the Hawks will be no pushovers, especially after captain Ben McEvoy announced his retirement during the week.

Hawthorn have won four of their past five games to improve their season record to 8-12 under first-year coach Sam Mitchell.

Need a professional performance today switch on from the get go and take our chances and no passengers let's lift the intensity up every week so we a peaking come finals bring that pressure and harassment.

This is a classic danger game. Hope everyone had their ticker checked before heading out this afternoon

[pmac21]

Need to do what Geelong do.  They just snuffed the Suns out early.

No late changes. So Floss is playing.

Castagna is the sub again.

Lynch is some sort of Greek demi-God. Like Achilles or something. Man mountain. He's looking in good nick!

[pmac21]

How often.  We dominate don't score. They score

[Broadsword]

That goal was sensational!

[Broadsword]

In the picture were: Lynch, Riewoldt, Cumberland, Bolton, MRJ. Pretty good players to have in F50!

[Broadsword]

Lol at the missed trip. Same old same old.

[Broadsword]

Liking it. Boys look "on."

[Broadsword]

I think we have the best key forward in the comp this year!

[Broadsword]

I'm reminded of 2017. We've accidentally found some players and configurations through necessity (injury). Miller FWD/RUCK/BACK, Sonsie, Cumberland up forward. Looking really tight atm. Not sure if Grimes gets back in at this stage. Martin warm up next week?

[Broadsword]

Great pressure Tigers! Looking really, really good!
