Freo another side on the rebound

[mightytiges]

Another full on game next week with Freo just coming off a 68 point hiding at the 'Gabba. Geez I hope they play like they did today. The Lions smashed them at every contest and they had no one strong enough to stop Jonathan Brown which is a good sign for Richo who is due after a couple of quiet weeks.

If we win the next 3 games the Tiges could be responsible for 4 sacked coaches in one year - Thompson, Connolly, Laidley and Clarkson lol. 

[letsgetiton!]

we will win, no doubt. all we have to do is hold pavlova and we will win, and ghe usaually plays poor v us.
they have never been able to hold richo and wont this time either

[Moi]

Wondering how many will pick us to win this week.
Rather they didn't pick us, because it's a useful motivational tool, but an insult all the same.

Razor gave Pav a bath at the 'G last year so he might get the gig. It depends if McPharlin and Sandilands returns how we'll set up. We won't be have to worry about lack of height in defence if they don't play.

we normally play well v the docks at there home, i have no doubt we will win as long as the umpires officiate fairly!  connolley has alreadt gone whinging to the afl umpires saying they are getting a raw deal week in week out! he obv never sees the tigers play and how stiff we are

I wouldn't hold your breath. Umpiring in Perth for away sides is always shocking  .

The last time I ever tip the Bombers  .

[letsgetiton!]

dockers have no heart or passion, they have no character, we will beat them

[DallasCrane]

Again we are paying $3 with the bookies

[Tiger Spirit]

I think it's a good thing that people don't tip us.  I've gained some ground in the tipping comp. at work over the past couple of weeks.

What ridiculous odds 

FREMANTLE   $1.28
RICHMOND    $3.70

[PuntRdRoar]

why on earth would anyone take $1.28 for the dockers...sure its a 28% return but gees those odds are short for the dockers. Any decent gambler would take the $3.70 for us i reckon.

We're the "in-form team of the comp" according to Connolly. A good excuse for him if we win  . Right out of the Spud manual to AFL coaching lol.

Fremantle coach Chris Connolly has admitted he will "expect the unexpected" when the unpredictable Tigers travel to Subiaco Oval for Saturday's clash against the Dockers.

Richmond has won five of its past six matches - the only loss being a 118-point mauling at the hands of Sydney in round seven - but it has been the team's style of play that has raised the eyebrows of many.

In round eight, the Tigers battled out a gritty three-point win against Adelaide by continually chipping the ball around and gaining uncontested possessions.

However, the very next week against Geelong, coach Terry Wallace employed a more attacking, free-flowing style of football that surprised the Cats, resulting in a 20-point win.

"We play a team this weekend, Richmond, that are the in-form team in the competition in many ways," Connolly said.

"The wins they've had have been outstanding, particularly in recent weeks, so they'll come over with a lot of confidence and we'll be looking to take them on."

Connolly was adamant the Dockers wouldn't fall into the trap of playing the game on Richmond's terms.

"They've come up with different ways they go about playing, so we've got to stay focused," he said.

"If there's adjustments to the playing environment, we'll quickly move on with playing our brand of footy. We'll go on the attack, and look to give our forwards every opportunity.

"This game will be approached like the other nine (this season), and we'll prepare with a strong attention to detail, and go out and have a red-hot go. Every game throws up its different challenges, and you've got to be prepared, and get the game on your terms as quickly as you can."
