Tiges v Brisbane

[Moi]

Voss is hinting this might be his last year, and with concern over his knee, I'm gathering every game he plays from now on will be like his last and the rest of his team to act accordingly.
Big game for the Tiges this week.

[julzqld]

Talk up here is that he might not play Sat night.

[Moi]

Another player i wish had played for the Tiges - shame not to see him play another
If this is his last year and doesn't play on Saturday, of course.

Greatest midfielder of the modern era IMO. Voss has done it all and he probably doesn't care but he should have had a Norm Smith medal to go with his Brownlow and 3 flags too.

The Lions still have some good youngsters coming through like Sherman,Selwood, Moody, Roe and Hooper and they've been competitive all year so even with their massive injury list it's still a 50/50 game. Razor will need to keep Bradshaw quiet.

RICHMOND V BRISBANE LIONS at Telstra Dome 7.10pm

Head to head: Richmond 15, Brisbane 15

Last time: Richmond 14.12 (96) bt Brisbane 11.16 (82) R4 2006 Gabba

Richmond has slipped out of the finals race with four straight losses to teams who are set to figure in the September action. But - woefully inaccurate goalkicking aside - there were some promising signs in last week's loss to the Western Bulldogs, including the form of youngsters Richard Tambling and Cam Howat. Brisbane's Melbourne-based fans may well miss a last chance to say goodbye to skipper Michael Voss, who is ruled out with a knee injury he says was exacerbated by playing at Telstra Dome.

Key: Richmond ruck-forward Troy Simmonds has rarely lowered his colours in a stellar season that could well be rewarded with All Australian selection. He will be raring to go after serving a one-match suspension.

Tip: Richmond by 25 points.

The "Experts" in the Herald-Sun have tipped us 17-1

[julzqld]

We have to keep Bradshaw quiet.

[harry bosch]

Probably 10 or more years since a weaker Brisbane team took the field..

I know we aren't exactly world beaters and have injury problems of our own but we really should win this game..

Would be as nearly as disappointing as the Hawthorn game if we lost this..

[WilliamPowell]

Already very very nervous - these games where we are the favourites cause me great stress

Bad habit I suppose

 

[mightytiges]

If we play like last week even with the mistakes we'll win. If we're flat like the three before we'll get done.

As long as we don't get anymore injuries  .

David King on 3aw

* New lawn at the Dome in the middle. Turf on the outside.

* No changes.

* First time in a month going into the game against a similar opponent so a big chance for a win.

* Try to expose the shorter Brisbane defence. We're a taller side tonight. Go tall at stages but they have to mark the ball otherwise that's useless.

* Richo getting back to his usual self after the wrist injury. Wrist not giving him much trouble as a couple of weeks ago. We'll see Richo do that big arcs back into 50 as we saw 4-5 years ago.

* Hall (not first choice FB by any means) and Joel will be our key defenders. Joel will need to sacrifice his game a bit for the team but he can still get the ball a bit. Try to also contain Luke Power.

Unfortunately Im unable to go tonight, lets hope we have a good win

Why didn't we run and move the footy like this over the past month.

Richo gets our second

Richo gets another after a Brisbane goal.
