Tigers vs Bombers - Hot August Nights / Let there be rock

Why Americanise our game as well as the country.?

"In round 20 (last week) we had about 18 games per player less experience than we had in round 20 last year," he said.

"We are significantly younger this year and even this week there is a lot of talk about Essendon playing their younger boys but, based on the two teams from last week, we will have about 600 games less experience than them."

Sports Tonight showed Tezza giving Sheeds a backhander today saying music after goals is commercialising the game and isn't that basketball crap  .

Who do you guys think will get Hird?

Speaking of James Hird, on The Gospel the other week, they were asked if they could choose a player between James Hird, Nathan Buckley and Michael Voss, at their peak, who would they pick.  Apart from Browny who chose Hird, the rest all picked Vossy.

These two teams may be well out of the running but that hasn't stopped the coaches from talking up their views. Bomber coach Kevin Sheedy has deflected the focus from his side's miserable season by attacking the current trend of ``flooding'' players behind the ball. He says the league needs to act to stop the ugly spectacle but it's likely, whatever brand of football Essendon dishes up, it won't be too pretty either. Richmond, meanwhile is looking ahead with the signing of young stars including Andrew Raines, the son of Tiger great Geoff Raines. Essendon has a tougher encounter against the Western Bulldogs in its final season game so will be all out to score points here for a little respectability. Richmond is chasing its third win in a row and wants to at least propel itself properly into the 2007 pre-season. It goes into the game on the back of a solid win over a weak Carlton side but demonstrated the old-style long kicking to high-marking contests which Sheedy has been calling on all sides to show. With the key personnel stacking up in favour of the Tigers this week a repeat performance should help them over the line.

Key: Essendon has star full-back Dustin Fletcher out so Richmond spearhead Matthew Richardson should provide a major target for the Tigers, if they employ their traditional tactics of last week.

Tip: Richmond by 25 points

Im sorry Im gonna pee people off, but we were diabolical tonight. Average performance from us against a team who shouldnt have got within 10 goals of us. My future non premiership players stay in tact. We were smashed in centre clearances in key parts of the game and our defence was a rabble.

Put it down to a long year for some young kids, Ramps.  At least they won 
The alternative would have been pretty unbearable after the good year they've had.
Crap game but was good to see Richo cream them, and the only Hot August Night music played was the Tiger Themse Song, so stick that up you're arrse, Sheeds
