Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
TBV and BF should keep me entertained today
We have lost our HEART AND SOLE and are content in LOSING. Simple as that.
Losing has been accepted culture at our once great club. Theres no second eforts , no hardness, we have no tough guys and the softest team in the Afl. We dont work for each or run in numbers for support. Another season of bottom 4 is assured On a positive note Natanui is the most promising ruckman in draft history this year http://www.bluebaggers.com/phpboard/viewtopic.php?t=20956
This game will be over by HALF TIME Im never usually wrong mate I can feel it now!http://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?p=650054#650054
Deja vu. Joffa mouthing off before our game again Quote from: joffa corfeThis game will be over by HALF TIME Im never usually wrong mate I can feel it now!http://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?p=650054#650054
Dangers: Delidio (kicked 5! on us last year). He will play forward and stretch us - he has GREAT hands). Richo (obviously, but hopefully he has his kicking boots on, i.e. kicks inaccurately) Foley (a fiery little machine, must be stopped at clearances) Bowden (to run off half back ... Richmond always destroy us at half back) Nathan Brown (you just sense he's gonna turn it on soon, and we always get burnt by small forwards having a field day) Schultz (the X factor up forward, he can't bob up as a matchwinner if we decide to double/triple team Richo) I'm scared of this game every year. We are never safe vs this mob. They ALWAYS lift against us, as do their supporters (and it's their home game). Coupled with the fact that I'm going with my Tigers-fan cousin who has a RIDICULOUS winning record of these matches. I predict us to fall 3-4 goals behind early as we always do against this mob and play catch-up all day. Sorry, but it happens EVERY F**KING YEAR with Richmond. ANy chance we can snag the first 2 or 3 for once? Happy with a win that won't give me a heart attack.
Every Tiges game I go down to the G and expect to win and win well. Too often I come away really disapointed. At this stage of the season, happy with a win. Any sort of a win. Get the 4 points. Talking percentage is thinking the tiges are no good at all. While I don't think they'll make the 8, They have all their senior players back and fit. Expect them to finsh 9th-12th. So I don't see why everyone thinks this is an easy match? If we (players especially) go in thinking its an easy one, ................... well I think thats been the historical problem against the Tiges! We need to lift from last weeks debarcle. Lets be honest, in the cold light of day, we lost the game last week through either choking or a very poor last Q effort. Umpiring IMO was bad for both sides through the whole game. It just made me more frustrating. We need to convert our chances no matter what the score line is. Not waste it cos we're a few points up! Need to Lift Pies!
We really should beat Bitchmond by 30+ Points on Sunday:-) But we don't want to get cocky because they are still a decent side, that still can hurt you just look at Round 1
not so sure about that dtm. we have seen that carlton are shyte no matter which way you look at it. north melbourne won very easily against richmond because they were able to capitalise on richmond's poor disposal into the forward line and able to rebound it more effectively than carlton. north had more of a forward structure than carlton did. i know we've been burnt in previous years but we really should win this comfortably. 30+ like you say dtm, i agree with that.
monk loves to hate joffa lol
PREVIEW: FREO V TIGERSWritten by Shane Richmond West Coast last week, Richmond the next. No wonder Rhys Palmer and Chris Mayne think this AFL caper is all just a bit of a laugh. Fremantle's season is getting a kick start thanks to some handy fixturing which will see them play bottom 4 clubs two weeks in a row and springboard the 2008 Premiers back into the top of the ladder where they belong. Fiery meetings between selectors at the Doig Table have raged all week long at Fremantle as they fight to fit 26 great footballers into a squad of 22 while over at Richmond, in the Trent Nicholls room, they've been arguing all week long over whether or not Round 4 is too early to start playing for draft picks.Full Dockerland 'preview' is herehttp://www.dockerland.com/match-preview/match-preview-freo-v-tigers.html
They're no good and we are better, but we must play Fraser and hope that "the man who should not have even been reported let alone got seven weeks" plays and on Brown, their only class player. And - attack, attack, attack!
There only class player? Don't rate Delidio? Don't rate Foley? Don't rate Richo?
NO,NO,NO! Richo? Who have got to be kidding. He is the reason they have been no good for - how long has he been playing? Reason? HE CAN'T KICK! We'll smash them - with our current game plan - by at least two goals.
Well I wish we had players with his lack of skill and attitude.
2 weeks ago i went to melbourne to watch Saints vs Bombers with a Bulldogs supporting mate so on the sunday i got to watch Richo live if u think he's no good u need to go to a richmond game and watch how he goes about it bloody stuff he is and top player
Can you recall how many times the Tigers have beaten the Saints in the last four years with Richo the Champ playing and his massive goal kicking record? If not, look it up. PS None and woeful.
Have you seen the thread on Trevor Barker. He was a great player. How many games did we win when he played. Hardly any. Tony Lockett anyone. Is there 22 players in a side. Yes. Can one player do it on his own. No. But thanks for your insightful post.
If we play like we have in recent weeks the Tigers will make a friggin' meal of us. I'm not so sure about Saturday night. I'm hoping our players yank their fingers out!
We will smash Richmond this week. Even still, we're still in trouble as it's our formline against the top teams that is the problem. I can cop a loss to Collingwood, but if we drop ANY other game out of Richmond, Melbourne, or Brisbane, then it is season over.
Baker Hudghton L.Fisher can lock down Goddard S. Fisher Fiora a rebounding half back with foot skills Montagna Dal Santo Gram midfield run working between 50 arcs Ball Riewoldt Armitage hard tackling, goal kicking flankers Milne Koschitzke Schneider goal sneaks at foot of marking target M. Gardiner Hayes Harvey Interchange: - King or McEvoy - C. Gardiner OR Gehrig (if BOTH King and M.Gardiner do not play) - Birss (need an extra shut down player as a tagger or relieve Hayes) - Jack Steven (relieve Ball, Armitage or Schneider for a run in the midfield) Dal Santo, Hayes and Harvey to rotate with Ball, Schneider and Armitage NOT off the bench. Sam Gilbert would make the team instead of Fiora if he was not injured.http://www.saintsational.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42221&sid=8db7ba6799c05babce81ce5bd5acaf05

They should beat Melbourne, but they have no chance against Brisbane or Richmond.When will they come to terms with the fact that their premiership window is now closed and deadbolted.
