Richmond vs Sydney @ ANZ - Round 23, 2014
« on: August 24, 2014, 10:13:56 PM »
It all comes down to this  :gotigers.

-----------------------------------------

The Tigers have not beaten the Swans in Sydney since round seven, 2004, at the SCG and have only played at their round 23 venue, ANZ Stadium, once, in round 22, 2002. But a win would secure Richmond's first consecutive finals appearance since they played five in a row from 1971-75.

The Sydney Swans will not rest players for the sake of it against Richmond in round 23, according to coach John Longmire.

Yes.

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

8 point game.

But really, need to line up some of their blokes off the first bounce and give away the first few frees hoping they go into self preservation mode for their next game.

Even if the swans do rest a couple of big name players this week it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be easier.
The swans have got a few depth listed players starving for senior selection that would want to prove their coach wrong too.

There could be a case of better the devil you know and hopefully some of the regulars will be taking it alittle easy before the finals proper. But knowing the swans that's highly unlikely too as facts are no one in that team could afford to drop off because of the depth they have.

It all points to a disaster for us which we are used too.
I can't see us winning but if we do......
The club that keeps giving.

Should play Kingy just so he can smash some heads in, then sub him off after 5 minutes.

Disagree. North are flakey and very beatable. Would be an easier game than having to play Port in Adelaide or Freo in Perth.
Anyhow , let's worry about that after we beat The Ducks.
