Richmond vs Collingwood

Featured Replies

I'm looking forward to watching a really good game of footy today and although Richmond have looked pretty good the last few weeks I'd be backing the Pies.

What do people think?

It wouldn't be a big game without a little quote from Eddie...

'For Richmond, it's their biggest game in 30 years. For Collingwood, it's round 4'.

What a [censored].

God almighty I hope the Tiges beat them after hearing that. What a clown comment.

I feel like it's just the sort of game that Collingwood win.

Will be good to see some very good midfields go at it. A key could be keeping the oppostion's half back line accountable. To this end I think Collingwood has the advantage - with blokes like Blair, Sidebottom, Sinclair and Elliot roaming.

 

I hope Collingwood destroy them.

Nothing cheers me up like whinging tigers supporters.


Should be a cracker of a game and a huge crowd. The only bigger crowd this round will be for Dees v GWS - not!!!

Forward lines - pretty much even

Midfield - even, but Pies have much more big game maturity

Back lines - this is where the Pies will win he game. Tiges are still a bit suspect down back.

Pies by 15 points.

However, I hope they lose. The only thing better than Hird's face when Bombers lose is Eddie's beetroot explosions when the Pies lose.

Go Tigers. I can't stand Collingwood. My husband supports them and supposed to be there today. He is home with the "man flu" so I am being subjected to these awful commentators.

Such a mistake riddled game. Neither of these teams are looking all that flash in this half, although admittedly Pies have a few out.

 

Petterd having a bit of a mare. Bit of a squib and some shocking fumbles.

High-pressured game and Collingwood, somehow, hit the front having been largely controlled through the middle.

This is like a Queens Birthday match, insert Richmond in place of Melbourne. I.e. found out under pressure.

Love watching Richmond cop it to be honest.


Agree it's funny listening to them call the game.

Cheering for the ball to bounce badly etc, been enjoying it.

Fell asleep at half time, woke up 25 into the third.

Me asleep - Pies by 49.

Me awake - Tigers by 27.

I'm very confused at the moment!

Good Nanna nap 45?? :)

They have a problem when the game is turning. Hardwick makes crucial mistakes and the senior players start playing for glory and forget about team or the modern day term structures.

Will be interesting to see if Hardwick learns enough in time or the Tiges will come up wanting. At the moment he is not a good match day coach, he's too reactive too late and doesn't seem to read the game.


I have a feeling that Neeldy left his MFC Remedial Playbook in the rooms after last week's game and Hardwick picked it up instead of his own at the Main Break.

He struggled manfully with the bizarre contents until the third quarter was almost over when the penny eventually dropped. By then of course it was way too late.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
