The first game this round won't be pretty....and I couldn't be happier. I think.Richmond will cop a belting. Think the Eagles will win by 53.

Priddis out.

 

Tiges beat them over there in 2015.

 

Eagles by 42.

For our sake next week, I genuinely hope the Tigers get up tonight.

Why on earth would any Demon supporter want us to play against them after an entire week of media shitestorm following a belting and 1-3 season start? Those are the exact games we always manage to lose.

If they win tonight next week will follow a familiar script: Tigers will get way ahead of themselves after defeating grand final contenders then waltz into next week expecting a walkover. It's equally as predictable from the Tigers, and would be the perfect chance for us to strike a "surprise" win.

I'm looking forward to our game of course but tonight could be interesting (West Coast vs Rich*) along with a few other notable encounters ... Adel/Syd Sat night,  North/Freo (Sun Twilight) & the early game on Sunday (GWS/Port)

The Hawks/Saints match might be a decent game if St Kilda can play as well as they played last week.  The free-to-air games on Saturday are a bit dodgy though ... I can see a couple of big wins to the Cats & Doggies.

 

*As DA noted above, the Tigers won the encounter in WA last season but I reckon the Eagles will win this time around.

Anyone see that play with Fostin tackled well after he lost the pill? Semi sling tackle. No free. Rance pushed in back while on ground then someone sat on his back and rolled over him then he was clocked in the head by Kennedy. 3 frees on the one player. NOTHING!

Watch as the Umps put the whistle away on the Tiges to get Weagles up by four or five by the main break. So predictable.

Thank goodness the players aren't wearing those too-tight short shorts they showed on Foxtel from the 1987 game.

A dropped mark against Rance paid lol

results in a goal... AFL is a joke. The same will happen to us on Sunday

These umpires are disgusting

Richmond bring me so much joy.

Tigers are playing like us from a few years aho at the moment. 21-4 inside 50s. Tigers suck and it's glorious. 

Round 4 and its season over, still think Hardwick will be the next coach sacked. Big payout coming up.

Richmond's turnovers are terrible. Make ours look half decent

That last passage of play leading up to the fitty metre penalty was far too easy for WC. How on earth did this team beat Freo/Hawthorn/Sydney last year.

What are the chances we turn both collingwood's and Richmond's seasons around? ??

And Hardwick told us last week that the Tigers were the best kicking side in the comp.

Don't go there Song, I'm currently in a good place.

Richmond looking very Melbournesque

They are just so... average.

Richmond are horrible but these umpires are just as bad.

Their drafting has been horrible. Taylor Hunt, Andrew Moore, Ben Lennon, Corey Ellis, Shaun Grigg, Shaun Hampson and the list goes on..

31 inside 50's to 6 before half time! It is getting ugly. 

Before the game Hardwick was reminded by reporters about Richmonds recent form over west (which to be fair has been good), it's as if he thought it was just going to happen again. I would of thought a response of something along the lines of "it counts for nothing" or "our form has been poor this year and we need to be at our best tonight" would of been more appropriate. There was no sense of urgency in the way Hardwick spoke, not sure if he's lost the players or just simply has himself fooled.

Hampson crippled. Might miss round 5. Wonder if Vickers is scared of what WCE might do to him if he moves into the ruck, especially after his hit on Big Cox a could of years ago.

And he's a staging actor as well

Tigers are handball happy tonight Wise. Might work some of the time coming off HB but as you know you eventually have to hit targets at the end of some early good use of handball into the clear. Failing pretty badly at this part so far. Undoing all of their good early work.
