GAMEDAY - Round 5

Featured Replies

Richmond Website -- BIG GUNS BACK-- HA HA HA.  !st game for Maric up against a fit and firing Max.

Deledio has only been kicking a full size football this week,1st game as well,underdone,must be desperate.(look who we have knocking the door down and can't get in)

If Tmac can hold Reiwolt this game has a thumping written all over it.

 

 

 

 

I have a sneaky feeling Dean Kent will turn it on tonight.

Don't know why...

I think Richmond will come out much like Port did last night, fired up and attempting to be tough. Much like Port I can't see them being able to sustain that sort of game for four quarters. We've seen when we stick to our game plan and style we win games, we can't get sucked in like we did against Essendon. We must win.

So glad Vince is back.

Free to air into Sydney, loving it.

Seems as though every second post is an each way bet. I think we will win and win well. 

Dees by 47

I hope he cleans up Martin. What sort of a name is 'Dustin' anyway?

Agree, another case of 1st qtr specialists. I agree, Tigers are mentally weak.

I think the maid thought of it...

 

Things that should be taken into account

We're in better form than them.

We have a better spread of talent then them.

We've bettered them in recent years.

Things that shouldn't be taken into account

We haven't won two in a row for a while.

That Richmond are 1-3 and want to win.

The betting odds.

Judging by the look of Martin's old man, I doubt very much that the family had a maid.

Maybe it had more to do with his Dad's fingerprints then...?

Or that they couldn't spell dustbin

Looking forward to Buggy going straight to Cotch and giving it to him all night. So much ammo for a sledge thanks Brooke ha.

Or we could just bring in Clint Bartram for this one particular game. I am sure he would have a few interesting choice of words to Cotchin.

That slimey fellow Martin loves to play against us, he's a flat track bully and has loved pushing us around. We need to show him and his long arm up early and often.

I'm not sure why he likes playing us.  Out of all his opponents there is only one he has a worst record against.  

Another poster mentioned "consistency" and this is the key.

I believe we'll win comfortably if we bring the right effort as a collective.  The Tigers' game-plan is rubbish in 2016 (too slow), they have an inferior ruckman, they have poor inside mids, they don't have a quality small back and at a time when small forwards are wreaking havoc they're deficient in that area too.

Gawn is pivotal and so are Viney, Tyson and Jones, who should get well on top early.  If Garlett, Kennedy and Kent are 'on' I predict this game could get ugly for Richmond.  I seriously don't rate them.  

Like all games, the midfield is the key.

I keep thinking about how this game would feel to the tigers. They've been finalists for the last 2 years ( or is it 3) they won  9 or ten games straight to get there last year including beating the swans and hawthorn. Coach is under the pump. I think they're a stronger side with Deledio back in the mix and I think they ill come out breathing fire. Expect Jack watts to come under some physical heat early. 

 Im excited, not as confident as some here, but excited about the test this will be. At least I think they have the grunt to withstand a physical challenge. Our footy style looks better, the pace of ball movement seems like its arrived. Hoping we can stamp ourselves as arriving!! ( we're a long way off "arrived" yet) 

Good point. It is sobering to remember that it was Adelaide & West Coast that smashed them recently. I too am looking forward to being there tonight but unlike some I expect it to be close.

Ha ha I only found out the history of those two last week.

 

My predictions:

The Dees crowd will roar when the bells start tolling.

Dees by 36 points.

2 in a row.

I will have a good night.

Dustin will have a bad night.

The 'When will we break these embarrassing records' thread will go into meltdown.

Watts will become the smiling assassin.

Love that Vince and Garlett are back, rested and full of beans. Both are capable match winners on their day.

Anyone know the running schedule for tonight? What time should we get there for the pre-game stuff?

Nervous   yes  Hope we do not take it like the Essondum game,   We should win ! but we should have beaten the bummers

that aside

we are playing better footy than for many years,   a loss to north (top of the ladder) by only 5 points and 2 credible wins

That's quite good form much better than the tigers,

Our players coming back are good additions to a winning team,

The Tigers changes smell of desperation to get back a winning culture and if either Maric or Delidio are underdone

or get injured again. Then the Tiges are in more shite than a Werribee Duck.

I expect to win, perhaps 20 points, but I have been wrong before, many times !

GO DEES !!    Give em HELL !!


No reason why we don't come out to play right from the first bounce like last week as well. Collingwood were revved up last week too and we played hard .It sets the tempo straight away Don't give this mob a sniff of the ball and run them off their legs.

Answering my own question:

6.41pm – Poem: Ode to Fallen Soldiers (Rupert McCall)
6.46pm – Creswick Lighthorse Troop to enter arena
6.52pm – Family of fallen soldier video piece
6.56pm – Family of fallen soldier to light cauldron on stage
6.58pm – Last Post to play
6.59pm – National Anthem to play
7.00pm – Joint banner to rise, Melbourne and Richmond break through together

 

The media fuss around Deledios return is funny since our ins are better than theirs and happen to be two guys that will cause Richmond fits - they cant stop small forwards like Jeffy and Vince will either run riot in an attacking role or shut down Cotchin.. and run riot anyway

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
