Especially if it's at the MCG. They only play there once all season.

That's amazing how that happens seeing as there are four teams whose home ground it is and another four or so who play some home games there.

If we lose to Brisbane next week on our home ground it will be an absolute disgrace and a worse loss than the essendon one. We should be able to beat that rabble by 10 goals.

Surely we're past the need to condemn disasters before they happen these days.

they'll be looking to 'rebound' next week. we seem to get that a lot.

Geez the lions are copping a pasting. Drag there confidence even lower so they are flat next week.

The tigs are up by 5 points at 1/2 time and the fans are getting excited. We all know the swans will roll over them after 1/2 time and deflate them. By the way I just came home from work and that was around 8 and a tigs fan in a jumper and hat was on my train. Not sure if he was coming home from the game or not. 

Fox had a great graphic last week which showed how Richmond tend to stay in games until about half way through Q3 then completely fall apart. Their scoreworms from multiple games this year all painted the same picture.

I'd bet anything Richmond lose this, and by no narrow margin.

Hopefully their rebound is amazing as Gold Coast's was.

We've got to worry about the dogs first, then shift our attention to the Lions after, hey?

Correct disposal doesn't exist anymore...

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Bugger off Richmond.

I love Richmond failing but I'd love even more Sydney to lose.

richmond's pressure is great, this is good to watch.

[SaberFang 7,151]

I want to see Sydney lose purely because I don't want the teams above us continually winning, but... I also want Richmond to lose. All the time. It's just amazing.

Not a great fan of the Swanettes either...

Me either, but it's Richmond.  My hatred for them is higher than that of the Swans.

Truly the only positive outcome at this point is a draw.

Or there's a power outage and they have to call the game a no contest so nobody gets any points

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Just as an aside, Luke Parker has royally screwed my Supercoach team tonight.  I was ranked 93... and his rubbish performance, and my dumb decision to make him captain, will finish off my season.  Not happy Jan!

[whatwhat say what 22,976]

impressive, wiseblood.

 

swans-tigers is good to watch, and that's all that matters.

I was ranked 10th last week.  Thought I was going okay.  All gone to pot now!

Or Richmond's, or Collingwood's.

That's three wins, IMO, against sides on the "rebound".

Notwithstanding what happens tomorrow, no excuses next week.

[Delusional demon 82 1,197]

As if I need another reason to hate Collingwood.... farked my footy tips tonight 

[whatwhat say what 22,976]

swans have not been that impressive tonight.

 

they've done 'enough'. sort of like the hawks earlier today.

Struggled to beat Brisbane a fortnight ago, too, plus couldn't shake Essendon in the first half last week.

Yet, unfortunately, despite playing in close games, Hawthorn is 6-2 and Sydney could well be 7-1 in 10 minutes.

It's an even competition but not yet even enough I don't think.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

The Richmond game has been terribly over-umpired by paying far too many soft free kicks.

The result is they are missing other soft free kicks and immediately becoming far too inconsistent.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Dayne Beams out for the rest of the game, knee iced up, could possibly mean he misses next week.
