Does that make us the Rebels and Eddie Darth Vader?

Yes. Yes it does. 

And we all know it was the Ewoks who overcame the Stormtroopers in the end.

Official crowd: 94,959 at the MCG . Little disappointing when so many could not get a ticket. Take it the MCC didn't all turn up .

Saw a couple of photos from mates and MCC had ~3000 empty in the top deck

 

1. As they say, there can be only one loser in football.

2. Having said that, Richmond cheated by system, byes and fourteen days breaks are a penalty on the top team.

There was so much hype about it filling up and being a lock-out that I reckon a lot of people were scared off.

If we make it next week though...


Collingwood will be praying for a West Coast win tomorrow. 16 clubs will be praying for a Dees win.

Apparently according to MMM

I was listening to it on the radio and it’s what they said was happening. 

Collingwood have been very impressive. Cox scares me. I just can’t see how we stop him. He destroyed us last time we played them too. 

Expect that from MMM. 

You need  to pressure mids and effect delivery and then you actually need someone to go up with him. Neither happened tonight.

One game in the last 28 days. Interesting how flat they looked against a team coming off a six day break. 

Worse, they get 8 sleeps to recover before the GF.

I'll take your word for it, as an apparent expert Cox wrangler 

Nah, just the one between my legs. Sorry if you can't relate.

No Martin no Richmond.

Forget just current day. He’s one of the most overrated players of all time.

Are you guys serious? Rance is a great, he just had a bad night. 

Tell me you wouldn’t have him in our side.

Look out

If we're lucky enough to make it then a Coll v Melb GF will be chockers

Hate to say it, but I think I actually like Cox.

So, the old enemy awaits!  We just gotta get it done tomorrow!!

Tell them how it is done, Bazz.   Nev up to kick the winning goal deep into time on Q4?

I must say I did consider going (MCC) but couldn’t go early and didn’t relish the thought of standing all night.   Over hyped.

And the winner tomorrow only really gets 6 given the need to travel. Not well planned, Gill.

I’m no Collingwood fan but I have to say I loved that. The Richmond fawning all year has been spew worthy. Seeing them trudge off was the best thing ever.

Agree Nasher.

The pre-finals bye will be looked at, but Richmond's last month going into the finals wasn't great.

3 point win over Geelong, 8 point win over Essendon and a 3 point win over the Dogs (which they should have lost), around a thrashing of GC.

He's good, not great, and he had an appalling night. For someone of his ability, that wasn't good enough.

The result didn't surprise me tonight.

Despite denials by a few on here Collingwood are a good team and started to show it towards the end of last year.

The Tiges have had a good run without a true forward structure and it caught them out.

They're a good unit but if their champs don't fire they're in trouble.

Reiwoldt was the only one to fire a shot tonight, the house of cards crumbled.

There is a reason they went all out to get Lynch, it's the same reason we should keep Hogan.

As much a the game changes, tall forwards who kick goals are worth their weight in gold.

Always have been, always will be...

 

Great to see Storm into another GF....

He seems to have a lot of “bad nights” for a supposed great. Lost count of the number of times he gets exposed 1v1.

He’s a good player sure but the bloke isn’t fit to clean Scarlett’s boots. Annoys me when he gets placed in the same conversation.

I wrote on Demonland after the Bulldog match that the Tigers are beatable. That's why I would have preferred to play them should we win tomorrow. Collingwood are the smokey fairy tale story of 2018. The Dees have stolen the fairy tale so far and long may it continue but after tonight I rate Collingwood.

I reckon that's unfair.

We haven't played yet and we still have more wins against top 8 sides so far this season than Collingwood does.

They got into the finals on the back of a draw which gave them 14 games against the bottom 10.

Full credit to them for making a Grand Final with the injuries they've had, but going the "well I always said they were good" route is unfair when the criticism of them was completely warranted given their record.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
