Tonight’s game is making last night’s game look good! What a shocker!

Well if the Tiges aren't capable of giving the pies a game I hope the pies give them a belting.

Do you think they would do better with Dusty, Broad, Short and Hopper?

Gee Richmond look like a shadow of its former self. 

Collingwood just run and get free for each other. They look so quick and are making the tigs rush their kicks. 

Jack Riewoldt looks so past it, but knowing our luck of course he'll probably find his form when we cop them.

Richmond's kicking is sub standard, and their defensive pressure absent. I cannot believe it is only 20 points.

How do you stop Collingwood?

You get the ball first and keep possession until scoring.

They run in waves, so you nearly need to man up and commit to running all game. If you stand and watch you lose.

You need to also physically pressure Nick Daicos.

Just once will a team slow the ball down against Collingwood and make them defend. What’s wrong with going slower and longer into their defence when they have a hole in terms of size there?

I feel like we are all being forced to watch them play every weekend and hear all week about how they play, only to watch the games where it seems like the opposition coach has never seen their game plan before.

The Richmond midfield is still terrible. Hard to see them as top 8 let alone top 4.

This is what I could never understand about Taranto and Hopper. They both played all year last year in the same GWS midfield - which looked well off the pace. How getting them to Richmond this year was going to make them so much better always baffled me.

Richmond like us last Friday night lucky to be as close as they are at half time. 
 

Collingwood’s running backs / midfield group are the best in the comp in my opinion. A very strong team and going to be hard to beat this year.

Short definitely. Hopper maybe. Dusty is close to the end so he'd have to turn back the clock. Broad is a decent defender so would help repel the tide. So overall yes they would be improved but not sure how much difference it would make tonight. Pies bad goal kicking keeping the Tiges in it.

The Pies are pretty good I have to say.

Their awareness of each other’s positioning, smarts, and skills…

Tigers are just applying enough pressure to cause them to rush goal kicking - plus some lucky moments…

I think you have to play the same style 

Waves running forward…

Also very disciplined and structured in defence (in fact all over the ground) - numbers at the ball / contest but generally only one contests the ball, the others ready to receive and run it forward

Might be a good thing if the pies go undefeated for half a year playing this brand of footy, it will definately take it's toll. No team is fir enough to play like this all year then in finals I don't care who you are. Would love to hear all the hype about them to see them go out in straight sets in the finals coz they are buggered.

Yes but they are running in waves from every line. As you say 2 receivers running forward ready to collect. 
each line has exactly the same mindset
