  • I’d play Balta v Dees. Sub him off at 3/4 time…or get him an apartment next to the ground and make sure he is tucked in bed by 10pm

    • imagine jacinta if we did this ?

  • Doubt there will be many changes apart from Ryan (injured) & Balta (curfew)

    • I don't think we'll ever see (curfew) next to a players name ever again lol

  • The key to the match will whether Richmond can apply enough pressure to Melbourne's midfield to pressure forward entries and to create turnovers. The more than likely that Melbourne will win the clearance battle.

  • Dees will be up for this one. Think we only win by 20-30

  • Trainor to start to get the job on Kosi Pickett

  • Cant send Sims in to ruck against Gawn

  • Can Nank get a hold of Max Gawn finally this week? I know Gawn was last week but Nankervis has had a better season. I feel like Nank run him into the ground be physical and get him this week.

  • The Dees are actually very small up front, with JVR their only key forward (and he's also second ruck). Probably means Trainor will come into the 22 for Balta.

    • Petty has killed us before and he played well last week. JVR got dropped, doubt he comes back given they won.

  • This is our bloody Grand Final for once.

  • Vlaustin will put Kozzy on the first flight over to WA.

I thought it was a D/land post when i started reading it

I like reading what the other clubs supporters think and say about the next game It’s great other clubs have doubts as well.

Thanks for this and any others in The future


They seem like rather sensible and "normal human" type thinkings. I can't imagine a Collingwood fan page would read like that haha I don't usually mind Tigers supporters, yes they won lots of flags recently but in general I remember they had long stretches at the bottom too didn't they?

Looking forward to this game, should be interesting, will be good to see a few of the young recent top draft picks go head to head too.

These threads can take a bit of time so really appreciate you starting them up again😁.

They are a rather unimaginative lot: No derision. No sniping. No faux arrogance. No humour. Not much for us to push back on!

They are no fun at all!🤷🏻‍♀️

In other words another sensible lot you could have a beer with? I’ve been to plenty of Richmond melb games via an MCC mate and the crowd always seemed ok (maybe coz we mostly lost). Compared to Collingwood games …:: (I’ll never go to one again ever, unless it’s a GF. Heard too many shocking stories from the 23 QF)

Too sensible for me!

At least the Pies version of this thread gives us plenty of ammo to fire back.

Some argy bargy is good but looks unlikely from Tiggy fans.

No fun at all.

btw, I tried to PM you some info but received a msg was you aren't accepting PM's

I had a quick look at 'The Punt Road End' forum. Similar tone to that in the o.p.

Found a couple with a bit of humour:

  • Petty coming into form w/out Van Rubber Band and Bailey Selfish playing. Who can stop him?

  • Dow kicked a goal - that'll guarantee him another 5 games at least.

  • I am not buying the Gray love....

    • Same, raw as sushi. No Dylan Grimes that’s for sure.

Because of that experience, I wouldn't now go to any Collingwood game again (and won't get in to our GFs anyway). The mass behaviours were truly appalling and upsetting.

Don’t be mistaken, don’t be misled,
They toast their bread but not their head.
They scream out “ball!” with beer in hand,
Then start a brawl in Shame Warne's stand.

The filters on 'Land don't let me publish most of their trash.

Lukewarm Tigers banter. They are still admiring the three premiership cups from 2017,2019 & 2020 !

Wouldn't you

My only worry as a Tigers supporter would be Tasmania stuffing up the draft but if they go first pick this year and trade out another 28 year old for a low first they'll be set nicely for a rebound in 2-3 years

Only made finals twice (winning one final each time) between 1982-2013.

and, from memory, the two years they made finals matthew richardson - their talismanic tasmanian tall - was injured?

i remember matthew knights had an incredible final to get them over the line one year

I'm sure we could do better. We're just too nice.

Bailey Fridge. He's gone cold.

Jacob van Ruined. Demon's forward system wrecked a good young player.

'50 shades lighter'.

Tom Lynch can be officially demoted to 'the other Tom Lynch'.

Hopper must surely be BTD: 'bulk trash disposal'.

Not sure Jacinta would be bothered, but it would be funny if they had to use the sub before 3/4 time and were left one short due to the ankle bracelet going off.

I hope the Demon Army wrote the text. We don't want the teams running a banner that reads:

'Lets wee for Jett'

Collingwood supporters are worse because they have an airy confidence and it's hard to talk back to them. Richmond supporters though are generally a few more notches down the IQ radar.

They made the Prelim in 95. I was there that day at Waverly. Miserable day. Geelong pumped them. But Richmond supporters were singing the song in the final minutes because they'd had such a great year. It gave me goosebumps. Funnily enough one of the most vivid football memories I have. Tigers supporters outnumbered Cats about 10 to 1 that day.

Keen for an update on this thread.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
