I didn’t see any of the game, was at dinner, for mine both teams move the ball quickly and both are relentless when they don’t have it. Difference being as you say “Pies have the skill”, Tigers don’t so it becomes “chaos”. Pies need to work at maintaining the rage, the last 2 weeks after great opening qtrs they’ve let the opposition kick 5-6 goals in the 2nd. Whilst they won both games the Bombers nearly got them. On a side note the food at Chinchin in Flinders lane is beautiful.

Collingwood have expanded Richmond’s game plan by introducing skill to it.

It amazes me that clubs still don’t turn up mentally to games, Port and the Dees would be the top 2 without a doubt. A lot comes down to the clubs leaders, but it’s all right because we can always call them “great clubman”.

At the airport biding my time before the flight. My presence was clearly the difference when we played the Swans and am hoping for a win again tomorrow. Hoe many changes for both sides since lasts years semi final?

Ben Brown better contested mark than Hogan and can actually kick from outside 50.

Big difference between getting a game and taking the team fwd, hence why they’re no longer in the team.

Hibberd?? Can’t be serious.

Only one there is Howe, and he was going regardless.

Look at the Pies. Cox and DeGoey. No way we’ll have pick 1.

Prefer Whitfield.

Richmond’s game plan but with skill, that’s why they flogged them in last years prelim.

Lots of quality mids who can use the ball foot.

Hibberd has 1 year left but should be paid out. Garlett also to go. Jones should play the remainder off the season if fit, the other 3 should make way for the kids. I don’t subscribe to the rebuild theory, I honestly believe we can be next year where we all thought we would be this season.

When did Hogan ever dominate a big game.

It’s an industry super ?

He’s got 1 year left on contract....

I don’t regret the Watts or Hogan trades and I don’t think I’d regret him going either.

Serious question, thoughts on Petracca?

Let’s scrap the logo while we’re going.

Time to mix it up, TMac back up fwd, won’t win playing the way we’re going.

If Brandon Ellis was playing for us tonight would that swing the game in our favour? What about Prestia, Broad or Edwards? Balta, Stack, Higgins or Baker? Tigers game plan as mentioned earlier relies on speed and pressure, and on current form being us getting pantsed by the Saints and Tigers beating Port at home missing five of their best doesn’t look good for us. We clearly don’t have as many skilled ball users as Collingwood but we need to do what they did and match Richmond’s pressure, there will be no excuses for not doing that. We need to lay some big bone crunching tackles and hurt them. Starting with Jones, line someone up and clean them up....fairly. Pushing and shoving equates to nothing. Our intensity must be there for four quarters or don’t bother at all. And the ability to hit the scoreboard would go a long way to winning this game. Id love to know what Jones has done if anything with regards to getting the guys up for this game. Carn the Demons.

I feel your pain, but I’ll be going all the same. Coming back to Melbourne also allows me to catch up with friends and family.

Tigers are a good side but not highly skilled, unlike Collingwood. Look what the Pies did to them last year in the prelim. We need to play like we did against Geelong in the elimination tomorrow night if we are to be any chance. Our tackling that night hurt Geelong, our intensity overwhelmed them. Right now we’re no chance so to be any chance we need to beat them at their own game. Demons for the win, I’m not done with this year yet.

I would of thought that playing in a team that had a great back 6 and playing in a premiership he’d know quite a bit. He would of played against some great setups and have some insight into what works and what doesn’t. He may not necessarily be the best but surely he’s no mug.

Who’s left, I’d drop both Jones and Lewis but it won’t happen. ANB is the best of what’s left in terms of experience until AVB/Hannan are good to go.
