Re: We should be shattered....
I hope Richmond win it.
But yes, we should be shattered.
Selection table and coaching as well as poor kicking cost us finals.
It is anyone's for the taking this year.

Carlton, 1995. Round 9. vs St Kilda.ss1986 wrote: I couldn't name a team that has ever made a GF after being 15 goals down in a half to a team that finished outside the 8.
Ok, it wasn't 15 goals the difference at halftime, but 44 to 5 was as good as given the conditions that day. We ended up winning 11.14 to 3.6. Carlton lost two games for the year and end up premiers, we finished 14th.
It was actually the second time in three years we held the eventual premiers to just 3 goals at Waverley in the wet. Did the same thing to West Coast in 1992, but we made the finals that year.

If Ninthmond is leading late in the last quarter of the GF, the 4 Horsemen of the apocalypse will arrive, signalling the end before they can claim the cup.degruch wrote:Richmond winning a premiership this year would surely be one of the first signs of the Apocalypse, wouldn't it?thejiggingsaint wrote:Richmond will be premiers. Put your house on it!
For my 2 cents, they're unlikely to make it through a prelim, not a chance if they make a GF...I can't see how they've made it this far!
"And there was a great noise, the angel of death did blow his trumpet and summoned the 4 horsemen. When the tiger threatens to rise, the Lion will come to deny it and then it will lie with the lamb." Revelation 2:27
"I am Lord Shiva, bringer of death, destroyer of worlds. Bring me the hide of the tiger (from the Boardroom) and I will deliver ye all from the endless torment of a Richmond premiership"

"And the concrete bowl fills with yellow and black bile
On the banks of the muddy river
Hysteria in anticipation of the great victory
Torn down and falls in flames into ash."

See, nothing to be worried about. It has been foretold. No Premiership for you, Ninthmond fans!
I think you're pretty tough, don't I?

Yes...exactly what I was thinking.
And yes, I would be shattered...after the Bulldogs last year, the two most hapless league cloggers of the AFL (aside from a few franchise clubs) lob in for a lazy couple junktime premierships whilst we're 'rebuilding'. I'll be sh!tty as.

Re: We should be shattered....
Richmond will play the prelim at THEIR home ground. 95k+ in attendance. GWS or WC, doesn't matter who the Tigers play, they WILL win. Why? Because they are fit, focussed and READY! Having Martin in the side helps too I guess!
If they win the PF, they can beat whoever they have to in a GF! I for one, hope they do! Go Tigers!

Re: We should be shattered....
Richmond will make the GF.Their pressure is impressive and where they are better than us is they have 3 A Grade players - Dusty, Cotchin, Rance, and A- in Jack . Whether they can beat Syd or Adelaide remains to be seen but GF throw up odd results - 1997, 1998, 2001, 2008, 2016

I'm not shattered. I am looking forward to next year. Good luck to the Tigers if they can pull it off but I cant really imagine anyone standing in Sydney's way.

You're joking? Of course? Don't let envy and pettiness cloud your judgement. Richmond ARE the real deal! I've got $500 on them!

Re: We should be shattered....
I think Richmond is going all the way...you need a lot of luck and to be injury free and they have it all going for them...no chance they don't at least make the granny...I'm hoping they blow a lead and get rolled in the final minutes of the GF.
I'm bitter and twisted, I hated seeing the dogs win and I'll hate seeing the tigers win...am I jealous? Yes... yes I f****** am! Lol
All we need now is for Melbourne to win it next year! Then the Bombers the year after followed by the Blues and Ill be in the psych ward!

REALLY? Does another club's success effect you THAT much? The Saints had THREE, yes THREE bites at the cherry and were unsuccessful. Was I shattered? Yes! Does it make me resent another club achieving what we couldn't? Errrrrrrrrrr NO!

Think about it. I've seen my saints in five GFs for zero wins. First there was Keddie's last quarter 4 goal blitz, after nearly being taken off before 3/4 time in 1971. In 1997, we lose Vidovic and Everitt at the death. Nicky's dad dies in GF week and Loewie's sister attempts suicide on the eve of the match, prompting Stan to consider pulling him out of the game. Adelaide kicks 14.1 in the second half and Shane Ellen (Yes Shane farking Ellen kicks five!).
2009 and the numerous misses, Schneider's non free kick in front of goal when scores were tied in the dying minutes, and of course, that toe poke. Then the Milney bounce in 2010, not forgetting Roo's rolling shot heading through before taking a final hop allowing Maxwell to touch it. Had it gone through it was game over. Beaten by drug cheating in the replay. Beaten by drug cheating the year before as well.
Sorry to trigger so many bad memories, but if something unlucky can happen to deny a flag, it'll happen to St.Kilda. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to run a warm bath. Keep the razors away, thanks.
Still having nightmares.
I was happy enough to credit Jarman with 7 goals as he was a champion but to gift Shane Ellen 5 goals that really hurt.

Re: We should be shattered....
Haha! Nope...why would I be wrong? I can't see much special in their armory, aside from Dusty, up against an array of monsters Sydney, Adelaide, and to a lesser extent (due to injury) GWS have to offer. They're playing great as a team at the moment, and they have a ton of good will behind them, but Richmond is always only one loss away from a complete crisis. Still, the Bulldogs did it last year, and in another year of pretty average footy they're always a chance I guess.thejiggingsaint wrote:degruch wrote:Richmond winning a premiership this year would surely be one of the first signs of the Apocalypse, wouldn't it?thejiggingsaint wrote:Richmond will be premiers.

Re: We should be shattered....
Bro, i wouldn't call the first 3 GFs there odd results at all. 97 was always a 50/50 game, 98 sure Norf blew it but the Crows were brilliant and 2001 was a 50/50 as well but the Lions played it to perfection(one of the greatest GFs too but often overlooked in the rankings).older saint wrote:Richmond will make the GF.Their pressure is impressive and where they are better than us is they have 3 A Grade players - Dusty, Cotchin, Rance, and A- in Jack .

While I wouldn't mind if the Tiges won it - my dad follows them (he saw the 1967 GF live) and I have numerous friends who support them - I can't see them playing well enough to beat either Sydney or the Crows (though the later would be possibly an 'easier' opponent on GF day). The GWS/ Eagles game is still up for grabs and either of them - especially can win the PF. I have a soft spot for WC as my third cousin Liam Duggan plays for them.
Tigers are playing on a massive wave of momentum and fan hype but who knows if thats good enough to beat buddy and his mates. I'll halfway to Everest base camp on GF day but will try and follow with interest if the Tiges or Eagles are iin it.

Richmond or the Eagles winning wouldn't be the kick in the guts like last year was - have never seen any footage of that game and very few pics only a couple by accident. I didn't know who won the NS until about April this year lol.
