Tiger Tough

[Munga]

Not gonna be easy next week.

[Quixote]

I'm hearing ya - they have improved quite a bit.

However, our biggest worry is Friday night.

Malthouse was saying he might rest players if there isn't much in it for the Pies to win.

Adelaide are hitting worrying form.

IF the Pies can get up - we make the eight.

No doubts. Tiges will not beat us.

[Unforgiven]

Hard tag on foley, I think we should come out and be physical.

Isolate Gherig in the aquare as well, Hopefully Kosi has a big game. Ferguson to play on Pettifer. Gonna miss Attard this game, he would've had a range of opponents we could've used him on. Mini should be brought into tag someone like Delidio.

[my les foote]

If they win today, beating us would push them from 2nd draft pick to 3rd.

But if we have to rely on Richmond tanking to make the finals then we really don't deserve do be there.

[casey scorp]

For sure that we can't assume a win against Richmond. But on balance, we should be able to get up.

[Oh When the Saints]

Richmond have played some VERY good footy over the past month or so.

Next week will be a hard game to win.

final scores:

tigers 17.17.119 def Bombers 13.14.92

not a gimme game for us this week


so bombers r out of the finals race..8th position is between crows and us.

lions a slight chance but a wouldnt think so

cmon pies!!

[BackFromUSA]

that's the result we needed

bombers out of the race

and a wake up call that next week is NOT an automatic 4 points

by Friday night we shall know our destiny ... whether the leap into the 8 is back in our hands or not

what about Freo? they are 5 percentage points behind Adelaide, so if Adelaide got belted, we lose, Brisbane lose and Freo belt Port they may make it.

And I may vote Labour also.......

[brown-coat]

Richmond will defeat us.

Bookmark this thread. Ross will not want us to make the finals this year and decrease our preseason length.

We are tanking.

Thank your mother for the rabbits.

Brisbane wont make it..they can thank Port for that

Geelong will be mega-hungry..wont want to lose 2 in a row going into finals

richmond have some good run with their younger players, but their skill level is seriously very very very shocking. if we bring our game, we should win. imo.

[midas_touch]

It will mean nothing if Adelaide win on Friday night....

[Dal'sGal26]

Watched the whole game tonight and they played awesome, besides Richo missing like 10000 goals !

u sure it wasent buddy franklin?

[redwhite&blackblood]

Tigers will lose their priority pick if the beat us this week. they currently have 3 wins and a draw a fourth win puts them over the 16pts makr for a priority pick.

[Liam_G]

Ninja edit yo. They still get their priority pick at the END of the Draft Round 1 don't they. My mistake.

[Dan Warna]

regardless the tigers are no walk in the park.

we should have learned our lesson when we let Footscray back into the game.

as for collingwood, IMO they are as up and down as us, and just a fraction more consistent.

[Mr X from the West]

The psychology of this match favours Richmond, I reckon.

Wallace will say to them "These guys have pumped us every time they've played us in the past 4 years...we are effectively their bitches. Now we have an opportunity to exact some revenge and knock them out of the finals and regain some of the respect we've lost over the last 10 games against them. Now get out there".

I wish we were playing someone else this weekend.

[St DAC]

If we can't beat Richmond we don't deserve to play finals, regardless of whether Collingwood beat Adelaide or not. Sure, they played well against Essendon, but really their best is nowhere near as good as our best, and we should win comfortably. If we don't, that's an indictment of our players and coaching staff.

I'd still like Foley at the Saints, though ...

[RooandKosi]

Bull*&^%$ it will be a piece of PISS!!

we are 2000 times the team richmond are!! FFS have some faith. We shouldve beaten a top 2 side last week had them on the ropes.

We will smash richmond christ sake COME ON i know we may not be playing our best but to say RICHMOND (the worst team in the comp for the last 26 years) may beat us?? US???

come on.

It's OK to be confident about our prospects this week but your comments are completely over the top....it will be a real battle this week, and the psychology of the game will play a much bigger part than it usually does, especially if Richmond get in front on the scoreboard.
