Yep, so goes from totally negative to 'finals' after one win over a team with injuries to key players and playing youth to rebuild - several 1st year draftees.

Moggies will be missing Arfa Clench, Cooliojollyhashme n Cryan.
Tigers will be missing the Cotchinator, Prestygiocomo, Grub n Lamblett with the Flossy one still a possible out.
Reckon we're slightly disadvantaged to start with. Throw in the burning vengeance factor plus a touch of the perform, respect factor to honour their saviour Frankie Costa n I think that if the Moggies can't get a five goal plus win tomorrow night. They might as well pack the season up as they're kidding themselves.
Tiges to win by 3 or 4 goals n *smile* Geelol.

IMO we are as undermanned as we were last week & took the Dogs mids to the cleaners in the 2nd half & thiers is deeper than GeeLOL's
Thought we physically overwhelmed the Bulldogs, in the midfield and in general. Geelong is a different beast.
With the players we have missing - this is a must win for Geelong. This is their chance. Pressure is on.
If they can't beat us now, they never will. For all of our ridiculing of Geelong, we have always found them to be a difficult opponent.
Geewhinge is a completely different equation to Footscray, plus we have Grimes out this week as well.
We can obviously win, but this is as big a challenge as last week was.
Reckon we might get a very different game plan from Geewhinge tonight. Moving it on a bit quicker and through the corridor a bit more. They won't hold it up as much as they usually do.
Just can't have that phoney Saltmine Scott, their free kick feining players etc. C'mon Richmond.
In regards to this Red I really liked our response to the dogs last week in the fundamental shift in how we tackle a player who plants both feets and drops prone face down once caught. I cant think of a free we gave for in the back and the dogs did a fair few dives on our tacklers.
I reckon our technique has developed for the in the back now let's make every ducking player hurt around the chops if they get a free for it.
I have noticed Geelong moving it on a bit quicker this year with the rule changes speeding up the game a bit.
They are a good team and they went close to winning it last year, but they know that being competitive means getting better each year.
We'll see how it goes but Geelong with the players we have missing will not be easy.

Off topic I know but I just saw the footage of Charlie Cameron dancing around at training on the ABC site.
I hope he is ok.
I actually found it quite disturbing!

On today's Afl footy show, they showed a 20 second highlight clip of Joel Duck Selwood.
In that exact 20 second clip, there were 3 free kicks.
No.1, he dives across Baker's legs.
In the same passage of play,
No.2 Then throws the ball to Guthrie. Who then hits Cameron on the lead.
No.3 with 6 people on the panel not one mentions the high hit on Mansel.
It dosent matter he got to the ball, his hip makes contact with Mansel's head.
I can guarntee you if that was Trent Cotchin all 3 would've been highlighted.

He we go again.
Cornes the fkknuckle praising Port Adelaide after there 5th bye in the first 8 rounds.
There 6 wins
North Ess Stkilda Carlton Adelaide and us.
Not bad draw for a team that finished on top.
They don't play Brisbane Richmond Geelong twice and they all finished in the top 4 last year.

Footy media is just a lot of talking heads who, from where I sit, seem to make little sense.
Not many in the media are able to provide the sorts of assessments and analysis that make for good footy discussions.
I miss Alf Brown's insights, but I'm long in the tooth.

Its funny, the rhetoric around us (at least up to the Bulldogs game) was that some were saying "they haven't beaten anybody".
When the same argument is brought up for other teams its "you can only beat whats in front of you".
So which is it???
Heard a few radio calls of Shai’s mark this week. Every single one of them *smile* all over BT’s lukewarm reaction. Can’t the supporters start a movement to remove BT from 7’s coverage and replaced with someone competent?
