Game Day Thread - Tigers V Pies

[TonyJewell'sPiercing]

It was a massive game.
Both teams vying for the eight.
It is the first time that we have finished in the eight so far this year.
Rising from twelfth at the end of round six.

Funny comment from Fly in the presser:

"We're 8 dates into a relationship, and they're more like married with 3 kids"

 

[artball]

anyone else notice how some of Colonwoods jumpers looked like they'd shrunk in the wash ?

the little bottle blondes, Dicey Moores, etc ...

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but reading from the first few pages, one would think we were playing terribly and lynch is useless.

Well done Tiges, great win and Lynch BOG

It’s fair to say not all of PRE embraces imperfection like true Richmond men do.

And those kids are named 2017, 2019 and 2020.

Yes I made mention of it during the game. Little bottle blond looked like he was wearing his 8 yo brothers top and his Uncle Massive Merv’s shorts.

I noticed this too. It’s particularly noticeable with the long sleeved jumpers.

Not sure if anyone has said it, but did anyone notice the Collingwood supporter on the bigscreen @ the G? I think it was the 3rd qtr, but most importantly, what the 2 x young Collingwood supporters were doing behind him?

Surprised they left it on the screen for everybody to w?atch for so long before transferring the live supporter footage.

I still think it's a deliberate strategy. Not that we gift goals to the opposition when we have the game won. But I think we'd rather take the foot off the pedal and win by 3 or 4 fewer goals than risk more injury. Reckon we've been doing it since 2017. We have had so few really big wins in that time. I think we just don't value percentage and I agree. It's a punt but I think a smart one. By the end of the season, generally, percentage is unlikely to matter much.
And it also extends to losing games by more than we might have once we've lost it.
The concern is that this year, it might matter more than normal. Melbourne aside, there could be a logjam for the next 6 to 8 spots on the ladder. This may be why we went so hard last week.
Interesting times ahead.

With the way the game is played and coached these day's, nothing would surprise me anymore, fair assertion there ONEFIDDYNINE !

Seriously, the first few pages of this thread are embarassing. The usual suspects too.

 

[22nd Man]

Selfish and stupid bolton.....a somple pass for a simple goal and ya haf to have a shot.....straight down the other wnd for a pies goal.......we should be 6 goals up but we just keep doin dumb *smile*

Repeat offender. Got so many bases covered. Needs to tidy this up.

 

[TonyJewell'sPiercing]

Watching the replay.
Trent's brilliance and genius.
One of the greatest players of all time.
Early clearance.
Breaks away from his opponent Daicos, the two other C'wood players collide with each other in Trent's wake.

is it just me or does McCreery bear a striking resemblance to the Wicked Witch of the West?

Gina Rinehart?

 

[22nd Man]

Yep. Daicos' both overrated IMO.

Who'd ever.think a Collingwood player would overrated?

 

[22nd Man]

Sterling effort by Cotch.
One of the greatest Richmond players of all time.
13 contested possessions.
9 score involvements.
Importantly, in only 88 minutes of the total 120 minutes of game time.

One of the apps footy lite or AFL app I'm sure has average age of teams fielded,but I can't find it ,seen it accidentally once.

When you were searching for tractors?
