Footy pressure, and the demands, scrutiny, expectations.
IT Would give me anxiety.
I feel for buddy, and Clark.
It's important to have the right support

Your comment about if we can't make it you hope its one of Hawthorn or West Coast who take us out reminds me of a comment made by the great Jack Dyer back in '95. It was before the Geelong preliminary and he and Bob Davis did a thing out at Waverley. At the end of it Bob shook Jack's hand and said 'May the best team win.'DirtyDogTiger said:
Jack responded with 'I don't care about the BEST team, I just want Richmond to win!'
Still no word on whether buddy is expected back in one, two or three weeks.
Meanwhile there's s couple of injuries got the Hawks.
Really hope they win tonight

Talk/rumour of WC brownlow medallist a possible late withdrawal. Certainty may till the scale to Hawks midfield even with NicNat. Be a great gane. Conditions may suit the hard nosed and experience of the Hawks. Might be the close one.
Swans Vs Freo. Lots not giving the Swans a chance but I give them a sneaky chance of an upset.
The game if the round, score wise could be the Dogs vs Crows game. Could be a high scoring game. Soft spot for the Dogs considering lots of us , including me had them near the bottom after all their turmoil the off season and the Crows losing their coach have done a remarkable job not to fall away. I'm picking the Crows.
And all the way to the last game. Sunday. A long time to wait for ours vs North.
Their forward line worries me , especially if Goldstein gives his mids silver service . We need to get the match ups right and we will to support each other with the mids , ruck dropping back and helping out.
An open forward line for us, not allowing Hansen to drop off his man and take intercept /uncontested marks is also the key.
I don't know if I would risk Conca and or Griff. That goodness I'm not Dimma or a selector as to make the wrong/right call they will have to live by that /those decisions. I don't want Lennon or Lloyd to start as a sub, but I feel Newman will start and Lennon as sub as Lloyd has been sub last two. Could be wrong! Lowering our eyes and looking for the better option is going to be critical going I50 as will a good start and finish.
Also out of the two clubs, and it's my opinion, the pressure with be on the Tigers big time to get past this hurdle .
Can the coach and players cope with this pressure as Norths players will undoubtably mention this to our players if it doesn't go our way early, if we are behind and are missing shots on goals late.
Hope to see some of you tomorrow at the open training session.

Personally I see the Hawks win tonight. Pridus a possible out so there goes a lot of their grunt around the ball but despite this I see the Hawks being too strong even with him in the side. Will be interesting to see how Hodge goes about it early on.
Freo v Swans I see as being a tightish game but with Freo coming home with the choccies in that one.
Dogs v Crows I see being a blow out. It will be fairly even early but I just can't see the doggies going the distance in that one. After half time it could get ugly.
Now the Tiges v North. It will be very interesting. I don't see any major changes at all this week. I think we've been settled for a bit now and I just can't see Dimma being the coach he is doing anything dramatic. He's never been like that. I truly think we can absorb them early and run away with it later in the game. The boys will be hungry, very hungry and roo is on the menu this week. We will hunt and defeat them, causing their few fans many tears.

From an optimistic perspective, need the Hawks to win tonight so we get a home prelim.
Edit: as arlobill said above.
Want
1 Richmond
2 Freo
3 Hawks
4 who cares

True, this will be the best outcome for us. But I despise Hawthorn so much, can't bring myself to say, I'm going for them. All I hope is that they smash the *smile* out of each other and Hawthorn falls over the line by under a goal in a bruising in counter.Ian4 said:
The intensity of this game is a massive step up from regular season footy. It is already clear in the first 10 minutes. This is what concerns me about playing Conca coming back from a serious hammy and also Newman because he is too slow. Very worried these two could get found wanting.
On another note; see that dinky little rubbish kick in from Suckling which turned over for the first Eagles goal? Pathetic.
Suckling is a jib and the Eagles could easily expose him, and subsequently Hawthorn, in this game. Get him one out in the backline and he will lose nearly every contest.
