We will give a good account of ourselves but still lose by about 9 goals.

We will only be down by 21 points at half time and think we are a genuine chance, but by the middle of the last quarter the lead will have blown out to about 12 goals.

Matthew Richardson will answer his critics and kick 4 goals straight from five kicks for the match.

Rogers will tag Nigel Lappin but will be moved off him when Lappin has 30 possessions on him (up to midway through the second quarter). Newman will shut him out after that.

Newman, Tivendale and Bowden will be our best players.

Danny will be distraught and will swing the axe by bringing Pettifer, Hilton, Biddiscombe and Hyde in for the game agaisnt the crows.

:-[

I said in the chat room last night that if Richmond beat Brisbane I'll admit that Matthew Knights is a better player than Wayne Campbell... I'll stick to that.
 
If they loose by less than 7 goals it will be a good result. It will the Punt Rd witches hats all over again.
 
The Lions could do circle work for the first quarter and indian file for the third quarter and still win by 8 goals.
 
If we don't find another avenue to goal other than Richo we will lose by about 15 goals.

Hopefully Houlihan, Cameron, Krakouer, Rodan, Ottens, Blumfield can kick 8 goals between them.

Is Blumfield playing?

And how is rodan's groin soreness?
 
Not sure about either two, just mentioned them as likely names to play in the forward line.
 
Blumfield is no chance to play - I reckon we won't see him until the Geelong game.

Tigers - either win it, or loose big. I couldn't take another heart breaker.

I give us some chance - Brisbane are running at about 60%.

Brisbane by 10-20
 
I think the Tigers Might get up for this one. Brisbane are far from top form and would still go into this match as favorites which should take some pressure off us. If Cambo plays He will be the difference on the day. Tigers by 4 to 5 goals :D
 
I have a feeling Cambo will be the difference between a ten goal thumping and a 15 goal thumping.

I HOPE I AM WRONG!

Just make plenty of predictions, you're bound to get some of them right, (just like Nostradamus).
 
If krakouer houlihan pettifer biddiscombe and hilton play brisbane by 20 goalsand thats being kind. if none of them play brisbane by 5 goals ;D
 
Brisbane by 12 goals. If Frawely doesn't travel then Brisbane by 7 goals.

Bit harsh on Krakouer Claw, he isnt the problem down at punt road, thats for sure
 
The way we are playing at the moment we have absolutely no chance of getting within 15 goals of brisbane. That coupled with frawleys mastermind tactics and we are looking REAL good. If rogers does a tagging job on any of the fab four look out for a possesion record to be broken. No doubt we will focus on Richo again and Leppitsch to have a field day against him. We will play cambo even though he isnt a 100% and lose him in the first 5 minutes. Knowing we wont win anyway why risk him and not give him another 2 weeks to get it right. Knowing our luck Voss will make a remarkable recovery and kick 6 goals!!! If ever brisbane needed a confidence lift to get them out of that losing streak THIS IS IT. I guarantee you that against any other side brisbane would not even think of risking voss, but against us they think what the heck its not like they can match him with anyone.

Heres hoping all the above dont occur and we have a famous TIGER victory. Even i have a dream.

Love the "Get out clause" FUD. That's like saying before I knock the fence down, I would like to sit on it for a bit! ;D
