Week 1 AFL Finals Series

Have we ever played there at night?

When Shultz kicked 7
Wasn’t Castagna’s big haul of 4 under lights.

I prefer under lights. It gets slippery and dewy and the little lions besides Neale and Martin get scared at night.

We won’t hear from Salty Scott now. He’s not worried about playing home finals at the G. He’s only worried about playing US at the G.

Pies will be a big big shot to beat the Cats, so I reckon Pricky might be a pissed campaigner and salt it up about playing at the G again.

Stephenson, Sidearse and De Fatty wil be back, and Grundy will give the Maggots mids an armchair ride all night, as will the Umps as usual.

Yes.

As much as I delight in the Bomber fans misery at a Thursday night game in Perth, the preoccupation with Thursday night games is ridiculous. No feel for anything approaching consideration for the true stakeholders of the sport from AFL HQ. What an inept and arrogant bunch of flogs. Couldn’t organise a frozen chook raffle at a bingo hall.

As I can’t get to the game, can anyone please suggest the best place to watch Richmond games, like a sports bar or pub?
 
Zip rates the lions.

Hodge. Couldn’t believe we didn’t highlight his lack of leg speed today.
Robinson. Tries he guts out, but no more then a ordinary footballer
McCluggage. Nice clean footballer. One to watch
Neale. Quality footballer. Brisbane number 1 player.
Rich. Was he playing? Mr Invisible
McCarthy. Dud. Only getting a game in the AFL because he is mates with neale
Martin. Good, but was ratshhit half through the 3rd.
Zorko. Good footballer.
Rayner. Ok nothing special
Lyons. Extra mid. There lambert
Cameron. Dangerous, super fast. But Grimes has him covered
Adams. Praising him last week, delist material a week later. Too slow. Made Riewoldt look like Ablett.
McStay. Should’ve McStayed home. Totally useless.
Hipwood. He is ok, but not against our defence. He should wait to play stkilda or Melbourne
Andrews. Held lynch to half time then held Riewoldt after half time. Physically held them. Flken umpires

It's Gestapo Gill's current love.
 
Zips player ratings richmond

Big V. Mr Wonderful. Unbelievably good
Grimes. Not bad for a bloke on one leg
Prestia. Good, but his kicking is atrocious
Martin. BOG by the straight at Flemington
Ellis. Get out and stay out, some half hearted efforts on the wing. McCluggage slapped him
Jack. Really Good early, then *smile* after half time.
Cotchin. Should’ve stayed home in the first half, improved in the 2nd half
Edwards. Super super good.
Castagna. I can’t defend him anymore, learn to kick straight
Astbury. Solid, slapped McStay
Houli. In my top 5 on the ground. Super good.
Short. Useless.
Rioli. Good but over did it at times
Lynch. Worse game for us. Cost us 4 goals, dropping marks, and giving away free kicks.
Caddy, liked his game, his strong body helped against the Boney lions
Lambert. Ok,
Bolton. Kick a set shot goal ffs. Did ok besides that.
Graham. Was good but needs to make decisions quicker.
Broad. Very good.
Balta. Next, bring back chol
Soldo. Looked tired then came alive after Martin tired
 
I just booked my flights!! Kinda helped a lot of people I guess for the game to be on the saturday night! I hope we get a large yellow & black army up there!

Anyone know what percentage of seat allocation we get for the game as an away team?

I’ve just booked my flights. For anyone who’s looking into it the regular airlines are actually gouging less than the budget ones - Jetstar was $660+, whereas Qantas was more like $500. Still plenty of reasonably priced accomodation within walking distance of the Gabba too.

Geez, Thursday night 6.10pm local time? The AFL are clearly shafting West Coast fans for the sake of east coast TV ratings. If I was West Coast I would be way more Salty than Scott (is he even salty at the moment, or is that just reserved for us?).

I have a ticket question.
I’m a Maurice Rioli member and so is my son.
My wife and other son are not members but are keen Richmond fans.
Can my son and I buy a ticket each for the missus and other son?
Anybody can buy tickets. But mostly will not go on sale until after the members sale so they may miss out.

Was always going to be Thursday give Essendon time to get back if they win.
 
Oh, he'll be sure top bring it up if they lose to the Pies.

****, that's a dilemma. I really have no clue how I want that game to go. Would love both teams losing for the hysterics.
we will likely play the loser in the prelim, or WEagles (assuming we win), then the winner in the GF.
I reckon a Tigers v Pies GF would be pretty wild, so i guess i hope they win. and then we get to knock the cats out in the prelim. fun around.
