AFL 2018 1st Prelim Final : Richmond v Collingwood: 19:50 AEST, MCG

[beta_condition]

Were you in a coma during 2010?

Nar just started following Richmond last year, give him a break for missing 2010.

Considering we are no longer the best team in the comp is free agency working now?

Tom Lynch might change his mind about you guys!

The Pies probably would have beaten anyone today, Sidebottom, Cox, Grundy and Degoey had seriously great games, i mean, some of the best of their careers at the same time.

Tigers needed that to match them, they needed a really high standard to match them, and unfortunately the week off was the problem. It meant they had more free time to just lap up the hype of already making it, and perhaps had more of a "this is going to be easy" mindset.

Who knows, clearly too many of our players had stinkers, we were at our worst. I think Collingwood had the bounce of the ball too and as you said a lot of their players had best game of their season tonight.
Nothing to worry about, we played 3 really bad games this year and this one was one of them.

Funny game Footy, was at Pies vs Hawks round 1 and there was Mason Cox being bronx cheered by his own supporter base, dropping chest marks left, right and centre. On the way out of the ground you could overhear supporters state how it's going to be another long year and how Buckley simply wasn't up to it. Go back further and Chris Mayne looked like one of the biggest recruting blunders of all time.

Now they're into the grand final. Good on them.

Yep that was the moment it was over although to be fair pies smashed us from the first 10 mins and we hardly fired a shot. Very disappointing end to a terrific season but just like 17 clubs it all means nothing if you’re not holding the cup come seasons end. Winning the flag last year at least makes it a little easier to take however such a wasted opportunity and who knows when you get another shot.
Too good the pies tonight and they’ll take some beating next week no doubt, hopefully whoever wins tmrw can win it as I’m not ready for a Collingwood flag.

Yeah you got smashed.

RIP Richmond.

Well done best team on night...see you next year

 

[dean33]

Yeah you got smashed.

RIP Richmond.

Stay classy champ

 

[Mootsy]

Sidebottom had 41 disposals at 85% efficiency,
think about that.

 

[Catters 070911]

Yes now the teams that built dynasties on priority picks or generous father and son concessions have moved on we have teams who actully have to work hard to be the best!

....As opposed to the Bulldogs, who drafted F-S Tom Liberatore, Mitch Wallis and Lachie Hunter.

But don't let the truth get in the way of your bias.

 

[Sub_Zero]

You haven't won a grand final for 28 years champ

lolwut?

 

[SSSSSS]

Shane Edwards All Australian BTW.

 

[nahnah]

What a way to end the longest win streak at the G

 

[Socrates2]

lolwut?

Ah yeah forgot that one, it was really a draw though, that's how I class it.If you can't win on the day you don't deserve to win I always say.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Bloody pies haven't beaten a top 8 team................

 

[nahnah]

Trolled us with he pies have injuries thing but when we got our players back and played on an even playing field it wasn’t a contest.

 

[ChubbMuff]

They're all hiding on their own board where they've banned supporters from other clubs from posting

And liking...seriously...you can’t even like posts

 

[Tulip]

That absolute nobody Graham getting lippy with Pendelbury after giving away a free kick was hilarious

Jack Graham that is

 

[sherb]

A moderator on the Tigs board threatened to "card" any opposition supporter who commented on the game even if it was "nice". Freedom of expression is alive and well.

I've never really understood why people care how other clubs' boards are moderated.

 

[The Filth]

It's gonna be a massacre, Rioli 4 goals Caddy 4 goals , Prestia best on ground Tigers by 57 points.

Rioli - 0 goals
Caddy - 0 goals
Prestia - Disposal efficiency of 41%
Pies win by 39 points

...and Pies won a flag in 2010...not 28 years ago - you can't even taunt properly

You've had quite a night chump

 

[PieLebo87]

Question for Pies fans: how many of the 2010 premiership players lined up for you tonight?

I reckon 3. Pendles, Sidebottom and Goldsack. Could be wrong.

 

[tigertigertiger]

Trolled us with he pies have injuries thing but when we got our players back and played on an even playing field it wasn’t a contest.

You played gastro tigers get over it and be appreciative that we down played it and wont use it as excuse to help pies look better than they are

I bet losing finally wiped the smile off his stupid child-like campaigner face.

Can't stand him.

 

[RookiePick]

Rance with the good grace to look ashamed at his performance.

....As opposed to the Bulldogs, who drafted F-S Tom Liberatore, Mitch Wallis and Lachie Hunter.

But don't let the truth get in the way of your bias.

You missed the bit where I said "generous" eg a third rounder or there abouts for Gary Jnr compared to the first rounder we gave up for Wallis\Libber and Ayce Cordy who turned out to be a dud.
Not saying the father son shouldn't exist and in fact the current policy is quite fair as any club can still make an offer but the original method definitely helped the Cats.
Its a subtle difference I know but pretty important in your search for truth!
