Any guesses on who'll be the next Tiger suspended? :P
go Bombers ;D
I think we can win and extend the streak.
We've been in pretty good form, since we were humiliated by Essendon.
I think we can get over the line, against the scum.
This is gonna be a great game. I'm tipping the Tigers
First game ive actually looked forward to going to for weeks.
Winning form is good form

Yep, been looking forward to this game all week.
Dons, is good
Should be a really good game
Essendon have more to play for and cant afford to let this slip
looking forward to Oreo's debut
Kavanagh the sub for the Bombers and Vlastuin for Tigers with no late changes
Flossy the sub :o
@AFL: Final teams #AFLTigersDons - No changes. Subs: Nick Vlastuin (@Richmond_FC) and Elliott Kavanagh (@EssendonFC)
Why the flower is Flossy the sub? ::)
#dimmacurveball is my new name and hashtag for these decisions. :P
Anyway, it's good to see that Tank and Axel aren't the sub in their milestones and Nippa actually gets a full game.
Going to be a close match. Richmond have been in great form lately and i'll tip them to win again tonight. Essendon still have problems with their forward line
Hoping for Richmond for Crows sake, hoping for Essendon for my multi sake.
Like most of our games, we'll either win or play shower and lose easily. Probably and hopefully the first option to see us well and truly get a grasp on the top 8, go dons
25 point win

So you'll be happy either way ;).
Nice to see Kav get another game, even if as a sub 8).
woweeeee what a mark. Essendon looking good so far!
Miles :)
Well neither team has any defensive presence. Just goes end to end every turnover
Yo Richmond, what the flower is this shower?

They've been traveling well for 7 weeks. Could easily have had 7 in a row if they weren't against Freo and Sydney back to back

The umps are on a roll again.
The free to Cotch was soft but it was there. But Dusty clearly threw the ball in the lead up.
Our players get raped and it's play on.

They've been terrible tonight both ways, as they've been all year.

Every time we go forward buckets gets ten times as much holding but never gets a free. Cockchin gotta rack up the frees

Cotch went to sleep that quarter.
Pretty standard for him to go missing for at least one quarter per game, usually when we need him.
Nigey you stole my DP not cool
Entertaining game. Cotchin my only opponent, so happy he's quiet. Ellis and Heppell on the radar for next year for breakouts.
Actually pretty happy with Nippa's game so far.
Now Heppell is going to win the Brownlow! Haha!

Really impressed by DHepp, haven't been his biggest fan but really stood up tonight.
That was easily one of the best games of the season! Sets up a ripper run to the finals!!

Huggy edit: I edited this to make it much shorter as it was making replying to things, particularly on mobile, an incredible chore. I still think it gets your point across.
^ Yeaa, Nah
P.s this is AFL. There are no "refs"
Would have accepted umpires or even maggots but not refs
refball is a common term used in sports, umpball doesn't sound good
24 frees to 17 when Richmond were clearly the more aggressive team. If Buckets was some pretty-boy like buddy or riewoldt and not a working-class bloke he'd have at least 20 free kicks himself, that cheat Rance was all over him at every opportunity.
Not to mention being penallised twice for what richmond were doing all game without penalty (50s)

Really? I thought the umps were pretty bad too, we hardly got a free kick in the first half.
How wasn't it a 100m penalty? One of your players didn't throw it to us on the full, then that flog Carlisle done this
(http://i.imgur.com/iBblKxrl.jpg)
Just admit that Richmond were too good ;)

Way late to the party but I'm so glad someone else noticed this! Similarly, the Geelong game in round 7 was one where we were good enough to beat probably anyone other than those top 4 sides but put up that performance against someone we just weren't going to beat. If we played half as well in the Bulldogs and Melbourne games (hell, even in the Gold Coast and North games that were in reach), we'd comfortably be in the finals...

Think it's been more of a change off the ground. Sounds like effort and mindset have seriously changed on the track at training, and you can certainly tell! your boys are flying atm

Yup atm I'd back them vs anyone outside the top 4, which is where I thought they'd be at the start of the season. Evidently some just take longer to catch on!

I guess next week will test that... Beating the Crows in Adelaide will be tough. I'm calling it a 50/50 at the moment.

The return of onfield leaders has been massive though. Maric and Lids being healthy have, imo, made more of a difference than Miles. I think a lot of the change of mindset has come with the return of those two leaders (as well as with the complete lack of pressure once we were realistically out of finals contention).

24 frees to 17 when Richmond were clearly the more aggressive team. If Buckets was some pretty-boy like buddy or riewoldt and not a working-class bloke he'd have at least 20 free kicks himself, that cheat Rance was all over him at every opportunity.
Not to mention being penallised twice for what richmond were doing all game without penalty (50s)
Have a sulk buddy, we were just a better team on the night.
You don't think those 50s were there? Not throwing the ball back to the player is a 50 every day of the week and dopey Carlisle got warned by the umpire not to touch newmans throat and then he does it again right infront of him. Was the easiest 100m penalty the umpire could have paid in his life
