I'm calling it a night. I'm too sad to watch the rest
Well done you Richmond guys, your team was brilliant tonight, just smashed us from quarter time on. Grimes at one end, and Dusty at the other too good for us. You'll be very hard to beat in your next two runs.
My main positive is Cam Raynor has been great, and could be made for September. Also that Hodge kid could be something great.

I think most Richmond supporters would’ve been feeling very relieved we were only 2 goals down at quarter time, realistically it should’ve been more. That was crucial.
From then on Richmond made adjustments to suit the ground and the matchups ,2nd quarter evened things up, 3rd quarter got on a massive roll , and it was game over.
Happy for grimes , been an unsung hero for Richmond for some time, but was mostly living in rance, the superstar defenders shadow , getting the recognition he deserves now.
Interesting, the last time dusty played as almost a full time forward was Brisbane last year. He kicked 6 then, The coaches must see something there . 18.4 was the most accurate goal kicking in a final ever , Brisbane at the other end were polar opposites.
Not all lost for them, I think they can beat gws and play in a prelim if they tidy a few things up.
So we have Geelong v west coast , winner faces Richmond.
Brisbane v gws , winner faces Collingwood. -
Danny Frawley died in a car crash
Rip

@kiwiinmelb shit. I shiver when I read about single car crashes and trees.

Holy shit!

Sad loss.
I joined the St Kilda cheer squad during the 80s when I was a young’un and would go down to Moorabbin mid-week to do the banner when we had home games. Sometimes the team would be training on the same night and they would come and hang out with the cheer squad.
Given the dark days the cheer squad wasn’t that big and we got to spend time with the players. Danny was the ultimate team man and always had time for us. He loved to have a laugh. Helped Plugger come out of his shell too.
Very memorable times and Danny was the man.

On footy classified, they showed the number for lifeline on the bottom of the screen , absolutely tragic
-
No! shit. really?

@ACT-Crusader my first footy spectating experience was at Moorabbin. Remember the crowd running on to the field to swamp plugger - think he had kicked his 100th goal of the season
Terrible news about Frawley, presume if they are publishing Lifeline numbers they must have a good indication that it was suicide

sigh
ah well, still a good year. Didn't watch Saturday live. Watched bits of it yesterday. Close, brutal, dirty game, so a good final. In that kind of environment we needed our mad ginger to keep Giants players looking over their shoulders. Well done GWS, you actually showed up when it got tough for once...
I'm still not sure how Geelong were able to run way from West Coast on Friday night.
I get the feeling both the winners from this week will front up and get belted this weekend
-
Also, farewell to one of my favourite footballers from any code in Luke Hodge. Fuck what a career that was.
I still can't believe you played for the Lions, how good? And can still play in September when it really matters.
-
Going tonight , its a sell out, should be a great atmosphere ,
Everyone seems to be picking us which makes me nervous after last year .

Tigers Cats game is messing with folks blood pressure. Tigers with early lead befor3 cats took over and went to the half with a commanding lead. Tigers came back hard in second half took lead which cats have responded and tigers now with a slight lead heading into the 3rd quarter. Gripping game, whiskey's going down too easy.
-
4 point lead to the Tigers going into the last. Massive quarter coming up.
-
Great contest ,
Main concern, we go into next week a bit banged up
-
That was an intense game. Well done GWS for making their first granny.
Would’ve been robbed if they had lost.

Just watched the final quarter on replay. Wow. Wow. One helluva comeback from Collingwood. But eat a big fat chubby, Pies.
