Devour everything I can read, watch or go to in regard to the AFL, not interested in any other sports really. Have attended a dozen or so grand finals in my life, none of which I have had to pay to get in. (Work that out yourself). Collingwood tragic and member. Will never, ever get over losing the following Grand Finals - 77, 79, 81, 2002, 2011, 2018...1980 and 2003 we were never in it. Watching the Pies win 2010 with my boys was one of the greatest days in my life.

We need a key forward Neil. Cameron would be nice! We didn’t handle the wet at all. The wet allowed them to stifle our run and quick handball game and nullify Treloar, Sidebottom, Phillips and co. Next year seems a long way away and there will be new challengers rising up no doubt. Tigers have them covered in the dry and you had about 4 rainy games in a row late season so just cannot see it even being close. Enjoy the week and your second cup in three years. I’m signing off for 2019 as won’t be watching next week. Good luck to you. They are a classy side the Tigers on and off the field.

It’s not going to be a wet, rainy slippery game like that Jon boy. Look how our running game got going in the last when it cleared. The wet slog killed us.

Good luck Neil, we missed the epic Pies Tigers GF after all, you and Slane are a couple of Tiger fans who rise above the rest in here in class. I think you would have had us well covered as we are struggling to score. As you say, you never know but IMO it was the wet that suited GWS. If it’s a dry GF, it could be a 1980 type margin. I mentioned during the year Tigers might be like the Cats of 2007, 2009, 2011 and win three in a few years. You are well placed. Enjoy the week.

Congratulations Richie. Two flags in three years and join the Pies, crows, kangas, dons and swans with two in the afl era. If it’s dry Richmond by ten plus goals next week maybe fifteen

You disappeared around the time of the eagles loss to hawthorn 6 x 6 and come back some time after the cats kicked you out to have a crack at the Cats and Pies? That’s weak.

Pathetic Jon Boy? How’s Freo going mate? 20 + years and….? Wonder how we would go with Langdon, Beams, Cox, Greenwood and a bloke called De Goey? Perhaps concentrate on your own side and why players are leaving.

TTF. I could have hammered you after last years preliminary but didn’t, saying only I was humbled to be in the grand final and you were a great side who would be back. You however have only shown your lack of the same class tonight. Shame to see, shame for this insight into your empty soul. Enjoy your flag. GWS won’t get within ten goals if it’s dry,

And another rare classy comment in here by Jason which only embarrasses the nuffies.

Who had the wobbles? The side 33 points up who stopped completely or the side who’d kicked three goals early in the last and trailed by 6?

Roughead will match up well on big Tom should we make it through. Both big, both pretty slow, both not great on the ground.

Lynch no liability for Tigers

6th talking point, you don’t want to ever finish on top in this competition. Top position seldom wins for some reason.

Optimistic, not over confident, but as Paul D said, Pies tend to make grannies and lose them, rather than bow out in preliminaries. I think we will win by 18 points setting up another Richmond Collingwood GF.
