Game Day Rd 23 Tigers v Lions - Reasonably large final H & A game day thread

What a great Tiger crowd at the G yesterday ...76k plus, that’s bloody outstanding for a Sunday arvo, I got to Richmond around 11 and there was Tiges everywhere , The London was pumping by 12-30 , simply just a ripper day to be a Tiger.

People forget we do not win the stats Pagan mentioned after the game - clearances, contested possessions, disposals etc etc. We are unique, you cannot look at stats in our games and work out who won. The only stat we consistently win is FA.

Brown OTC has lost the plot, he just said they'll win it. So much upside. Although Brown has form with ridiculous statements - eg Naughton as the best contested marking game ever . Brown the clown.

What? The same Brown who said our list was overrated?
....then we won the premiership.
 
yeah. After the WC win King analysis said "WC lost no fans etc etc, Barrass will never play that bad again" HA HA he played worse than John Manton's worst game last week!

Yep commentators going on about how Brisbane will be able to clean up a lot of things and be better in 2 weeks and ignoring the fact we weren’t at our best either.

If we didn’t stuff up so many scoring opportunities, particularly in the 2nd qtr we would have pumped them

Imho we wouldn't have stuffed so many of those scoring chances if Caddy were playing higher. He is very canny forward.

The Brions on their home deck = pressure for them I think.
Finals are dour affairs usually, we eat territory for breakfast.
20k tiger fans up there or more up there.
I felt early in the 3rd the Brions gave it their best but ran out of bullets in the end.

I saw someone throw a "cut lunch" but as far as I saw it didn't connect

Maybe, but what about the potential to cause more serious injury, I seem to remember that was given as a reason to suspend a player earlier this year. Must be consistent.

We also win the scoreboard stat consistently. Not sure that’s as important as clearances and contested possessions according to David King, Jono Brown, Dixon etc.

If it’s a Richmond player then yes. Anyone else gets off.
 
If we hadnt left 3 goals in the first ( all from Georgie boy ) they wouldnt have come back.

Stats are meaningless to us, but we cant allow Neale to get that many again on a smaller ground . The only stat that matters is the final score .

Really want to smash them now more than ever.

But they are at least a 4 goal better side with their home ground advantage plus umpires gunning for Grimes will make a close game.

I am not surw the MC would be that fussed about Neale racking them up if we are winning comfortably.

That's for sure...I sensed something was up,when the Carpark at my station was fuller than I have seen it for a Sunday game...took 10 minutes to get off the platform at Richmond (mental note to self go out the Swans st end exits during finals)

Getting out at Brunton Ave is generally fine on the way in, but going home, I head straight for the Swan St Bridge and go in the other end. Was never like this when I was a kid and we had the old inefficient cardboard tickets. Technology: delivering more wasted time than you ever thought possible.

I used to really like those cardboard tickets.
Some people have vast collections of them.
