Unfortunately I reckon Shaun Grigg will be telling them exactly what we'll bring and how Damien will be putting that message across
.... whether they can cope with it is another story!
Contrasting Bachars and Dangers narratives is an encouraging exercise.
Bachar; we dont think about outcomes, just the process that increases the liklihood of a favourable outcome.
Danger; ive spoken to teammates and friends who have won and lost grandfinals. Those that have won them say its great and those that have lost them say its dreadful.

Dont reckon they need Shaun Grigg to tell them what to expect. They know it anyway!!
Nah, we've shifted maps since then. Our massive strength is we keep the opposition guessing. And the media.Unfortunately I reckon Shaun Grigg will be telling them exactly what we'll bring and how Damien will be putting that message across
Grigg will think he has some idea .... and even that plays into our hands ..
Grigg: (special team meeting) any questions?
Scott: i guess, shaun, start by explaining to the fellas what they can expect.
Grigg: Um, well i expect Marlion Pickett will run off the line at the first bounce and put Guthrie in The Mater. Then Dusty will go completely apeshit and almost certainly win the Norm Smith. They are way better than when i was there. Lynch is unstoppable and uf he doesnt get us, jack will. tommy? Youve got your work cut out on Balta. He benches 150kg and run 100m in 10.6. Dont even try tackle Bolton, you are wasting your time.
I suggest embracing the week
Any more questions?
(Danger raises his hand)
Yes?
Dangerfield: so how hard does Pickett hit do you reckon?
They will be expecting the heat. But are they expecting the type of heat we bring?Unfortunately I reckon Shaun Grigg will be telling them exactly what we'll bring and how Damien will be putting that message across
Salty said they learnt a lot from our last match.
But we've change our style a little since then.
Geelong just seem to be trying to catch up with us.
Always a step behind.
Lool Grigg they said the same about Blake and Rutten going to dons.Like Dimma said you can get the people in , but you need the cattle.
They may have learned alot so have we.I think he tryed to outsmart himself Scott sometimes.

Yep This !! got this from My Cuz in Melbourne who is usually very level headed re footy . We usally have really good disusussions about the game but is a cats fan .
" Hope the Tigers loose bad
with snipers like cothin & lynch plus actors like flauston and grimes,in the bag .. "
I was a bit surprised as I never have a go at my family and mates about there teams .
Really haven't replied to that ..
Seeing lots of comments on FB from mates that support other clubs wanting us basically to loose badly ..comments like .. umpires favor us , were arrogant , afl pets etc etc etc ..
REALLY HOPE WE WIN BIG TIME SATURDAY .. GO TIGERS

I'm finding the same thing. In 2017 I surprisingly had quite a few of my Non-Richmond supporting friends wish me luck against the Crows. So far this week I've got NOTHING!!!!!!!
Not expecting any well wishes either but I honestly don't care.
I reckon I want this Premiership more than the 2017 one (which I never would have thought possible!!!).
I never say much to opposition supporters, partly because it can come back and bite you but mostly because it's not like a supporter has some bearing on the result, we are just supporters.
However for some reason I have been inundated with anti Richmond stuff this week. My response is to play it low key but underneath my feeling is that we are no different to the supporters of any successful club and we are enjoying it and also we copped a lot for a lot of years. I reckon we deserve our moment in the sunshine.
If we win I am not going to throw it in anyone's face but I am also not going to feel guilty about celebrating.
I've experienced both sides. Some want us to lose, some want us to win.
Not too fussed about the criticism. The media have hyped it up about Gaz and Dangerflop. Lot's of punters influenced by the dribble.

I dont get any negative texts from non-richmond people anymore.
over the years, any unsolicited negativity towards the tigers,
ive replied to every one that was unconstructive, undeserved and/or unintelligent
get *smile* you *smile*.
and I just dont get them anymore.
I actually only have about 5 friends left, and they all barrack for Richmond, themselves, or vicariously through me

Sure.
However I think the Tiges will ultimately be irrepressible.
Richmond's pressure and newly developed clearance game will overwhelm Geelong at some point in the game; it's just a matter of at which point.
And then the DVD commemorating Richmond's three premierships will start with footage of Scott gobbing off about Richmond not being that good...
Hard to do but best tactic is to just ignore
If we do win it - there's another good tactic but let’s just wait for now ......
Go Tiges!
Yep. Copped some crap from my nana. “Hope the cats win. They deserve it” as she smiled.
Just moved her into the nursing home, the bad one.
Who’s smiling now you wrinkled old prune.
An Adelaide supporting friend of mine texted me after the game "I'm glad you beat Port but I hope you lose next week.".
Sheesh. Unnecessary I thought. I haven't replied.
Maybe I went a bit hard on him after 2017 (unlike me, but the excitement of the drought-breaking flag may have got the better of me).
Anyway, a bit rich considering where his mob finished.
So we are playing Geelong in a Grand Final on neutral territory.
A rare opportunity to silence alot of critics.
I would give alot to win this ... I'd be willing to close the book on this era of success even.
