Match Thread Round 14 2023 V Richmond

Post: # 2014607Post perfectionist »

The roof will be open at the MCG tonight although a rain band that is moving towards Melbourne might pass by game time with just a shower or two. I note that the bookies have Richmond 5/4 on favourites, which is a bit surprising, but I guess that's where the money is. In recent times, the MCG has been OK for us - the extra width seems to assist our less than perfect disposal. Our strengths seem to match or exceed theirs, so we should win. Saints by 15 points.

Anyone who starts the match thread needs to create the right atmosphere. We're like the online version of the cheer squad

The op must contain phrases like "Go Saints" or "Go you mighty Saints" or "I'm pumped"

My favourite is "Carn the Sainters"

Back in the day we'd yell from over the fence at ground level: "Drop them on their balls!"

Probably biggest game of the year so far, win this and can basically lock in finals.

2 erratic teams, hopefully the good Saints turn up as well as the poor Tigers!

Gresh is the player we need - clearance winning goalkicking midfielder.

He just needs to make it happen.

This game would be close to over if our delivery into F50 was decent

Higgins kick chasing (leading into the centre with Grimes on his hammer) nearly cost us a goal.

Well the Richmond game plan is clear…

Don’t bother figuring out our defence… just kick over it
