    Tipped the Pies by 35 and at half time that was looking far too conservative.

    That fuck wit McGuire is still being employed by Fox to cover their games as well :mad:

    They let Paul Roos commentate Sydney games too. Did they never hear of conflict of interest?
    Meanwhile, go Dockers! Bloody Dangerfield always carves us up

    Looks like Walsh just fooked his hamstring :(

    He was actually looking pretty good as well in tough conditions.

    Yeah its a shocker really.

    It really screws up Sydney's structure for this game as well, they've only 1 tall forward to kick to now, although their mids are so good they could still get over the line.

    I know Xavi and other Eagles fans on here will be unhappy but wow, delighted with that win for Tiges tonight.

    I was really expecting Darling/Kennedy/Cox to give us serious trouble in marking contest around FF against Rance/Chaplin, but combo of Eagles lacking bit of intensity and our defenders playing really well meant it never materialised.

    Vlaustin is a machine and could be our best player in years.

    White/Foley back and playing well is great to see.

    Now we just need to back it up with a consistent run of performances.

    I wouldn't feel too sorry for them, they're Eagles fans after all ;) :pac:

    Very impressive performance from Richmond. They will stay top 8 if they can keep playing like that. It seemed the Eagles were set up for one game plan, and when the Tigers switched it up, they couldn't alter their own to keep up.

    Meh, kicking 8.14 won't win you games and it's now three or four times that our kicking efficiency has been utter shite.

    Dominated the stats in the first half but couldn't kick inside 50 and got what we deserved.

    Richmond were good in fairness but nothing special, the Eagles made them look a lot better than they are imo.
