    This reminds me of playing Geelong at Simonds Stadium and they had shirts printed before the game saying congrats on 30 home game wins in a row (or words to that).. I really enjoyed the result. I believe Rohan kicked a great running goal that day.

    Of course, I should have said if they proceed undefeated to the Granny and prevail.

    Yep, and half of them have never been to an away game.

    The winner will probably play Collingwood, who haven't impressed. To be honest the gulf between Richmond and the rest is great - you could throw a tissue over the rest. Geelong came 8th and are probably most likely at this stage with Harry Taylor coming back, Hawkins in form and Dangerfield stepping up. Very good midfield.
    The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

    This week off before the finals bull@@@@ has to stop.
    If I'm losing momentum... so are the team!!
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Don't worry, sister- I've got you covered with highlights to bide your time!

    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Channel 9 Footy Show this morning previewed 3 finals. Guess which one they missed. One question was asked; "will Franklin play"?

    Who could possibly knock em off.
    Especially when you compare it to the hopeless efforts of the Dogs. Tiges deserve plenty of plaudits, the stars have managed to keep a very high degree of performance up over the two seasons, and their team structure, strategy and effort remain competition leading.

    Looks like it would take a tragic bus accident on the way to the G for them to lose from here.

    In our last 4 weeks, we beat third, fifth and seventh and ran 4th within a goal with two of our best players missing. How exactly is that poor form?

    DON'T TOUCH ME!!!
    I hate this song so much that my friends all touch me at the touching me touching you bit.
    I've taken to stepping a few more steps out of their reach.
    Thanks Stell. It's in my head now, and I can't get it out.
