#AFL Round 16 Weekly Discussion Thread

Just watched the Richmond game, wow, like last week they just swarm everywhere like ants, deserved flag favourites. Makes our game look antiquated.

Crows are a shell of last years side, won't be making finals. Curtly Hampton was on the ground for the Crows, I didn't use the word play, he was unsighted so checked his stats, 83% TOG for two possies at 50% efficiency! Looks a certain delist. More clever trading by GWS, they got a second rounder for him!

Never seen a team increase their speed and stamina so quickly as Richmond. Super quick and so confident. They used to be the king of turnovers, now very efficient.

Gee, it's a good time to be a Tiger fan.....last week, last night and tonight's game proved we are a long way off Richmond....and maybe some others. May as well use the rest this season to develop younger players (esp. with the injuries to KJ and Hanners) and consolidate our list, ie: play some deserving reserves and give them a reason to stay.....we'll probably still make the finals and you never know.....if not, se la vi.

With our tough run home and mounting injury problems, I'm worried about dropping out of the 8 altogether by season's end.

If we fall out of the 8 at the end of the season it means we played really crap football after the bye round, so why not just be in the best draft position possible. It's not like we would really have a shot a the premiership. Even our best footy looks a fair way off Richmond. It would take something really special and very odd for us to win the premiership this year.

The hardest thing to take is that we actually are probably worse than Collingwood now. One of the most awful thoughts I've ever had.

Have been watching Tigers v Crows with sound off : they (Tigs) are a running swarm and play with complete arrogance with so many options dodging opponents like they are nailed to the ground.

This could be the easiest back to back , or are the Crows just pathetic as Blighty would say.
