[Madden]

Carlton vs Richmond (MCG) N

Fri 27 Mar
Hawthorn vs Geelong (MCG) N

Sat 28 Mar

Brisbane vs West Coast (G) N
St.Kilda vs Sydney (ES) N

Sun 29 Mar
Melbourne vs North Melbourne (MCG)
Port Adelaide vs Essendon (AS)
Fremantle vs Western Bulldogs (S)

I'm really looking forward to tonight's game and will be cheering as hard as I can for the Tigers to get up - not because I like them, but because I want to see Carlton's season get off to the worst possible start.

I'm pumped about the Grand Final rematch on Friday night too. Anyone else?

Any match discussion, scores, updates etc to be put in this thread.

Will be cheering pretty hard for the Tigers tonight. I don't like them I just hate Carlton. Hopefully at the end of the season both of them miss the 8.

Can Richmond just have great foot skills just for one game, it's the not that hard its a neverending story story. Watching Carlton play so well makes me sick and I can't stand this. We may lose on Sunday, but surely we won't have as bad skills as those of the tigers. I hold my breath on that one Hoping for a miracle comeback for the tigers.

[BenDoolan]

How many Tiger memberships have been torn up tonight?

Haha, F****** joke of a team + coach.

[Royza]

Shithouse game. Pure comedy.

[Madden]

I don't necessarily think Richmond have been that bad. I think the turnovers have primarily been caused by Carlton's zone. I think you'll see a few teams who look like they have bad skills the next few weeks while everyone gets used to the pressure created by the zones.

Loved Fev shanking his first kick and giving away 50. Apart from that its been pretty slim pickings....

[Madden]

PS - Robert Walls officially began to shit me about 3 minutes into the first quarter.

It may be a long, long year.

[Mrs Mercuri]

3rd quarter and Carlton's youngsters are running all over the Tigers at the moment and are 53 points up.

They had 4 debutants tonight as well, gives me a bit of hope that playing our young guys on sunday wont be all bad.

Unfortunately i think the Blues will be the real deal this season.

[paddyl90]

Well lets all pack it up, it's all over, hand over the medallions and the cup to the Blues, that's all we will hear from now on from scum supporters I hate this. I refuse to look at the ladder after tonight. I'd rather scratch my own eyes out

Carlton are playing good but Richmond are forcing that issue, they are playing terrible footy!!

im going to reserve judgement on carlton until they play someone decent, i will admit id love for the Bombers to play with as much heart and desire as carlton tonight

p.s i hate eddie betts!

Yeah but he continually pops up and kicks bags of goals. That is exactly what we need players like Davey, Jetta, Gus and Lovey to do!

[BenDoolan]

I wonder what those extra thousand plus members that signed up for Richmond think right now. Was it really worth it for one bloke who won't make iota of a F****** difference to your club?

[danstar84]

...and Cousins hammy goes TWANG!

[Mrs Mercuri]

...and Cousins hammy goes TWANG!

As much as i dislike the whole Cousins saga.... that was sad to see. Just made the Tigers night all the much worse. Blues are walking in by over 70 points at the moment!

[Ronny Rotten]

Observations:
Seems Richmond have borrowed our skills coach so don't get to excited scum lovers.
The maggots are just as useless.
Get the game on Foxtel so we don't have to endure Walls & incessant commercials.
Lastly Walls is still a complete F/wit

[Mrs Mercuri]

Andrew Raines has just gone off with a knee injury as well. Bad news for the Tigers and my Dream Teams!!

[BenDoolan]

The Richmond membership kit should come with complimentary razor blades.

Cousins. Hopefully the delusional will wake up to themselves now.....

[robrulz5]

Richmond play Geelong next week...

[Madden]

Hope someone has got Cuz on shoot-up watch... (seriously, tell me that wouldn't be a possibility)
