Where and when: Carrara, 7:10pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Week 1 of the 2019 Finals, a wayward Brisbane 8.17 (65) DEF BY an accurate Richmond 18.4 (112)
What it means for The Tigers: The Top 4 beckons and after crushing the hopes of another premiership aspirant last week, Richmond will be looking to deal out more of the same to the second placed Lions.
What it means for The Lions: Heaps! They need the win to stay in touch with Port at the top of the ladder and the loss in last year’s finals would still be stinging.
Motts Watch: After snagging Alex Witherden yesterday to plug the hole left by Docherty’s absence in my backline, I’ll be looking for a repeat of last week’s 170 point performance.
Mottsy’s Tip: Tigers by 10 in a high-scoring match

Thanks Mottsy, Witherden and Dusty watch for me. Witherden needs another solid performance for JS in my eyes and Dusty needs CBAs to convince me to waste another trade to bring him back in again.
TU – Taylor, Sturt, Simpkin > Duncan,Dusty & Draper (2k left)
TD – Taylor & Sturt > Duncan & Draper. Means I keep Simpkin (92k left)
Still undecided. Need to bring in a fwd/mid rookie under 150k
Skinner???? Who else !
skinner is FWd only
Hi coaches,
Who should I field:
TU aarts
TD skinner
Will loop the non fielded player with close as I still have 7 in fwd this week
Cheers!
Which one to bring in
TU: Skinner
TD: Bell
Can you wait until teams tomorrow night? I think Flanders will get a game for GC.
Skinner plays tonight
He won’t next week, McStay will be back.
No late changes.
Who to put on field?
T/U : Skinner
T/D: Close
Good luck everyone!
lynch should get a week for that dog act to the back of the head
Nice to be on the Neale train rather than watching it leave the station.
Good Morning Father D.
How’s the Hamster ?
Morning! Much less scared than before now that we aren’t losing ground to Neale every week. And cute as always.
Ha ha..
love this game so far. SC Dream..
Dusty and Neale shake hands and then just run off each other.
Old school.
Captain Neale seems ok too 😉
stack is killing the lions in close so far tonight
jo
I snatched Stack for my Draft team. 😉
Neale breathes near the ball and gets 20 points for it… Killing me !
Feeling sick after that Skinner miss
Damn Neale that score…. should’ve bought you in rd1
took the C off him & put it on gawn
gawn better bloody play
Get in Aarts!

I guess i won’t be getting Neale on my team now , the man going to be expensive.
And move it Skinner!!
damn , picked the wrong game to bring a rookie fwd into my team
jinxed
hope skinner isnt next weeks scape goat
he will be – fagan doesn’t forgive lightly and that play on kick and miss from 11 metres out almost turned match completely and you could see Fagan’s face … its like it deflated the lions …
scoring is just way out tonight – start of third quarter aarts made two tackles back to back – none paid.
Dusty took a mark in the square, ran the ball forward, kicked inside 50 to Reiwoldt who marks and kicks a goal … all he got was 4 points … that was minutes ago and his score hasn’t changed … sh@its me the inconsistencies
They seem to sort it out after each quarter. We’ll never nut out this scoring.
Neale would have got 30!
and I’ve got him, thank goodness!
cmon lions , pinch it
no chance now … my second team after the Bombers and living in Brissy … but they wont make up that difference – Tigers too good and Lions have a mental problem playing them
balta has found his niche in the backline
has to come into serious consideration next week
i raised that point last week
yeh , i read the write up , spot on mate
Short continuing to look the goods …
Houli Back R12
I’m thinking of a side ways to Lloyd /Sicily ( post Bye )
dusty’s gna clean up in dead time as dusty does
last quarter Neale completely disappeared, but his job was done..
Have got dusty and neale , neale wins you sc, dusty wins you premierships!!
woah – that’s an ugly result for Lions … smashed again by Tigers … that may destroy their confidence again as it did in last years finals …
dane zorko fire sale
free steak knives
Cash league opponent had VC on Neale & aarts. Not a great game for me -_-
Non Neale owner …
Need to bring him in next week.
Skinner and Ballenden don’t look much chop … Skinner in particular seems to lack confidence and desire to get the ball at times … so hesitant most of the night … apart from the brain fade taking a mark 11 metres out in front and playing on and missing …
Do you think Fagan will give him another chance? or get dropped
Skinner and Ballenden will both go as soon as reinforcements arrive imo, Lions went in too tall tonight.
Both useless, no utility as talls or 2nd rucks. Skinner, like Macca said, looked hesitant and Ballenden lazy.
Get Dropped.
He was bought in to cover McStay. Only injuries will save skinner’s skin.
have to treat him as a nuff basically in the Fwds if you brought him in tonight … cheap value to trade in to free up other cash … that’s about as good as he seems to be … it could have been different if he’d kicked that goal … might have lifted him and his team mates … instead you could see the entire team deflate …
Well at least my other rookies scored better and my premos scored double digits which im happy about.
haha – i hope you mean triple digits …
A lot of my premos have been double digits this year Mecca!!
amen brother!
Didn’t realise triple* digits
Full Time – Tigers double the Lions score & win by 41 points -12.10.82 to 4.17.41, with disappointing points for those who brought in newcombers Skinner & Ballenden

Brisbane kicking let them down again. You think that’s an area they would like to correct and prove against the Tigers?
Hmmm, Neale……oh wait……phew…..Neale now 149 which is above his average…….didn’t want to give a below average player the responsibility of captaincy…..LOL
