First game is hard to pick and I am not sure who to go for in my tips.

[Eastdog]

I'll be putting my tips in tomorrow.

[Eastdog]

Put my tips in just now. Tipped Collingwood tonight to win and as its a margin game I tipped 14 points. I tip us each week so no different this week against GWS. Went also for Freo and St Kilda who in both of those games are not favourites.

[Remi Moses]

Collingwood by 15 pts
Clubs know Richmond's weakness ( contested footy)

[G-Mo77]

How weak are Richmond? Collingwood seemed in their head before the ball was even bounced. Cotchin a disgrace, instead of bitching go and find the footy and try to win it.

Maybe North last year, maybe not. But any more an overhyped side than Richmond this year??

GWS after round one were going to destroy the world. :-)

The hype machine is strong which is why they always fall so hard. Their self proclaimed gun players are so mentally fragile, Cotchin, Deledio, Martin, Reiwoldt, when the heat goes up just watch how these guys perform. Their body language on the field is pitiful when the chips are down.

The mental fragility is a great, yet valid point. I have no idea why, as Hardwick wasn't as a player, but their big issue is between the ears. It can't be a coincidence they have so many of them. When they're flat track bullying they look great, but that's less and less games each year as teams are passing them, like us!!

Ever year.

[Remi Moses]

One team worked both ways, the other works one way.
Cotchin needs help, but the others are worried about their own game.
Gee if Bontempelli turns out half as good as Pendlebury you'd be delighted.
Funny listening to Richmond fans moaning about key players being out, and putting Shaun 4 possession Hampson in there.

What about some of Vickery's non efforts.
The Fox boys covered it at half time, it was embarrassing .

As for Hampson, Carlton should be charged with theft of a round 2 draft pick. While Richmond charged with stupidity.

Subbed at half time. I don't think the coach could send a message any clearer than that.

I think he was injured.

Not a great game to watch, I fell asleep before half time. Richmond have a lot of work to do if they want to recover and play finals, they've got a tough few weeks ahead although I assume their draw gets a little easier after that.
