Brisbane vs Richmond Preview

 


It’s here. The 2022 AFL finals are here. 18 teams down to 8 and after this weekend there will only be 6 teams trying to prove themselves as this year's Premiers. Let's dive into the action that will take place tonight and what we could expect. 


Tonight, we have the recently successful Tigers taking on the success hungry Lions who are coming off a big loss to Melbourne 2 weeks ago at their home fortress. Brisbane went into this season with many saying they would go all the way and so did I. But their season has been an ugly one and suddenly find themselves likely to not progress further than week one of the finals.

Both teams haven’t lived up to their full potential this season and we’ll soon find out who really wants to prove everyone and themselves that they really do want to win the flag and are the real deal. 


Richmond should go into this game favourites. Not heavy favourites but comfortable favourites. It doesn’t get any better for Chris Fagan either with Cam Rayner, Noah Answerth and Jarryd Lions out of the side. 3 big names that will make a difficult task in defeating Richmond just that more difficult.


Fagan is backing Brisbane “happy go lucky” young gun Darcy Wilmot to make his AFL debut tonight. Only the 34th player to debut in a VFL/AFL final. 


None other than Dustin Martin is back on the list for Richmond which doesn’t help Brisbane in the slightest after coming back from a week of media attention and months on the sideline with hamstring issues. Granted, he hasn’t had a good day or two in the media and has been off the field for a little while so I don’t think he’ll be best on ground but will still be a big help for the Tigers.


History will also play a big part in this game with the Tigers winning the last 17 out of 19 games against Brisbane and 8 out of the last 10 finals. 


It isn’t all sunshine and rainbows for Richmond as they’re main goal kicker, Tom Lynch injured himself 2 weeks ago and won’t be at his full potential.

Jarrod Berry Eye Gouge Incident: What Experts Had To Say

Image
In Friday night’s Semi-final win over Melbourne, Brisbane star midfielder Jarrod Berry got caught up in a bit of push and shove with Dee’s Premiership player Clayton Oliver in which Jarrod seemed to dig his fingers into Oliver’s eye.  He got a week suspension from the on field umpire but will be heading to the tribunal Tuesday night to try and get that overturned before the Lions take on Geelong in a Preliminary final on Friday at the MCG to send them into the Grannie. Like all suspensions big or small, there are always people that discuss what they think should be decided on Tuesday night which is exactly what happened today. Rating Every Brisbane Lions Player’s Goal Song: https://aflguruwebsite.blogspot.com/2022/09/rating-every-brisbane-lions-players.html This morning, Collingwood Captain Scott Pendlebury made an appearance on radio station Triple M and when asked about the situation Scott had sympathy for Jarrod Berry, and didn’t think he meant to poke him in the eye and that “he wa

The Wildest BBL Melbourne Derby Yet

The Wildest BBL Melbourne Derby Yet As a whole, BBL12 hasn't quite lived up to previous Big Bash seasons whether it be a slump in crowds or a decline in action, BBL as a whole has been on a downfall. Last night at the MCG between cross town rivals Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades may have just lit a spark in the BBL whilst splitting Melbourne and the cricket world in two. The Stars won the toss and elected to bat in a must win match in front of their home crowd. They had the Renegades up against the wall early with English fast bowler Luke Wood sending an out of form Sam Harper back to the sheds on his first ball.  The Stars had their tails up with the Renegades already feeling the Heat it was time for the experience of kiwi import Martin Guptill to dig deep and find some runs. He did so making 32 before Guptill fell to the heat of Beau Webster. Aaron Finch, who had been promising for the Gades so far throughout the season met a similar fate as Sam Harper going second ball m

What An Essendon Fan Has Thought Of The Last 24 Hours

Image
Image from afl.com After the siren sounded on Sunday night to end the final game of the round between Essendon and Port Adelaide, an already heavily criticized Essendon Football club was questioned by the press and their fans including myself. An 84 point loss to an average team that needed to prove themselves after a week in the headlines was the last thing Essendon needed as we come to the end of a disappointing season by Ben Rutten and his team, dropping 7 places on the ladder from last year and marking Rutten’s biggest loss as coach. The game was practically over at half time with Port already piling 74 points on the board to Essendon’s 23. A feeling felt before by bombers supporters this season.  I myself stopped watching and instead watched Sydney end Collingwood’s 11 game winning streak (about time!). I was keeping an eye on the score and hoping things would pick up but they never did. In fact quite the opposite happened. Our fourth quarter performance was dreadful with the AFL
