Do you think Richmond Will Make Finals?

[evo]

I think they can make it and actually hope they do, just not at our expense.

The games in bold are essentially 8 point games and will go a long way to deciding whether they do or not.

Good luck

The North and Freo games are pretty much 8 pointers as well. They are almost must wins if we are going to make finals.


We have some pretty important players to come back in the next few weeks after the bye in Conca, Ellis, Tuck and Grimes

No game is a must win. Every game carries 4 prem points. No more. No less. We are 6 and 4. If we are 12 and 8 coming out of the Carlton game that'll do it.

It will be close and our next 5 weeks will just about decide it. How many wins will be needed this year is the question...

 

[Madtiger2006]

We should beat the crows at the G in our next game which will make us 7-4 half way through the season. We were 5-6 last year. So we are 2 games better although a bit more inconsistent. Our midfield get lazy after winning 2-3 games in row eg. Pies and Dons games. Both those teams came off bad losses too. We need to be better in these situations. I reckon we'll learn from those efforts and be better from now on and surge into the finals

I keep getting alerts for people like that stupid post I made, it's pissing me off

That's why we're doing it

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Hopefully what last night has done is opened the players eyes to what they can do if they play as a team, trust each other and all crack in from start to finish.

Was great to watch.

Please don't fall in a heap over the rest of the season, I want to see them in the finals and win at least one of them, get the joint really jumping over there.

 

[richcogs]

This is who we play for the rest of the year -

Adelaide (MCG)
Bulldogs (Etihad)
St Kilda (MCG)
North Melbourne (Etihad)
Gold Coast (Cazalys)
Fremantle (MCG)
Sydney (SCG)
Hawthorn (MCG)
Brisbane (MCG)
Carlton (MCG)
GWS Giants (Skoda)
Essendon (MCG)

If we can win enough of the 50/50 matches I think finals are within reach.

I think we will win the nex 3 Adelaide at the G so that tilts it our way. The Dogs and Saints games are givens and a 50/50 against North, if we can win that won as well and go up 10 - 4 with 8 games remaining I think we will make it.

They are lock for finals IMO, good clubs don't miss the finals 12 years in a row.

But if there were a good club (which there are) wouldn't they have made the finals at least once in the past decade?

 

[Tiger71]

One week makes a big difference to Richmond fans. How quickly they forget and get back on the bandwagon

Seriously Astro, you a 12 year old girl ? You post like one....

Last week when we played your mob, was an aberration. The worst performance we have offered up in 24 months. Now I have moved on from last week and im really happy that it was such a watershed moment for you that your holding on to it so dearly. Myself, I just put a * to your win and moved on

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

I think the next three weeks the club needs to build up some breathing space. Adelaide will be tough but they should get to 9-4 going into the critical 5 game stretch.

Providing they beat GWS and Brisbane that's a total of 11 wins. They'll need to pick up 2-3 wins against North, Gold Coast, Fremantle, Hawthorn, Sydney, Carlton and Essendon. So I don't think losing any of those 7 would be disasterous on it's own so long as they win a few of them.

 

[Sprout]

They will if they win tonight, so no.

Nek minnit.

 

[SCHUMACHER]

Nek minnit.

Nek minnit your club folds.

Now now...its wicked to mock the afflicted.

Hahaha..aw, someone still grumpy?

 

[Jesse Custer]

Yes it does didn't your mob look so ordinary on the weekend.

True. But this thread is about Richmond. Why couldn't you play like that against Essendon?

 

[SCHUMACHER]

Hahaha..aw, someone still grumpy?

I'd have to say I'm in shock, I woke up this morning hungover and was like 'did that really happen?'

 

[SM]

I'm actually quite concerned about the Tigers, as a Swans fan. They were the only undefeated team in games against us in our Premiership year, and at the MCG I don't think our game plan stands up very well against theirs, for whatever reason. I'm being deadly serious.

 

[le dominateur]

If the Blues beat the Bombers this friday and Richmond beat Adelaide which they should, then the top 8 is basically set.

Lucky you've got us at the scg this year

 

[Tiger2709]

No.

West Coast are just more ordinary than we all thought.

We only have to beat 13 ordinary sides and we started that in round one.

You know you have hit a nerve when you make a flippant remark and get 20 quotes from tiger supporters.

That word is taboo

That word is taboo

My Dad's a Richmond fan, I actually sincerely hope we play you in Finals, and that you win. It would bring him so much happiness, and I don't really have a right to be disappointed if that were to occur. Would love to see the Tiges win a Final this year.

 

[juss]

I think we will be 9-4 or at worst 8-5 which is a pretty good position coming home. Far from a finals lock but if we get to 9-4 I'd be pretty confident we could win atleast 3-5 games in the second half of the year to make finals. Our percentage is pretty decent for once too.
