Everyone blamed the bye for loses Richmond have the same break for next week game against West coast beware
 
Looks like we’re going to be sitting 12th tonight being one game out and 20% in arrears to Cats.
We’ll all know in 7-12 weeks.
Serious question how much percentage can we make up against the Eagles. All we gotta do is win our next 2, then take it from there
 
Surely the Eagles is not a Danger games. lol I get what you mean though. I would not want it to come down to beating port in the final round.


Danger games to me are ones we should cream, but could lose as, well, it happens.

Since the end of 2020, i have seen us lose a number of games in that category - we play "up" or "Down" to our opponent. Some of our absolute worst performances have been to bottom 5 teams.

If we win by 50pts, we will go up to 99%. If we win by 100, we go up to 104%.

Our percentage issue is what it is and wont change unless more teams draw for it to become more of a factor.

We cant catch the Cats 117% & Carlton & Sydney, i think, will both likely not be able to make up enough ground to be relevant anyway. Effectively all it means at the moment is we lose the tie-breaker to Geelong. We would need to see Syd & Carlton really amp it up to be a factor, & if either does - i dare say it will likely mean their % will be growing at a similar rate to our own anyway. I just don't see this team and forwardline having the ability to make Percentage an ":advantage" for us.

Good question , but we don’t seem to be a team that goes for big kills so I reckon tops 6%. Just got to keep winning as there’s a few 8 point games next week.
 
Adelaide have gone lwlwlwlwl in their last nine games with all their losses away and all wins at home. They have three easy home games and the Port one is their tough one. They’ll lose all their away games except the last game against WCE. So they’ll only win around 4-5 Games.

we'll loose
 
Would set up a big game vs Melbourne then
lets not het ahead of ourselves

every Richmond supporter knows we'll likely drop one of west campaigners or the stinky poos
 
Looking at the ladder, recent results and pondering..... I have to wonder if its going to be this team that is going to be the Tom Wambsgans of the "Race to the Finals" .....

Giants
"8 Pointers" (6) - Crows (away), Suns (Home), Dogs (Away), Swans, Bombers (Home), Carlton
Underdog (1) - Port (Away)


Nearly all their games are 8 Pointers, but mostly against the "fringe contenders" like Carlton, Suns, Swans & arguably Crows. It makes the clash against Rivals the dogs much watch TV & their home game against the Bombers possibly D-Day for both clubs. The Giants have been there abouts all season & sneaky tough, resilence and most importantly - good form. They look like a pretty tough unit to me that could thrive on the "sudden death" nature to their run home.

It all hinges pretty much on their game against the Crows this week. What a bloody cracker that will be
 
I had us losing to Melbourne and Port Adelaide.
Probably switch 6th and 7th, does not matter will be played on the MCG anyway.

We beat Geelong in a QF
We beat them in a PF
We beat them in a GF

So only EF and SF to go….

Beating Melbourne is non negotiable if we are going to make it. We need to be up and about going into the Marvel games and already in the 8.

All depends if our expensive midfield can play like the 2nd half of last week for the rest of the season. The forward line will probably struggle so we need the mids to fire.
 
The Marvel games against Dogs and Saints will probably be over at 1/4 time. Can't remember playing well there. Our % is gonna kill us and the cats and blues having a draw with superior % makes it near impossible. Port over there and if we lose at Marvel the Dee's season will still be on so potentially gonna lose 4 and finish 10th/ 11th.
 
win all remaining games and we will make top 4 and play pies in the qf

looks easy on paper as shemans have oliver out and finch who kicks 3-4 goals against us every time

if pears keep winning they will be ripe for an ambush in rd 24 with big sexy back in the side the previous week and that would lock in top 4

surely we beat shemans , aints and doggies , theyre all putrid

we could loose one and still make top 4 if results go our way too

imagine injecting big sexy into the side around round 21 🤤
