Wow! That's like a complete opposite run home to the Tigers.

The worst kind of analysis.
Team A beat Team B by X amount of points.
My team beat Team B by more than that. Therefore, Team A isn't as good as people are saying.
freo could be in the middle of a 4+ game losing streak
good team, tough draw

Yep, Port is the biggest example of this. Historically always been a flat track bully. Beat up on the lower sides to pad their percentage and lose to top 4 teams consistently.
Melbourne have the potential to just get the job done, which is the main thing to do during H&A. Obviously it's nice to pump sides every week but it just doesn't work that way.

Tigers draw remaining is
Sydney - SCG
Port - MCG
Carlton MCG
Geelong MCG
WCE MCG
Suns - Metricon - Good record up there in recent times, plus won a lot of games there in the HUB.
North - Marvel
Freo MCG
Lions MCG
Port - AO
Hawks MCG
Bombers MCG
Sydney away without Lynch will be very tough, Carlton and Geelong will be tough games, PA away is always tough.
Reckon we win minimum of 8 of those on form , 10 all going well but like anyone else it depends on injuries at the back end of year.

1. Melbourne (freakishly above the rest of the comp)
2. Brisbane (clear second favourite, only team I see contending to the dees)
3. Fremantle (don’t knock them. Every team has the odd purple patch)
4. Sydney (I believe the swans can string together quite a few wins in the next few rounds, their best football is great)
5-8 could be anywhere between Geelong to Gold Coast.

I'd take 8 wins in a heartbeart. I don't think we're as well equipped for the better opponents as some think. Will finish 7th-12th.

I agree with your take on the Saints but you have forgotten that we have missed several key players for majority of the year. Jones, Billings and Clark missed several games at the start of the year, then Higgins has missed 4 games as well(through concussion), Butler missed the last two weeks and Steele now out for 6.

One small correction - your game against Freo is at Marvel - which is why we have a slither of a chance.

Yeah Tigers suck at Marvel, they lost to the Suns there last year.

My apologies funny enough I think Freo are one of the interstate teams that would have a semi decent record against us at the MCG over the past 6 years?
Don't want to mention we beat St Kilda by 86 there last year?
If you are referring to Freo, 'Purple Patch' means a run of success or good luck.
Not a run of outs, as in losing their last two.
Richmond are 2-3 at Marvel since the start of 2021. Wouldn't say you guys have a great record for playing there. Your coach moans about playing there every chance he can.
Its a brutal draw, but thats why they had to bank wins against GC and Collingwood.
Hopefully Port are out of it by the time we get to the away game. We are very much a momentum team, to challenge top 4 we will need to win out after the Geelong game. 2 of the next 4 will keep us in contention.
Haha, yeah once. Nice try Cornesy.
I reckon the dogs will surge. Win next week and that makes it 4 in a row.
Even though we seem to have had a more difficult draw so far than most of the top teams, we still have a pretty brutal run home (Brisbane twice, Sydney twice, Geelong in Geelong, Carlton, Freo and Bulldogs). Probably the hardest draw to come of any team.
I think 3 and 4th are up for grabs. Feels like you will need 15 with a strong percentage to get there, or even 16 wins. Doesn't mean that it won't end up the way it is, but definitely not guaranteed.

Your team should be safe, provided your team doesn't encounter anyone brandishing a didgeridoo LoL.
If you do see anyone armed with a didgeridoo, do nothing but run for your life LoL

As bad as those losses were, banking wins against Geelong in Geelong and Melbourne has neutralised the impact. Even Melbourne loses at home to lesser teams though
. Pies defeating Saints, Suns + Pies beating the Blues helps too.
