Nah. It's a clear race between the Dogs, Demons and Cats this year. Everyone else just making up the numbers.
Dogs and Demons GF would be a pretty entertaining watch, I'm kind of rooting for it tbh.

Sydney @ MCG (away game but AFL force Swans to play it at MCG and not GMHBA)
Geelong @ MCG
Melbourne @ MCG
Bulldogs @ MCG
Not an unrealistic chance of happening unfortunately.

They'd rather it stay in Qld. Unbeatable at Metricon. Terrible record at the G this year
So, how long till some ****wit writes the ‘Tigers can still win this’ article?

Cam Rayner also a massive loss for them.
Their flag hopes rest of Daniher staying fit and Charlie Cameron playing a blinder every week

In the wash up at the end of the season I think Hipwood doing his knee ended their chances of winning the flag.

If the tigers beat Geelong next week they are back again. Impressive performance tonight.
Not sure what to make of the match tonight.
Have Richmond improved, are Brisbane sliding or is it just reflective of playing at that grease pit at Carrara?
Perhaps it is all three.
Nankervis returning made a massive difference to keeping the Tigers competitive around stoppages and his presence dropping back shored up the defence in the absences of Balta and Vlastuin.
Brisbane desperately missed Hipwood from their forward structure, but arguably the absence of Adams from the defence was felt even more - with Andrews lacking any assistance, the talls up forward for Richmond were able to cash in, kicking 12 of their total of 16 goals.
As has been mentioned elsewhere, that is now 11 wins in succession for Richmond on the Gold Coast. If any team can be pleased by the current circumstance of rescheduling matches to there it would be the Tigers.
Next week will provide more answers to the questions raised by tonight.
Geelong will provide the test of Richmond's improved capability whilst Gold Coast should be accounted for by Brisbane without too much trouble even with their injury worries if they are genuine challenger for a top 4 position.

Sounds significantly worse than ribs
Practically shirtfronted Robinson and still comes off second best.

Saints will be 7th if they get up here. Not bad considering they looked gone earlier in the season
The battle for 7th and 8th has become a real shitfight the last couple weeks.
Us, Freo, Richmond, Saints & GWS (and a long stretch, Essendon) all fighting for two spots.
Some real trash matchups today.
Dusty has done well for 200+ games without an injury of any note - probably the most durable player in the league for a guy who loves the crash and bash.
He’ll probably play next week.
He’ll probably play next week.
That’s the thing though - while he obviously takes good care of himself to be so durable, he’s not really a crash and bash player. Fends off his opponents so well that he rarely finds himself at the bottom of packs. Cotchin is much more that player for Richmond
He takes his share of tackles tho - not a bottom of the pack but he is definitely getting his share of contact.
Thinking of it, the most durable in and under has to be our very own Matt Priddis - that guy was bottom of the packs and rarely injured - kinda the Anti-Daniel Kerr.
