You realise that we'd have to travel even more than right?? That's not going to make it fair.

Rance is so overrated
The AFL have done their best to get richmond into the GF, now it's just up to the team.
Give it a rest bud, we get to play a total of 1 more game at our home ground than you do.
LOL...Keep telling yourself that.
Yes, I will keep telling myself the truth.
Tell me, what would you change in our fixture?
How is one to enter into a meaningful discussion when one starts a conversation with LOL. Kids these days...I tell ya.
Cats for mine are worthy favourites at this point in time. They've clearly played the best footy throughout the season.
How many times did Richmond have to leave Melbourne this year?
So far we’ve left our state 5 times this year.
We’ve also gotten to host 3 teams who’ve travelled from their home state.
Lucky us!

Tiges have got some great form about them but form fluctuates.
West Coast looked a million dollars yesterday and if they brought that with them could roll anyone. The great thing about Richmond however is the MCG factor and Friday night they broke a '' mini '' hoodoo as the Pies touched them up in round 2 and in that Prelim last year. I reckon they'd get the '' wobbles '' which is ironic if the Pies meet them in the same game this year. Once again, form fluctuates, but it doesn't always. On current form the Tige's best is the best along with the Eagles.
GWS in the last two weeks have been very impressive and showed strong resolve on the road. However they did that twice last year winning in Adelaide and the South Australian sides are once again looking very ordinary. So too are the Pies, so how much do we read into both Richmond and GWS's rich vein of form? Port have been average too. Richmond's winning sequence has come against the Saints, Suns, Power and Pies. GWS's against Collingwood and Port. This could be an in depth subject and could go many different ways. We'll get a true gauge in two weeks when the Tige's and Eagles meet.
In any case IMO all you can do is beat what you have in front of you and some teams fare better against others, form changes, every game is different. For the time being Richmond must be considered the best with WCE behind in second or on level pegging. The Catters could come into form again and the Giants if they continue to do hold form BUT be strong in Melbourne are among the best as well ( MCG form is horrid, Etihad may be average too ) Collingwood were beaten twice by Richmond last year, GWS in round 2, Hawthorn in round 1, Geelong, Sydney and WCE yet made the Grand Final and almost won it. Football's a ****en funny game.
Right now though Richmond are favourites by a whisker.
1. Richmond
2. WCE
3. Geelong
4. GWS/Collingwood
5. Brisbane/Essendon
On the Lions. I'd favour Essendon to beat them on the MCG.

I’ve never understood the fascination with being labelled a premiership favourite, it ultimately means nothing. If you’re thereabouts you have a shot, that’s all that counts.
If they make the Top 2, definitely. If there's a chance they gave to travel to Perth, maybe Brisbane, for a final, there's a little bit of doubt.

They’d be as well off finishing 4th. Home not home game vs Geelong
Cotchin possibly out for the year hurts a lot.
Yes lucky you!
Classic
I take that as no argument
Yep, I know that's true! We would have to do even more. But travel aside, there is no way the fixtures are anywhere near a fair comp>
Including Rnd 17 how many games in a row will richmond play at the G ?
If they have to play an elimination final in Perth, they will be hammered. If they get lucky and play a Qualifying final at home, then they will be favourites IMO
It's very hard to beat Eagles in Perth, no shame losing that. I think Tigers are capable of beating Brisbane at the Gabba though, should that eventuate. I think any top 4 final is an interesting game, none of them are givens.
