Richmond top 8 2009

[I'm the Juggernaut]

Yay my favourite thing - a Richmond topic started by a Hawthorn supporter - another knob jockey

I think the comp's been quite poor the last couple of years so won't be surprised to see any of 13 teams make the 8.

As for Richmond, my guess would be 7-10.

You would think that Richmond would have to make the finals for Plow to keep his job next year.
If the Tiges change coach then or during the year (if they have a bad run early in the season) then it looks like a list revamp again, although not from such a low base as last time.
Wallace must be a great dissapointment to the Richmond faithfull but I can't help but think his best and most inovative coaching years were at the Bulldogs

Reckon 7th

I cant really see it happening. Just have no confidence in the inept leaders of our club. 3 recent resignings have just pushed me to my limit of faith

Same over here.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Same over here.

what's with the lack of passion and knowledge about out current list from tiger supporters

So why all the ninth jokes when they have only finished ninth once on five years ( 2004 was 16th)??

Here are Richmonds results since there has been a top 8

1994 9th
1995 4th
1996 9th
1997 13th
1998 9th
1999 12th
2000 9th
2001 3rd
2002 14th
2003 13th
2004 16th
2005 12th
2006 9th
2007 16th
2008 9th

You could make a good argument for the continued improvement in Richmond in 09. A large portion of the improvement can be attributed to younger players who should improve with more preseasons , experience etc. The problem is that While 5-8 might look to be a fair assessment based on expected improvement there really wasn't much separating about 6 other also rans.

3-11 really don't look that far separated from each other. I'm pretty sure every supporter of teams in that region could pin point 2 or more games that got away from them that would have changed their season.

Maybe next year will be the changing of the guard for some teams. There really is only so long that the "aging" teams can hang on . Although I say that in hope ... the Sydneys, Adelaides etc just continue to defy.

Will Richmond make the Finals in 2009, i havn't watched them all that much, have they got much talent?

Where do people think they will finish?

After feeding all the avaliable information into the computer about Richmonds chances of making the top 8 in 2009.

Computer says .............. no

I am sooo glad I didn't post in this thread. FWIW I thought the tigers would be a top 8 chance this year. I don't know what happened?!?!

 

[Rosstickle]

If we beat Saints this year we may have taken 7th spot. Could and should have been 4th if we beat Dogs too. 2 games we should have won. No Bomber fans telling us we should have lost to them. We shouldn't have let them back in the game in the first place

Looks like this despicable turncoat won't be back for a while. Lets just hope his new team has all the success that Celtic's new team did.

Even in a thread about Richmond there were multiple people laughing off Essendons chances of being a finals contender.

They still are. 64 points.

 

[George Washington]

They still are. 64 points.

We have beaten 3 teams in the 8 at the moment, and by your logic Brisbane who are sitting in 4th, won't make the 8 due to losing to Geelong by 93 points?
