These are the games where we may be able to get the four points.
Round 7 - Adelaide
Round 8 - Hawthorn
Round 9 - Essendon
Round 10 - Port Adelaide
Even if we only won 1 of these, it'd be a big boost for our kids.

Danog, what medication are you on ??????

You don't think we can beat Essendon or Adelaide? I reckon we have a shot.

I don't think he really cares. He watches Richmond on his tv because he can't be bothered going to the games. You could say he barracks for the Tigers as a hobby but he doesn't really care if they win or not and he doesn't really know the capabilities of our young list for the future :o. He's also 120kg and 5'11" and he kicks like a sissy 8)

MT, you're on the other side of the spectrum. Your endless optimism makes me want to put a bullet in my head sometimes.
-
Essendon is our best chance of a win.
Going into our round 9 game with the Bombers there could be one win for the season between the sides.
Could be an end for Matty Knights.
-

Yep - they cant stop a run on. If we can put 2 quarters together like we did against freo in the 1st we will beat Essendon. Knights isnt a long term coach IMHO. Did his best and is now being found out IMHO.
-
Beating them Bombers would be nice. They are bloody awful at the moment and I reckon they wouldnt come back at us like Freo did, they would lay down.

well go ahead 8)

All 4 teams will get beat before the week we play them.
We will get them on the rebound.
Also 2 games in 4 weeks at AAMI, forget it, hope we win, reality we wont

If the Crows lose the derby next week both us and the Crows will be 0-6 going into our game in Round 7.
There will be more pressure on Adelaide than us going into this one even though I expect Adealise to win well as they regularly do against us.

Yeah, that's the general idea with bad sides. The same argument could be said for them facing us. ;)
-
At least we might go in with a bit of a chance.

Thank you Tuckerbag.
Port will beat Adelaide next week,
Keep in mind we will be coming off a Geelong flogging :banghead
-
No one wants to be the first side to lose to us.
Can remember 2001 when Freo just kept on losing and beat Hawthorn at the Dome in Round 18 after leading by 40 points. The microscope and embarassment Hawthorn were subjected to was huge to say the least.
A win will be great and cherished the pressure ultimately is on the opposition to get the win as there will be no games this year we will go in as favourites.
-
We've got a fair shot against adelaide i think and the bombers.
-

we showed we were more competetive with Foley and a few others in the side, cuz should get better and we have a couple of others to come in and replace non contributors in Tambling and Farmer...we could upset one of those sides

The crows have the wood on us . Believe our best chance is Essendon.

If the Bombers keep dropping games, and the rumours that Knights doesn't have support from the players, we beat them I think Knighta will go.

essendon will be the new richmond
ex players having too much to say too much pull too much power
herd lloyd and lucas are just jealous fools, just cos they played and were very good players does not give them the right to undermine and bag knights
i will have knights coach us anyday at least he has passion and its not his fault he is coaching club that has e xplayers with an agenda and hatred for knighter
-

I can understand that, they are premiership players, and they'd be thinking that Knights hasn't achieved anything.

Knights is contracted for 2.5 more years. Are you seriously suggesting they'll pay him out that amount?
-
Essendon i pray we beat

It's the internet Gordon, anything's possible!

how many gf did hafey win as a player
its not matty's fault he was playing in a poo team or poo era, if he played for the bombers in his time he would be seen as a legend!
he like the flea were champions in poo teams
herd lloyd and lucas were in great teams, imaging lloyd played 4 rfc , how many goal wuld he have kicked
all 3 are spoon fed silver spoon lucky bastards who never worked like a dog for anything
-
We play Adelaide the week after a showdown...I believe history suggests that the SA & WA teams are ripe for the picking after a SD or Derby.
However the Crows have been our krytonite for many a year.
-
whats the go with Essendon someone was lauding them last year. :lol
geez looked a bit like us last year on Sunday. :rollin
-
McLeod, Goodwin and Edwards love playing against us. As does Tippett. Essendon's forward line without Williams is not strong. If you keep Tabs on Watson their midfield is not that strong
-
Stanton is the one that kills us. He's their link-man coming out of defence. Stop him, and they will struggle to get our of our forward 50.

so does winderlich, except for plos first game where he creamed us
gotta also hold monfries, he is a small fwd and has good games v us as all small fwds do
-
I remember Winderlich killing us last year at Dreamtime.
Was instrumental in their third quarter resurgence bringing them back from 4 goals down to lead by 2 goals at 3 quarter time. Lovett and Lovett Murray were taking speccies that night like they were playing in the schoolyard.

Agree
Would think we are a real show against the Bombers
Ports the interesting one - we always seem to have close games against the Power. I've always recekoned it's because they start games off showing us little respect and it bites them ;D
-
Hard to see us getting close to winning any game at the moment but it would be ironic if we ended the careers of two opposition coaches in the space of a month :o.
The only thing in our favour is we've played top 9 sides so far based on the current ladder - Carl, Dogs, Syd, Melb, Freo and now Geelong. Playing Adelaide and Essendon is a drop down in class and confidence levels.
Adelaide has lost after a showdown the past 3 times but they won 6 straight after a showdown prior to that. I think the WA derby affects Freo and the Eagles moreso than the SA showdown.
Crows - no Dangerfield is another injury blow for them. They've been struggling to put a decent score on the board like us - 72, 55, 41, 75 and 62. Both sides haven't scored 80 points or more so far this year. If we get a strong start against them as we did against Freo it will make things interesting. Mind you our record at Footy Park is rubbish unlike Subi recently.
Hawks - they won't have to worry as much about not having a ruck division against us compared to other sides. Similarly their weak defence is up against our weak forward line. We just don't have the players in positions to expose their weaknesses.
Bombers - their no defence gameplan suits us because it doesn't put us constantly under pressure meaning we don't cough up the ball so readily. No coincidence our best effort and best skill level by far last year was against Essendon. It'll be a question if we can sustain enough pressure on them to force them into mistakes. So far we've struggled to even sustain pressure for even two quarters.
Port - no chance. We'll get flogged by 10 goals plus.
We may have to wait until R16 (North) or R18 (Adel at the 'G) to get our first win :-\

The Crows seem to be suffering continuous injury issues this year, and they just don't look dangerous. IMO, this game is our best shot for the first win
Hawks - they won't have to worry as much about not having a ruck division against us compared to other sides. Similarly their weak defence is up against our weak forward line. We just don't have the players in positions to expose their weaknesses.
Again they just don't look dangerous this year. Hawthorn have been one of the biggest disappointments of the year IMO. We are not completely out of this game either

Second best chance for our first win would be this game, Essendon are only going to get worse this year IMO
Port - no chance. We'll get flogged by 10 goals plus.
No way, this will be a close game for at least 2-3 quarters. I expect us to lose, but only by maybe 3-4 goals, not 10.

Agree. We need Martin and Cotch back next week though to pull it off.

I don't disagree with what you say about Hawthorn and I can't believe Clarkson risked Roughead in the ruck last week to the point Roughead could have done his knee :o. It's just I don't see us being any better in the areas they are weak in (ruck and defence). Simmo and Vickery would have to have a day out against Renouf so our mids had first use of the footy and likewise Jack, Morton, Nahas, Rance or whoever if playing forward would have to have day outs for us to get even close to winning. Also our ball movement and use out of the backline isn't up to scratch to penetrate a cluster zone. We saw in the NAB Cup how they ripped us to shreds feeding off our turnovers :P.

Let's hope so :thumbsup. An upset would create turmoil at Windy Hill lol.

Port are a mediocre side rather than a crap struggling side. They are superior to the other three teams above and they'll be pushing for that last spot in the top 8. Their smalls will carve us up on the spread sadly especially at Footy Park.
-
Adelaide players will be pretty devastated after leading the showdown by 7 points at 3/4 time and then coughing up 5 goals in 10 minutes to lose again. Will we catch them on a downer?
Someone should also tell the AFL site that the Crows are also cellar-dwellers :wallywink
"while the Crows will be hoping to open their account with a win over cellar-dweller Richmond at AAMI Stadium on Sunday."

where is the Port game here or there?

Footy Park Round 10 Bojangles. :thumbsup

Glad bombers beat hawks. Less pressure on bombers. Bombers have been very inconsistent. Hopefully that inconsistency will continue
-
Andrew Welsh was given 4 weeks from the Match Review Panel 3 weeks if he accepts an early guilty plea thus leaving him suspended for the Dreamtime Game in Round 9. This represents our best chance for a win in the first half of the season.
-
These 3 weeks are the RFCs 2010 Finals series.
If they win one out of the three they should release info on salary cap breaches and finish the year early.
