I'm hoping we steal a win over either Melbourne or Adelaide but that run home looks mightly bleak now...
-
3 games if we are really lucky - Adel is the best chance we have TBH
have to beat N0rt, nothing else matters now for me ;D
-
Could win 4
Likely 0 or 1
I'll go with 2 because I have a feral pubic bush
Give me Adelaide and either Melbourne/Sydney as they're the three sides who the majority of my mates barrack for
A competitive effort in Perth as I'll be at that game would be appreciated
Cheers lads :cheers

What mates?
I've gone with 2.
-
What mates?
Fred, Milko, Scooby, Casper, Alfalfa, Slimer, Beetlejuice... you know the gang
-
Milko hates you mate. and pretty sure he's a dogs supporter
as for the topic, 2.
-
We won't win another game, we actually don't deserve to win one either. We won't beat North, not now they have their tails up after beating the Dogs and they are playing much better than us.
-
Beyond caring anymore.
I have seen this show too many times...Richmond playing inspired footy in May only to be the worst team running around by rd 15.
2002 we were 4-4
2003 we were 6-2
2004 we were 4-4
2005 we were 7-2
Any win we have now is just wallpaper over the cracks

Let's not forget though, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
-
Depends on this game against Geelong coming up, If we had a red hot go and actually compete then 2 or maybe 3.
If we give up at quarter time and display what we did against Gold Coast then 0. I would say we would beat Adelaide in Melbourne but it's at AAMI unfortunately >:(
-
The round 23 game against Adelaide is the one that will depend on whether we get a top 10 draft pick or not.
Having said that on current form and the opposition we play we'll be lucky to win one.

Yes, true but we need 2 or 3 wins to write off the last couple of months as a black hole
-
said after the melb game we would lose 8 in a row in a thread i started on big footy. sheesh how wrong can one be i thought we could probably snag one but i reckon losing 10 in a row is now odds on.
-
My prediction: 1 win.
We'll have another 6 weeks (including the bye) winless - during which we'll play some truly deplorable football much like the past 4 weeks, then somehow we'll scrape home in Round 24 against Norf by less than a goal. What will inevitably then happen is that we'll go into the pre-season with the media predicting finals for next year based on that one performance.
-
2-3 WINS
Adelaide, Melb or Syd games... North?? pump us if they need to get in the finals
There should be no excuse for not giving everything this week against the cats, we have a bye the following week and plenty of time to rest up :thumbsup

Hardly. If they made a ladder based on the results from Dreamtime onwards we would be on the bottom on % from Port Adelaide and Gold Coast.

No logic behind it, but this is the media we're talking about...

Its true though Dizz. Statistically we are the worst performed side since the Dreamtime Round.

and not just statistically. Our "endeavour" has been minimal at best.

The Herald-Sun is predicting we won't win another game this year.
RICHMOND 13th (5-1-11)
R20 West Coast (PS)
R21 Sydney (MCG)
R22 Melbourne (MCG)
R23 Adelaide (AS)
R24 North Melbourne (ES)
The lowdown: Well and truly out of the finals race now. Last week's bye has given the team the chance to take stock before a tough trip to Perth this weekend. The only interest for the Tigers - aside from player development - is bettering last year's haul of six wins.

No surprise, many of us called it a while ago when the wheel fell off after the Essendon game. Just want to finish as low as possible now.
-
We will win 4 or 5 games and finish in our usual spot.
Ninth.
:outtahere
