Well here we site 6th overall, I would never have thought that at the start of the season. We have to chalk this up as big improvement.
A lot of luck we can make the 4, No luck we drop out of the finals.
Looking at these games we should win against Bris and GWS. This will probably put finals destiny out of our own hands.
We need 2 extra wins somewhere.
Can we do it? Who will they be? Who needs to stand up? I would like to see Jack with a different attitude, Our midfield has been great, Lids now is the time to show everything you got. The boys gutsed it out on Saturday against the Suns.
Can Dan repeat that performance? Will injuries strike us down.?
I think Carl and Ess are must wins, which means we need to win one in the next 3 weeks.
It canna be done? give me warp 10 Scotty...She'll never take it Capn!! Cotch will lead us through!!
-
Think we will win 3 more and we need too, the N0rt loss and the loss of % that went with it makes me think 12 might not be enough for us
Wins: GWS, Brisbane, Carlton
With us being a massive show against the Hawks & Bombers
Can't see us beating Sydney at the SCG
-
2 sure things
Rest 50/50
-
Think we should beat GWS and Brisbane (though the Lions were very good against the Roos :-\).
The extra win will come against Sydney with us a sneaky chance in every other game. We are just as likely to lose 5 of the last seven as win 4 against some strong opposition.
Freo would be a great scalp!
-
I thought Essendon lost a lot of drive with Watson out of the side.
To beat Ess AND Carlton would mean we are true contenders for the 8, To beat Freo true contenders for top 6, To beat them PLUS either Syd or Hawth will mean we are top 4.
Throw down the gloves...game on.
-
13/14 wins i reckonz
-
14 wins meaning IMHO
Freo win
Sydney loss
Hawthorn loss
Brisbane win
Carlton win
GWS win
Essendon depends on ASADA
Ask me about that game in a few weeks. ;)
-
makes me think 12 might not be enough for us
12 will be plenty this year
Adelaide and Norf need to win their last 7 to make it to 13 wins, so that wont happen.
Leaves Carlton and WCE who are both 7-8.
WCE have got Sydney, Geel, Coll, Ess on the way home and wont be winning more than 4 you wouldnt think.
Carlton have got Norf, Freo, Us, Ess and port away. They MIGHT win 5, but wont be going 6-1.
This is the year that 12 is plenty.
Our % is 116 and better than Carlton and the Eagles, and we still have GWS.
-
Locking in: GWS
Likely: Carlton, Brisbane
Possible: Freo
Unlikely: Sydney, Hawthorne, Essendon
So hopefully the first three, then manage another scalp or two if we're lucky. I suspect 13-14 wins this year :)

6. RICHMOND
40pts 116.7%
R17: Fremantle, MCG

R20: Brisbane Lions, MCG
R21: Carlton, MCG
R22: Greater Western Sydney, Skoda Stadium
R23: Essendon, MCG
Matt says:
Conservatively you could say Richmond will lose four of its remaining games, but the Tigers are likely to be safely ensconced in the eight come the end of Round 23 regardless. Sunday's clash with Fremantle shapes as the match of the round: it's huge for Freo, who are pushing for top four, and huge for Tigers fans looking to lower the blood pressure slightly. Beat the Dockers and Damien Hardwick's chargers are an absolute lock for finals.

Rohan Connolly in The Age today reckons we'll win only two of our remaining games - against Brisbane and GWS.

being realistic.
freo - loss
syd - loss
haw - loss
br - 50/50 with a leaning toward the tiges.
ca - is without a doubt 50/50
gws - win
ess - loss
to be certain we probably have to win all 3 of br, ca gws. win two and it will probably come down to percentage.
let me say 50/50 means exactly that it could go either way.
lots of people thinking we have already made finals im not so sure about that.
-
Brisbane are out bunnies. 50+
-
would expect to win 4 or 5 of our remaining games
-
For me 3-5 wins
freo - win
syd - loss
haw - loss
br - win
ca - possible
gws - win
ess - possible
-
Well how does that change our number of wins?, Still got 3 more on the board for me.
-
I voted 7. Still on track. :shh
-
I voted 7. Still on track. :shh
Love your work
-
I voted 2. Still on track :shh
-
Hmmm, thats one we didnt expect, 2 from next 4, shd be easy 3 possible and 4 improbable but not impossible? In reality can we contemplate top 4 finish?
-
Out of Freo, Sydney and Hawks it wouldn't have been a surprise to lose all 3, and many went in hoping we could snatch just one. We got 2 from 3. Massive effort :thumbsup
-
I topped us to win 14 games but 15 or even 16 is not out of the question. :thumbsup

And yet just 8 weeks ago we all thought Dimma was developing the latest batch if malakies ;D
Nice to be wrong :thumbsup

Frustrated after the Peptideton loss and went overboard but hey that was then this is now.
We roll on a week to week basis on OER. ;D
I have always been supportive of Dimma. I guess the closer you get to tangible success the more frustrated you are when you lose.
-
We get our finals games at the G, lookout! Anything is possible
-
Should win at least 2 more, should be 3, quite possibly 4.
So glad nobody can give us the 'you've got no scalps' crap now, especially after the 'all the stars weren't playing' excuse we got for beating Freo (despite Pav and Sandi being out basically all year anyway...).
-
As other have said we should finish now with at least 14 wins. No reason if we play our best footy we can't win all remaining 4 matches.

The run home: round 20

6. Richmond
52 points (13 wins, six losses) 116.2 per cent
To the relief of their long-suffering fans, the Tigers officially booked their spot in September by doing only what was required against the Brisbane Lions. Coach Damien Hardwick has signalled that he won’t simply be satisfied with merely making the eight but shoring up a strong position within it, so now is the time for the Tigers to tune up for the business end of the season by winning at least two, if not all three, of their remaining games to push for a top-four berth. MCG blockbusters against Carlton and Richmond will tell the tale, split by a welcome percentage-boosting opportunity against Greater Western Sydney.
The run home:
Rd 21: Carlton at the MCG
Rd 22: Greater Western Sydney at Skoda Stadium
Rd 23: Essendon at the MCG

-
Should and really must win the last 3, will send us into the finals choc full of form and confidence.. :gotigers
-
Look like we could exceed my expectations if we could win the next 3 :pray no doubt we are capable, lets get it done :cheers
