When we make the finals who should we play ?
-
Anyone, anytime, anyplace :shh
-
Port Magpiss are our bunnies.
-
It won't happen NO FINALS this year period. 10th at best but we are not a finals side.
-
my ladder predictor shows Richmond in 8th or 9th position and everything will come down to the last round where either we have to beat Sydney or Carlton have to beat Essendon for us to finish 8th.
-
BO do I detect a bit of the old jack little in them there comments ;D

I thought it was possible for us to win the last four, which we have, and remaining games.
Rance Martin cotchin jack deledio are all go alright and on our day we can beat most teams. Even hardwick will struggle to make these people lose all the time.
Apart from sydeny at the end perhaps.
Even if we make finals. It's still a great shame the coaching, playing efforts and list mismanagement this season
-
Scared of norf guys ?
-
We seem to match up badly with norf and are consistently out coached
-
We wont make finals, have you seen pies' draw? easy - bombres not much harder.
no chance
-
To entertain our imagination, we should play Port because we'd have a great chance of beating them.
North would smash us, but probably lose terribly to anybody else but us.
-
Melbourne.
-
don't stop believin -hold on to that feelin
-
So now we're only 2 games out of the 8. Even though I don't think we will make it, I've seen weirder things happen! :o
-
And now the pathetic losses to the Bulldogs, Melbourne and even North (after being 6 goals up at half-time) come back to haunt us :banghead. Sides that end up 3-10 don't deserve to play finals.

Yep

Adelaide beating the pies is a good result for Richmonds finals hopes.

what about sides that can win 9 in a row

Were they at the start of the season or the middle?
-
We just couldn't cover Rance, Lids and Maric or Jacko. If we had an injury run like last year we'd be knocking on the door of the top 4.
Depth needs to be addressed now
-
If Miles had been upgraded when he should have been we would have beaten the bulldogs and melbourne. that one error has cost us big time.

I jumped on the ladder predicator and if I'm correct, we would still need Collingwood to drop 3 games or Essendon to drop 4 for us to squeeze into 8th?
-
We can play finals this year
Either we win every game. ?
Or win next 4 games with a 10 goal win against Saints or GWS
Lose last game by small margin and we can still make it
Need one or 2 teams under us to have another upset .eg Brisbane and Carlton
Watch this space

:help problem will be if we do fluke it we likely play Freo
Grrrrr

see what asada say
-
I think 8th will end up with 13 wins.
The Richmond I know will beat Essendon and Adelaide (in Adelaide) but somehow lose to St Kilda .
-
id like more options in the poll please.
2 options isnt a poll. people need options damnit >:(
-
If Richmond finishes 8th should I reverse my statement that the rebuild has failed. Should I apologise? ;D

No way Ramps, not until they bring home an effn premiership
Stand your ground and keep the pressure on
-
Also Ramps soon we will be saying forty years of this crap instead of thirty years
FFS some of us will be dying soon without seeing a premiership
-
Need to develop new players. Need to draft well. Need some upside to our team

see what asada say
It has nothing to do with ASADA. You somehow think Essendon are going to be chucked out of the finals this year by who ASADA? Please, players will get suspended but will that stop Essendon playing finals? No
Facts are we are relying on the results of other teams to make finals, so just on that alone we don't deserve to make it. Our destiny should be in our hands and our hands alone and it isn't
If by some miracle we do make it, great but not going to get all excited think it may when it most likely wont

If we can beat all the sides in the run home one can legitimately say we deserve to make it. However, I can't see us beating a few of them so that isn't going to happen.

All well and good say we beat them all = great. But we are also relying on a number of teams above us to lose too and that's the issue here IMHO
If we had won games we should have in the first half of the season we wouldn't be in this mess...of having to have teams around us lose on top of winning. Us winning all games is no guarantee we make it..
-
Nice troll thread , we aint getting anywhere near finals.
-
Using the ladder predictor
And recent form
We go very close
And that's even allowing for a small loss last round
Trick is we require one 10 goal plus win
And need Brisbane .West Coast and Carlton to have one win each against the odds
Not impossible on recent form

Perhaps "debacle" is the wrong word. But make finals and the problems that have been glaringly obvious all season don't suddenly disappear. Finals paper over the cracks. Our lack of depth, poor list don't suddenly become "non issues". They are still there and need to be addressed.
Yes we had a period of bad form and what did we do to fix it? Our coaches just kept playing (rewarding) the under performers rather than giving opportunities to kids who deserved it.
The last 5 weeks cannot and should not lull the club into some sort of false form of security that everything is fantastic now. They still have huge issues to address

12. Richmond
28 points (seven wins, 10 losses) 101.3 per cent
The Tigers have given their season a late air of respectability with four straight wins but, like the Eagles, they could win all five of their remaining games and still not make the finals. And given Richmond meets Essendon and has away clashes with Adelaide and the Sydney Swans to come, Damien Hardwick's men can start making their September holiday plans now.
The run home:
Rd 19: Greater Western Sydney at the MCG
Rd 20: Essendon at the MCG
Rd 21: Adelaide at Adelaide Oval
Rd 22: St Kilda at the MCG
Rd 23: Sydney Swans at ANZ Stadium

MATT SAYS: Will jump West Coast into 11th but are Gold Coast, Collingwood and Adelaide catchable? Simply, the Tigers must beat the Crows in Round 21 to keep the door to the eight ajar, but realistically the Tigers must win all five games and hope the teams above them falter drastically.

Ess: Rich, WCE, GC, Carl
GC: Carl, Port, Ess, WCE

9. GC 12 wins (lower %)
10. Adel 11 wins
11. Coll 11 wins
12. WC 10 wins
The problem still is we can't afford to drop one game especially the next two against Essendon and Adelaide (away), while we also need the other sides just above us to keep dropping games for us to make up the two win difference in only 4 weeks. Any of the above sides regain some form and get on a roll then we are stuffed no matter what.
-
I'd back Carlton to beat the Gold Coast next week, which gives us a game buffer.
-
The next two week will tell us if we are still mentally weak or we have changed.
The next two week will really define Hardwick as coach.
-
Massive second half coming up here for us.
-
Our remote chance is still just alive despite the Pies winning tonight by a kick :banghead but we need to the Eagles to beat the Pies in Perth next week and even then we'll need to rely on boosting our percentage. It goes to show you can't rely on other results going our way even if we win all our games.
Rich: Ess, Adel, St K, Syd
North: GWS, WB, Adel, Melb
Ess: Rich, WCE, GC, Carl
Coll: WCE, Bris, GWS, Haw

Finish 9th then replace Essendon who get barred from finals again - that has a certain poetic charm to it

It's good for football when Richmond is in the finals race
Six weeks ago, the Tigers' season looked done and dusted after their fourth straight loss. Now, they've won their last five and are knocking on the door of the eight, which has set up a blockbuster clash with Essendon next Friday night. For the finals-starved Richmond fans, the fact they remain a mathematical chance is a significant feat with four rounds remaining and will no doubt boost the interest in Friday night's game. The Tiger Army is one of the more passionate ones – demonstrated when recently retired forward Jake King chose to sit in the cheer squad on Saturday – and having them involved in the run to September, regardless of how unlikely an actual finals berth is, adds to the game's theatre. - Jennifer Phelan.

12. Richmond
32 points (eight wins, 10 losses) 103.1 per cent
Five straight wins have given the Tigers' season an unexpected air of respectability. The Tigers can, mathematically, make the finals by winning only three of their remaining games. In fact, they could drop one more match and still finish as high as sixth. In a world of realistic results, to give themselves any chance the Tigers must finish August unbeaten. Upcoming meetings with Essendon and Adelaide make that scenario unlikely. A round 23 road trip to face the Swans makes it almost impossible.
The run home:
Rd 20: Essendon at the MCG
Rd 21: Adelaide at Adelaide Oval
Rd 22: St Kilda at the MCG
Rd 23: Sydney Swans at ANZ Stadium

A mathematical chance? Why Richmond will disappoint again in 2014
By Michael Cowley,
TheRoar.com.au
4 Aug 2014
As a footy fan, this is one of the better times of the year. A month out from the finals, there is anticipation for those with their team secure in the eight and there is anxiety for others as their boys teeter on the edge.
For the rest, it’s about looking for positives in that final month which you can carry over the long months of spring and summer.
But August always brings with it something else – the arrival of the amateur mathematician.
Every footy fan whose team is sitting precariously in 9th, or 10th, or 11th, 12th – or even as far down as 16th depending on how congested the ladder is – will cling grimly to hope their team can reach the finals, for as long as it is: “mathematically possible.”
Regardless of how unlikely it may be at times, where this is life there is hope – and mathematicians.
On the first Saturday of the penultimate month, there they were: “Richmond has remained a mathematical chance of playing finals”.
It got me thinking about the Tigers. Clearly and rightly labelled as the disappointment of the 2014 season just a month and a half ago, could they have actually turned things completely around?
Could they not only mathematically make the finals, but realistically make it? Could they be ready to fulfil some of that 2013 potential and actually make some noise in September?
Well they could, but personally I don’t think they will and 2014 will continue to go down as a season of discontent and disappointment for the club and their supporters.
It was only back in late June after Round 14 that the Tigers had hit their lowest point in the season. A fourth consecutive loss saw them sitting in 16th place on the ladder with a 3-10 record, and ahead of only Brisbane and St Kilda.
That’s correct, even Melbourne and GWS were looking down on them.
Ironically, it came after one of their better performances, and a game which, although disappointing at the time, could have been a turning point. It was the night they played the Swans and led by 26 points midway through the second term, only to be eventually run down by the team now most favour to win the flag.
Since that wet night, things have improved markedly for Richmond and they have not lost a game.
Now we must clarify the “not lost a game” by mentioning the opponents in those subsequent five wins.
Firstly, a win over the then last placed St Kilda, followed by a win over the then 17th placed Lions in Melbourne, then came a win against a Port outfit on a losing slide, followed by a good win in awful conditions against the Eagles in Perth.
Then, against 16th placed GWS on Saturday, they won their fifth in succession but having led by six goals at the main break, they failed to “go on with it”, actually being outscored in the second half.
Richmond back? I don’t think they look like a shadow of the 2013 side. I wouldn’t be getting too excited about a really unflattering five-game winning streak.
The big one is next Friday against Essendon. While the Bombers were OK against Sydney, they are not exactly going to be sending tremors down the spines of Tigers’ players. Still they did give the Tiges a touch up earlier in the season.
Just for the sake it though, let’s give them this one and move them to nine wins.
Following that they have Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval. Certainly not a fortress yet judging by the way they were belted by West Coast, and taking a line through that form, then the Tigers would have to be an even money chance at least.
And then they have St Kilda at home … you can write that one in ink (although Ross Lyon probably said that a couple of weeks ago), and then with 11 wins in the bank, the final round.
Sydney at ANZ Stadium. The Tigers have lost their last seven in Sydney dating back to 2004, and will meet a Swans’ team possibly looking to secure top spot, and a home final, and be in peak form heading into September. Good luck with that Richmond.
But, again, let’s just say, for the sake of it that they beat the Swans and finish with 12 wins and 10 losses. Will that be enough?
I don’t think it will. It will more than likely lead to another ninth-placed finish and will end a season that promised so much but in the end delivered what Richmond teams have delivered so often in the past, disappointment.
Last year I was along for the ride too. I enjoyed the excitement surrounding the Tigers making the finals again, and how it was a feel good story for footy.
But one swallow does not a winter make. And after a summer of anticipation, this is what Richmond fans will be left with. Another season of discontent, and what might have been.

How Richmond can still make the finals
Daniel Cherny
The Age
August 4, 2014 - 5:47PM
(http://images.theage.com.au/2014/08/04/5651058/1407139290489.jpg-300x0.jpg)
Can the Tigers replicate the efforts of Steven Bradbury?
The equation was relatively straightforward for Richmond heading into its round-15 game against St Kilda. All the Tigers needed to do was win their next 13 games and hope a couple of other results were accommodating, and a long-awaited premiership would be theirs.
Richmond had entered that clash sitting at 3-10, possessing the same record as the Saints. It meant the Tigers (16th on the ladder) were only percentage (admittedly a hefty 33 per cent) clear of bottom spot.
Captain Trent Cotchin starred that afternoon at Etihad Stadium, with five goals and 31 disposals, catapulting the Tigers to a 44-point win. Three days later, a new financial year began, and since then it's been all boom (at least in the win-loss assessment) for the mob from Punt Road.
Even if the victories over the Saints, the Brisbane Lions, and last Saturday's painstaking struggle against Greater Western Sydney were not cause for jubilation, when combined with gutsy wins against Port Adelaide and West Coast, Richmond has kept that exceptionally remote finals push alive heading into the final month of the regular season.
Here is the situation, inclusive of all teams Richmond could mathematically displace, and their respective runs home:
5th Port Adelaide, 48 pts, 130.2 per cent
Sydney (AO), Gold Coast (MS), Carlton, (AO), Fremantle (PS)

So, just how can the Tigers shuffle their way through the traffic? Well, it will be next to impossible if they don't win all of their remaining matches. That will be a major stretch, but there is always hope that Sydney has locked in a home final in week one by the time the Tigers travel north in round 23.
Four wins would leave Richmond with 48 points, and potentially an improved percentage. It would need to overtake at least one of the four sides in the eight, and also hope that none of the teams placed 9th to 11th overhaul it.
Even considering Port Adelaide's drop in form, it is still hard to envisage the Power not winning at least one game in the run home, or losing enough percentage that the Tigers could usurp the early pacesetter.
Likewise, if North Melbourne can even slightly overcome its personality disorder and account for a couple of the competition's weaklings, it too should be safe.
The most vulnerable sides in the eight would seem to be Collingwood and Essendon (and how sweet it would be for the Tiger faithful should their team knock one of those two out at the 11th hour).
Working in Richmond's favour is that two of its remaining matches are against opponents in the hunt for the eight - Essendon and Adelaide. Likewise, there is a fair collection of games played between the other finals aspirants. Of course, it works both ways, though, because when West Coast and Collingwood (as an example) meet on Sunday at Patersons Stadium, the four points have to go somewhere.
Essendon's fixture is fascinating in the sense that none of its four games would appear to be absolute gimmes given Carlton and West Coast's solid form, although conversely Essendon could conceivably win all four games without a major upset. But its recent football has been strong enough to lead it to favouritism against the final three sides.
The best bet is probably Collingwood. Not withstanding two likely triumphs against the Giants and Lions, the Tigers can rest their hopes on the prospect of a thrashing at the hands of Hawthorn (hopefully still with something to play for), and defeat this week in Perth against West Coast.
So, the easiest (and it's not easy) way for Richmond to make the finals is:
* Richmond wins all four of its games and ends on 48 points, but gains a major percentage boost by thumping St Kilda
* Collingwood wins two of its final four, finishes on 48 points, but cops a last-round shellacking against Hawthorn, and only narrowly beats the Lions and Giants, meaning the Magpies fall below Richmond on percentage.
* Gold Coast loses a couple of its games, and regardless of whether it finishes on 48 points, is shaded by the Tigers on percentage.
* Adelaide loses to Richmond and probably North, so it cannot match the yellow and black surge.
* West Coast downs Collingwood, Gold Coast and Melbourne, but loses to Essendon (a defeat the Eagles rue after Richmond barnstorms its way through August
From there Richmond, on the back of an irrepressible bolt of momentum, careers its way through September, defeating Port Adelaide, Geelong, Sydney (again) and Hawthorn. There's your 13 in a row.
Forget Kiwi and Steven Bradbury, this will be the greatest from the clouds job of all time.
Oh, we're from...
Odds to make the top eight (Sportsbet):
North Melbourne $1.14
Essendon $1.33
Collingwood $1.55
Adelaide $2
Gold Coast $5
West Coast $9
Richmond $16 (and $501 for the flag if you are now getting excited).

Pros and Cons from the weekend. We made up a game on 8th spot and all but one of the results of the other games went our way. On the other hand, the Crows and Eagles gaining major percentage boosters means we'll need them both to drop another game to be able to jump ahead of both of them (on top of us needing to beat Adelaide as well).
The key non-RFC games we need to go our way are:
R22 - North def. Adel down in Hobart.
R23 - Haw def. Coll
Any of these doesn't happen and we've got zero chance of making it.
This week's Ess vs WCE at Etihad can help us either way but Essendon winning would make it easier as we wouldn't have to rely on % (ours is much higher now than the Pies).
Rich: Adel, St K, Syd
Coll: Bris, GWS, Haw
Ess: WCE, GC, Carl
GC: Port, Ess, WCE
Adel: Rich, North, St K
WCE: Ess, Melb, GC
This would give:
7. Ess 13 wins
8. Rich 12 wins
-----------------------
9. Coll 12 wins (lower %)
10. WCE 11 wins
11. Adel 11 wins
12. GC 10 wins
If the Eagles were to win then we want them to win big to lower Essendon's percentage below ours.
Rich: Adel, St K, Syd
Coll: Bris, GWS, Haw
Ess: WCE, GC, Carl
GC: Port, Ess, WCE
Adel: Rich, North, St K
WCE: Ess, Melb, GC
That alternatively would give:
7. WCE 12 wins
8. Rich 12 wins
-----------------------
9. Ess 12 wins (lower %)
10. Coll 12 wins (lower %)
11. Adel 11 wins
12. GC 10 wins
So the odds are still against us even if we were to win all of our games. We still rely on too many other results going our way.

Is it 'Mission Impossible' for the Tigers?
Matt Murname
The Age
August 13, 2014 - 7:36PM
Richmond captain Trent Cotchin might not believe in finals fairytales, but the ‘‘Mission Impossible’’ his team embarked on two months ago has been achieved once before, and with the type of confidence and belief currently fuelling the Tigers’ drive.
Only one team has ever completed the challenge facing Richmond – it jumped from third last late in the season to make the finals – and a member of that team says the momentum behind the Tigers’ surge could be dangerous in the run home.
Brisbane in 1995 is the only team since the top eight system was introduced to match the kind of back-from-the-dead comeback Richmond is attempting. Under coach Robert Walls, it went from third last after round 14 to tear into the finals just eight weeks later.
The Tigers were in almost the same position at the end of round 14 this year, sitting third last and five games behind eighth-placed Gold Coast before winning six straight.

St Kilda in 2011 is the only other team to come close to the feat recently, going from fourth last after round 14 to make the finals.
Star midfielder Cotchin stressed on Wednesday that Richmond was not looking at the massive task ahead of it – needing to defeat Adelaide (away), St Kilda (MCG) and Sydney (away), realising that the latter two matches will become irrelevant if the Tigers cannot upstage the Crows at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.
“There is a lot of hype around in the papers and the supporters obviously get excited by it,’’ he said.
“Talk about fairytales and so forth, we’re not really interested in that, we just want to perform for four quarters against a quality opposition on Saturday night and then who knows where [we go] from there.’’
Former Richmond player Craig Lambert, also a member of the Brisbane team in 1995, recalled on Wednesday how there was a point two-thirds through the season where the players had given up on finals.
But a turning point in round 16 when the club staged one of the biggest last-quarter comebacks in its history to beat Hawthorn. It ignited the team’s belief and led to wins against top four teams Essendon and Richmond in the last three rounds.
The Tigers are aiming for a similar surge in belief, in particular to perform well in the round 23 match against second-placed Sydney, a team the Tigers have performed well against in the past six games – squaring the ledger at 3-3.
‘‘We started to win a couple of games against opposition that were more highly ranked than us, and then it was incredible how much belief came with us,’’ Lambert recalled.
‘‘Momentum and confidence in football ... it is a very powerful thing and it doesn’t matter who you are.
‘‘And especially now with the competition being so even.’’
Cotchin said the Tigers’ season also hit a turning point not long ago when the club challenged its own internal standards.
‘‘Then a number of our senior players came back into the side and started to get some continuity into their game and we just started to play with that desire and belief that we know that we can,’’ he said.
Lambert, now the player welfare manager at GWS, was a senior figure in the Brisbane 1995 team that included such young talent as Michael Voss, Chris Scott, Justin Leppitsch, Nigel Lappin and Jason Akermanis.
He recalled how Brisbane snuck into eighth position but was one of the form teams. In the first week of the finals the Bears went close to upsetting eventual premier Carlton, a team that lost only two games that season.
‘‘Up until early in the last quarter, we nearly had Carlton on the ropes that year, and that was against a side who that year were like the invincibles,’’ Lambert said.
‘‘It just seems at the moment Richmond have really good belief, and they’ve got players who are really starting to find some good form, they will be dangerous for any side.’’
Lambert said even if the Tigers missed the finals, the strong end to the season would be of benefit, just as it was to the 1995 Brisbane team that went on to play a preliminary final the following season.
‘‘Middle of the year there were a lot of people getting into Richmond, so any time you can change that momentum, and actually build like they have, it can only help you going into the following year,’’ he said.

for one week only....GET YOUR SHINBONER ON
-
Even if Adelaide lose to NORF, (likely) they will still replace us in the 8 if we don't beat Sydney in the final round, they have saints in the final round and a much better percentage. 9th on percentage
-
Its all about Adelaide and Richmonds last 2 games.
We need to smash St.Kilda by a margin in the order of 115pts to catch Adelaides current percentage. And then either win or have a very close loss to Sydney.
We need Adelaide to get pummeled by a decent margin by North, and then not make up that margin when they defeat the saints.
-
for one week only....GET YOUR SHINBONER ON
And also barrack like hell for the Suns. A loss next week for Essendon and again in their last game against Carlton could still see them tumble out.
-

Well yeah. We need to win everything and rightfully so. But of Norfies win at least it's all in out own hands.
-
I know we need to beat the Aint's first but I'll be at ANZ for sure to cheer on the Lads. Will be interesting to see if the Swans rest any of their stars who may have niggles since they are locked and loaded. Kennedy went off yesterday with a Hamstring strain and the last thing they want is injuries going into finals.
Once again we will have nothing to lose and we have shown we are dangerous when our backs are to the wall. Also the dodgy turf at ANZ may also give them cause for concern.
Just to be sure, I'll also be at Spotless cheering on the Orange Goblins next weekend. I reckon the Pies are gone without Reid, Pendlebury, Cloke and Beams so the goblins may steal an unexpected home win to take the Pies completely out of calculations.
Oh and next week, go the Roos!!
-
total emphasis has to be on beating St Kilda by about 20 goals. cant give up any scores and just need to nail as bigger win as possible.
-
How good would it be for North to give Adelaide a decent touch up on the weekend.
-
We have to win the last 2 games. Adelaide, Essendon, West Coast Eagles, hold our fate
-
this goes in the finals thread

Can't the aints1966 call in sick ?

Yesss, yessss, yessssssss :gotigers
-
they wont rest that many Tiga
They would want a first final which will give them the extra weeks rest.
no point resting players in the last round which they may lose resulting in an away final.
-
If Geelong beat Hawthorn next week, assuming they beat the Dogs next week Sydney will sure up a top 2 finish and a home final.
-
Hawks are poo
-
Sydney seemingly unstoppable
-
Pretty much all the other results this weekend went in our favour. Even Hawthorn losing tonight has enabled Sydney to sow up a top 2 spot so the Swans won't have much to play for against us. Mind you Ted Richards today on the Sunday footy show said Longmire is thinking that way.
The problem still is we need one more other result in the next two weeks to go our way. Either:
R22 - North def. Adel down in Hobart.
OR
R23 - Carl def. Ess at the 'G and our % jumps ahead of the Bombers (we're 1.3% behind them currently = roughly 30 pts)
If both of these don't go our way then we've got zero chance of making it.
So I still have (assuming we win both our games):
Rich: St K, Syd
Ess: GC, Carl
Adel: North, St K
WCE: Melb, GC
Coll: GWS, Haw
GC: Ess, WCE
which gives:
7. Ess 13 wins
8. Rich 12 wins
-----------------------
9. WCE 11 wins
10. Adel 11 wins
11. Coll 11 wins
12. GC 10 wins
So all up, the odds are still against us even if we were to win all of our games. No guarantee North will beat Adelaide. Both sides are inconsistent and it'll depend on which version of each side turns up.
We won't get in with 11 wins so we'll need to be the Swans. Our % is too far behind the Crows (who also play St Kilda) and Eagles (who have Melbourne and the Ablett-less Suns) to rely on them dropping games they are heavily favoured to win.
-
Dream scenario for me.
Obviously win our last two with Nought beating Adelaide next week andEssendon dropping Round 23 against Carlton.
Would leave us in 7th place and an MCG final against Nought. FFS we have made finals once in 12 years going into this season whilst making it would be an achievement given where we were potentially we have interstate matches against Port and the loser of Sydney or Freo in Week 1 and 2.
Bonanza for the AFL given the season they have had and the other Elimination final being a Showdown at Adelaide Oval with Essendon finishing 9th or lower depending on West Coasts results against Melbourne and Gold Coast with ASADA waiting in the wings. :lol :rollin :lol
-
The media 'experts' have us finishing 10th.
-------------------------------
RICHMOND
40pts 104.5%
R22: St Kilda (MCG) W
R23: Sydney (ANZ) L
It. Is. ALIVE! Saturday night’s gutsy win means that Richmond could be playing for a finals spot in Round 23 against Sydney at ANZ Stadium. But firstly the Tigers will be chasing vital percentage against a banged-up St Kilda side on Sunday evening.

AFL website's Crystal Ball after round 21
9. RICHMOND
40 points (10 wins, 10 losses) 104.5 per cent
The run home:
Rd 22: St Kilda at the MCG
Rd 23: Sydney Swans at ANZ Stadium
If the Tigers win next week:
- And then beat the Swans in round 23, they can only be denied a finals berth if Adelaide wins its remaining two matches and Essendon wins one more game
- They can lose to the Swans in round 23 and still play finals if the Crows lose their last two games and Collingwood, Gold Coast and West Coast all lose one of their remaining two
If they lose next week:
- They will need to beat the Swans in round 23 and hope Adelaide loses its last two games and West Coast loses one to play finals
- They can finish as low as 12th if Collingwood, Gold Coast and the Eagles win
Predicted finish: 10th

On the other hand, if we somehow sneak in the Eight, the AFL website is saying:
9. Seven other teams won't want to play Richmond in September
It might have left its run too late, but if Richmond could sneak into the top eight and qualify for this season's finals campaign, it's capable of causing some serious damage. The Tigers' seventh-straight win showcased the immense belief in the playing group that now exists, as it somehow wrestled back control of the game in the last quarter, in front of a hostile Crows' crowd. It was an effort of significant character from the Tigers and one that could be replicated in September – if they're still alive. – Harry Thring

Can Richmond make the AFL finals? It’s a claw thing
Herald-Sun
August 18, 2014 9:29PM
EAGER Richmond supporters are daring to dream of September glory and preparing for finals football despite not yet earning a spot in the top eight.
Buoyed by a late-season winning streak, Richmond’s cheer squad has notified members of a ticket ballot to guarantee seats behind the goals should they make it.
The Tigers are ninth on the ladder and may not know their destiny until after the final home-and-away match, with percentage points and other teams’ results likely to dictate their fate.
But after seeing their team win seven straight matches for the first time since 1995 and gunning for an eighth straight win for the first time since 1980, the faithful are plotting a post-season party seemingly impossible just weeks ago.
A letter sent to official Tigers cheer squad members urged them to brace for a shot at the title: “We need to prepare ourselves for the possibility of another finals appearance ... get things ready for another ballot.”
Cheer squad member Brett Beattie said: “We’re pretty confident, we’ve had a belief for four or five weeks.”
Our three young Tigers fans were not born last time the Tigers won a final, in 2001. Hugo, 12, said: “ I’ve been hoping for finals footy for so long ... now I believe we can do it.’’

We have put ourselves into this position so as good as our recent run of wins has been our poor start to the season has us depending upon other results to go our way, unfortunately luck has a funny way of catching up with you. Personally I think the Swans will give us a football lesson anyway so either way no finals football this year, but the last seven weeks have still been an enjoyable ride.
-
HOW RICHMOND CAN MAKE THE EIGHT
* If they defeat St Kilda and Sydney:
- Will need Adelaide to lose once in the next fortnight
- Or Essendon to lose twice
- Or Essendon to lose once, but by such a margin that the percentage gap is closed
* If they defeat only St Kilda:
- Will need Adelaide to lose twice in the next fortnight
- Or Essendon to lose twice, but by such margins that the percentage gap is closed.

After we beat Padelaide it is gonna be stuffing rough, Geebung or Sydnos again according to the stupid thing I stuffed about with on the AFL site but I don't think it is right because if Geebung beat Brisbane, they play someone I think the Hawks in Melbourne they were saying on TV so I am confused, that would mean, it could be Freo or Sydney?

We can play finals this year
Either we win every game. ?
Or win next 4 games with a 10 goal win against Saints or GWS
Lose last game by small margin and we can still make it
Need one or 2 teams under us to have another upset .eg Brisbane and Carlton
Watch this space
Lol .got this right #gotiges
It was great to see Caddy get Norf over the line tonight to, you need to give up your day job and get into clairvoyantcy :whistle

Give me credit
Norf and Geelong same colors
Both coached by Scott's
I get a bit confused at times
