Looking at the draw, probably the order of the 8 is settled now too. Would mean a home final vs Adelaide

Unless we can get some results go our way and can sneak into the top 4 the best result would be a home final against the crows. Looking at it there will be no easy first final.

I wouldn't call it just yet - 2 big games this afternoon.
Have a feeling they may both go against us but still....

We've been a lock for finals for a while now. Unfortunately won't get top 4 but  5th looking likely either Adelaide or norf bring it on

Hate to say it but with nth winning today against freo, adelaide wins rnd 22, geelong wins next 2 games and we lose to ess and nth we will finish....9th, please tell me that is not possible?

Not unless Dogs beat Nought next week.our percentage is superior.
We have 10% on Nought 20% on Geelomg.
Given the last two weeks we have won by 83 & 91 and we went from 108.9 to 120.2 it would equate to a combined 60 goal turnaround against us and in favour of Geelong to see us slip out.

A year late but the 3 in the 3-0-75 plan can be finally ticked off by the RFC  :clapping.

Need the Swannies to pick a loss out of the hat to meet the, "at least one top four finish" part of it, though.

When that vision statement was released i found it difficult to believe. But well done tigers, you proved me wrong.
Now just win a final.

Well, if there's ever been ever doubt that some Richmond supporters will encourage, welcome, embrace any effort and any loss, as opposed to wanting to win, here is 'exhibit A'.  :nope

For sure, I'm just happy for the boys to go out and get a kick each week. Winning is irrelevant

Adelaide would be a very scary proposition in the first week of the finals.

Just going by whats been said on MMM and SEN this arvo.
If we lose to n0rf and crows win against cats next week.
Crows could get a home final against us.
Our destiny is in our own hands, next week is a must win to give us a best chance to succeed in finals

For the first time since Richmond entered the league football competition (the then VFL) back in 1908, the Club will compete in a finals series without any of its three traditional Victorian rivals – Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon – appearing at the same time.

Furthermore, Richmond’s victory over Essendon at the MCG last Saturday night meant it was the first time since 1931 that the Tigers had beaten their three traditional rivals twice in a home-and-away season.

The Tigers also went through the 2006 season unbeaten against Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon, but played the Magpies only once that year.

Traditional rivals. Something the minnow tin rattlers will never have. Norf can go play their traditional rivals when they drop a couple divisions and play off against Keilor and Airport West.
