Title: Only the second time since the 1940s we've made finals in 4 out of 5 years.

The Tigers not only survived a danger game against Gold Coast given Riewoldt’s absence, they saw key rivals around them lose.

Richmond made finals in the five seasons of 1971-75 but the victory means it will be only the second time since the 1940s they have played finals in four out of five seasons.

I wonder what the record is for regular finals losses without a win?

I want top 4. With Port on a massive % we basically need to win 3 out of 4. So to kick things off I hope we crush Hawthorn's finals hopes

Just on your sig. it's interesting how often that's happened this year. To the Saints and the Pies in the last round.
To Essendon vs Lions a few weeks ago.

The media love to pound us, rightly or wrongly.
Funny how they leave everyone else alone.

We cop it more because of our prolonged history of coughing up matches and lack of success.

And also there are zero fs given about the Demons. They should have put tighter clamps on Gray but boy oh boy it was a thing of beauty seeing Gray rove a perfect tap and have the poise and class to slot that.
