Finalists plot to spoil Tigers' party

28 Aug 2018

AFL minor premiers Richmond are rightly favourites to bank back-to-back flags but fellow top-eight clubs believe they stand a puncher's chance, GWS coach Leon Cameron says.

Ahead of Saturday week's all-Sydney elimination final, the Giants mentor suggested his seventh-placed club was capable of a deep run this September.

But the feeling is mutual across all finals teams after premiership outsiders Western Bulldogs and Richmond caught fire in consecutive finals series to claim drought-breaking flags.

"Eight sides are probably sitting back plotting this week saying 'we do all have the teams to go all the way'," Cameron told Big Sports Breakfast on Tuesday.

"There's a story for everyone. Our story is, if we put it together, absolutely (we) can win finals.

"But I'm (thinking) about next week against the Swans and we've got to prove ourselves in a massive final at their home ground."

Yet there's no denying the Tigers are the benchmark and a force to be reckoned with, Cameron admits.

"Everyone would acknowledge in the AFL world that Richmond's sit out in front by a couple of goals," he said.

"You can't get away from that. They're just proven. They've gone 18 (wins) and four (losses) and they're two games clear of everyone else.

"They're the yardstick. But the (West Coast) Eagles have been fantastic."

Not sure why teams would radically change the way they have played and trained all year.

In any case it will come down to how we play. Need to see our top level football again and it will be very hard for teams to beat us.
