If only we can work out how to be more effective when inside 50.
We are certainly getting in there enough compared to the opposition especially the last two weeks, the Collingwood game being the exception where we got pants in that stat.

I was listening to Sen this morning and we are not in Whateley or Kings top 4 seeds at the moment.
Apparently Essendon has gone past us . ( King)

thats your first problem mate

Agree, SEN is trash and Whateley is a disgrace.
In fairness though, we have beaten absolutely no one. Swans, Blues, Dees are all trash. Can't even remember the other side we beat but I doubt they were much either :lol
Still got plenty to fix up before we march to top 4
-
Power over there.
I also think they are poop.
But only can beat who is put in front of you.
Bulldogs this week.
-
Beside pies I'm not buying we haven't beat anyone competition is so even this year look at Freo.
-
The 3AW flogs are right now talking about how good Essendon are and how good they were against Collingwood.
Not sure why they get so much love??
Their no good!!

It must be the first time the media haven't gone with "ninth" jokes.
9. RICHMOND 16 94.2%
You can only cover three club champions for so long. Plus one in Martin who right now is a good player rather than the great 2017 model, and the all-important Astbury. They are now back on the edge, but that’s testament to the evenness of 2019.

15 games left need to at least win 10 and lose 5 with our low % from here on.
-
Given we’ve only played their twice so far we must have something like 10-12/15 games at the G for the remainder of the season. Collingwood still the only team to beat us there in close to 2 years now.

The three men shaping the eight
Sid Maher
The Australian
13 May 2019
On either side of the Nullarbor yesterday, three champions of Australian football proved the difference in intriguing matches that could shape the final eight.
Their names are absent on the statistical breakdown of the triumphs posted by Geelong and Hawthorn in Melbourne and Richmond in Perth, but they once again proved standout performers. And they will be feared by any rival they meet in September. The three — premiership coaches Alastair Clarkson, Damien Hardwick and Chris Scott — again demonstrated their brilliance in the hottest seat in football.
For the second time this season, Hardwick coached his injury-stricken side to a stunning victory interstate, with the Tigers posting a 25-point win over the Dockers in Perth.
The triumph propelled the 2017 premiers back into the eight and ensured they remain in touch with early season standouts Geelong and Collingwood, and also the top four.
Hardwick has twice orchestrated outstanding wins on the road and also on the rebound this season. Missing the fabulous four of Alex Rance, Jack Riewoldt, Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin and coming off two whippings, Richmond edged the Power in Port Adelaide in round four.
Only Martin has returned, but yesterday the Tigers were again too tough on the road following a shocker against the Bulldogs.
Hardwick has managed to keep Richmond within touch knowing Riewoldt and Cotchin will return in coming weeks.
Recent history suggests teams inside the eight at this stage of the season tend to hold their spot, with only a couple of changes.
Last year the Crows and Port Adelaide, both with five wins from eight matches, slipped out and were replaced by eventual grand finalists Collingwood (4-4) and the Giants (4-1-3).
In 2017, the Swans surged from what appeared an impossible position when starting 0-6 to make the eight, while Essendon also did enough to displace the Western Bulldogs (5-3) and St Kilda (5-3).
Not one side was dislodged from the top eight after round eight in 2016, though the Kangaroos only narrowly qualified after starting 8-0 and the Bulldogs surged from seventh to win the flag.
The biggest change in recent seasons occurred in 2014, when Collingwood, Gold Coast and the Eagles squandered promising starts to slip out of the eight.
However the evenness of this year ensures that the incumbents from Adelaide down will not sit too comfortably, for only two wins separates the third-placed Crows from the Melbourne Demons sitting in 15th.
Those sides on three wins now find themselves in a position where the margin for error for the remainder of the season is diminished.

Just 0.2% off the top 4. One more goal would've had us 4th.

Some poor forward 50 entries didn’t help us.
We still have plenty of improvement left in us. :rollin
-
Amazed we are forth/fifth to be honest
We are going real nice without bursting out
Perfect in my book
Don’t want to be setting the world on fire right now
These injuries are helping this side a lot more than we think
-
The young blokes getting games is unbelievably valuable for the future of the club. Going beautifully diwn at Punt Road.

GEELONG. Collingwood. West Coast. GWS. Richmond.
After nine rounds, the ladder has taken its rightful shape and the 2019 premiership is shaping as a race in five.
That quintet had impressive wins on the weekend, all for differing reasons.

6. RICHMOND 28pts 101.3%
The Tigers at Marvel Stadium resemble Superman and Kryptonite. Tom Lynch should emulate the running capacity of his opposite number in Ben Brown, because right now Lynch limits his scoring opportunities by not running enough. The absence of Toby Nankervis is akin to GWS losing Shane Mumford.

7. RICHMOND — 28pts, 94.5%
Prefer the Tigers when they play that manic charging out of defence style, but the lack of key personnel can alter game plans. And their tail was long on Friday night. Percentage as much as win/loss is an issue towards September, and right now they have similarities to the Essendon model of 1999-2001, which won just one flag instead of two.

Essendon were unbackable flag favourites all three of those years, had stuff all injuries and the AFL didn't change the rules on them- we won one flag as massive outsiders then didn't win one as massive favourites, now were fielding half a VFL side with nearly our entire spine missing and under new rules...I'd say we're breaking even so far... :shh
-
Freo playing Port this week will keep us in the Top 8 even if we lose against the Crows.
-
9. RICHMOND — 28pts, 92%
The guns are dusting of their boots so beating St Kilda and Gold Coast are non-negotiables before a challenging three weeks (GWS, Port Adelaide, Collingwood) for the Tigers. Their percentage means a top four slot is unlikely, but the Tigers appeal as a side that could achieve the unlikely.
