9 matches to go.
Fremantle, Brisbane, Port Adelaide we hope start dropping games.
Need to win our matches against teams below us and beat those around us.
Think 14 wins is certain to make the finals.
So 7/9!
Can we do it?

Think 12 will make it.

No but we'll win the flag next year*. :shh
*unless injuries stuff us over again
-
Think 12 will make it.
With our % 12 wins won't be enough
I think we will make it, but due to our woeful %, 14 needs to be our magic number
-
I think we could be 5-6 or so. I expect we will lose to most or all of Collingwood, Port, WCE and GWS. The rate we're going our % will stay sub-100 also...
-
Not sure it matters. I can't see us winning a final, let alone winning the flag this year, so its more about building for next year and getting more games into younger guys who have a future. Let's face it, we've been consistently beaten by 7+ goals by the main contenders and also dropped games to ordinary sides in Norf & Dogs. Even if we get a few players back over the next few weeks, they aren't going to come in and dominate immediately (eg Cotchin). I could see us making a late run and pinching a spot in the bottom half of the 8 but, as I said, I doubt that we can go much further. Hope to be proven wrong.
-
Will make finals and a genuine chance of winning the flag
poo will get real now we start getting a bunch of players back
-
No.
-
pretty sure it doesn't matter. Better off with a half decent pick and the experience in the legs of the younger lot after all the injuries.
-
So far little has gone right for us.
To win the premiership from here that would need to flip and everything go right for us.
We also have to get the injured players back and back into form and to stay that way.
At 7 and 6, and poor %, we need at least 6 wins from remaining 9 games
The 3 thongs we have in our favour are 1) found some kids who can play 2) the second tier players like Edwards, Astbury, Grimes have had to step up and this should benefit us when the "stars get back and 3) We will be hungry and focused, will be the Hunters like 2017
-
Lose the next two and definitely NO. Win the next two and we get on a mini roll and almost definitely yes. Win only one of the next two and it is more unlikely than likely....... :rollin
-
We won 9 in a row back in 2014 so I will back the boys in.

Run home: Who will make the eight?
Glenn McFarlane and Al Paton

Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale says the Tigers’ injury-ravaged season has fast-tracked fresh faces and strengthened the team’s depth as it prepares to launch a second-half assault on the season.
Asked if the Tigers still felt they can be a major player in the finals, Gale told the Herald Sun: “That’s the way we are looking at it.”
Richmond’s bid to stay alive in the premiership race has received validation from Champion Data’s 2019 ladder predictions, as well as from finals regular Nick Dal Santo.
“They need credit for how they have performed so far. If they get players back they’re still in a pretty good position,” Dal Santo said.
“I think we all know their best is well and truly good enough … We’ve seen in recent seasons that all you need is a good month and anything can happen.”
Richmond has slipped to ninth on the ladder after consecutive losses to North Melbourne, Geelong and Adelaide. But the Tigers expect to regain up to six first-choice players — including captain Trent Cotchin — for Sunday’s clash against St Kilda and the stats gurus rate Richmond a 66 per cent chance to play in September.
Champion Data’s predicted ladder has Richmond seventh after the home-and-away rounds — which would set up an away elimination final against Brisbane at the Gabba, where the Tigers haven’t lost since 2004.
Gale said the club’s extended injury run had a silver lining.
“We have had a largely settled side over the last few years, and there hasn’t been that ability to play (young players),” Gale said. “We’ve now had a good look at them and we’ve seen some of the guys have a real strong impact.”
“We will continue to have a good look at them, and it is very, very exciting.
“It has been a great growth opportunity for the entire club. We have a deeper list, we have got a few players coming back and we have found a couple of exciting players (in their absence).”
Dal Santo said injured trio Toby Nankervis, Kane Lambert and Jayden Short were underrated pieces of the Tiger puzzle and could play key roles in the run home.
“I’d have trust they can click fairly quickly,” he said. “They should get a lot of those guys back in the next fortnight or so and that’s plenty of time to prepare for finals.”
RICHMOND
Round 15: St Kilda (Marvel Stadium)
Round 16: Gold Coast (Metricon)
Round 17: GWS Giants (MCG)
Round 18: Port Adelaide (MCG)
Round 19: Collingwood (MCG)
Round 20: Melbourne (MCG)
Round 21: Carlton (MCG)
Round 22: West Coast (MCG)
Round 23: Brisbane Lions (MCG)
Draw difficulty: 12th hardest
We say: Wags noted the Tigers are back in familiar territory after slipping to ninth following their bye last week, but Richmond fans shouldn’t panic. Champion Data has the Tigers finishing seventh, which would mean an away elimination final against Brisbane at the Gabba — where Richmond hasn’t lost since 2004. To get there they must win the next two and improve their woeful percentage in the process, starting with a match against another Marvel Stadium tenant — those games haven't gone so well this season (think North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs), so they will need to be switched on.
-------------------------------------------------
Champion Data gives Port Adelaide the eighth-best chance of playing finals (63 per cent), edging out Essendon (47 per cent).
Fremantle is currently eighth but will finish 10th if the projections play out over the next nine rounds.
There is some good news for Carlton fans in the probability numbers — the stats gurus expect the Blues to move above Gold Coast to avoid the wooden spoon, handing Adelaide pick 2 in the draft.

Are Richmond actually set to miss the finals?
The Roar
27 June 2019
Everyone has been made plainly aware this season of the injury crisis that’s gripped the Tigers. What isn’t grabbing as many headlines, however, is that – as of Round 14 – they’re ninth on the AFL ladder.
Last year’s minor premiers were viewed as a premiership contender coming into this season, and there’s no doubt they’re one of the best teams in the competition when they field their best 22.
But have they already fallen too far behind the finals pack?
With a whopping 16 percentage points between them and eighth place – and a tough run home – is there a chance the Tigers will sensationally miss the finals altogether?
We got Roar AFL expert Marnie Cohen to analyse Richmond’s run home and make a call on whether they’ll play September football.
Listen to the discussion: https://player.whooshkaa.com/episodes/388885/highlights/1359
Damien Hardwick’s charges have dealt with more than their fair share of injuries this season, losing a host of stars for extended periods including Alex Rance, Jack Riewoldt, Trent Cotchin, Shane Edwards, Toby Nankervis, Jayden Short, Kane Lambert and David Astbury.
After a promising start to 2019, the lack of star power has seen the Tigers fall badly out of form lately. Three straight losses in excess of five goals have them behind the eight-ball in a big way.

Mick’s crystal ball: Why Tigers are in trouble
Mick McGuane,
Herald Sun
27 June 2019, 6:00pm
Sorry Richmond fans, I can’t see it happening for you this year.
It was only a few weeks ago I felt as if the Tigers still had the potential to be a flag contender, despite their lengthy injury list.
But three consecutive losses — by a collective 137 points — have left me cold on their finals hopes.
Some of their key personnel is starting to come back, starting on Sunday against St Kilda, but they look vulnerable in terms of making the top eight.
I’m excited about them going forward, as Dimma’s Disciples will be better for the experience and surely 2020 has to give them a better run with injury, but I can’t find a spot for them in my predicted top eight.
Every game this round has a finals implication attached to it, starting with tonight’s Essendon-Greater Western Sydney game. So here’s my crack at a look into the future.
MICK’S END OF HOME AND AWAY LADDER PREDICTIONS
1. Geelong
2. Collingwood
3. West Coast
4. GWS
5. Adelaide
6. Brisbane
7. Port Adelaide
8. Fremantle

-
Back in the Eight with a percentage of 95%.
-
7. Richmond
32 points (eight wins, six losses), 95.3 per cent
Next week is the Tigers' final interstate trip of the home and away season, and is a game they will enter as raging favourites. Collect the win against the Suns and it leaves the Tigers in a strong position to set up a late charge to the top four. They have some challenging games late, including clashes with Collingwood, Greater Western Sydney and West Coast, while Brisbane and Port Adelaide could also be tough. But being Melbourne-based helps their cause. With the worst percentage in the top eight they need to claim some scalps. - Callum Twomey

If we are really a serious contender for the premiership then we should be able to beat all 5 teams that are above us on the ladder. Doesn't mean we will win all 5 but we should look like we can otherwise we are kidding ourselves

7. Richmond (8-6, 95.3%)
Remaining games: Gold Coast Suns at MS, GWS Giants at MCG, Port Adelaide at MCG, Collingwood at MCG, Melbourne at MCG, Carlton at MCG, West Coast Eagles at MCG, Brisbane Lions at MCG
Remaining fixture difficulty: 11th-hardest (opponents’ average percentage 99.42, four top eight opponents, one out of home state)
Percentage of teams making top 8 from current record (1994-2016): 62.5%
The Tigers were arguably the biggest beneficiaries of Fremantle and Port Adelaide’s losses this weekend. They’re likely going to finish below those teams in percentage no matter what, so they need to win more games than them to finish above them. And here they are with an extra win in the column over them both, as well as the 7-7 Bombers. With next Saturday’s road trip to the Gold Coast being Richmond’s final interstate game of the season (jeez that’s crazy), and after soaring past the Saints despite their returning stars not being quite up to par, we’re confident this team will be playing finals. The best realistic case for this team is probably getting to 12 wins after the Melbourne game; but if they’re only at 10 at that point, it’s going to be a squeaker of a finish.
Fox Footy’s projection: 12.75 wins, finishing seventh

Carey said he couldn't believe people were talking about Richmond missing the finals. They are the sleeping giant given they are starting to get their key players back. One thing being injured on the sidelines does is it makes you more hungry than ever when you get back on the park.

I think we might finish equal 4th but miss out because of percentage.
-
Its a funny one, especially as GWS looking likely to lose as I post this.
Top 4 teams seem to be stumbling. Teams clipping at our heels coming into form. Need to jag a few wins against Coll/GWS/West Coast and we should be right.

I think we will win 5 of the remaining 7 games .

Next week is huge:
Richmond vs giants

The run home: Are there shades of 2017 about these Tigers?
Michael Whiting
AFL.com.au
Jul 8, 2019
6. RICHMOND
36 points (nine wins, six losses), 103.0 per cent
The Tigers boosted their stocks by not only the four premiership points, but a healthy eight percentage points with the landslide win over Gold Coast on Saturday. Richmond will now remain in Victoria for the rest of the home-and-away season, playing its final seven matches at the MCG, starting with next Sunday's belter against GWS. The next three weeks could define exactly where their season is headed, with Port Adelaide and fellow premiership fancies Collingwood following the Giants clash. Ominously, they had a 9-6 record at the same point of the season in their premiership year of 2017.

Gws game is a 8 point game for me.
-
if we can get past gws the tiger momentum will be in full swing
then look out port
baggas
dees are certain wins
-
GWS is a real danger game but I believe we have the cattle to get the win. What’s required is total buy in and effort from the 22 which cross the line.
For the most part we seem to match up well against port in our outings. God I wish Robbie gray played for us but I think our structure will hold up against them

4 Points: Sleeping giants awake for the final run home
Michael Gleeson
The Age
8 July 2019
The top two teams lost. The reigning premiers jumped to second. The 2017 premiers beat up on the bottom team in the most destructive first term we have seen this year.
The tightest race will be for the final two places in the eight, with eight sides jostling for those spots.
But the more compelling race is at the top. Collingwood are sinking fast and Geelong have stumbled. Geelong's loss is not an undue concern, but Collingwood's is.
But the performances of West Coast and Richmond, the last two premiers, have greater significance for the shape of the top four.
... Then there are the premiers that preceded them. Smashing the Suns does nothing to change perceptions of Richmond's season and the forecast of what might come next except for this little moment of symmetry. After 16 rounds Richmond is sixth on the ladder with nine wins, which is precisely where they were in 2017, and their percentage is about the same as it was then.
That season they had barely an injury; this year they've barely had a player who has not had an injury.
Richmond oddly enough now look like a better team, because of the players they have uncovered and developed out of necessity. Some, like Sydney Stack, probably would have got chances without injuries, but the injuries opened up opportunities sooner. Injuries certainly expedited things for Mabior Chol. Toby Nankervis will be back within a fortnight. Jack Riewoldt will be back next week.
The measure of Richmond's season is that now they are worrying about not who is missing from their best 22 but who will be forced to miss out. The injury wheel has turned at Punt Road.
Chol does not deserve to miss out but with Riewoldt, Josh Caddy and Tom Lynch in the forward line, how many tall target players can they use? The Tigers' game that had been structured around one tall and five pressure smalls was always going to shift with Lynch's arrival but the emergence of Chol changes the dynamic again.
Lynch is third in line for the Coleman Medal presently. He has 17 more goals than the next best Richmond player, and has had a below-par season.
When he has a good season, after a full pre-season, Richmond will be formidable.
Lynch is getting better. Richmond is getting better. It's easy to be carried away smashing the bottom side but the Tigers have managed to hang on in the most meaningful way by winning sufficient games. Trent Cotchin is back and has seamlessly recovered his form. Dion Prestia might be leading the Jack Dyer medal at the moment. Jason Castagna is having more of an impact on games than ever before.

Lloyd on Footy Classified last night said he's still not convinced because all we've beaten in the past two weeks is St Kilda and the Gold Coast. He'll/we'll get a better idea of where Richmond are at over the next month after playing GWS, Port, Coll & Melb. He's still concerned about how much footy those coming back have missed and how much it will eventually toll on us. He did add that he liked seeing us getting back to having the wave/surge of runners we displayed against the Suns.

Lloyd wasn’t convinced a month after we won the flag.

Lloyds a flog of the highest order

But for once he makes a valid point

Malthouse: ‘Lethal’ Tigers’ ominous message
Mick Malthouse,
Sunday Herald Sun
14 July 2019
One big club to emerge from hibernation refreshed and hungry is Richmond.
They are one game inside the eight, but their recent form is ominous.
We do have to take into consideration its victims, Gold Coast and St Kilda, so today’s game against GWS is the test we are all waiting for.
Another big win and the Tigers will genuinely be back in premiership contention.
They have a tough draw including Port, Collingwood, West Coast and Brisbane, but victories in these games will tell us that up until now Richmond has only been sparring.
Alex Rance is still an outside chance to return, and Jack Riewoldt needs a couple more weeks to regain his touch, but the Tigers young additions – like Sydney Stack – have them looking exciting again. And lethal.

The Tigers are starting to hum. There were signs they were back to their best against Greater Western Sydney, and they should at least claim wins over Port, Melbourne and Carlton. Collingwood, West Coast and Brisbane will be harder tasks, but as they generate more form anything is possible. Right in the hunt for a top-four finish now. - Callum Twomey

"Ominous" Tigers looming large: Nick Riewoldt
By SEN
15 July 2019
Things are starting to come together for Richmond, with the club hitting their stride as key players return from injury.
The Tigers comfortably handled GWS at the MCG on Sunday afternoon and now won’t leave the home of football for the rest of the season.
Nick Riewoldt is bullish about Richmond finding form at the right time of the year.
“Yesterday was ominous, but this isn’t a knee jerk reaction either, this has been building since Round 4 really,” he told SEN Breakfast.
“We know they’ve faced a lot of challenges this year with all their big guns out.
“They’ve had issues all year and now they’re just finally coming together. They’ve got their squad fit and healthy.
“Their style is a really sustainable one and it stands up in big games. Their ability to create turnovers, to score from turnovers and to defend really strongly is just about the best in the competition.
“They dropped a few games during the middle part of the season, just because they didn’t have the cattle out there.
“Now they’ve got them back, Tom Lynch is playing himself into some really strong form, that’s about the best game he’s played for the club.
“They’ve up to fifth and of the teams behind them, GWS, Adelaide, Essendon and Port, I can’t see any of those teams mowing them down on the run to the finals. They’ve got their last six at the MCG.”

5. Richmond
44 points (11 wins, six losses), 107.5 per cent
The pieces are coming together for the Tigers and when coach Damien Hardwick starts nitpicking, you know they're going well. Tom Lynch and Jack Riewoldt combined for six goals in a comfortable win over Port Adelaide, with a mouth-watering Friday night clash against the Pies to come. Toby Nankervis, Josh Caddy and Kamdyn McIntosh are in contention to return for that contest. All five of Richmond's remaining games are at the 'G and a top-four finish seems likely.

Fox Footy is predicting us to finish 4th with 14 wins and play Geelong in a Qualifying Final.
5. Richmond (11-6, 107.5%)
Remaining games: Collingwood at MCG, Melbourne at MCG, Carlton at MCG, West Coast Eagles at MCG, Brisbane Lions at MCG
Remaining fixture difficulty: Fifth-hardest (opponents’ average percentage 101.3, three top eight opponents, no games out of home state)
Percentage of teams making top 8 from current record (1994-2016): 97%
The Tigers are so good they’re able to stop the power of Port Adelaide’s win-loss-win-loss streak, and hand them a second defeat in a row. Now that’s impressive. Seriously though, this team is roaring into form, and after Collingwood’s loss to GWS we now have Richmond making the top four. Their percentage is becoming less and less of an issue each week, and while the Tigers do still have to play three of the four teams above them on the ladder, they’ll almost certainly be favoured against all of them. We don’t know if you’ve heard but Richmond is playing quite a few games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground at the moment. And, as we’ve said for a couple of weeks now, they might not be playing elsewhere until 2020.

We've officially qualified for the finals for the sixth year out of the past seven :thumbsup.
You have to go back to the Hafey era and the 70s since we last achieved the same run of finals appearances.
The only period that betters both of them was between 1927-1944 when we made the finals 16 times in 18 years.
