AFL 2020 predictions: Every club's pass mark for this season
Tom Naghten

13 Feb 2020
So what will be considered a success for your club in 2020?
We've given each club a pass mark for the upcoming season, now bear in mind, just like at school, not everyone will make the grade.
Richmond - Qualify for the grand final
We were going to have a top two finish as the pass mark for the Tigers but as they've shown in 2017 and last season, third is more than enough for them to win the flag.
In fact, in 2018 when they won the minor premiership, they were dumped out in the prelim.
Alex Rance has retired but Dylan Grimes proved last year that he's more than capable of leading the back six, while the likes of Marlion Pickett and Sydney Stack will only get better.
It's a lofty goal but when you've been the benchmark at the business end of the year for the past three seasons.

It’s pretty easy to outline the pass mark for the 2019 premiers, with another Grand Final appearance beckoning as Damien Hardwick’s men continue to impress. There will be a number of selection headaches at the club, as youngsters Sydney Stack and Jack Ross bang the door down after missing out on the Grand Final. Jack Riewoldt only played 13 games last season – so expect his craft alongside key forward Tom Lynch to cause damage to opposition teams down back. The Tigers are hungry to create a dynasty and if they can claim their third premiership in four years, Swan Street will certainly be humming come that last Saturday in September.

Sorry, I dont agree with you
Baker has just turned 22 & was probably our best
Dow went ok according to Dimma & is clearly a kid @ 18
Syd was impressive in 2nd half & at 19 is still a kid
21 year old Garthwaite also impressed Dimma as did 20 year old CJ

Thought Ross was solid apart from his forward entries and he was hardly alone on that score....hell Grigg used to serve that crap up every week playing outside under minimal pressure and was praised to the skies by some.... :shh
-
Top 4 is a pass any year. Finals can be a total crap shoot with injuries home away grounds, etc.

Hopefully this ...

2020 pass mark: A Grand Final berth
It's almost tempting to say a premiership is a pass mark for the Tigers, such has been their recent dominance and the fact they're possibly looking even stronger than last year: Grand Final star Marlion Pickett will benefit from a first proper AFL preseason, while Tom Lynch may become even scarier after entering 2019 on the back of significant knee surgery.
But as impressive as Richmond's personnel is, it's their gameplan that's so imposing. Few teams are able to quell the 'Tiger Tidal Wave' that so often overwhelms all before it, especially on the wide expanses of the MCG.
Everyone knows a week is a long time in footy, let alone looking ahead to September, but it's difficult to not to see Richmond at least featuring on Grand Final Day.

What all 18 clubs need to do to get a pass mark in 2020

If two out of three ain’t bad then three out of four is pretty darn good. But only great teams achieve things like that and the Tigers will need to be just that in what promises to be a strange old season.
Not winning the flag would not be seen as an enormous failure given there are two new ones at Punt Road but the ultimate success is quickly becoming the new expectation. As much as the Tiger faithful would be yearning for a third premiership in quick succession, they must be appreciative that they are very hard to win and just to again be at the pointy end will be a challenge in itself.
The hunter is certainly now the hunted and just maintaining the side’s overall quality be the focus. The rest, as Damien Hardwick says, will take care of itself.
Pass mark: Maintain excellence. Make another Grand final.

It’s easy to outline the mark of success for the Tigers this year, with the club looking to create a dynasty. With two flags in three years, Damien Hardwick’s side has no excuse for not having a strong year. They’ve avoided playing potentially their biggest threat – West Coast – away, with Metricon Stadium to host the two teams. Only Bachar Houli (calf) and Brandon Ellis (traded) appear to be missing from the club’s Grand Final team, meaning Swan Street could well have plenty to celebrate come the end of the year.

David King's expectations for 2020
SEN
9 June 2020
RICHMOND
“They’ve just got talent to burn at the moment. You’re going to see the next wave of Tigers come through I think early in the season.”
“Shai Bolton has been a solid player over the last couple of years, but he’s going to become a top-line half-forward flanker in the competition.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing what they do in the ruck. There’s murmurings that Marlion Pickett might play that Shaun Grigg style role as a second ruckman, enabling them to pick the one ruckman and keep the speed up.
“They’re going nowhere. They’re the clear clubhouse leader. They’re just so professional and the pressure for spots is hot given that next wave coming through.”
