If you backed a horse who ran 8th three races in a row, would you think they were any good?
-
What if you finished the race 5th .....then are challenged to a race by the horse that finished ninth....and then lose that ( despite being a mile in front at the halfway)

Sounds legit
-
It's an improvement on the previous decade where we finished 15th in a 16 horse race.

Some on here would argue it's better to finish 15th or 16th than 8th.
The Melbourne way.

This year will be very telling.

who is the trainer and who rode the horse in the races?
what distance and what class races?
how old is the horse and what weight was it carrying?

Yes, let's only judge the club against the standards of past Richmond sides and Melbourne to get an easy pass mark every time! :gotigers

Flip flop

Melbourne is an unfair benchmark as they went past us ages ago
-
yes, very true

How could you not love Melbourne - they are our Paul Pfeiffer.

HMM logic says that is somewhere in the middle. Does that mean his finishes are middling? lol.

What if it wasnt the end of the race but nothing more than the home turn and your sitting 5th coming to the business end of the race where the champion horses always find something extra.

Sack the trainer

Leave a horses' head in the right bed .... :o
Sorry ... wrong movie!
You were doing My Friend Flicka, right?
How about a little Ben Hur action to get the crowd at the coliseum going? ;D

Should have finished 2 points from top spot last year by beating Freo at the G. We're top 4 quality. Unlucky to get our bogey side in the first final
-
Yeah dumb selections, pathetic coaching and being thoroughly outplayed in every aspect all combining for the same match was pretty unlucky....

Kicking against the wind vs Port was pretty unlucky.
So was Cotchins 9 possessions.
So was the lay down against Carlton.
So unlucky.

Such a poor analogy..,,

You probably think we should have won because in real life a tiger would beat a kangaroo.

Richmond 2015
1). Best percentage since 1982 ( FACT)
2) Better percentage than the minor premiers ( FACT )
3) Third best defence in the comp ( FACT)
4) Conceeded the least amount of goals last season ( FACT )
5) Was a brain fart away from defeating the minor premiers twice ( FACT )
6) Defeated a full strength Hawthorn ( FACT )
7) Won 15 games . 15 games was enough to secure a top 4 birth in years 2000 till 2011 ( FACT)
8 ) beat Sydney at the SCG ( FACT)
9) Beat Port at the Adelaide Oval ( FACT)
10) Won 42 games in the past 3 seasons - 5th best in the competition ( FACT)
11) Despite playing abysmally we have been in front during the final quarter in two of our recent 3 EFs
12) Is there a precedent of a team losing 3 EFs in a row before moving on to bigger and better things . Yes there is - WCE 02 till 04 . ( FACT)
I simply don't agree that is all doom and gloom.
But what would I know . I am a nuffer who keeps drinking the Kool aid and believes in unicorns.

Richmond 2015

But what would I know . I am a nuffer who keeps drinking the Kool aid and believes in unicorns. CORRECT.

Good post Mat!
I like reality & facts, they are two of my favorite things!
Those who look up are aiming to get there, those who look down surely won't. ;)
-
I wouldn't bother biting Matt
-
A completely irrelevant analogy as it neglects the qualifying period that establishes the ladder heirachy. Would be like arguing a horse that comes 6th in the cox plate is little better than the stony ck maiden winner that failed to qualify.
