Luffy from Champion Data was on SEN with host and Tiger supporter Tony Schibeci just before 2pm:
* Tigers could possibly finish top 4 with their run home.
* Thereabouts last year but didn't have the polish to finish off games (a bit like North this year).
* Essendon in 1998 is the closest to Richmond we (Champion Data) have seen and we know what happened with Essendon following 1998.
* Tigers have strong Champion Data stats:
- Points against is 74 (4th best in comp.). Best for a Richmond side in the 15-20 years Champion Data have been doing stats.
- 3rd lowest in tackles but that's improved in the last few weeks. Richmond defend a bit differently. They hold onto ball which helps their defence.
- 3rd hardest to goal/score against in last 6 weeks.
- 2nd best at scoring from stoppages.
- Best in clearances.
* It's coming together for Richmond. All those 1st round picks plus filling in the gaps with players they've brought in. They will make the Eight this year.
