Herald-Sun's barometer Round 24
RichmondON THE BLOCK: Hard to point the finger at anyone after three straight wins.
ON THE CUSP: Rookie midfielder Pat Contin has been putting his hand up in the VFL. Ben Nason was also named in the best at Coburg.
MICK WARNER'S FORECAST: Four in a row and a ninth-place finish will set the Tigers up for a breakthrough season in 2012. You heard it here first - the dark days are over. Finals next year and a decade of Moet-popping after that. The Tigers will push hard for an experienced ruckman during trade week but will persevere with Angus Graham and Andrew Browne.
