Possibly for the first time this season, to the losers go the spoils.
The chances of finals are gone, the release of the pressure valve which will undoubtedly bring about more attacking and fast flowing football.
Plenty of kids blooded and supporters begin to forget about the disappointment of a missed opportunity in 2016 and start to look ahead to high draft picks, free agency and new beginnings ie Bulldogs, Eagles etc
But what if Richmond lose?
