Every team not playing the other teams in the same league, an equal number of times. Means its all a bit of a laugh no doubt, somewhere some powerful people in the epl and nba a having a quite chuckle at the backwater of the afl

That's before you start worrying about finals, and the number of teams participating

How is it rewarding mediocrity when the best performed team for 1/3 of the season is fighting for 8th?

We are living proof that winning a flag from 8th is plausible.

The streak has made many people go mad.

Not at all, we are not talking about a small sample here, 8 games is 1/3 of the season.

If we beat Sydney and go into the eight this week, and it's a big if, then anything could happen.

We are strong on the road and could even plausibly face North in the first final who are schizophrenic.

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

I'm as happy as the next Richmond tragic that our season is still alive because there were times during this season I was disillusioned with the whole club.

I hope we can go to another level....we still have been pretty ordinary during a lot of games throughout the "streak"...some of the games - Brisbane /GWS made my eyes bleed .

Wins against Essendon and Adelaide have made me believe again.

If we beat Sydney on Saturday I will go friggen mental.....reckon the footy gods owe us one.

The Sydney game will give a true indication of where our club stands presently.

Very true. If we were to beat the Swans, then I believe we have every right to be where we are.

It seems like if it is West Coast or Adelaide then they are just making up the numbers by sliding in. But if we beat the flag favorites as our 9th straight win then we deserve our position.

If they beat Sydney they'll win the flag

Sobering thought perhaps.

its not only rewarding mediocrity when you ignore 2/3 of the yr but head in the sand sort of stuff.

how many of the top top 4 have we beaten. or top 8 for that matter. the great run is just as much driven on the draw and who we have played.
 its incredible the lack of intelligence and failure to learn from our past really is.

Funny enough I think we have and for the last few years performed very comptetitively against the top sides, it the middle tier that frustrates me when we play against, norf, Bummers and Adelaide
