I'm hoping we steal a win over either Melbourne or Adelaide but that run home looks mightly bleak now...

Could win 4
Likely 0 or 1
I'll go with 2 because I have a feral pubic bush
Give me Adelaide and either Melbourne/Sydney as they're the three sides who the majority of my mates barrack for
A competitive effort in Perth as I'll be at that game would be appreciated
Cheers lads :cheers

We won't win another game, we actually don't deserve to win one either. We won't beat North, not now they have their tails up after beating the Dogs and they are playing much better than us.

Beyond caring anymore.

I have seen this show too many times...Richmond playing inspired footy in May only to be the worst team running around by rd 15.

2002   we were 4-4
2003   we were 6-2
2004   we were  4-4
2005   we were  7-2

Any win we have now is just wallpaper over the cracks

Let's not forget though, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.

Depends on this game against Geelong coming up, If we had a red hot go and actually compete then 2 or maybe 3.
If we give up at quarter time and display what we did against Gold Coast then 0. I would say we would beat Adelaide in Melbourne but it's at AAMI unfortunately  >:(

The round 23 game against Adelaide is the one that will depend on whether we get a top 10 draft pick or not.
Having said that on current form and the opposition we play we'll be lucky to win one.

Yes, true but we need 2 or 3 wins to write off the last couple of months as a black hole

said after the melb game we would lose 8 in a row in a thread i started on big footy. sheesh how wrong can one be i thought we could probably snag one but i reckon losing 10 in a row is now odds on.
