Could be top four instead of Freo  :'(

Coulda Shoulda Woulda we are 7th.
Lets build on that and tonight's effort. :thumbsup
Spoken like a Richmond supporter that seen this a few times before.
You know I'm an old timer from way back Mr Tigra. Fit the typical Demographic and age of an RFC supporter in his late 30's who has seen jack skata all his life from RFC.
Can't blame me for being at times a sceptic. :thumbsup
I feel ya Tucker.
But Im just old enough to remember the 1980 GF, had to stand on 2 Esky's to see it though. Those good 'ol days you could bring an Esky into the footy, when the final siren sounds we could run onto the ground & try to sprint to the centre first. Or just to slap as many players backs as you could.
And most of all, the joys of having a kick on the ground after the game.
The days when footy was a simple Saturday afternoon and Richmond was a powerhouse.

 ... I better stop I'm getting emotional.
The club that keeps giving.

Richmond Ressies @ Punt Road next year should be almost as good.

Bring a top hat.  :yep

@FoxFootyAnalyst - "Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon & Richmond are all in the top-8 together for the first time since after Round 19, 2001."


The AFL will be rubbing their hands with glee with the ladder like that. Almost guarantees plenty of big crowds in the 2nd half of the year.

Another important 8-point game coming for us in two weeks time. We owe the Crows from last year's loss.

Eddie McRacist was making me sick last night with all his pumping up of the Tigers. Memo to Eddie, your stupid decision to sack Malthouse is backfiring and Buckley has lost control, thanks to your easy draw you'll make finals, but you're on the slide Pies!
And you may not think I care for you

Tigers-Eagles going in opposite directions
Paul Gough
Sportal
04/06/2013


...

The only other team currently outside the top eight that looks good enough to feature in the September action is ninth-placed Adelaide but the Tigers play the Crows at the MCG in their next assignment on June 15 and a win there will take Damien Hardwick's team to 7-4 and have them well on track for their first finals berth since 2001.

After the Crows, the Tigers fixture gets considerably easier with matches still to come against the Western Bulldogs, St Kilda, North Melbourne, Gold Coast in Cairns (admittedly a fixture the Tigers have lost the past two seasons) as well as Brisbane at the MCG and GWS in the second last round.

On last night's form the Tigers are more than capable of winning all those games which, if they also beat Adelaide in a fortnight, would give them 13 wins - enough to finally end their finals drought.

Yep. Funny what happens when you have an even draw for once. 4 and 7 and have only beat Port, WB, Stk and some other poohole club....Brisbane that's right.

Everything gone our way this week. Let's go Saints and finals are looking good.  :clapping

1) Have to beat Adelaide. 8 point game.
2) Barrack against West Coast and Adelaide for the rest of the year.
3) Keep on winning!
