September 04, 2013 RICHMONDElimination final v Carlton, MCG, Sunday 3.20pm
WIN: semi-final against loser of Hawks v Swans qualifying final. Would then play winner of Cats v Dockers qualifying final in the preliminary final.
- After all those years of finishing ninth, Richmond will this week play - and could lose to - the team that should have finished ninth. A last-start loss to Carlton will have Tigers fans a little nervous heading in to Sunday's blockbuster, but, as Damien Hardwick said, this week is a different ball game - and his players were dominant early-on in that game too. The winner will likely head to Sydney for a semi-final with the Swans, although Tiger fans who believe Hawthorn has now become their side's bunny will hope the Hawks lose to the Swans on Friday night.
