When we make the finals who should we play ? (OER OFFICIAL FINALS THREAD)

[Phil Mrakov]

We won't be playing finals and we don't deserve to

if we go on a 8 or 9 game streak we deserve too. Don't be so negative all the time

That's all very fair and well, but what about increasing the poll options?

why? 8th will play Port or norf

Or Fremantle or Essendon.

no chance

And need Brisbane .West Coast and Carlton to have one win each against the odds
Not impossible on recent form

And that's the issue for mine "we need" other teams to do things that are out of our control

When you need to rely on others to help you make finals you don't deserve to be there 

And if by some miracle we make it, it shouldn't hide the debacle this season has been

If we do make it is it really a debacle though? Is it maybe just an okay season where we had a period of really bad form?

[Yeahright]

Oh btw this thread is quite a turn around from this one http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum/index.php?topic=20444.msg449988#msg449988 . But hey no troll

Perhaps "debacle" is the wrong word. But make finals and the problems that have been glaringly obvious all season don't suddenly disappear. Finals paper over the cracks. Our lack of depth, poor list don't suddenly become "non issues". They are still there and need to be addressed.

Yes we had a period of bad form and what did we do to fix it? Our coaches just kept playing (rewarding) the under performers rather than giving opportunities to kids who deserved it.

The last 5 weeks cannot and should not lull the club into some sort of false form of security that everything is fantastic now. They still have huge issues to address

Good points and you're right, no matter how the season ends the start of the season needs to be extensively looked at

Great campaign ox. Right up there with 'get effen serious'

The media has us finishing 11th.

The run home: Pies, Suns fade and there's still life in Tigers
Nick Bowen 
afl.com.au
July 28, 2014

12. Richmond
28 points (seven wins, 10 losses) 101.3 per cent

The Tigers have given their season a late air of respectability with four straight wins but, like the Eagles, they could win all five of their remaining games and still not make the finals. And given Richmond meets Essendon and has away clashes with Adelaide and the Sydney Swans to come, Damien Hardwick's men can start making their September holiday plans now.

The run home:
Rd 19: Greater Western Sydney at the MCG
Rd 20: Essendon at the MCG
Rd 21: Adelaide at Adelaide Oval
Rd 22: St Kilda at the MCG
Rd 23: Sydney Swans at ANZ Stadium

The Run Home: Matt Windley predicts every club’s finish to the AFL season

Herald-Sun
July 28, 2014 8:00PM

12. RICHMOND

28pts 101.3%

R19: GWS (MCG) W

R20: Essendon (MCG) L

R21: Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) L

R22: St Kilda (MCG) W

R23: Sydney (ANZ) L

MATT SAYS: Will jump West Coast into 11th but are Gold Coast, Collingwood and Adelaide catchable? Simply, the Tigers must beat the Crows in Round 21 to keep the door to the eight ajar, but realistically the Tigers must win all five games and hope the teams above them falter drastically.
