From premiership contenders to not playing finals

[dwaino]

Genuine contenders don't lose to Melbourne.

We have never been a premiership contender this year despite the media carrying like somehow we are.

To be a premiership contender you have to be guaranteed a place in this the finals.

And again despite the media talking us up we weren't in that position going into Friday night's game and it's now Sunday and we are still not in that position

Have always maitained get yourself into the finals first and then worry about where you finish

So my tip to the RFC is win 2 more games, lock up a finals birth and then see where you finish

And BTW if we make it there is no way the AFL will schedule us at Etihad. sugary is 100% correct, it's about money and we will guarantee big crowds

Agree with all of this.

The Run Home after Round 19
afl.com.au
August 10, 2015

7. Richmond

44 points (11 wins, seven losses) 108.9 per cent

Bachar Houli's ill-conceived kick-out against Fremantle two weeks ago, which cost the Tigers the win, continues to haunt them. Instead of being out of fourth on percentage, they're a game and nine per cent behind and of more concern now is that they could still miss the finals altogether. With the Suns and Bombers still to come, they should win at least two more but Collingwood and North will be problematic unless the Tigers can hit the scoreboard a bit more.

The run home:
Rd 20: Gold Coast at the MCG
Rd 21:Collingwood at the MCG
Rd 22: Essendon at the MCG
Rd 23: North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium

Just did the Ladder predictor and we'll finish 9th unless we can beat all of Gold Coast, Collingwood and Essendon.  Assume we lose to North at Ethiad as don't think we've got within 5 goals of those knobs at that joint.

That draw between Adelaide and Geelong as a result of Phil Walsh passing could mean both teams finish 2 pts above us. 

[Diocletian]

We're gone. Thanks Bachar....

[mat073]

If we can't beat Gold Coast , Essengone or a team that has recently lost 6 on the trot - do we really deserve to be there.

At least our destiny is in our own hands.

[WilliamPowell]

Reckon we will make it just .. and I mean just

Hence, why I didn't get too carried away when we beat Hawthorn

Yep it was a great win but it at no stage did it mean we were a lock for the top 8

[Diocletian]

We're mediocre and will be until Hardwick and the incompetent list managers are all shown the door....

[Eat_em_Alive]

We're gone. Thanks Bachar....

cmon mate, your being racist

we will win against Gold Coast, Collingwood and Essendon. I expect us to win against Norf. We will finish 5th IMHO but could finish 4th if we can punish Gold Coast, Collingwood and Essendon percentage wise. Its Tiger Time
