Richmond has bowed out in the first week of the finals in each of the past three seasons, but are intent on cracking the top-four in 2016.

Richmond fitness chief Peter Burge said a heat camp in Cairns last month had put the squad on track to complete a solid summer campaign.

“The way the guys have come back from Christmas, some of the indicators we’ve looked at so far, there’s no doubt that the camp has given us a really good platform,” Burge said.

We couldn't afford to drop those games in 2014 and 2015. But we did lose. What makes this year any more important?

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I won't be clapping anyone off if we lose to the Dees again .
But I will be on OER waiting for Claw ( who is in hiding like Luke Skywalker) to reappear .
Plus I'm sure Stalin will high jack every thread with his anti Grigg/Houli/Chapman/Hardwick/Peggy  vitriol...which is always entertaining.

What we need against Melbourne is, not for the players just to realise a top 4 spot is on the line, but for the stakes to be even higher - say a players 200th or a tribute game to a club legend. Surely the players would step up in that context and give their all

After all, they are apparently top blokes who would die for the jumper
