Season will play out like a long version of all those close losses....on the verge of finals, only needing one win from four but a series of dumb mistakes will see us lose them all and finish 9th... :gotigers

It's more likely we'd lose all four games. It's the Richmond way.  :rollin

Like I've said before I won't believe until we beat Geelong.

We wont beat Geelong with Danger and selwood playing.  Not even remotley possible.

4 RICHMOND 48pts, 113.7%

R20: Hawthorn (MCG)

R21: Geelong (SS)

R22: Fremantle (S)

R23: St Kilda (MCG)

Our prediction: MASSIVE day today. Tigers win and Power loses and a top-four spot is nearly assured. Can overtake the Cats and set up a monster Simonds Stadium blockbuster next week. While the Giants’ return to form isn’t ideal, they have a tough run. Could the Tigers play a home qualifying final?

The magical 13 wins. With Crows stomping on Port two more wins should guarantee top 4? Winning all three would be massive for a real chance at second spot.

The Run Home after Round 20

afl.com.au
6 August 2017


3. Richmond

52 points (13 wins, six losses), 112.0 per cent

A surprisingly straightforward win over the Hawks secures the Tigers in the top four that little bit more and the pressure football they played on Sunday should stand up in September. But first there is the small matter of Geelong and the true Saturday afternoon blockbuster down at the Cattery. If the Tigers can win all three games from here, a top-two spot beckons if the Giants stumble. An MCG qualifying final? How good would that be?

The run home
Rd 21: Geelong (Simonds Stadium)
Rd 22: Fremantle (Domain Stadium)
Rd 23: St Kilda (MCG)

If we turn up to play we can win every game that's remaining.
To be sitting 3rd is an amazing achievement for the season, a lot of new players in the team.
Responsibility on 2nd tier and younger players to step up. Been a great success.
Hopefully they can just bring the pressure in September.

Defy recent history and beat a banged up Geelong next weekend....a final against GWS must be considered plausible.  Certainly a much more desirable option than playing the Crows in Adelaide.

Here's a larf.

Just did a ladder predictor and had us finishing 3rd after losing this week to the Cats but beating St. Kilda.

We'd play GWS first round of the finals up there and then (if we lose) play the winner of Sydney v Essendon (obviously Sydney).

So we'd host Sydney in the 2nd week of the finals.

Good Times!
