It's like asking if you'll make it to the crapier in time

[tony_montana]

Kardinia park is narrow, will suit us - i reckon we're a real chance against geelong - bookmark it

 

[rogerd3]

Oh dearie me we are gonna lose this match and that match.

Bunch of Shirley Temples.

[🏅Dooks]

A tiger would beat a cat in a fight. Why wouldn't we beat Geelong?

[mat073]

Michael Walters season is over - thus making the match against Fremantle more winnable.

[Willy]

Should definitely beat Freo.
They're crap and will have the cue in the rack.

[mat073]

This will be Freos last ever game at Subiaco oval - might give them extra motivation.  Hopefully the cue is back in the rack.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

No apparentlywe'll beat them because Footscray won the flag last year....

We'll beat them because quite simply, if we don't crap bullets, wematch  up well against them and should already have won 4 of our last 5 games in the past 5 years.
The issue isn't talent, game plan or coaching. It's finishing the stuffing job.

[Diocletian]

Geelong by 40.

This will be Freos last ever game at Subiaco oval - might give them extra motivation.  Hopefully the cue is back in the rack.

Hopefully we put the cue back in their clacka

Eight-pointers: Clutch games in the final five rounds

26 July 2017

Round 20 - Richmond v Hawthorn, MCG, Sunday
The Tigers are well in the hunt for a top-four berth and would go some way to achieving that with a win over the Hawks. Richmond will be keeping a sneaky eye on what happens in the Showdown in Adelaide, as a Port Adelaide loss could see them jump two games clear of their South Australian rivals.

Round 21 - Geelong v Richmond, Simonds Stadium, Saturday
The two powerhouse clubs will face off at Simonds Stadium for the first time since 2012 in what shapes as a pivotal clash between two sides battling it out for a place in the top four. The hottest ticket in town.

Round 23 - Richmond v St Kilda, MCG, timeslot TBC
The Tiger army will be in full voice when Richmond meets the Saints at the MCG. Richmond could be playing for a top-four spot, while St Kilda's hopes of making the finals could well hinge on its final game. The Saints spifflicated the Tigers by 67 points when they met in round 16. Surely the result will be a little closer this time around?

lol mat, Walters or not surely we dont need to rely on injuries to bottom teams to get over them. Should we not be wanting to play all teams at full strength so we can test ourselves after all if i believe tiger supporters like you we are a top side.
Play em at full strength and there are no excuses.I already know what you would say if we lost say Martin and got beat.

Up until finals you should want to play every team at full strength.After all it is one of few indicators of where you are in comparison to your opponents.
On the op  fmd surely we are a lock for finals now but would it not be so Richmond like to fall in a hole and miss altogether. And that my friend is possible with just ione or two injuries to the wrong players  and for me that says exactly where we are at.

One win to go to make sure of at least finals. Top 4 now the goal.

Tigers solidify top-four spot
It wasn't the most convincing of wins by the Tigers, but the 33-point victory was still enough to solidify a top-four spot. With Port Adelaide's last-gasp win over St Kilda, Richmond needed a win to take fourth spot back. The Tigers now go into a mini tough run, coming up against a resurgent Hawthorn and bogey side Geelong at Simonds Stadium, before taking on Fremantle in Perth. The win over the Suns puts them a game clear of Port Adelaide in fourth position, an important buffer considering the Power's far superior percentage.

The run home: Your club's road to September

31 July 2017

4. Richmond

48 points (12 wins, six losses) 110.5 per cent
Richmond would no doubt enjoy the prospect of ending Hawthorn's season once and for all (and would please some other teams as well) if they can get the win in what shapes as a great Sunday afternoon matinee at the MCG. But more to the point, they could go two games clear of Port Adelaide in the race for the double chance if the Power gets beaten in the Showdown. The Geelong game to follow is mega as well, but first things first for the Tigers.

The run home
Rd 20: Hawthorn (MCG)
Rd 21: Geelong (Simonds Stadium)
Rd 22: Fremantle (Domain Stadium)
Rd 23: St Kilda (MCG)

Melbourne beat the struggling Giants .

Sydney beat the Dangerfieldless Cats

Richmond beat the Hodgeless Hawks


All that equates to the Tigers jumping up to second spot on the ladder .
