Not that I think they can win it, but Freo look well over in those odds.

I'd rate them a better chance than a number of the teams in front of them.

Let's not get carried away. We've beaten Carlton, Brisbane, Hawthorn and Melbourne. Did anyone have those teams anywhere near the top 4 this season?

Can't believe the hype surrounding us at the moment.

Correct, need to give Collingwood a wake-up call and then get a few serious scalps after that.

Still, you can only play who's in front of you.

As well as below you, and when you’re on top that is everyone.

We are on top of the ladder

I have a question for the stat buffs, how many teams have sat atop of the ladder after round 6 and gone on to win the premiership??
Say in the last 10 years.

That 2015 one looked a bit odd. checked it up hawks were 3rd.

[mat073]

Hawks were 3-3 . Lost to Essendon,  Port and GWS .  Think they ended up winning 9 in a row before losing to us on a Friday night .

Awesome, Thanks for doing that.
So by the looks of it only once in the last 10 years has the premier finished top of the ladder. Very interesting

#1 on the ladder
#1 in percentage (154.8% ..... up by 13 and 21 ahead of the next best)
#1 in offence (highest for .... 740)
#1 in defence (lowest against .... 478)

Richmond’s capacity to score heavily, combined with an ultra-tight defence, has given it a percentage of 154.8 after seven rounds of the 2018 season, which is the Tigers’ highest for the corresponding period since 1942.
