Burning questions for RichmondJennifer Phelan

4 July 2018Who's going to fire the first cannonball at them?We're saying it's the Tigers and then … daylight. They seem to be getting better every week which, scarily, is what they started to do around the round 17 mark last year. They're a ridiculously hard proposition at the MCG and have five remaining games there, and looking at their draw, they're a realistic chance to go through to the finals undefeated despite their poor 2018 interstate record and the fact they take their show on the road two more times.
Can they maintain the rage?When you're this far in front of the rest of the competition and seeing off opponents left, right and centre, how much does it become about mindset? Will they be able to maintain their manic pressure all the way through? It was back to its all-time best in round 13 against Geelong, with Damien Hardwick describing it afterwards as having returned to an elite level. The challenge now is to hold that and not get caught up in the hype that will no doubt start to build as the finals approach.
