7. Richmond

32 points (eight wins, six losses), 95.3 per cent

Next week is the Tigers' final interstate trip of the home and away season, and is a game they will enter as raging favourites. Collect the win against the Suns and it leaves the Tigers in a strong position to set up a late charge to the top four. They have some challenging games late, including clashes with Collingwood, Greater Western Sydney and West Coast, while Brisbane and Port Adelaide could also be tough. But being Melbourne-based helps their cause. With the worst percentage in the top eight they need to claim some scalps. - Callum Twomey

Should be good for at least 12 but probably 13-14 wins.

Fingers crossed for something like 14-8 and 105%.

If we are really a serious contender for the premiership then we should be able to beat all 5 teams that are above us on the ladder. Doesn't mean we will win all 5 but we should look like we can otherwise we are kidding ourselves

7. Richmond (8-6, 95.3%)

Remaining games: Gold Coast Suns at MS, GWS Giants at MCG, Port Adelaide at MCG, Collingwood at MCG, Melbourne at MCG, Carlton at MCG, West Coast Eagles at MCG, Brisbane Lions at MCG

Remaining fixture difficulty: 11th-hardest (opponents’ average percentage 99.42, four top eight opponents, one out of home state)

Percentage of teams making top 8 from current record (1994-2016): 62.5%

The Tigers were arguably the biggest beneficiaries of Fremantle and Port Adelaide’s losses this weekend. They’re likely going to finish below those teams in percentage no matter what, so they need to win more games than them to finish above them. And here they are with an extra win in the column over them both, as well as the 7-7 Bombers. With next Saturday’s road trip to the Gold Coast being Richmond’s final interstate game of the season (jeez that’s crazy), and after soaring past the Saints despite their returning stars not being quite up to par, we’re confident this team will be playing finals. The best realistic case for this team is probably getting to 12 wins after the Melbourne game; but if they’re only at 10 at that point, it’s going to be a squeaker of a finish.

Fox Footy’s projection: 12.75 wins, finishing seventh

Carey said he couldn't believe people were talking about Richmond missing the finals. They are the sleeping giant given they are starting to get their key players back. One thing being injured on the sidelines does is it makes you more hungry than ever when you get back on the park.

Will the Tigers make the eight 🤔

So we beat Suns

Sydney beats Essendon
West Coast beats Freo
Adelaide beat Port

There will be a two game gap from 7th to 8th - with 5 teams on 28 points

With the Crows losing, we're now up to 6th and our percentage has jumped to 103%.

Would be funny if we did finish 4th and played Geelong at the 'G again and knocked 'em off again... :shh :shh

I think we might finish equal 4th but miss out because of percentage.
