The run home: Where will we finish on the ladder?

The run home: Where we will we finish on the ladder at the end of the Home & Away season?



4. Richmond

52 points (13 wins, six losses), 111.3 per cent
It's going to be tough to toss the Tigers. They've won six on the trot and finish the home and away season with three more games at their MCG stronghold. A clash with Carlton shouldn't pose too many problems, after which they would also be heavily favoured to account for fellow premiership contenders West Coast and Brisbane. A top-two spot is a very real possibility. - Ben Collins

R21: Carlton @ MCG
R22: West Coast @ MCG
R23: Brisbane @ MCG

4. RICHMOND — 52, 111.3%


Nothing too special on a forgettable evening. Toby Nankervis getting through the VFL was vital, his absence being highlighted by Max Gawn’s dominance. And those who watched the VFL said Marlion Pickett isn’t far off being unleashed come finals time. It’s all falling into place.

RUN HOME
Rd 21 Carlton (MCG)
Rd 22 West Coast (MCG)
Rd 23 Brisbane (MCG)

The Tigers are purring — six wins in a row and a scoring average of 109.2 points in that period. Going as well as the 2017 flag year with their last three games at home. If the Cats can’t arrest their slide and the Tigers beat the Eagles and Lions, they can still finish in top spot.

No room for error it seems.

Need to win all 3 remaining games to finish top 4.

Unless the Cats and us both beat the Lions
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I can actually see West Coast losing two games from here.

The Crows will be desperate and then they have us. No gimmes, even if they have the Crows at home.

I just get the feeling we will drop one and finish 5th.  Hopefully GWS drop one also. 
May all come down to Geelong beating Lions then us beating them if we win next 2.

I wish Sam Reid was paid that mark.

At least our destiny is in our hands.

I feel uncomfortable with regards to our top four aspirations.

Don't forget they won another tin-arse game the week before when they knocked off Port by a point.

David King has us winning all 3 games and finishing 3rd. He has us playing the Eagles away in the first week of the finals.

Mark Maclure has us losing to Brisbane in the final round to finish 5th and playing Adelaide in an Elimination Final.

We won't win all three games IMO - the others around us likely will.

Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world finishing 5th. But any elimination final makes me awfully nervous after our last 3 efforts.

So you think we will lose our last two games then?

I an see us maybe dropping one, but not both.
