Finding 9 more wins to make the 8

[Phil Mrakov]

How much wins did the bums get in with last year?

Frickin lucky club that lot.

They got in with 10 under Knighta. We missed out from 11 wins and a draw the year before under Wallet.

Just our luck!

The Run Home
By  Ben Guthrie

July 9, 2012

10. Richmond
28 points (seven wins, seven losses) 107.70 per cent

The run home:
Rd 16: Gold Coast at Cazaly's Stadium (Cairns)
Rd 17: North Melbourne at the MCG
Rd 18: Carlton at the MCG
Rd 19: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba
Rd 20: Western Bulldogs at the MCG
Rd 21: Fremantle at Paterson Stadium
Rd 22: Essendon at the MCG
Rd 23: Port Adelaide at the MCG

Following a tumultuous week off the field, the Tigers posted an uninspiring win against Melbourne at the weekend. They will expect a handsome win against the Suns this week, before regaining Dustin Martin for huge encounters with North Melbourne and then Carlton that could decide the race for eighth spot. Percentage boosts in games against the Lions, the Dogs and the Power will be vital. Needless to say if they drop those games, their finals hopes will be on thin ice.

We need at least 6 more wins and good percentage to make it.

Gold Coast - win, 30 points plus
North - win, any margin
Carlton - loss, slim margin
Brisbane - win, slim margin
Bulldogs - win, 30 points plus
Freo - loss, slim margin
Ess - win, slim margin
Port - win, 30 points plus

This, and we are in the eight. If we drop any of our 'wins' then we must beat Carlton and/or Freo, which I think will be beyond us the way we are playing ATM. The games against North, Carlton and Essendon will determine if we make it or not.

If we can't beat Carlton and Freo then frankly we don't deserve to play finals. We need to lift for these games. We need to show some character. Frankly I'd be more concerned about losing to these two than the Gold Coast because a loss to Gold Coast would just be a debacle. You can fix a debacle pretty quickly. However there is no short term fix for a teams inability to lift for important games against clubs that we need to beat if we are to go beyond the first week of finals.

I think that's a fair estimate of what may happen, although I would like to be pleasantly surprised

If we beat GC we will beat the Dogs and maybe Port, that's about it IMO.
