Richmond 2015 Draw - 7 FRIDAY NIGHT GAMES

[telsor]

Need to get on a roll early. If we can be 4-0 going into the rnd 5 clash against Geelong at the G, the crowd will get us home.

 

[Groupie_]

To be honest when I first saw this draw I thought we will be 6th-10th again.

Looks tough and if we make finals it'll be an elim yet again. Could easily be looking at a change of coach in the off season

 

[Truetiger]

For those from tassie any hotels/ motels in walking distance for when we play nth ? lol

 

[no orange peeler]

No excuses tiges. Build some serious momentum early and let the army carry you through.

Carlton [A] - Win
W Bulldogs [H] - Win
Brisbane [A] - Win
Melbourne [H] - Win
Geelong [H] - 50/50
North [A] - 50/50
Collingwood [H] - Win
Port Adelaide [A] - Lose
Essendon [H] - Win (50/50 if no bans)
Fremantle [A] - Lose
West Coast [H] - Win
Sydney [A] - Lose
GWS [H] - Win
Carlton [H] - Win
St Kilda [A] - Win
Fremantle [H] - 50/50
Hawthorn [A] - Lose
Adelaide [A] - Win
Gold Coast [H] - Win
Collingwood [A] - Win
Essendon [A] - Win (50/50 if bans are over)
North Melbourne [H] - 50/50

That gives us 12-14 x should wins, 4-6 x 50/50s and 4 losses. Which should mean around 15-16 wins and a decent chance at Top 4.
If we play like we did in the 2nd half of the year (or better) then we should easily be able to win most/all of those 50/50s and push for 16+ wins.

 

[Groupie_]

No Footscray, Saints, Demons or GWS twice

we are farked imo. no chance for top 4

I get 9 "should" wins, and that's inculding our bogey side Carlton twice! Tough draw, but a good, fair draw. If we are going to win a final, we'll make it comfortably.

The meltdown on the main board is outa control about Richmond, some hawk flog keeps crapping on about attendances totally ignoring the fact they we only played carlton and Collingwood once in 2014, the port supporters are cracking the shits we have more Friday nighters than them, west coast fans, Essendon fans all getting in on the 'crack the shits ' about richmonds draw.

 

[Rouel_14]

So exciting!
So many games I actually want to go too!
If we happen to have a bad year and miss finals I will be very disappointed if Hardwick gets the sack.
It is this exact reason we are 35 years without success and I think standing by a guy that has each year seen a improvement (last year winning 9 in a row) showed something even more special to me) would be a bigger statement than getting rid of him!

What you are seeing TT is the average minnow supporter realises that the AFL has taken notice that the once sleeping Tiger is now awake and that the tiger also has a 12" utensil. Wait till we finally turn the corner completely and start winning finals. Clubs will be clambering to play us so we will get the pie treatment of staying at the G and playing Friday nights.

Sorry Baz i dont remember asking for your opinion.

Simply happy to get to see the Tigers twice live for the year

Replace with carlton and Essendon, 4 wins there already and yes I am taking into account drug bans will be enforced.

 

[Groupie_]

Port will miss the 8 after finally getting a significant injury

 

[RobsJourney]

I'm stoked we get to play Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon twice. The crowds will be amazing.

I'm tipping a 6-1 or 7-0 start, the loss being against North but hoping we can turn things around against them finally.

Got a feeling it will be a good season. It will mean a tougher draw in 2016 when we'll be ready to take it up to the best.

 

[no orange peeler]

Bloody geelong supporters whinging they dont get a "big" club at KP. add another 20k seats and allow 10000 opposition members to come along and sure you can have it. Karnts want to have their cake and eat it too.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

No ******* around this year early though. Need to make those early games count. Win enough games early and momentum will carry us through a tough end to the season which is precisely what any team needs leading up to finals. MUST win those early games.......................MUST

 

[Groupie_]

Nice response, made my afternoon with a laugh. it's just that you haven't earnt what you have been given but then again you did take Chaplain of our hands which we are forever grateful.

Don't have to earn it, (we have to a degree as we are at least competitive again) ... Just a mildly competitive Richmond will make more money than most clubs in the league for the afl and the afl realises this.

The afl will not make money scheduling n0rf or port to play 7 Friday night games

Happy with the draw, the double up games aren't as hard as they could have been, no trip to Geelong, disappointed with the 2 games at North home grounds, surely the AFL could have put Hawthorn v Carlton at Etihad instead, but it's much the same playing a home game at the other teams ground. Hopefully it's just a warm up game for finals rather than another must win clash.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Afl.com has an article for the 21 games not to miss.
Pencil them in your diary boys Melbourne feature in 4, Bulldogs in 2
Whilst you guessed it Richmond 0.

Cant wait for some of those games.
