After making no trades to make our list better, I have a bad feeling we get over taken by a team or two or three next year.
Will tigers make the 8?

This isn't a stab at you, but it's exactly this kind of complacent "it'll happen" attitude which has held Richmond back for the better part of 30 years. To hear Ivan Maric come out midyear and say the team had a lazy preseason thinking it would all follow naturally for them- well that's exactly why Richmond are still yet to elevate their position above mediocrity. I'll be watching on with interest to see if the penny has truly dropped in 2015.Yes we will win the 12-13 games needed for finals. Whether we go any further than that remains to be seen. When your key players are mostly in their early/mid 20s, natural progression can sometimes be enough.
So will every Richmond fan mate, if it hasnt its see ya later Hardwick.This isn't a stab at you, but it's exactly this kind of complacent "it'll happen" attitude which has held Richmond back for the better part of 30 years.

They can, but I don't think they will.
I think your mob have a bit more pressure not to fall from expectation than we do all of a sudden, agree?
Do you mean end of the 2012 season because I'm pretty sure Port won more H/A games than Richmond in 2014.Since the the end of the 2013 season Richmond have won more regular season matches than Port. Im not saying we are as good as Port but when you look at a lot of the predictions in the ladder prediction thread they think we are average to poor. Whereas, we are average to good at the moment. I expect us to make the 8 again this season.
They showed what they a capable of in the second half of this year.
I am not saying that they won't make the 8 - as i think they will. However who exactly did they beat the back half of 2014?
Port at Etihad, in the middle of their form slump. Nothing special about that win IMO.
Essendon, they beat them every year at the end of the season. Nothing special.
Sydney at ANZ, with half their team out, focusing on a home final the week after. Nothing special there.
West Coast in Perth. So did many teams last year.
Bulldogs, Saints twice, GWS, Brisbane at the MCG.
Their best win IMO was against the Crows at AO who had everything to play for.
Winning 9 straight is a great effort but it wasn't anything amazing.
