Today's final qualification puts something in perspective. Back 5 years ago our CEO had a target that generated tons of mirth and merriment. Words like deluded, fanciful and ridiculous were used. His target was 3-0-75 and was aiming for the stars. We now have reached 2-0-66. Not bad. We did not hit the stars but landed on the moon.
After the revival of this season, 70k+ has to be a realistic possibility for 2015 too, and if we can avoid having another s**t start like this year, and actually compete for Top 4 this time, we may even get to that glorious 75k mark.
In which case, if we could make the finals again in 2015 as well as get that 75k, we'd have actually got to the stars, but just taken an extra year to get there.

More likely west coast's expense - poor buddy was tired...
Said at the beginning of the week that the tigers would be the most deserving team to make 8th. We'll deserved coming from a near hopeless position & hopefully smash port next week.
You couldn't have just said this initially, instead of making some joke about my side not playing finals? Great post.
I was never trolling, I hope you wipe Port off the park next week as it would be ******* hilarious, and their supporters will go ape s**t.
We haven`t won as many games this year as last year, but we`re in the same position now as we were last year, an Elimination final.
Haha Lance, at least you are consistent. Sydney had about 6 players in their team today playing for their spot next week. The game was played with great intensity. If they were full strength, maybe they would have had 'nothing to play for'.
Yeah, I realise that, hence the question.
Do you really believe though they would have played as poorly with Buddy, McGlynn and JPK out there? For one, Richmond wouldn't have got that 5 goal head start. Genuine question, could you beat a full strength Sydney side atm?
I'm not saying that, was simply refuting Lances claim that the swans had nothing to play for.
And who knows, we had a similar start last time, when they were all playing...
Don't be bitter man, you really wouldn't have deserved a finals berth with 11 wins anyway.
Nah mate, I'm not bitter, we definitely didn't deserve a finals berth after cocking up so many chances this year. I'm just saying to be realistic about the season, and realise that Richmond still have a long way to go until they can push for a flag. Something went wrong to start 3-10.
Of course it did, but to the players and coaching staffs credit, they corrected it. And trust me, there was plenty to be corrected, starting at the top. But in that 9 wins we have won in Sydney, Perth and Adelaide. Beaten the minor premiers and all the teams around us fighting for our spot. Obviously in some pretty good form going into the finals.
And next week Kennedy probably comes in for Mitchell. Would Kennedy really have done much more than Mitchell did today. Their depth is so immense, that although they had a few out, it's not like other teams having that same quality out. No other team in the league has their depth. Comes with the salary cap.

Recent record 4-3 the Tiges way.
Did u even watch the game? You really think the swans didn't have a dip? Probably the match of the season. Seriously. We couldn't care less if we lose next week. 9-0 is bloody sweet!!!

Just looked, nothing special. Have you the correct year?
I would imagine he means in the following years, from a Prelim final in 96 and culminating in the threepeat.

Realistically they've had to win the last 5 games, not just this one, (after the 4 in a row it was realised that they could get in with Adelaide, pies losing games so they knew they had to win every game.). Pretty sure I watched them beat your mob when both teams were desperate for a win? I think your'e severely under rating a team that's win 9 in a row.

Really?
Were equal second last at round 15 (see here)
In Round 16 they were 45 points down at 3QT.
They won that, and five of their last six to make finals. The only side that truly challenged Carlton in the back half of that year.

Couldnt have put it any better
.. They havent buckled once under the pressure over the last 2 months. They were tested against us in the last quarter 2 weeks ago and rolled us. Thoroughly deserve to play finals footy. No doubt this is a new look Richmond, and about time too. The future looks mighty promising down at tigerland. Enjoy the win and best of luck next week.

Fantastic effort by the Tiges and they fully deserve al the plaudits they will get. When they were stuck on three wins and their confidence shot, to think they would be playing finals, honestly, it just could not be contemplated. For a team to do what Richmond have done is really really hard. To be brave enough as a group and coaching staff to turn around a slump like that is really admirable and will set the club in good stead for a long time to come. The coaching staff and players would have learned so much about their players and what tactics, motivational techniques etc. work on the group, I reckon it could be a catalyst for something pretty special for the Tigers in the future.
Anyone who begrudges what they have done, downplays it or discounts their chances next week either has no idea about football, is mean spirited or most likely both.

Was at the ground. Swans were clearly trying. They were still running HARD in the 4th quarter.
