It still doesn't quite compute for me that Richmond is the highest ranking of the Victorian clubs.
Richmond...
Relax, kids. Richmond will not win the premiership. Not a chance in the world. Godawful outfit.
Keep hearing that and I still think their best footy is good enough. Lost so many close games, should be on top. I have $50 on them at 40-1 to win the flag.
Evidence that equalisation is working*.Relax, kids. Richmond will not win the premiership. Not a chance in the world. Godawful outfit.
Is anyone under rating Sydney anymore?The team I think is truly underrated remains Sydney, people look at the ladder but that's just their first six weeks. The rest is scary. I can easily see Sydney playing the Gf this year.
Them or Adelaide for me.Is anyone under rating Sydney anymore?
Them or Adelaide for me.
They are a much better side with Betts in. I wonder if the concern is whether their midfield can stand up under finals pressure?I feel Adelaide is definitely being undersold. Seeing only one coach tip them for the premiership, behind 5 for GWS and 3 each for Geelong and Sydney, was bizarre.
I can't rule out GWS just yet. If they beat the Dogs and Geelong on the run in to finals, they'll re-emerge as a contender.Them or Adelaide for me.

Given the evenness of the comp and the injuries to their competition, I also put Richmond in the mix for a GF spot. Their battles will be mental moreso than anything else. If they can win one final, then anything is possible. They play the MCG pretty well too. If they could grab a top 2 finish (not impossible when you compare their draw to GWS's), they will give themselves an opportunity to play at the G three times in a row through the finals. Win the first final and they'll be in a great spot.

That's where I've landed. In other words, I've put a line through the Dogs, Port, Bombers and probably Geelong. I am a little wary about the Dogs but Easton Wood is a huge loss.Obviously there's a level of bias, but I think GWS is as good a chance as anyone bar Adelaide. Their big issue has been that their injuries have really focused in the inside midfielder category. Coniglio, Hopper and Griffen have all missed most of the year. This has forced guys like Shiel to play more inside where he really shouldn't be. That's why we've seen GWS bounce back now that Coniglio is back in, and improved again with Hopper on the weekend.
My prediction would be:
- Adelaide
- GWS
- Sydney
- Richmond
They will have a few that will be pretty fresh and keen having missed large chunks of the year. Coukd be hard to beat come finals.Obviously there's a level of bias, but I think GWS is as good a chance as anyone bar Adelaide.

Still feel if they shut Sloane out, the next layer cant step up. But impressive against port and any side that can score that heavily must be a threat.Their midfield is standing up at the moment.
They have battled that Demon throughout the year, but i think they are coming out the other side.
Think adelaide is the only real one from my point of veiw. They have been able to defend well and score heavily. Sydney would be my 2nd then the other two a distant 3rd and 4thObviously there's a level of bias, but I think GWS is as good a chance as anyone bar Adelaide.

Off the bottom? Indubitably.Can we still make it? If not, Adelaide or Sydney for mine.
