Do Richmond get a pass mark if they fail to win a final?

[TBoyleSuperstar]

No, you finish third you should win a final or it's a failed year.

 

[MightyHawks]

Look unless you've recently won say 3 premierships then failing to win a final should never be anyones passmark

I'm tipping the Tigers to beat Geelong

 

[cannot]

right now... who ****en cares.

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Fail obviously, but it wont happen.

Tigers are the real deal this year. Would love to see them bring it home.

 

[blitzer]

Straight sets is a fail. They are good enough to win a final though.

 

[Tiger71]

They will go out in straight sets.

We will beat freelong at the G

 

[tek87]

hell no.

 

[Football Tragic]

I think Richmond supporters would say that only a finals win will be a pass mark this year. A lot of opposition supporters may look at where we were at last year and say we've improved tremendously - and they'd be right, but only a win will satisfy the rabid Tiger faithful....

Agree. Final win a must

 

[Ron The Bear]

I give us a tick after eight wins as the younger side, the most in the competition. Anything from here is a bonus (from my supporter's perspective) but it's important we give a good account of ourselves in finals and take a step.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Is this thread serious? They haven't won a final in 16 years. They've now finished 3rd, and if they go out in straight sets (as I expect they will), this would be viewed as a success? It will be the extension of further failure.

 

[gavaniacono]

The question applies to your team given expectation. So yes, a big fail if crows get tossed aside in straight sets.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Pass mark if we reach week 3.Otherwise pack your bags Dimma you have taken us as far as you can.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

richmonds game wont hold them up in finals IMO, ive seen it so many times...
too many inexperienced players, and they cant handle pressure, too small forward line also

its 50:50 imo, its a pass and a fail if the lose both

 

[The Dice Man]

If it wasn't for David ****ing Mudny we would be minor premiers. Great effort to finish half a game off 1st, but the season starts now. Must win a final!

Normally, it would be a massive fail. But this year we have the quirk of Sydney being the best team and finishing 6th. If we lose to Sydney in a semi and go out in straight sets (which we will) I'm still giving us a pass.

 

[justlookingaround]

no way. no team does.
I think they'll at least beat Geelong at the 'G...

 

[Looney]

IS that what you think or is that what you want?

I think that's what everyone wants... except Richmond supporters

 

[HTT]

Well
If I posted on here at the start of the year that I thought we'd not only be competitive, but make finals and top 4, I'd have been roasted from all angles - and probably quite rightly (but boy would it have been a delicious bump).
So on that, I'd say we've already passed for 2017 with flying colours


But


If we lose two straight finals, I'm not sure how the group would cope. Obviously many of our players did not play in our previous 3 attempts, but there is still a large group that may be a bit scarred if it is extended to 5 losses.
Also, next year a finals win is absolute minimum, starting offer pass mark. If we don't win one this year or next year, it's a fail.

 

[Rack Watts]

Geelong followed by Sydney.
RIP.
Straight sets.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Dusty packing his bags after they lose the first final?

 

[Looney]

Geelong followed by Sydney.
RIP.
Straight sets.

So you're already predicting Sydney will beat your mob?

 

[Tigers_fan24]

They will go out in straight sets.

We've got a free win first game, how are we going out in straight sets again?

 

[Tiger71]

Is this thread serious? They haven't won a final in 16 years. They've now finished 3rd, and if they go out in straight sets (as I expect they will), this would be viewed as a success? It will be the extension of further failure.

You also said we would not even make finals. Do not filter this thread with your bottom 4 tears

 

[Rack Watts]

It's hardly news if I think Sydney are strong favourites is it?
I also think Richmond will go out in straight sets.
