[The hands of stone]

Has a team fallen off a cliff so dramatically before ?
Incredible

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

What is the lowest position a premier has finished in the following season. Richmond won’t just miss the eight, they are likely to finish in the bottom 6

when does the media narrative change on them?

Hawthorn 2009?

Ouch, sorry, uncalled for...

Adelaide finished 13th in 1999

I hope soon.

Would it be too much to ask for Hawks/Clarko to get a few days off?

Or will the press keep us involved - Clarko at Punt Road in 2022?

 

[Steven Tyler]

Collingwood winning should all but guarantee us pick 2 now

that’s great

intersting where the tigers go at end of season. 4 picks inside 30, do they go to the draft? Or try and go again by topping up on a Cerra etc?

We just need to lose to Adelaide and Collingwood to be sure


And yes, I know, it sucks to be actively wanting us to lose games, but short term pain for long term gain!

 

[TylerDurden]

Pies playing how we should be now.
Looked awesome last qtr.

 

[kazzooka]

Thankfully it looks like Richmond will miss the 8. Had they 3 peated this season they would have legitimate claims to being better than us.

Just shows how hard it is. 4 consecutive grand finals and 7 consecutive finals appearances in ours. Finals 8 in 9 years 4 flags, 5gfs.

Only our 80s side and Melbourne in the 50's compares.

A bit of trivia...

The last club to miss AFL/VFL finals after going B2B was Melbourne in 1942.

I'm looking forward to this happening again this year

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Gold Coast have been great the last couple of weeks, I did want GWS to win though to make Richmond's life even harder. The positive is the Suns are now 2 wins ahead of us.

The Swans looked really good today, quality side and after missing finals 2 years straight looks as though they're set for another decade of finals. Wouldn't be overly concerned if I was the dogs, had some outs and still have top 2 in their hands.

Now for Richmond, absolutely delighted to see this decline, when I got asked pre season what I wanted out of 2021, I said no Tigers 3 peat.

 

[Lotus]

Tigers loss massive - last three weeks Suns, Saints, and now Pies. Unlikely to play finals.

I didn't see this outcome in 2021 at all, expected them top 4 again.

The sign was there last year, but short quarter and hub and they have such a strong believe and mental strength which got them over the line.

Another sign was our game in round 2. Lots of posters here called Tigers only on their 2nd gear to beat us, but we have watched lots of footy to recognise the decline in performance like what happened to our champion team.

It will be interesting to see how they'll manage their list next year.

They have to load up again.

Martin, Bolton, Edwards, Balta, Lynch, Astbury, Grimes, Short, Lambert, RCD, etc…. they've got more than enough capable players to take another shot at it.

 

[Viddiot]

Wow...'Good old Collingwood...for-a little while'. First result I'm happy about this weekend!

Just shows what a legitimately great side we had for our three peat era.

Adelaide in 1999.

Holy crap, how did I forget about them

 

[MrPremiership]

Someone pointed out to me last night that the Crows selected Himmleberg who did not have a shot on goal last week v Glenelg rather than play Tom Lynch who kicked 4 and also Darcy Fogarty/Shane McAdam.

They’re not trying to win. Their percentage now lower then ours.

Will be interesting to see what happens when we play them in Adelaide in a few weeks.......will test how badly both teams want to lose

Adelaide also have to play North at home in the final game.

 

[theiaofseed]

Adelaide 2-9
North Melbourne 2-8-1
Hawthorn 3-8
Richmond 4-7
Collingwood 4-7
Carlton 4-7
Gold Coast 5-6
Essendon 6-5

Thats the results from the last 3 months of football a few surprises I'd say.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

What a topsy turvy last 5 weeks the season has been. Of the clubs in the 8, all but Geelong have lost at least 2 of their last 5 games.
The finals will be all about the team that can find form at that time.

 

[Stottzy]

A lot of Richmond supporters claim we were just as arrogant, but I don't remember us being this knobish.

 

[Flukey!]

Richmond 12th.
I love it.

 

[Kil Phearns]

Threepeating is hard, innit?

 

[Stratton24]

Richmond 12th.
I love it.

Do we tank in the last round if a win gets them to 9th?

 

[Hodgey 15]

Maybe we were arrogant but the players were always respectful and didn't come across as arrogant.
There's a distinct lack of humility also with some of the Richmond players and particularly supporters.
People hated us (they still do lol) but I always felt there was at the least a begrudging respect afforded towards the club and it's success.
