I keep hearing, Richmond are playing a great brand of footy. Richmond are the real deal. Hardwick is talking a lot, encouraging Collingwood to stick with Nathan after Richmond stuck with him which lead to the media labeling it a revival. Is it a revival so far? It's not, we all know what Richmond need to do.
2006 was the last time they defeated their first opponent, Geelong. 11 years ago. Selwood (29) hadn't been drafted yet.
Say they lose for Geelong for the 15th straight game, they then likely play a 14-2 Sydney, who Richmond lost to at home a few weeks ago.
Supposedly like Floyd Mayweathers head, Richmonds forward line is too small. As we often hear from J. Brown OTC, it is harder for small forwards to perform their role under finals pressure, a much more contested ball game.
Although I believe that how they play is the least of the worries. They've beaten Hawthorns, Sydneys and had hot streaks leading into finals. Richmond have earned their top four place and likely have a tough draw, but are they forgiven if they don't win a final? Say Richmond don't win a final, I believe Hardwick's press conference will tell if Richmond will ever win a final under him.
Do Richmond get a pass mark if they fail to win a final? I think not, and I see straight sets for them.
