Embarrassingly stupid is thinking a single season defines where clubs are going to be in 12 months time.
Possibly. Alternatively, add Martin, a healthy Jacobs/Wright/Ziebell/Wood/Williams/Turner, another 12 months of development into Brown/Dumont/Clarke/McDonald/Preuss/Mountford/Simpkin etc, an easier draw due to finishing bottom in 2017, and suddenly a push into the eight is not that far-fetched at all.
Did you think Richmond were a top four side this year at this point in 2016? I certainly didn't.

This whole “Richmond jumped from 16th to possibly top 4 so why can’t we?” theory is rubbish. If it were that simple then why doesn’t it happen more often?
