We've copped a tough draw up until Round 10 this season and our position on the ladder til that time is likely to be below our realistic standing in the competition. Many people would have us sitting at 3-7 come Round 10. If that does arise it is far from over and our playing group must stay upbeat.
R4 - Geel (A)
R5 - WCE (Melb)
R6 - PA (A)
R7 - SYD (Melb)
R8 - ESS (Melb)
R9 - HAW (Melb)
R10 - STK (Melb)
Now we all give ourselves a chance in each and every game. However the non Richmond football world would suggest a loss to Geel, WCE, and Hawthorn. Therefore we must secure at least 2 wins out of PA, Syd, Ess, and StK to set us up for the R11-R17 period.
R11 - Fre (Melb)
R12 - GWS (A)
R13 - Bye
R14 - Adel (A)
R15 - Melb (Melb)
R16 - GC (A)
R17 - NMFC (Melb)
During the above period every game holds at least a 50/50 chance for us. The expectation would be to secure 5/6 wins here leaving us at 8-8 at Round 17 even if we don't get the wins early.
This competition is so bloody close and some poorer clubs (Adelaide) have better draws which makes it even harder. So if we can snatch a couple of wins and turn at 5-5 then the giant may actually wake for some September action this year.
What is your expectation come Round 10?
