Prediction Q: If you start 0-2, is it time to look to the future?

[The Gong]

Nah it just makes you Richmond.

I said make finals, not finish ninth.

 

[Blue1980]

If the future means round 3 onwards, the OP is correct

 

[maskmcgee]

No

 

[Power Raid]

how good are those swans?

 

[base615]

People said that after you won a few games, then promptly lost to Hawks.
Swans are not that good, but more importantly they are coming from a mathematically tough win-loss situation. Won't happen.

 

[base615]

You wont make the finals

This thread is a great read.

Scary. Can they finish fourth or is it unlikely?

Depends. Port can't beat Gold Coast by too much (under 60 points essentially), and Richmond need to lose against St Kilda.

Both possible. Interesting if Port win and Richmond lose, it could very well be Adelaide v Port in the first qualifying final.

I'm thinking they'll secure it

Richmond have to lose though. Reckon it'll happen?

I love the tigers but I can see them dropping this game

Nice reverse jinx attempt but you're still in the driving seat

Hmmmm.... bloody interesting if it does happen

Nice to read this thread in retrospect....to get here my mob just played a 14-2 Final series.

We are a bit beaten up with injuries, so the break will do the Bloods no harm.

We also beat each member of the probable final 4 on their home decks

Surprised more people arent saying that

Well, September is in the future.

Richmond in Round 13?
Adelaide, Geelong and GWS @ their place however is impressive reading

 

[FS25]

Wowee. Monumental bump

 

[maskmcgee]

Look, I know people have opened this thread thinking it's a moronic statement to make.

Evidence to the contrary?

 

[samFFC]

Yep congrats.
Unprecedented run.
Would back the odds of 0-2 teams struggling and 0-6 teams being finished in 2018 and beyond, despite Sydney's run.

If we lose and west coast jump Melbourne, they've probably had the easiest path to a prelim ever, paved for them. West coast in Sydney then most likely port in Adelaide. If we win, it's Essendon in Sydney then us or Geelong (realistically probably us) at the G.

They got us. Our 4th biggest loss of the season, all 9 points of the margin.

 

[Tuco]

Sydney have twice recovered from 0-2 starts to make grand finals.

In 2006 and 2014 they were 1-3 after 4 rounds, but stuck to it and made the grabd final both years. Yes they lost both thise years, but the point is you can turn things around and not just throw in the towel.

Sydney were 0-2 in 96 and ended up minor premiers and grand finalists.

Any team that deliberately quits 2 weeks into a season needs a new board and coaching staff. I'd clean those defeatists out before even reviewing a single player.

Longmire needs to show me something.
