Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
So guy who was the best for 2 entire seasons vs one who was the best in one game 3 times?
If Fyfe won the Norm Smith recency bias would propel him to Dusty status, who is in All Time category probably, not just “modern” great
Judd has 2 Brownlows and Norm, what a champion
No salt from me mate. You guys have not improved from last year.The salt is delicious.
Sore loser because I said your team looks average! And they are looking quite average now my friend!Sore loser
Definitely salty. It's fine, I get it, I'd be salty if I supported the Saints as well.No salt from me mate. You guys have not improved from last year.
Stay mad kidDefinitely salty. It's fine, I get it, I'd be salty if I supported the Saints as well.
What, you quoted me?Stay mad kid
We needed a good percentage boost. I think we actually lost percentage based on the game on the weekend. Went from 128% to 127%
Would love for Richmond to finish top 4.
Top 4 still wide open
Yeah, unfortunately that final couple of minutes stitched us up today for any Top 4 chance. I'd settle for 8th now.I think Richmond can’t make top 4 unfortunately. We’d have to go undefeated from here and try and do what the dogs did last year.
Might even face off in an EF!Yeah, unfortunately that final couple of minutes stitched us up today for any Top 4 chance. I'd settle for 8th now.
It's not a particularly good year to be the second best side anyway - such a massive gap between Melbourne and the rest.
I am not so sure about that re Melbourne and daylight.Yeah, unfortunately that final couple of minutes stitched us up today for any Top 4 chance. I'd settle for 8th now.

I went to two matches today - the Baggers vs Freo then the MCG Tiges vs Cats. Very impressed with the Blues - they were as good as Freo were bad. You should've been 8-9 goals up at half time such was your dominance, but Harry bottled a few he wouldn't normally have dropped. You owned the centre clearances (and around the ground contests) and your inside-50 count should've probably seen you out of sight 45 minutes into the match. Great pressure from the get-go, and Freo just couldn't handle it. Blues are the real deal, no doubt about it, but as I've said all season I still think we're all a mile behind the Dees.I am not so sure about that re Melbourne and daylight.
Do you think 16 wins needed for top 4?
I have said most of the year we are a possible, but not probable flag chance. We would be nuts to see this year as just a learning experience for future years, I mean you never know if you will get a better chance. I mean we should be there or thereabouts for the next 4-5 years, but all sorts of things can conspire against you in other years (loss of form, morale, injuries etc).I went to two matches today - the Baggers vs Freo then the MCG Tiges vs Cats.

However, I feel like the most serious chance of anyone knocking off the Dees was contained in that Richmond vs Geelong game. Both teams bring finals presence - the Cats structure up so well defensively and their forward line with Cameron in such great form might present a problem even for the Dees highly disciplined and organised defence. And the Tiges are still a bit of an enigma - keep 20 of our best 22 fit (and preferably don't have one of our absolute keys like Vlastuin or Prestia knocked out in the first quarter) and you just never know. Martin is still a couple of cogs short of his best - if he re-discovers it somehow then it's game on at Tigerland.
But I'm still very glad I loaded up the Sportsbet account on the Dees a couple of weeks back when they drifted out to 3.50. I'm about ready to spend the winnings already I'm that confident.

A bit like R1, Prestia going off today was a massive blow to the Tigers, as he is one of the most irreplaceable players Richmond have. You are right though Dusty would need to catch fire for the Tigers to really make a big push you'd imagine. I also see Richmond as more susceptable to injuries and have less depth than other sides in the 8 (though others may disagree).
