Cats getting uncomfortably close to our percentage. Go Tigers.

That can only happen if they finish 1st, 2nd, 5th or 6th. As long as we finish above them it shouldn't worry us.

Yes it’s the risk us finishing 3rd or 4th that I’m specifically thinking about. On balance I think I’d rather Richmond sneak in over Essendon if it improves our chance of finishing above Geelong.

Cats are still about 40 goals behind us in real terms...can't see us getting thrashed in any of our last 4 games, so Cats would need to beat their opponents by an average of 10 goals more than us each week to catch us - possible but unlikely. And if they do, all it will mean is we finish 2nd and play Port while they finish 1st and play Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney 1st week of the finals.

Lots of twists and turns to come this season no doubt.

Richmond doesn't worry me in the slightest. Can't see them doing much from here, but a win against the Cats would be a big bonus for us.

Watching the Sydney game, sounded like David King talking about the number of players Freo have used this season due to injuries. Then mentioning not as much as us, but we have used them out of choice apparently

 

[Bazzas Lovechild]

Franklin needs weeks for that elbow. Bloody dangerous act and entirely unnecessary

I shall be putting aside my intense hatred for Richmond for a few hours and hope they beat them Cats this afternoon. Yes, you read that correctly.

GO TIGRES!!!!!

For such a talented player he does so many ordinary and grubby acts.

Just in time for when they play Essendon too, dickhead.

heard this - I’m sure bevo went into the year wanting to rotate through the entire list and make 3-4 changes a week for fun

 

[John Smith92]

Whichever one of weightman and heeney doesn't get mark of the week has every right to feel absolutely robbed. Both could easily have been mark of the year any other time

 

[Chicago1]

Cats are 10 points up at 1/4 time 18-8. Tigres certainly having a go.

 

[bobs head soup]

Reckon Sydney are a sneaky chance of finishing 4th. They are playing a pretty funky gamestyle that will threaten anyone. They are just about the team I'd least like to meet week one at the current time.

To me they feel scarily like us in 2016 with their list demographic

Geelong just cheated their way to a 50m penalty - player made a large hand balling motion but didn’t release the ball, causing the Richmond player on the mark to jump up. Ha, but Dahlhaus missed a simple kick for goal

 

[Chicago1]

Well, looks like my time supporting Richmond has ended early.

Pathetic.

I hope they scrap the man on the mark rule for next year. It was effective for a while but now that’s been pretty much negated.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Legitimate chance to catch our %, currently only 6% behind with a heap of footy left

I hope you're feeling ashamed for even considering it

It’s a good old fashioned Geelong mauls Richmond match.

 

[bobs head soup]

For a team that has won 3 of 4 flags, it's mind boggling how many spuds play for Richmond.

This game makes me wonder how we lost to Richmond

Richmond fans will defend Tom Lynch to the death, and he's clearly had some role in their recent success, but his contract has certainly pushed out better depth than the players they're playing now due to injury - Markov, Ellis, Butler, Menadue, Conca, Higgins all players of various ability that they could have used this year.
