I think Richmond deserve a spot. Any team that can pull out 9 wins in a row.. deserves a chance to play finals.

Port will win.. but the margin will be under 2 goals either way.

Credit and respect to Richmond. They deserve it.


I'm glad West Coast & Adelaide didn't make the 8. Adelaide are just about the biggest frauds going around. West Coast is the only team in the last 2 years who have not actually beaten a side that has finnished top 8.

Outside of BigFooty I actually like Richmond because the majority of my family goes for them, but their supporters on here are some of the worst people I've ever come across.
Don't limit them to BigFooty.

There are two things I hate. People who are intolerant of other supporters, and Richmond supporters.

I see us getting into finals in 2009 as the definition of a Bradbury, really. We won 10.5 games and 9th (Hawthorn) won only nine. We were the best of an ordinary bunch hovering around 8th-11th that year.

I don't see how they Bradbury'd it. They won 9 in a row to get there, other teams didn't fall over.
There are about 2 wins of genuine merit in that streak.

It's quite extraordinary that they've managed to turn a season that, based on finishing 5th and a fixture engineered to seat them in the top 4, into an effort more highly praised than St Kilda's resurrection in '11.

They shouldn't be though.

Haven't beaten a finals side in two years.
true that. I'm not saying they deserve it by any means, but you'd have to think they would be there if franklin played yesterday, given the swans spent the best part of the last 10 minutes yesterday bombing the ball into the front 50 where Troy Chaplin and Alex Rance were playing on no one in particular

Each of those 9 wins were worth 4 points.

I think the Tigers are in kinda similar situation to Essendon. I'm proud of my club making the finals but I want Essendon to put in a really good effort and win or lose giving our all. If we get smacked it will be hard to digest.

Same......If the tigers get smacked again you just wonder what 2015 will be like for them. Port are up,and about again.
