So? What's your point? We all knew these player's traits last year. Doesn't change the fact they should be 6-1 & are going prob better than anyone.
You've also dismissed Richmond on the basis of one bad half in Adelaide?? Who haven't they flogged over there? Agree they're not a top 4 threat this year, but to imply they haven't improved significantly from 2015/16 is ignorant.

My point is that their premiership is a victory for opportunism until proven otherwise. It is pointless to use them as a model for what can be achieved.
I dismiss Richmond for the following reasons:
1. Best 22 players who are suspect for varying reasons: Grigg, Houli, Miles and Lambert.
2. Midfield depth built on the supposed quality of Cotchin, Prestia, B. Ellis and Caddy.
3. Last night they played Soldo, Markov, Rioli, Butler, C. Ellis and Elton who at best are potentially AFL players.
4. A collective of players which is probably the least intelligent (football IQ) in the AFL.
5. Suspect coaching, strange use of players, strange balance of players selected which hurts midfield balance.
