I'm almost going to enjoy watching Adelaide destroy these flogs next week.

You would be happy at 5-0 as tiger fan. However, I just don't think they are anywhere near the top 4 sides. Am I missing something ??

No, no you are not.

Although losing their ruckman before the last quarter didn't help, Melbourne also went into panic mode. Once Richmond got to within 13 points you thought they would win, once it was 7 you were sure. At least three shots at goal came from the set-ups at throw-ins, where it was continuously pointed out that Melbourne had no-one to cover the likely loss of the tap.
Melbourne's play in the last quarter was a bit like ours has sometimes been where we'd have a lead and then it would be eroded by a couple of goals leading to a complete breakdown and loss.

People keep saying it's an even season. It isn't. Richmond winning 5 games in a row proves that.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Love to see this Richmond team happy and up and about knowing they'll never win anything

Haha I was thinking the same thing.

There is something that draws me in when they are doing well because you know the crash is going to be just as spectacular.

Now that is taking way to far channel 7... Encore screening of that game before the Col v Ess game

 

[Powerade 08]

it'll be interesting to see who gets the coaches voters from that shitshow. Will they be lazy and give top votes to Martin and Cotchin or will they go Nankervis, Grigg, Houli, Oliver.

I feel like the results are going our way a little bit so far this year...

My god i might want the crows to win next week. Someone pass me my medication.

 

[Papa G]

A different "feel" about the Tigers this year. Lol.

 

[mic59]

Bloody Dees. Last time I change my tip. But at least that game answered one question, Richmond will not make the finals this year, Even though they're 5-0 they have in that beaten Carlton and Brisbane, and Carlton not all that convincingly. They have beaten West Coast and Collingwood, both of them woefully inaccurate. And to top it off a Dees team which finished with two less players and had to rely on Jack Watts to ruck the last quarter.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

It's not an even season. 2 horse race ATM.

Richmond are not even in the same league as the crows.

 

[Bundilla]

Every match I watch I think we are better than these teams! Let's hope.

no friggin way

Either way it's a win

Richmond have beaten Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane, West Coast and Melbourne. Hardly a tough draw. Remember a couple of years ago, when they lost 8 or nine in a row after a similarly hyped-up, camouflaged start?

They're not good. 3 goals in a half against Collingwood in perfect conditions showed that. They'll implode spectacularly and hilariously...

Yeah it's coming and soon.

 

[philreich]

That's a silly comment. What about all the many other great reasons to hate Richmond?

I love only 1 thing about Richmond: 2014 elimination final.

 

[tribey]

Melbourne's gameplan has a lot of ours when we blow games about it.

So much graft, up and back running, handball, spread, for so little dividend. One too many errant handballs, missed kicks and butchered shots at goal, only to be skinned with direct and efficient counterattack.

Should be much further in front.

If Melbourne don't have a winning lead at 3QT, Richmond will run all over them.

You'd think I'd have cashed out.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love two more things: giving us Schulz and taking away Chaplin.

 

[Janus]

Richmond are good enough to make the eight. Not top four though:

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Difficult to wrestle back momentum in the middle when Jack Watts Pick #1 is rucking

True but they've died in the ass late in a few games, I'm not suprised I didn't buy the hype before the season started.
Even with Gawn they are middle of the road at best.

Crows vs. Tigers Grand Final

Who would you rather see win?
