Its looking like another season where Richmond will power through the finals, I just hope we're at the pointy end too, I think we're the only team that can beat them. The dogs might look good now but they will falter against the tigers next week and if they meet at any time in September imo. They have a good midfield, but you need more than a good midfield to beat them, you need a decent defence and attack too.
It's a long season, and Richmond have to make the top 4 yet. They actually travel a bit this year (and also have a couple of tough weeks coming up against Melb/WB). Sure, we expect them to win games and put the undefeated teams back in their place, but if not they will be in a precarious position.

Even for Richmond, winning from outside the top 4 would be hard.

WC have a huge role to play as well. Constantly falling over ourselves to finish 5th has cost us. If we can push into the top 4, with Port, Sydney, WB and Melb also fighting for the other 3 spots it becomes a logjam.

Richmond just know how to win finals. Until they are knocked out they are rightfully premiership favourites in my mind.

Makes it interesting. Literally any other team winning a flag will be refreshing.

Hopefully we have what it takes.

See The West has described Freo as the David Mundy of the AFL.

With complete disrespect I would have thought the following would be more appropriate comparisons:
  1. Matt Taberner;
  2. The Jack Darling alone in the goal square;
  3. Jack Watts;
  4. Scott Lycett alone in a goal square with the ball;
  5. Richard Tambling
  6. Masten;
  7. Joffrey Baratheon;
  8. Joffa;
  9. The Suns Trading gurus in 2017 😃;
  10. The Freo Dockers!

I think this is a good way to look at it. Tiggies are the incumbent and nothing they have put up screams that they have had a calamitous drop off.

I reckon they will belt Melbourne this week and grind the doggies out next week and the talk will all be about Tiggies 3-peat.

Yeah plus if Richmond win it this year you are mentally ready for it lol

Plus good on them. I dont really have anything bad to say about them.

They're winning and they cant help fixtures etc.

Dusty is an out and out gun.

It's up to someone else to lift.

Imagine coming all this way then posting just about the worst gif you could find.

Kind of like the Demons flying all the way to WA to dish up the worst performance in Prelim history

Dustbin Martin always holding his opponent’s jumper in contests but somehow he wins the free.

Sad watching Melbourne v Richmond. Just how far away we are from that contested play. We are bottom 4 and that's being kind.

And gee it's bizzare watching the freo game with no crowd.
