"Injury depleted" is a first gamer who wont get another game and a guy only playing because hes 200cm. Dees in more trouble than I ever imagined.Humility goes a long way. You've beaten an injury depleted Melbourne. And beaten Carlton, Brisbane and Collingwood and West Coast who struggle at the MCG. Nothing to write home about yet according to your supporters you are going to win the GF.
Gawn and Lewis were also missing from that side."Injury depleted" is a first gamer who wont get another game and a guy only playing because hes 200cm. Dees in more trouble than I ever imagined.
We kicked 12.16, if we'd kicked straight we'd have won by 6 goals. And before you say bad kicking is bad football, did you make the shots on goal excuse for Collingwood and West Coast when we (as underdogs) beat them?Not many expected you to win against WC and Dees, and really you were lucky to beat both. MCG aside, WC kicked themselves out of it with more scoring shots than Richmond. Dees lost two big men, which created the elements required for the comeback, without those injuries, Demons would probably have won by 6-8 goals. As others have pointed out, Richmond fans getting massively ahead of themselves is probably behind a general lack of sympathy.
So 1 player basically. Thought they'd have some depth by now.Gawn and Lewis were also missing from that side.
Hate? It will be a Bulldogs-level lovefest for Richmond from the neutrals when they break their grand final drought.

All I'm hearing is excuses for the teams we've beaten, 'young team' 'should've put it away early' 'can't travel' 'tigers should've won by more' 'had injuries'. We mightn't be contenders but bloody hell, a bit of credit wouldn't go astray.
I dare anyone saying we haven't beaten anyone to post their ladder predictions from preseason. I guarantee at least 2 of the sides we have beaten a majority had finishing higher than us, and more likely 3 of them. We got ahead of ourselves? Maybe people overrated other teams and or underrated us.
We have beaten sides we have struggled to beat recently in the Pies, Dees and West Coast.
We could easily been 2-3.
Then we'll make the 6-day break excuse like you all would if it was us beating a team off a 6-dayerLol yeah that ain't happening so we are all safe as houses.
Adelaide will beat them by minimum 10 goals next week and may want to make a point and do it by 15 goals.
Then we'll make the 6-day break excuse like you all would if it was us beating a team off a 6-dayer
Were you around in the 1970s?
Richmond people made Carlton supporters look modest by comparison.
They are probably going to smash us though. They're very, very good and I don't think we've got the sort of 4 quarter effort required unless they have an off gameLol already setting up the excuses
Well played mate well played

You have had a dream draw but played very well against other bottom half teams.
Your draw may allow you to sneak into the 8 without beating a contender at all this year but I think most rational fans think the Tigers are siting ducks if they make finals and would be swept aside by a decent team in September.
But credit to the Tigs for winning all games so far and to do it with an average coach is a fair effort
I'll explain it. Richmond have been the footy comic relief for 2 decades. Everyone loved laughing at your expense. All those years of finishing 9th and then to finally make the finals only to bomb out in the first week. It was real life slapstick comedy. We just don't want that to end. So if you guys actually become good, then who else do we laugh at?
This is not a dig. It's my honest assessment.
