The one time Richmond make finals, ninth place also gets in.

[Ridley This]

Is this the most bitter irony in football history?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

It would have been so, so good if they finished tenth this year

 

[Wiggo4PM]

Culture, this is like default for them should they fall and everyone move up

 

[captain blood 17]

Considering Norf have finished ninf more times than us in the last 20 years, I think they seeing the irony more.

Oh - that's funny
Underrated thread

But we are not in the finals....your statement is flawed.

The dons have trolled Richmond was Hirds plan all along.

 

[Steven Tyler]

What if the team that gets into 9 th spot plays the Tigers, and beats them?
North can easily do that

Nah North will finish 10th. Haven't you heard? It's the new 9th.

That would surely trigger a bigfooty meltdown, and probably a few more microwaved memberships.

Ninth didn't get into the finals Essendon will finish ninth, personally I love it, some consideration for Richmond supporters for once.

Essendon are officially in ninth so that cant happen.

Would be topped by Richmond being kicked out by ninth. Their new logo for 2014 would be

Richmond - be ninth, or be beaten by ninth.

Still not getting it are you, Essendon have officially finished ninth for 2013, Richmond will not be playing the ninth placed team we will be playing the tenth placed team...it's really not that difficult, the AFL it seems have saved the Tigers from this anomaly.

well you better beat them this weekend then?

 

[FyfesBoot]

If it was any more irony, it'd rust.

 

[Humdinger]

Funny as!

 

[invinciBlues]

Gonna be even funnier when we bundle them out of September

Depends if Brock came up from his injury or not...

I'm backing us in by 43 points regardless of who's named for our squad. Call up the Bullants for all I care.

 

[Greggy]

We're playing the 8th team if we beat Essendon, Essendon are officially 9th. But we will be playing the 9th best team, which is a huge win for us.

I know, I was just touching on the fact Brocky loves playing the Tiges How awesome would it be if he was BOG in a final against 'em.

You guys are a decent chance to take the pies on Sunday. It's gonna be a cracking game.
