I wasn't convinced Richmond were a real premiership threat untill last night. I thought people had forgotten of the thrashings they recieved when it mattered in last years finals. Impressive pre season form and that brilliant win over collingwood is enough evidence needed to show richmond are now up there with the likes of brisbane and essendon. The loss of premierships players Damien Hardwick and Dean Solomon easily make up the 13 goal difference between the Dons and the Tigers. When you throw in Richmond obviously improved 500% - look at the way they beat Collingwood - the Bombers have no hope at defeating the tigers! Now onto the premiers. Brisbane are destined to suffer from the dreaded premiership hangover - a noted 13 goal negative effect for sides going for back to back. Go Richmond! Go Richmond! The flag is theres for the taking! Sure, they looked average against Port last week - but who are Port? They certainly aint no powerhouse like the all mighty magpies!!!
