I dont think we are near good enough, but if pies can find their groove and get Howe back with Degoey, Treloar.. and maybe Langdon? Could they have a crack?

Well if you can't get over the third best team on your home ground when it matters, you're evidently not the best team - are you?
All the above nonsense you spelled out there just shows me that you have derived great benefit from finals being arbitrarily played at your home ground.
Absolutely.
With West Coast looking as though they miss the top 4, we avoid them in the final series and Collingwood have every reason to go in very confident against every other team in the top 8.
Might be worth taking the $19 on offer at the moment, because once we win our next two games we'll go into every finals game as favourite, despite finishing outside the top 4.
Nah, see the best team is dictated by finals results, except of course if Richmond happen to lose a final, then it is dictated by ladder position at the end of the home and away season.

Very confident? Given you haven't won a flag while in your window I'm surprised. I'd have you as the sixth seed at best.

I think we should only be discussing teams who have won 2+ flags in the last twenty years as contenders.
Sorry Pies fans
You've left out the two 2020 Grand Finalists - Port v. Collingwood.I think we should only be discussing teams who have won 2+ flags in the last twenty years as contenders.

That's what it is.
For the last 4 seasons, in the first half of the year, Richmond have at times looked ordinary. Sometimes a few injuries, a lot of disinterested players, don't seem really motivated, loss of form and so on. Will they even make finals? And if they do will they just be making up numbers for week 1?
But come the second half of the year they just pick up, play their game style and start winning.
Come finals they have been virtually unstoppable.

Still Geelong for me.
If by 'we' you mean Collingwood, I disagree. I have you winning against the GCS but losing to Port. If that happens it's likely WC finish 5th and Collingwood 8th. If so they will meet in Perth in finals week 1.
That's if you mean WC by 'them'. If you mean Richmond then with you in 8th, you meet them (Richmond) in a Prelim.

As a Collingwood supporter, I obviously refer to Collingwood when I say 'we'.
Given I mentioned West Coast, if I refer to 'them' in the same sentence, I'm clearly referring to West Coast.
Hope that makes sense.
BTW, your predictions aren't fact. So many permutations and combinations. Pies more likely to finish 6th or 7th rather than 8th.
Tigers have one hand on it already.
Port and Brissy the best chances of stopping them. Brissy will have a "coming of age" game at some point and get over a big team in a final, might aswell be this year when it's all in their state. Port have been top all year, deserve more respect.
Geelongs been my faves most the year but just can't shake the feeling they'll utensil it up in the finals.
Pies/Eagles if they get their numbers back and get on a run could cause trouble but not expecting alot from either.

Come off it - what an understatement

Tigers should win it from here. Port and Brisbane get two home finals surely one of them make the GF.

Did Richmond win some sort of competition after 2018 where you get to draw up your last two months worth of fixtures?

We're clearly in the box seat at the minute but you never know what might happen come finals - and we did lose to Port Adelaide this season already. Taking each week as it comes!

I think Richmond then Port then West Coast.
Can't see Brisbane or Geelong beating us in a final.
West Coast would have to get all their players back. But doesn't seem like they've had enough go right for them this year.
