swap the two freo games and the equation stays the same.

you all have jumped the gun on adelaide imo.

you flogged geelong, carlton, GWS and Gold Coast.

really does that justify the status of being top 2 material??

Don't know about Top 2, but Top 4 is definitely a possibility when you look at their remaining games. They have one of the more softer draws of the Top 8 teams.

I think most of those games you have as 50/50 are probably more like 75/25 to Richmond (at worst) - Brisbane and the Bulldogs are rubbish, and North isn't going much better...

I'd also think the Saints game is 50/50 (certaintly not a guaranteed loss). And they are a sneaky chance against Carlton, though I'd probably pencil that in as a loss atm.

So with that, I could see them getting 12-13 - but I guess they could just as easily miss.

Agreed Matt(Yes, another Tiger fan). The tigers midfield still needs to prove one thing above all, consistency... Cotchin I believe is the real deal, good to see him start a season reasonably fit for once, it shows. Look the tigers are looking very promising and it's hard not to get excited but long time Richmond fans(mysef, way to old) know all to well what can happen to a promising tigers team. To be honest I think one man has made a huge difference this year and what a bargain. The name, Ivan Maric. He has been a revolution for the tigers in the ruck and has won nearly all the duels to date or at least competed very well. Thanks to Adelaide for letting him go! Good to see a lively AFL discussion.

Cotchin is awesome but not elite yet. He is part of that growing group who atm seem to show a ton of belief at that club.

The midfielder that has become elite this year is Brent Stanton. Bombers have the best midfield IMO. I'm a Swans man but watched us go down to the Saints last week at Etihad with Molly sitting two rows behind me cheering

I'd love to see the Tigers become a consistent team, its about time footy needs it!

Um... yes? These two were two of the premiership favourites!

Here's the thing though - a lot of people had us in the top 8 assuming we'd lose 5/5 in this block. We've won 3/4 and should win this one... 4/5. That's not exactly jumping the gun - we have the softest draw!

I'm not saying we're one of the two best teams, which is why I don't think we'll win the flag. But we're a good team with an amazingly good draw - that equates to definite top 4, probable top 2.

Are Carlton in a bit of trouble now (in terms of even making finals)? Now sit at 6-4, but their next four games are Geelong, West Coast (subi), Collingwood and Hawthorn. Given they haven't looked the same since Murphy got injured, there is a very real risk they'll drop all of those and be 6-8... Would then need to probably win 6 of their final 8 games to make it.

Oh yeah were overrated!
We only just beat hawthorn and stkilda in the last two weeks! What about calling the bombers and blues overrated?
They lost to melbourne and port adelaide! who we beat!
No one backed us against hawthorn or st kilda, but we still won!
Yeah call us overrated!
