You're starting to ramble, I'm no sure I understand what your point is?

Of course Richmond are underrated, why wouldn't they be based on previous seasons and the the start to this season?

I never said Richmond won't be good in the future, or that they don't have some promising players. I disputed the notion that they have an 'elite' midfield at this point in time. That's not a knock on their players, but an assessment of where they are currently at.

Tigers fans have a huge reputation of getting ahead of themselves on the back of a couple of wins, a coaching change or a couple of draft picks. It's happened countless times previously, I think that's why people are skeptical every time a Tigers fan pipes up spreading the good news about a Tiger resurgence.

This isn't something new, but it always seems to end the same way - a 9th place finish and a September spent reliving the 'what ifs'.

I don't blame you for being excited and talking them up, but it's going to take more than a couple of wins to convince the majority of people that the Tigers are the real deal.

I don't think Richmond are underrated really, think most people now rate them as a borderline finals team. Which is what they. If anything they are being overrated - all this Tigers are coming stuff for a team battling to make the finals. They aren't premiership contenders yet...

They will be seriously scary in the future though, possibly starting from next year. Deledio, Martin and Cotchin will be a seriously good midfield, I think all will be among the elite of the AFL. They seem to be starting to piece together a solid defence to (which seemed to be their main issue the past few season), and with Riewoldt up and firing again, the forward line looks good.

The problem Richmond has, is their real window for challenging for a premiership (probably 2014 onwards) may well coincide with Gold Coast and GWS coming good. And with all their concessions, they are going to be pretty hard to stop...

Gold Coast aren't coming good any time soon... they screwed up their recruiting, big time. They don't really look any better than they did a year ago. GWS, on the other hand... they will be a force in a couple of years, no question there.

just like to say that i think after richmond has played great last few rounds and fremantle have played crap and even though its in melbourne i actually think Fremantle will win. Just like i think melbourne will beat collingwood (they always seem to have good games no matter how bad melbourne is doing)
