Yeah, I agree. I have us finishing top two and choking in the prelim again.

The Eagles and Crows are in the Top 4, Geelong is sitting just outside the Top 8... has there been some kind of glitch in the matrix that has made me wake up in 2006?

I know one win aint a season matt!

Richmond is rapidly improving and we have one of the top midfields in the afl at the moment and jack riewoldt's confidence will be back after the excellent game against hawthorn! Jack now sits second in the coleman medal, and brett deledio and trent cotchin is amongst the top 5 in afl in disposals and dream team points!
Our players are performing now and we can only go up from here!

As for who we will replace in the top 8 at the end of the season, its to early to tell but I just know we will be there in september playing finals footy!
Dont continue to dwell on richmonds ugly past, its not fair give em a chance, Dont u look at stats, If deledio keeps goin the way he is goin, then he could have a crack at the brownlow!
Bet you did not expect adelaide to be where they are at the start of the season!

If u go for geelong then ur used to success!

You don't have one of the top midfields in the AFL, you have a young midfield in good form. I'm not saying the likes of Martin and Cotchin won't be stars in the future, but they are still only 50 and 70 game players. They're not going to play with the consistency required to be considered elite just yet.

Don't get me wrong, the Tiger's midfield will be good in the future, but the term 'one of the top midfields' is a phrase that gets bandied around a little too easily sometimes, especially on the back of a couple of good performances.

You can't really blame people for dwelling on Richmond's past. These kind of comments about 'how good they are going to be in the future' are thrown around every time they put a couple of wins together. Who remembers the fanfare surrounding the appointment of Terry Wallace as coach? He was supposed to be the saviour and how did that turn out? You can't even mention his name in the presence of a Tigers fan without them wanting to punch you in the face.

Delidio is playing well, but not Brownlow well. I think a certain G. Ablett and S. Pendlebury might have something to say about that.

I would love to see the Tigers play finals, think it would be great for footy to see them up and about again. It just won't be this year.

I'd be very very happy if this was 2006 repeated.

2005 was much more humerous.

Why? I see it but I don't believe it?

Leo Barry you star.

Ahh, the memories

Geelongs exit to Sydney in the 2005 finals was just as enjoyable. Helloooo Nick Davis :-p

That's what mllama was talking about, douche face.

Why not this year matt? WHY NOT?
Sure cotchin and martin are only 50-70 game players, but they are performing well now! Once again on the stats, dont just go by past and by how many games someone has played! u dont have to be a 200 gamer to be a good player! Cotchin has already been considered elite by some experts and martin is not far behind!
This morning in a press conference scott watters (st kilda coach) said richmond has the best midfield in the afl, and if not the best then close to it!
And enough about richmonds midfield being good in the future. We already are good its just that in the future we will be even better! Now were good enough to make finals and in the future we will be good enough to win the flag!
Im being serious matt, and its not just the midfield either! Last week rance shut down the best forward in the afl in buddy franklin, and he has only played between 50-70 games!

After all that give me one decent reason why richmond cannot make finals this year, one DECENT reason!
