Deledio out for Rixhmond tonight. They just don't win without him so we can put a game between us and them tomorrow.

Adelaide Richmond frustrating match. Adelaide dominant (I50 25-11) but not converting.

26 points up at 3/4 time. Go the Crows.

Re: Round 19 Discussion

Should've been a 100 point pantsing, but they took 4% off them. So we've got that going us, which is nice.

But what an awful match to watch. Bring back Friday night Carlton

Re: Round 19 Discussion

Well well well talk about Richmond being a flag contender is just nonsense .
That was an 100 pt loss tonight, and they just don't score enough .
They're a bottom of the eight side, that unfortunately has to many media and fans who get well ahead of themselves .

Re: Round 19 Discussion

Harsh to call Richmond a bottom 8 side. They were horrible last night, but they have beaten Hawthorn, Sydney in Sydney and Freo in Perth this year.

Exactly. The Tigers are a pretty good side. They could cause an upset in the finals.

They are a more hardened battle unit than we are, in a final vs us, they would be comfortable favourites.

I wish our backline wasn't decimated this week, we so need the win.

And it just needs to be a win. After the Tigers loss it's not like we need a 30 or 40 point result although it might help us if the Swans have a loss.

Re: Round 19 Discussion

Remi is correct though Richmond struggle to score. If the 8 stays the same come the end of the round they will have the lowest points scored of any top 8 teams.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that but the Tigers are certainly very capable of knocking over the teams currently in the top 4. They might be the best equipped of all other sides to do so.
I wouldn't mind us playing them in the finals but I'm not sure too many teams in the 4 would be licking their lips.

Bottom of the top 8, not bottom 8
