Round 19 Discussion

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.

I think Remi was saying that Richmond are a bottom of the top 8 team .ie. 5th - 8th.. They just don't have the consistency of performance of a Top 4 team.

Losing Delideo was massive, they are now 2-11 without him in recent times.

Bottom of the top 8, not bottom 8

An important distinction, and perfectly sums up where they are presently. Remi's statement was pretty close to the money for mine as they struggle to score, and so many in the media hype them up the first chance they get.

Last year they won in Perth and in Sydney, but completely capitulated in the first week of finals. The year prior they narrowly lost to Dockers in Perth then comfortably beat WCE a few weeks later, and also beat the Hawks. In the first week of the finals they accounted for themselves terribly and lost to a mediocre Carlton.

Until they put in a decent finals performance I'll be treating their prospects no differently than I have these past two years. I'm not saying they're incapable of taking another step forward, though I think people have dropped their strides a little too early when it comes to the Tigers.
