      So does north winning now mean we finish 8th in terms of draft picks and draw next year?

        Pick 11 before compo's to anyone. Middle tier in draw challenges.

            Silver lining, yep.

                No, North would have finished the season 8th. As it stands, we will finish 8th, Tigers 7th.

                  Football for me is over for a few months. Being an atheist I think of it being akin to a highly religious person getting an email saying: "God has gone on holiday and will NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS."

                    Wow that was a dreadful performance by Richmond's senior players today. Cotchin, Deledio and Chaplin especially were liabilities. For them to be smashed by almost 40 in CP's is a savage indictment on their willingness to get down and dirty, especially considering Norf laid far more tackles. Richmond really are at the crossroads.

                        At least we can say we aren't Richmond.

                        That must really, really hurt them. Cotchin especially with just 9 touches, Riewoldt looked devastated too. Footy's a cruel game for some of us.

                          Old man KB said the tiges were the second best team in it a while back
                          Clearly a seniors moment.
                          Cotchin Deledio and their senior players were pathetic.
                          I thought leaving Batchelor on Waite for to long was costly, but North just had to much grunt for the tiges.
                          Honestly that first half of last week showed North had Richmonds measure, and added in the " Deer in the headlights" look about the Tiges after half time, it's not surprising they got rolled .
                          Fair play to Harvey ( a germ of a bloke ) he was pivotal in victory.
                          Massive question mark on Hardwick now

                            How a team with players like Batchelor, Grigg, Houli, Hunt, Lambert, Conca, McIntosh etc could ever be seriously considered a threat is beyond me.

                            They're like a poor man's version of the late 2000s St Kilda. Top dozen are good, the rest are just list cloggers.

                              Agree and when more than half of their top liners (Cotchin, Edwards, Ellis, Lids, etc) don't perform you get a performance like that.

                                I thought Martin was also very poor. May have got a bit of the footy but didn't impact the game at all.
