I take it Adelaide will be driven to the middle of nowhere blindfolded with the tiger theme song blaring in the bus

Well that went well.
Pretty much identical to the grand final scores.

No pressure on them whatsoever, players running loose everywhere. Also helps when none of their key players are out with injury.

Backing up on last years success and giving themselves a chance again this year

It will be interesting to see what of any competition announces itself over the coming few weeks, West Coast, Sydney and the Pies all have massive questions on them, and everyone else is in a state of flux.

Really poor year for the competition in terms of quality, Richmond deserve credit for seemingly cashing in their opportunity.

Collingwood have done extremely well considering all the injuries they have had. Might just to be too much for them to overcome now I would think.

They don't hand out premierships in July mate. They like to sort the men from the boys and that's why they make you wait until September. I think Richmond have been up for too long to make it last until the end of the year.

An injury or two or having to play a final interstate and Richmomd are done, their luck won't hold out until the end of the season,

They said that about us when we had all the injuries in 2016 going into finals.

So you don't think it's a reasonable defense of their flag given the sample size? Never said they're going to win it but they're certainly at least giving themselves a chance to be in the mix.

A chance to be in the mix ? They already are in the mix. They will be in the top 4 at the end of the year.

No, I don't think they are a legitimate premiership team. They were lucky like Steven Bradbury in that teams collapsed in front of them.

When they win away from the MCG with some injuries and the ruling body change rules to bring them to heel then I will concede they have acheived something. Until then Richmomd are just feasting on soft kills with a cheer squad AFL egging them on and making it oh so easy for them. They have acheived very little.

I don't think you can use the Bradbury excuse given they have back up last years success so well this year. It's not like there has been a divine parting of the season for them over 2 years. They're a top 4 side this year no matter what.

They won't have to

I know you are talking finals.

Next week they play GWS at Spotless, should tell us alot about both teams.

They haven't beaten us at the MCG since 2012
