These up and down results tell me the players of all teams are really struggling with the covid situation, the constant changes of schedule and venue.

On the plus side it means we might still steal a flag as other teams fall over!

it also adds weight to the 2020 premiership being the toughest in memory.

everyone played everyone once, most equitable draw in decades,

away from home, disruptions, Gabba

Geez you've got to love these high scoring 104 point games. Yet Chris Scott has the gall to blame Richmond for low scoring.
Didn't watch it but apparently it was an uncontested borefest. 262 marks...

On track to be comfortably the lowest-scoring Round 20 ever. Couple of Marvel games might be enough to rescue it from notoriety.

They regressed in 19 and have been abysmal in 20 and 21 the Eagles. Heat has to be on Simpson.

Geez I reckon we can still make it even if we drop 1 of these last 4.

and finishing order seems irrelevant, given we'll likely play Swans, Port or Brisbane .........

in Perth

8th will probably be no different to 5th

They have Melb and Bris still to play.

Agree, would love to win 4 but f we do drop one I reckon we'll still make it because Ess, Saints and GWS have a harder run home than us.

There will be crowds in Melbourne after next weeks North game. (RD22). How many allowed is anyones guess.
So, If we make finals and have to play swans it will be in Melbourne. Port would be in Adelaide and Lions in Brisbane "if the current outbreak subsides in the next few weeks.". Finals are still 5 weeks away with finals bye weekend.

They (the side) almost seem ambivalent to the last 2 seasons and readily chuck the toys outta the pram when things go against them.

They would have already packed it in had we beat them.

They made the 18 GF courtesy of home finals and got booted out in 19 by the Cats and the Figgies turfed em out on their home deck last year in the EF.

They need top 4 and home finals or they seemingly are not up for it.

Regardless of what happens there will be no Dusty. :(

Flag will go to the team that has the mental toughness to keep going no matter what circumstances they are faced with. just might be the Tiges again.

Can you imagine the uproar?
If we win another "tainted" flag .... again away from the G ... without Martin ... somebody else will have to win the Norm. They'll be running out of extenuating circumstances as to why Richmond won the flag.
What rule changes will they then bring in? "Teams with black and yellow in their colours can only have 17 on the field" ?

They must be the most underperforming team since their flag given the players they have.

Hardwick would have them primed for a 4 peat now if he was the coach.

Swans, Port and Tiges (all favourites) get up tomorrow and we are back in the 8. Building the team back up too!

Kennedy, Darling, Allen, NicNat, McGovern, Barrass, they have the talls.

Shuey, Yeo, Sheed, Gaff, Kelly, Redden, theyve got the mids.

Shepherd and Hurn are quality small defenders even tho Hurn is nearly finished and Hutchings is a handy tagger.

Then they've also got Ryan and Cripps as deadly smaller forwards.

Like the Tigers this season the drive and the passion is lacking, they've also had injuries.

Quality best 22 on the park no doubt but they dont have the bottle away from Optus.

We should've beaten them that loss was unforgiveable.

Baker Short George and Vlastuin all critical stupid arrogant mistakes and carelessness cost the match.
