PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

Before each season we must get hundreds of final eight predictions yet true to form, none of the supposed experts ever go out on a limb and elevate many bottom eight sides to make the final eight in the current year. If ever there was a case to treat those sage predictions with contempt, then this year would be the one.

(2006) 10th = 1st (2007)
12th =2nd
1st = 3rd
11th = 4th
14th = 5th
7th = 6th
4th = 7th
2nd = 8th

If the Kangas beat the Dogs and Sydney beat Hawthorn the overwhelming wooden spoon favourite would have made the 4, equalling damning would be the universal assumption that last years finalist Collingwood, was tipped for a bottom four finish.

Hopefully this provides Tiger supporters with some hope for the forthcoming season and highlights just how fickle expert opinion can be when making 6 month projections.
