We were getting on top in the 2nd when it was still dry.
Yep we smashed them in the dry in the second quarter. Should have been in front at half except for horrible misses from Castagna and Riewoldt.

Looks like QF1 at the G v Pricky's Cats is a definite.

The top 4 will all finish 16-6 next week. Brisbane v WC at the Gabba in QF2.


That’s why Simpson was so pissed that they lost - they were playing for a home QF which has most likely gone.

There is no team now that really worries me as long as we bring our game regardless of next week.

Looks like the top 8 is just about settled with the Chokers locked in 5th spot now.

They'd meet either the Dogs or the Bummers in the E1 final. Hopefully the Dogs.

Best thing is that week one will be laid out in front of us before we play. Geelong can't afford to drop their home game to Carlton or they'll probaably be headed interstate. West Coast can't afford to lose to Hawthorn or they'll miss the double chance.

So just imagine the FX of a solid win over the top team in the last H&A, after this turbulent round's results. I hope we go hard as hell, we can rest the week after. March was a long time ago.

Is Jon Anderson a Geelong supporter?

Interesting way of writing his comment in the Hun today stating that we're hoping to meet Geelong in QF so that it's a 'home' game for us.

Those apostrophes looked sarcastic.....

Is it just my Richmond goggles but did our game - both us and West Coast - look a level above the Geelong Brisbane game? We will see next weekend but if we play that way again next week Brisbane should not get close to us.

Huge result yesterday, Huge. Not only have we consolidated top 4, but we have denied our biggest threat a top 2 spot. While we need to make sure we're up for it on Sunday, Brisbane doesn't worry me at all. expecting a solid win.

still pumped from yesterday though. very stressful game and was doing a lot of fist pumping when the final siren went.

100%. was a pretty high quality game, despite the conditions.

Since the current final system, the premier has come from the top 3 positions on the ladder 18 times out of 19.

1st - won it 6 times
2nd - won it 6 times
3rd - won it 6 times
7th - won it once

Interestingly, the 4th place team has never won the premiership.

This shows two things:

1. One of the best teams during the year win the premiership almost all of the time.

2. There is a signficant home ground advantage/double chance in finishing Top 4.

I know teams can win it from the 5 to 8, but is such a small probability (less than 5% I reckon)

Huge games this week to establish the Top 4.

He certainly is; another Geelong media whinger.

He's had various digs at us throughout the year in that *smile* "super ladder" article that comes out on Sunday nights.

Strangely the Bulldogs would worry me the most. Should have beaten us round 23 last year and creamed us at Marvel this year.

In spite of winning 8 straight, would like a stronger percentage at this time of year.
Has pretty much forced us to have to win this week again despite winning 8 in a row to guarantee a top 4 spot & the all important double chance.
