I genuinely can not work out how some people have us finishing out side the top 6 with our draw. It's that soft...

Tell me about it, we play Melbourne, STK and GC twice... Yet we still finish 13th!?

Not seeing much love for JJK to win the Coleman either.
Even tho he would have won this year but for his crappy last few weeks.

13th (7wins) but on my count only one game from 11th and that really is about your measure? 9-14



Mailman the 2nd

Care there SR, Richmond have a good record vs Sydney recently at the MCG and have shown capable of handling Hawthorn as wel

Lol, we'll see ;)

I think Richmond will finish 5-7th and WCE 9-12.

West Coast and Adelaide are not as bad as people make them out to be.

Honestly I think the same goes for the Blues, just because we were overhyped at the start of last season people have such ridiculous expectations.

North are rated highly and they only lost two top teams by under two goals. We did exactly thr same except with Sydney and Collingwood the second time around.

We weren't going to be able to adopt Micks game plan straight away without fault. It takes time.

It's a tight comp though Nige. An easier fixture gives no garuntees. I think we will make the 8 for sure but when your trying to be top 6 it's very tough.

Collingwood vs Richmond is a 50/50
Richmond have belted hawthorn the last 2 times we have played so that could go either way
I think us against Geelong at the g is a 50/50 as well
Essendon at the g makes no difference who's home game it is that's also a 50/50
Confident We will beat both of Freo and Sydney at the g

North at etihad is actually the toughest game there for mine apart from Sydney at anz. North would be a different story at the g but they play etihad so well

Vinny

That is a very positive way to think, you can't say all those games are 50/50..

Which games aren't 50/50?

Vinny

I don't think Sydney or Essendon are 50/50. Maybe not Freo.

How is Richmond vs Essendon at the MCG not a 50/50? That is a complete toss of the coin for mine.
And Richmond vs Sydney in Sydney isn't a 50/50 but at the MCG I think we will beat them. We beat them comfortably there in their premiership year. Same for freo. They don't play the G well. I'm not even saying those games are 50/50 I think we will win them both lol

Vinny

You will drop one of them at least mate, you reckon out of all those games you listed you will win all of them?

I am not doubting that Richmond will be very good in 2014 just saying you will not win all of those.

Also, do you think you will beat Carlton? Honestly, haha.

Bolded games are the ones I reckon we're more likely to win than lose.
Italicised games are 50/50

All imo...

I said 50/50.. Lol that's not saying we will win them all but sydrox thinks we will lose all of those. I disagree. I think most them are 50/50
