If richmond lose and we win this week will he write a new article?
I wouldn't worry about Richmond. Whilst they have won more games than us, we have been the better team this year by far.
I qualify this by that fact that
1. Richmonds have relied on the golden oldies, their best players this year have been Richardson, Brown, Bowden, Johnson and Simmonds.
Deledi ando has been the best of the youngsters but I just can't rate a bloke who claimed in article this year that changing his hair style has made him play better footy

2. Terrible game plan. I watched the Tigers v Freo game and that game plan will never get them in the eight. They play a soft uncontested brand of football. Out of 130 marks on Saturday, 5 of them were contested. A CH10 commentator mentioned that they are also the highest kicking backwards team in the competion. Voss then stated that is not a record to be proud of.
3. Good on them for beating the Hawks but who have they relly beaten this year? When they have had the litmus test's for a finals berth ( Adelaide ) or to celebrate 150 years of yellow of bleak ( Carlron ) they have fallen way short. We had the slightest of chances of making the finals against Brisbane and still managed a great win. They were still in the hunt to make the eight and stuggled to beat the Pavlich-less Shockers.
4. Let's compare the backline Mcguane V Bower, Jamsison V Thurstfield, Moore V Thornton, Waite V Bowden, Newman V Scotland. I know which one I'd take.
5. Let's compare the youth
Our Players 20 or Under
Kreuzer, Gibbs, Austin, Browne, Anderson, Bower, Benjamin, Edwards, Grigg and Hampson
V Tigers 20 or under
Cotchin, Rance, Putt, Collins, Reiwoldt, Edwards and Connors
No contest there.
I aslo fing it suprising and alarming the Tigers have only had one new player to debut this year, Cothcin. We've had 5.
I think Sheehan is just trying to paint a rosy picture for the Tigers because for some reason he has fallen in love with the this season. He probably qualifies his article by saying he will have Carlton in his eight next year but then again that is contradicting his article

On Footy Classified they were talking about Richmond, with Archer pointing out they will finish NINTH for the 10th time in a row (obviously having a dig), Caro then argues, "but this was a good ninth."
I guess that's the life of a Richmond supporter, it's all about judging the Ninths.
