@kiwiinmelb I hear what you are saying but a key difference for me is Richmond were on the cusp for a couple of years (Ninethmond) whereas we've come very quickly from years at the bottom.
Don't get me wrong, I reckon we're a chance, even a good chance. But I would be more confident in 12 months.

I’m not sure any players in this team have finished 9th
that was a cliche from the 90s and early 2000s when it kept happening , but some jokes hang around.This team made finals 3 times before 17 , but 8-5 , were never a serious threat , but the experience was valuable.
I think both teams and supporters should go into this game with some confidence, that makes it a good contest
-
First two finals have been fizzers
-
I can't see how Brisbane supporters can't be brimming with confidence. Form team playing at home.
-
We're up and about!!!
-
4 goals 10. Fucking hell . We kick decent we're off to the races
On performance this weekend these are the 2 best teams
-
Ch7 and the Tiger army. Fucking he'll...
-
Richmond are the better side but shit they're getting some soft whistle
-
FUCK!!!
-
Had a feeling we'd do this in the third quarter if the Lions couldn't get a decent lead.
This is turning into a kicking clinic by Richmond.

5.12 does not win a final no matter what else you do

This is devastating

Getting taught a lesson tonight.
You’ll be better for the run.

I'm calling it a night. I'm too sad to watch the rest
Well done you Richmond guys, your team was brilliant tonight, just smashed us from quarter time on. Grimes at one end, and Dusty at the other too good for us. You'll be very hard to beat in your next two runs.
My main positive is Cam Raynor has been great, and could be made for September. Also that Hodge kid could be something great.

I think most Richmond supporters would’ve been feeling very relieved we were only 2 goals down at quarter time, realistically it should’ve been more. That was crucial.
From then on Richmond made adjustments to suit the ground and the matchups ,2nd quarter evened things up, 3rd quarter got on a massive roll , and it was game over.
Happy for grimes , been an unsung hero for Richmond for some time, but was mostly living in rance, the superstar defenders shadow , getting the recognition he deserves now.
Interesting, the last time dusty played as almost a full time forward was Brisbane last year. He kicked 6 then, The coaches must see something there . 18.4 was the most accurate goal kicking in a final ever , Brisbane at the other end were polar opposites.
Not all lost for them, I think they can beat gws and play in a prelim if they tidy a few things up.
So we have Geelong v west coast , winner faces Richmond.
Brisbane v gws , winner faces Collingwood. -
Danny Frawley died in a car crash

@kiwiinmelb shit. I shiver when I read about single car crashes and trees.

Holy shit!

Sad loss.
I joined the St Kilda cheer squad during the 80s when I was a young’un and would go down to Moorabbin mid-week to do the banner when we had home games. Sometimes the team would be training on the same night and they would come and hang out with the cheer squad.
Given the dark days the cheer squad wasn’t that big and we got to spend time with the players. Danny was the ultimate team man and always had time for us. He loved to have a laugh. Helped Plugger come out of his shell too.
Very memorable times and Danny was the man.
