The only thing Richmond proved is that the Hawks have a fair way to go before they should be talking about challenging Geelong.


Don't know about that - "some way" to go maybe, but not a "fair way"

Geelong are great no question, but if you are going to take one performance against a lowly side and use it to judge where a team is at then what about the Cats only winning by 1 point against Freo?


Fair call, although i just saw a few worrying signs for the Hawks against Richmond. We really are very light on down back IMHO.

In a couple of years time they may make the finals but not at this stage.

In a couple of years.... I bet you can't tip what might happen in a couple of weeks.

Richmond's top end draft picks make no progress:

Deledio - where's he going?
Tambling - ditto.
Riewoldt - a work in........ ........ progress......

Check out Terry Wallace's win/loss ratio since 2000. Terry Wallace has taken a lot of money from AFL clubs for very little result in the last nine years.

That is why i said they MAY make the finals.......

Why do people always say North Melb when it comes to relocating and/or folding but Richmond and Melbourne rarely rate a mention despite poorer recent results.

Results are nothing to do with the relocation issue.Hawthorn made 8 Grand Finals in 9 years then had a Merger vote about 5 years later .

Would be interesting to compare the 3 clubs records since 1960.

I reckon North and Melbourne would happily take Richmonds 5 flags since 1960. :lol:

Well, Chuck - I agree that this result is on. I will be attending with the expectation of a keenly fought contest. About this time last year they gave then-mighty West Coast a big shake. If Richo fires up the faithful, there's the chance of a massive upset. :shock:

WRONG ANSWER MCFLY. You are now a member of the not so exclusive 'Predict Geelong's Downfall' club that now has thousands of members nationwide with numbers growing daily. Well, at least you won't be lonely ha ha
