This team will win a premiership. Maybe not this year but In the next 2-5 years they will.

Although I didnāt do the footytips competition this year, I only had 5 right. (I accidentally tipped Carlton over Richmond!)
Bad round of injuries with three players out for the year after rupturing anterior cruciate ligament in Round 1: Richmondās Alex Rance, Adelaideās Tom Doedee and North Melbourneās Ed Vickers-Willis.

boss came into my office on friday and asked if i could go to the melbourne office this week. I had no issues with that so he booked me to go down Wed - Fri. I was hoping to stay until Sat night so i could go to a game of footy, only to check the fixture to see that Richmond is playing Collingwood on thursday night - so i def got a ticket for that. looking forward to it

This is great to see. There are huge issues around this area within the supporters of West Coast and it should have been something they stood for about 5 years ago. But this is a positive step.
Iād say itās more of an issue League-wide no matter which one of the 18 teams you barrack for, and has sadly been becoming more frequent in recent years across various player attacks and insults. This effort to make people aware and show it is not acceptable in any form is nice to see.

Yet it was a better game than at least 3 others, 2 of which were on national TV (Friday Night, Sunday Afternoon).
Really? I couldnāt watch the whole game I found the skill errors to be very poor! I also didnāt watch the whole of the GWS and Essendon game but at least one team in that game was good.
Pretty good odds for ladder leader after four rounds for Brisbane. I think they have a very good chance to go 4-0.
The Richmond v Collingwood match being played last night at the MCG was interesting. Following last yearās Preliminary Final loss to Collingwood, Richmond suffered another big loss to Collingwood at the MCG. Without Alex Rance (due to season-ending injury), the game was gone for Richmond. The Pies were in good form, and want to be more competitive this year following last yearās heartbreak to the West Coast in the Grand Final. Richmond could be out of top 2 but still be in hunt for top 4.
Scans this morning revealed Richmondās Jack Riewoldt has ruptured a ligament in his wrist and also has a small undisplaced fracture of his radius bone during last nightās match, and is set to miss four weeks. With Rance out for the season, and Houli and Riewoldt injured, the Tigers will struggle over the next two months but should still make the top eight.
Why we riding a team off after 2 games? There is still 20 more games to go.

WHat i am saying is that Richmond can falter during Anzac Eve when they face Melbourne and this is going to be a bit tough for Damien Hardwick and for the players.
They can but they could do the oppositeā¦ Donāt ride a team off after 2 games when they are 1-1. They were with the Pies most of the night. Its not like they lost by 10 goals.
This is similar to last year where Richmond were 1-1 after 2 rounds and then went on to win minor premiership. But what Iām saying is that they need more key players.
