That is such an obvious rule to benefit the bigger clubs. I'm sure a libertarian could link this into a politcal argument.
Yeah that really made our season look bad. We lost to most of the top 8 teams by less than 2 goals. Geelong, West Coast, North Melbourne, Fremantle and Adelaide.
Another interesting thing about our year was we beat both the top 2 teams, Sydney and Hawthorn. Beat the hawks by 60 points and Sydney by some good amount too.
But then we lose to Gold Coast and just won against GWS and draw against Port Adelaide. The bottom 3 sides of the compitition.
I sincerly hope so colliric.
But I do understand others lack of optimism when it comes to this club, we're always just about to 'break through'.
A Richmond vs Collingwood grand final in 2013 would be epic.
I know! Agree 100%. How can we be using up so much of our cap! It’s the AFLPA (AFL Players Association) EBA (Enterprise Bargaining Agreement). It requires clubs to pay up to 95% of the Salary cap no matter what (or there abouts). It’s really fucking over clubs like Melbourne and Port Adelaide who have all this deadwood that they have to pay for.

If Richmond can stop losing games by less than Goal and actually grind those out as wins, Richmond could easily be top 8. The Richmond list is the best I’ve seen in a long time too. It’s very good. Dustin Martin and Robin Nahas were two truly exceptional draft picks.

Richmond will be close to the top 4 next year. Usually when a side busts a "Hoodoo" they do it in spectacular fashion, like the pies did in 1990, or Sydney at the MCG this year. Richmond look to me like Collingwood did in '01, finished 9th a few more lucky wins and we would have made it... Next season we were playing on the last Saturday in September... So it's not like a team hasn't done it before.
