Finals. Week 1.

Richmond won’t beat Collingwood. Of the three teams on that side of the draw, they’re the one I’d prefer us to play in the GF, if we get there. Geelong and West Coast can both negate our midfield. Richmond can’t. Happily, we don’t need to worry because the week’s rest will help to get Richmond over the line.

Were you around in 1980?
Trust, losing to RICH in a GF ain’t gonna be pretty, we won’t recover!

[Pies4shaw]

Yes, of course I was. I’ve seen every Grand Final loss since 1964. I don’t think it matters who you lose the Grand Final to, it’s hideous. One thing’s for certain, though - you can’t win it unless you’re in it, so you have to be willing to risk the possibility of failure.

^ Imagine beating Richmond in a Grand Final.

We would all be on cloud nine!

You will get no disagreement from me, there, buzzlightyear. Still, even the losses are probably better than being Melbourne since 1964, Carlton since 1995, St Kilda since 1966 etc etc.
