Seeing as we have 6 MCG games and one at Etihad in first 8 rounds that is putting real pressure on Dimma and the boys to perform early. Only 1 away game travelling to Perth. How many genuine wins can you see in this critical period? How many are needed to take pressure off Dimma?
Carlton - MCG - win
Coll - MCG - win
Crows - MCG - ? (Lost last year Rd 19)
WCE - DS - ? (Lost last year Rd 12)
Melb - MCG - win (But...lost last 2 years
Port Adel - MCG - win
Haw - MCG - ? (Past wins don't matter, still premiers)
Syd - MCG - win

Should expect 4 to 5 wins and Dimma needs 5 or 6 seeing as we have so many MCG games!

None there that we can't win. Hope we get off to a flyer when the draw favours us.
 
Think I could be content with 4 from 8 there, though 6 from 8 would be a cheerful result and get Dimma re-signed for another 2 years
 
Gee I could see us 1-7 . 1 win and Dimma under fire from every quarter.

I'm not very optimistic. I never am when it comes to Richmond.

I should be. 15, 11, 15 wins the last 3 years in the H&A season I should be more optimistic than what I'm showing. The last two years we have started poorly . I'm not sure how the start in 2013 was but for us to have aspirations of top 4 in 2016, we would need to be 7-1.

I guess we will find out more about this group and how Dimma coaches as he is yet to be signed(extension). This could play a part in seeing any debutants playing in the first 8 if the starts to this season mirrors the last couple. He will play his reliable team' to get those wins and extension.

We can win them all. Probably most concerned about Adelaide and WCE as we don't tend to play well against either WCE or any team with a 3 pronged tall attack (North and Adelaide mainly) as it means we need to play Batchelor on players much taller.

I would probably be happy with 5 wins out of those 8, we surely can't lose to bloody Melbourne 3 years on the bounce can we??
 
This year is the year we get our sh!t together. I expect to be 7 and 1. Top two this year.

Not so forthcoming as others. Collingwood are always hard to beat early on, Melbourne always fancies themselves against us, west coast at Perth is a hard task.
But saying that I will, be rapt at 8-0, happy T 6-2, not so happy at 4-4 and at 2-6 I will want sackings to take place.
I'm going with 5-3
 
If we aspire to be a top four team then anything less than 6-2 is not acceptable.
 
As a Tigers supporter then we simply win all eight n every other game we play in.
Trying to be logical before the season starts and allowing for the thought that well crap out in a game we are supposed to win. I'd expect us to be at five n three during this period to be reasonably comfortable.
Nightmares would be two n six, while happy camper would see us six n two.
I'll be grumping n thinking same old same old if we are only four n four, it's time we stepped ahead of the ledger early if we are to have any ambition of being a genuine finals capable top four side.
 
At 6-0 we'll extend Beavis's contract. At 6-2 the media and Beavis haters will decry the extension as foolish, too early and gutless.
