The March to the finals- 2015.

. but I can assure you on one thing... I am 100% correct in regards to this. :hihi

Highly likely. Still unedifying though.

Bomber Thompson was just asked by Robbo 'Can richmond win the flag?' Without a moments hesitation he said 'Nup'. Robbo asked why, he said we don't have finals experience. Then went on to say how we haven't won a final since 95 and lost by 150 last year against Port.

I think Bombers honest answer would have been 'they can't win because i hate them'.

Thompson is bitter, slighty twisted and certainly discontent with his lot at the moment ... plus, there are those other ongoing issues that seem to cloud his judgement.

Ooooh, knowing the result before the event. Is that psycho or psychic? Never quite certain as I'm always getting my P's n Q's mixed up n confused.
Probably no surprise if we don't win the flag this year, but same as making finals last year from three n ten, until it's mathematically impossible, there's a slim chance to hang the hat on n grin about.

Playing interstate n winning against sides that have been regular finalists, fighting back from slow starts n over running other finals contenders means we must be doing something right. For now I'll enjoy the lead up games n worry about finals n flags when the time is right.

trousering $10m on that property deal doesn't make him happy?

We have 26 players with finals experience - only the veteran teams Hawthorn, North & Fremantle, plus Essendon have more.

Thompson also needs to do his homework, we did win a final in 2001 (granted it was a long time ago).

Surprising but number of finals games would be a better indicator?

I've got a feeling he's already provided it or similar in the past...

The stats would be more enlightening if they only counted wins.

[Tigerfan]

he might have been wrong about the facts but he's right that we can't win the GF.

Only reason I agree at the moment is because it will be played on the MCG where we currently stink.
Is it the tsunami of richmond fandom that creates a negative pressure?

 

[Tigerfan]

The coach is getting closer. My arithmetic shows him at 58-64-2 now, 47%

It's fairer to say we are 16/6 from our last 22 games.
