Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game

[Thryleon]

you're kidding surely.

I'm calling a return to 9th-mond - and Dusty getting his just desserts early in the season (ditto that sniper Cotchin).

I wish I was joking.

Fact of the matter is, that you look at their list, how they played in 2017, and the fact that the main stumbling Richmond always had was itself and its lack of winning belief, and you have a very dangerous combination of factors.

They are young enough, experienced enough, and have the right amount of talent in the right places to mean they could very well go back to back.  The only other ingredient they need is a little bit of luck.

Ironically they are not that good, but I think the competition has never looked so even, and that you have a hard time splitting 1st to 12th.
