IMO they are ripe for picking and apart from Walsh we will have our best team available. Be terribly disappointing to lose after the good preseason we have had and I reckon Voss would feel he needs a good start. 2013 is a long time between wins and we need to break that cycle, first up win be be a great confidence booster and could propel the team finals bound. Lose this and then drop a tough one vs the Dogs the following week and you are playing catchup for the season.
Or it could just be the status quo.
We are going up against a team that we haven't beaten since 2013. That team has won the premiership 3 times since then, and we have won the wooden spoon a few times.
They have become a bogey team for us. We have a few under an injury cloud, and they should account for us reasonably quickly.
They currently still have the bones of a premiership outfit, and we are coming up from a low base with a new coach, and a bunch of new players.
Can we win? yes.
Should we win? I don't know.
Are the pundits right for expecting Richmond to account fur us? Probably.
Do they expect us to show remarkable improvement? YES. That doesnt mean we should win though.
We can win and win well IMHO....
