They played well in the 2nd half of the year...they could of made a mess of a few teams in the bottom of the eight....they also were competitive with 2 of the teams in the Top 3 drawing with the Bulldogs and beating the Hawks.
Here's hoping it's a NINTH with a bullet!!

Hmm...can't say I agree. Here are a few key opportunities a Top 8 side would have taken:
- Conceded three goals in the dying minutes to draw with the Dogs in Rd 5
- Flogged by 50 points by the Crows at the MCG in Rd 11 (and again by 60 in Rd 19)
- Beaten by Carlton by five goals in Rd 14
Just one of these games needed to be a win and they would be playing finals football. In fact, the Adelaide games were 8-pointers. If the Tigers won just ONE of those, they would have finished on 50 points while Adelaide would have finished on 48.
Don't get me wrong, the Tigers took a step up this season, but they shot themselves in the foot in key matches.

Very unlucky, particularly seeing as Collingwood made it with that heap of crap they have on the park!

The difference between the pies and Richmond is that the Pies can beat ANY team in the AFL on any given day, Richmond can't. As inconsistent as the pies are I can guarantee NO team would wish to play them in the finals, especially Geelong.

Yer 84pts funny

1 bad game after having 3 games in a row previous where they gave the opposition 50 point leads and ran them down...how convincing!

Dude, I was at 12 of Melbourne's games (huge Dees man) and I can safely say that having injuries was not an issue in the slightest. When you're a heap of crap, you're a heap of crap, plain and simple. Had a few bright spots with certain players but man if I could cull that list I'd have a field day!
enough said!
