We've had at least one draw every year for I don't know how many years now, but we haven't had one this year yet, there's been a heap of games going close to a draw lately (3 this weekend!) maybe this is the one???

Last year without a draw was 2004, with 2001, 1986, 1984, 1983, 1981, 1975, 1970, 1965, 1958, 1955, and 1949 the other years since WW2.

2 of the last 5 draws have come in Round 23 so can't give up hope!

I remember when Richmond and Port played one out on the final day of the season! Looks like it won't be today now, next two weeks though!

(The draw is at $51 for basically every game, someone should put money on a draw for every single game of the season that is left, guaranteed money right? ;))

When you look at the stats sheet you always felt if Geelong clicked into gear they would win.

Took them a while to do it. Would have been robbery if Richmond won.

Standard Richmond fade out this has been happening for a long time now and we keep giving games to players that find it to hard as soon as pressure is applied , nothing will change next year under this coach while he excepts these type of efforts and keeps giving these players games

Yeah, because the stat sheet decides who wins flowering games.

Geelong were terribly lazy for three quarters and were ridiculously inaccurate for a fair chunk of the game.

If you want to talk about robbery, let's talk about how there were at leats 5 missed calls in the space of about 3 mins that would have resulted in at least one or two Richmond goals which likely would have had an effect on the momentum of the game. Sure, we choked, gutless last quarter any Tigers supporter will admit, but to say it "would have been robbery if Richmond won" is just a flowering cheap shot and rubbing salt in the wound.

I saw the scores early and Geelong were getting smashed, then I saw the score at the end of the game. It sounds like an epic choke job.
