The closest any team has come in this winning streak was 13 points by Hawthorn in round 3 this season
What will it take for any opposition to conquer the MCG speciallists ?
From observations you need an opposing team that can apply pressure , be highly skilled and very importantly be able to compete with Richmond in the second halfs , the only team capable of this standard , at present , is Norwood.
The best hope for someone else to win it this year is if Hawks finish 4th and somehow jag the win in the first final and it puts richmond on a course to a prelim in Perth. I dont think anyone else can beat them at the MCG. Of course this isnt going to happen because we are generally shit and will prove that today with a loss to Freo.
So yeah pretty much no chance at all that anyone else is winning it this year.
I think GWS are best equipped to give them a run on GF day
Think the best GF for build up and atmosphere would be Richmond and Collingwood.
Think the best GF for closeness of match would be Richmond and GWS.
If GWS are at full strength think they are the only team who could push the Tigers, but hard to see Richmond losing this year.
