Essendon has had one very good result this year in beating Carlton, one pretty good result in beating Nth, and unimpressive wins against Port and Gold Coast. Richmond have only had one win this year, but have faced tougher opposition overall. Except the Carlton match all their results have been good, even if it hasn't been reflected in the win column. Of course this depends on the assumption that Collingwood and Geelong are still good teams. <br /><br />The other factor that is working in Richmond's favour is that some of their bad results from 2011 are now starting to drop out of the rankings, whereas Essendon had more heavy losses in the second half of the season.Troy Wheatleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021214034890190625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653547980549919288.post-51267862068322655292012-04-23T10:03:24.850+10:002012-04-23T10:03:24.850+10:00Nice one 'Anonymous'...
