Yes. Here's hoping the umps go unnoticed on Saturday - as they should; and unlike that disgrace last year against Sydney.
Richmond are like Geelong and their reliance on Dangerwood. If Martin/Cotchin don't have very big games, cannot see any way they get close.
Richmond have basically got by on elite pressure acts, without having much of a list. If they can bring that on Saturday and Adelaide are 5-10% off their game, it could be a close one. Aside from Crows fans, most wouldn't realise Brodie Smith is just about the most crucial out the Crows could have. With McGovern out (Crows' best contested fwd mark) Rance likely moves to Jenkins, who he should nullify. That leaves Tex to stand-up and have a big one.
