Or it could just be the status quo.
We are going up against a team that we haven't beaten since 2013. That team has won the premiership 3 times since then, and we have won the wooden spoon a few times.
They have become a bogey team for us. We have a few under an injury cloud, and they should account for us reasonably quickly.
They currently still have the bones of a premiership outfit, and we are coming up from a low base with a new coach, and a bunch of new players.
Can we win? yes.
Should we win? I don't know.
Are the pundits right for expecting Richmond to account fur us? Probably.
Do they expect us to show remarkable improvement? YES. That doesnt mean we should win though.
