How unlucky have Richmond and Melbourne been this year??

They have gotten so close for the past three or four weeks and are bound to win one. I think that Melbourne will be first off the blocks with a one point loss to kangaroos and richmond losing with a bad hands in the back decision. Of course at least one of the sides has to win a game when they play each other ;)

Round 12 Richmond plays Melbourne. Either one wins and gets 4 points or they both get 2 points with a draw. Melbourne will beat Richmond because they have the better coach. To think Sydney nearly signed that loser Wallace but had the sense to take Paul Roos.

I love Richmond and well Melobourne surprised me. I think they should win a few games...sooner or later. 1 of them will at least win 1 game when they vs each other...unless its a draw...that would be bad.

I think they will be premiership teams in a few more years. Eagles and Swans and all the other teams have had their fair share of time on the bottmom half of the ladder before winning a premiership. Soon they will be thye top and the top teams will be at the bottom.

Untill then GO EAGLES!!

Richmond are due for a win and Melbourne too . I feel so sorry for them they give it all they got but nothing in the end. They should have a couple of wins this season.

I know , but Melbourne just won by 17 points against Adelaide today and Richmond are getting closer and closer to a win.

I don't think they have been unlucky. Even though Melbourne have lost a lot of close games the better side won every time and the only people they can blame are themselves.

I think they will win a game one of them when it's Richmond vs. Melbourne.

I agree with above answer. No team can be "unlucky" nine times in a row. They lose because they're not up to standard. I hope they draw when they play against each other.

Richmond should have beaten Essendon. Poor Richo, I hope that new rule gets taken out, I don't like it, the players don't like it and its making our wonderful game like soccer!

I think Richmond will beat the lyons ...

I cant believe where they are , esp since they rebuilt from about 2002
