Throughout the 2004 season, Aussie Chris Greenway wrote his game predictions. They're all here! Round 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22

Richmond V Fremantle Rd 12 2004 Sunday 13/06/2004 MCG

After another spiritless showing and another thumping by the Roos the Crystal Ball has shut down in protest. If the players don't bother working why should it?

Ordinarily with Fremantle coming off two ordinary performances and travelling to Melbourne, playing on the MCG, a ground they generally need a map to find their way around, this would be a gimme for the Tigers. I can't see it this time. Aside from Brown and Richardson, maybe Kane Johnson, you'd be hard pressed to get anything better than a second round draft pick for the rest of the team in trade.

They have honestly forgotten how to play football, of course with a coach who is the most inept that I have ever seen helming Richmond why is that surprising?

The Dockers to sail to a win away from home and by plenty. At least every loss sees us closer to the end of the season and a couple of decent draft picks so we can start the rebuilding.
