NOW I'm starting to see a chopping block.(Insert smiley face here.)

I suggest you take a look at Goldmembers Banned List and reconsider.
I remember back in the seventies,there was a horse called "Like A Tiger".It used to place in WFA races and got the title of the best maiden performer in Australia.
Never bet maidens to win.
Not that Richmond are maidens,but I think they are way out of their class this time.
Of course,you said with the points in,so all that I've written don't apply.But stuffed if I'm rubbing out all that effort.
All those who think Richmond should be backed to win NOTE the above.
