ttime, be hard to find anyone who didn't think terry was gone but if you sack him now who is going to step in? doesn't seem to be much confidence in king or campbell, so if sheeds won't mind the list then who will? part-time job for pagan? terry might be the best option until something better arrives. like the new board and the top 30 draft picks the tiger fairy is going to drop in the punt road mailbox next week. this season is terry's car crash i recon he's tried every trick he's got and come up with nothing, the media have no idea the fans are in the same boat and it seems the players too. time to put on a brave face and cheer the positives until the time is right to ring in the changes. maybe we could just take the rest of the season off and focus on basic skills training.
Good summary, nothing achieved by winning too many games if we won't make the finals. Last year we only won the games at the end of the year because we were panicked into it by the hysterical supporters spured on by the Richmond hating media.Other clubs moved into list management mid season, but we went flat out to finish ninth. I gree with Dermie TW should have really built the list through kids instead of trying to win in the first 2-3 years.
It must be like shooting ducks in a cage to the media. we all know including TW that he is not going to be coach next year includding Terry but along with the Richmond management stay strong and use this year to develop any of the kids when they are(half) ready to play. I will repect the management and coaches if they do the best for the club and not for their own short term gain ( Couragous if the do) like Shaw did for Collingwood when he couldn't make it.
If we win a few with kids, great but if we finish down the bottom with less than 4 wins , even greater, we will get a chance of a couple of picks in the top 20. If they use the picks for other clubs discards this time I will be very sad. Of course there will be the usual circus about tanking but our leaders should come out and say we are playing the kids in the best interest of our future and dont care if the jurnos team doesnt get a better pick.
We can only get out of this mess with level heads where people think with there heads and not there hearts which will be a real challenge for all at Tigerland as passion has always been our badge.
