Looks like I missed out on all the fun  :P

Very simple, make the finals. Win more games than you lose, anything esle is a failure, might as well finish on the bottom if you cant achieve that.
Been the same old same old for so long it aint funny,.
I will tell you this, dont make the finals and I will even consider standing for the board. laugh as you may. get rid of the morons
It's been the same old same old because supporters in the past especially those who have influence have demanded quick fix after quick fix and board change after board change which continually took us nowhere. Anyone who expected finals this year was always going to be disappointed. In fact they were deluded if they expected finals. However looking forward being ultra-competitive yet finishing 12th say would give us another top 5 pick to springboard off before the new teams decimate the next 5 drafts.

LOL ROFL LMAO @ Jackstar's dummy spit.

Is this a bi-annual event on this board? I've been posting here under a year and this is the second time I've seen him do this.

 :rollin
Come around at year end and you can see my annual dummy spit.
It's catharctic to chuck an internal wobble, have a rest for a month and return as if nothing else has happened hahaha!

PS:  Anyone like the psychology in that?  ;)

Why is everyone upset, the reality is we are shizen and we will finish closer to the bottom than to the 8. In many ways the closer to the bottom, the better. Richmond needs more quality, because if we get stranded near 10th then none of us will be seeing our side win anything for a long long time. We should screw the whole system and take our priority pick this year and get 2 out of the first 3 picks and 3 inside 20.

Actually the only ones getting themselves wound up and upset are the 'Chicken Littles' who don't see any improvement and hope for the future.  The vast majority of us are very comfortable with the plan in the place, the current position/performance of the club (off and on field), and the prospects for sustainable long term success in the future.  Whether that transpires to 4th, 8th or 12th this year this year is much less relevant than continuing to show improvement in all facets of our game - something this team of kids is doing in spades.  We already have the nucleus of a very good side and any draft picks from here on in will only bolster what is already going to happen.  We don't 'need' number 1 draft picks (although EVERY club would take them if offered) - we DO need smart picks that maintain and enhance our list structure going forward.  That will become much more crucial as we improve and all the successful sides of recent years have proven that to be the case.

you are kidding yourself we dont need number 1 picks. Your credibility was lost with that comment pal.

as for there being improvement in this team.
I do see improvement dont worry about that, but i just dont understand some of there recruiting decisions like Mcmahon.


I am glad that TW finally seen the light and realised that Petts will not assist us in making the finals.

I'm chuffed you consider I had credibility left to lose young Daniel.

Geelong didn't NEED #1 draft picks win a flag.  West Coast didn't NEED #1 draft picks to win a flag.  Sydney didn't NEED #1 draft picks to win a flag.  Port Adelaide didn't NEED #1 draft picks to win a flag.  Brisbane didn't NEED #1 draft picks to win a flag.  Of these 5 teams that have won every flag since 2001 the only #1 draft pick to play was Des Headland, hardly a key player and someone who made zero difference to his team winning the flag.

What they all needed was to draft players that maintained the balance and structure of their lists to cope with the requirements of where each particular list was at the time.  This means getting the mix of shorts, talls, insides, outsides, youngs and olds, right and then keeping that list performing at their optimum for the best possible crack when that chance came.  They certainly helped build their respective lists with some higher draft picks but once they had the nucleus then the focus shifted to developing that list into a premiership candidate.  That is where we are today - we have the nucleus and are now starting to concentrate on developing our list into a threat - the ongoing improvement of the list can be done through smart drafting that doesn't necessitate #1 picks.  At this stage in our development it is far more important to learn how to win (or not lose as the case has been this year) than it is to tank.

Credibility?  Don't go there sister - I'm surprised you even knew how to spell the word.  And if you do see improvement as you say, then it would be an absolutely delightful change for us to hear some positive acknowledgement from you.

apology accepted. as i said credibility is non existent when you are concerned buddy.


go back and read my posts and then see if i am always negative.

i have praised the efforts of foley, richo, tambling, moore, will and even our captain all year.

i am not convinced on porn star, petts, greg miller and TW. is that a F.CUKIN CRIME?
apparently it is...
Mate i have supported the tigers since 1980 and have been a member for 9 years now so to say i bag everything associated with Richmond just confirms your credibility.

Everyone else involved with the club from steve wright down to the runner, im more than happy with just not convinced on the above 4 names i have mentioned...

Ok.  Credibility is your catchword so lets see how your's stacks up against your comments above.

Tambling:
16/2 - "our senior list is average at best and the new kids. well tambling has been the business long enough. either he puts out or go back to darwin reserves."
31/3 - "he was not our best mid yesterday are you kidding. not the worst, yes ill give u that but not our best.
15 possy's half a dozen clangers u do the math. he and others should be doing more."
31/3 - "mt you gotta be kidding yourself? tambo came to play. wtf???

he had 15 possy's and about 7 clangers. he is a waste of a draft pick lets be honest and apart from one quarter against the eagles last year he has done nothing but mope around feeling sorry for himself. in a time he should be doubting the critics all he does is enhance his reputation as one of the worst decisions any club has made at the draft table.

i aint making any more excuses for him anymore cause i just think he is plain crap and not up to it"
5/4 - "if u had to judge us on our recruiting, you say its been nothing short of pathetic. i see only one superstar and one really good player in the making.
foley and king.
lids was a given at pick 1 so i wont include him and tambling. look im sorry i dont see it yet. ill decide in 6 months time."

Johnson:
16/2 - "kane johnson is a bigger blight on our club than wallace, believe u me.
what a joke he is.     every time i watch that idiot i cringe cause he is so crap."
16/2 - the only 2 positives i can see that came out of last night is that i am one step closer to never seeing the 2 most embarrassing losers ever to be employed by the rfc.   johnson and wallace.
18/2 - "the likes of johnson, tuck, raines, jon, tivers, hyde will not get u into the finals and expecially not win u a flag, their delistings cant come sooner for me."
2/3 - "answer is simple. terry wallace, kane johnson, brian royal are weak as pis. and are bringing down the rest of the team with them."
4/8 - "nothing will please as more than to see us fight and win all 3 but i mean do u blame us for being negative toward this team when they are being lead by queen johnson"
7/3 - "this team is full of misfits like johnson, tivendale and to be honest i cant be stuffed mentioning anymore cause most of them r crap."
8/3 - "allright johnson is not that old but he is useless."
11/3 - "raines, johnson, JON, schulz he outs those useless idiots to shame."
23/3 - "good riddons johnson i hope we get rid of u"
7/4 - "ur wrong about johnson he is not a good player nor is he a good leader. he brings the club down to his level."
9/4 - "johnson is the most pathetic captain to ever lead an afl club. FACT!!"

Moore:
13/12 - "yeah na moore isnt in our best 22, not by a ,ong while. he has a lot of work to do that guy but he is young he may change"

So that's very brave Daniel.  Foley, Richo and Will are the only 3 you haven't bagged with a change of opinion (unstated) over Moore.  I could go on because it was a very enlightening exercise going back over your posts and seeing just how negative you actually are but it started to depress me and I'm sure the posters on here are bored enough with the constant negativity.

And as for an apology?  If you perceived my reply as an apology then I can only suggest you consider revisiting a few years at school - might also do wonders for your ability to use grammer and case in the correct context.

Ive always been a Tambling supporter. Johnson wont be playing when we are going for a flag, Moore still needs to cement his place.

Adding Natanui & Rich or Natanui & Hurley or Trengrove, would make us a much better premiership chance down the track thats all. For 15 weeks of tanking, I reckon the end result will provide big dividends later.

Problem is TW may think his job is at risk and therefore won't "tank".

Add to that - we don't need to tank and it will be prejudicial to the stage of development our kids (team) are in now.  The kids have a solid base of games and exposure, they will grow and improve naturally, they need to learn a winning attitude and winning capability.  No one player will make the difference to us now - we need to bring in players that will embrace our culture and enhance our structure/capability, and those players are sprinkled throughout every draft - we just need to get the choice right.
