Predict. How. Dimmas mates will do in the finals
Version 2015
Edit: how do you reckon the bottom tier will do updated edition
-
Massive question marks
-
I think Grigg Chaplin and Houli will do just fine. Newman may play well since its his real last crack at it.
-
Houli has been good this year. Defended more strongly and is up there with meters gained for the club each game. Grigg has also had a much better season and has improved his tackle numbers considerably. Chaplin has been solid and although turns the ball over on odd occasions, organizes the back six well. Newman has been the one we've carried for most of the year. He had an ok game recently but on the whole has not contributed.
If we lose in the finals it won't be because of these guys alone. It will be a collective team failure. Finals is where you really need your best rise to the top. Everybody else needs to play their role well.
Cotchin, Deledio, Martin and Jack have to have good games to put score board pressure on.
-

So with newman, you're relying on aged desperation for a good performance. Lol
The other three......dunno.
Chappy will either stand up or stuff us
Houli is as thick as two planks. Probs the thickest at the club.
Grigg - depends on if he has an opponent or not :snidegrin

im not relying on anything. I said he may play well since its his last real crack. Don't expect anything special from him and havent for the last 2 years
-
I reckon Grigg plays better when he tags, goes walkabout when downhill skiing.
Houli has always been suspect with decision making in big occasions (or moments in games)
Chappy is just slow, reckon he'll be exposed under finals pressure.
Newman is proof that our club still enables self indulged mediocrity....

well, they are four out of the starting 21 players. So thats a pretty significant percentage.
I agree if the team lose it will be a 'collective failure'
i would argue; September is where you really need your bottom six to stand up
in finals generally the guns always put in a decent performance for most sides
Rance, Cotchin, Deledio, Martin and Jack will probably have solid games. Cause they are good players and they generally play pretty ok. Its much harder to 'cover' the lesser guys not performing in big games, in front of big crowds, when things tighten up finals footy style

SEN reporting Newman was seen getting scans this morning but he says he'll be fit to play.
Can't be a good thing just the same....

If a player is on say $200K pa, does he get extra $ for every games he plays??

How times change ....I remember a time when Richmond was the joke of the AFL . Up until 2013 we had played in less final series than Fitzroy . Two finals campaigns in 31 years - seems unthinkable now.
But lets not let facts get in the way of a good old fashioned baking of players and coach." Dimmas mates"are obviously the reason why we are currently only 5th - not minor premiers.
Houli and Grigg - you came to the club the year after Richmond was described as the worst since Fitzroy. Since then the Tigers have only won 54 % of their games - not good enough boys
Chaplin - since you came to the club we have only won a paltry 63% of games .Although we havent missed the finals since you joined us - The back line is a complete shambles at the minute ...only the third tightest defence in the competition - completely unacceptable
The best thing I have heard in 2015 is that it is Newmans final year. Thank god. I dont give a flying frig that he is responsible for the players wearing the jumper with such pride. What an imposter.
Lets not forget the coach . Plays favorites with players clearly not in the best 22. He may of dropped Foley for the final back in 2013 ( after Axel played 20 games during the year) - but he clearly has no idea

Yeah six years mate
Meanwhile; the pies and the dogs have been up, gone down, on the up again
Saints seem to have turned it around in 12 months
With the draft, salary cap, that's the way it is. Meanwhile deledio and Maric and cranking on closer to 30. Time isn't going to wait - and slowly the premiership window closes as#TeamAfl expansion clubs reach their final form

Dunno I assume they get a salary.
And a match bonus for playing

Dropped his mate Morris after a pretty serviceable game last week. Last I heard was Morris will never be dropped because he is one of Dimma's lovers

Dropped for... Thomas?

How about we compare ourselves with other teams who were crap back in 2010.
Melbourne ? Brisbane ? Essendon are now going great.
Carlton not that long ago used to give us regular hidings.
Port couldn't make the finals 3 years in a row.
Collingwood are behaving in an old Richmond-esque manner of missing finals after looking certainties mid year.
Club is finally having sustained success - just need to start winning in September.

I like how, he says, he'll be fit to play as opposed to "available for selection "
His inclusion is a comical given.
Dimmers WORST and most damaging habit.

Don't disagree with anything you've posted but I'm not sure how directly it responds to the OP.
How do you think those 4 will perform in the finals?

True, but they sold their soul to get them. Do you realize they were a young premiership team in 2010. Came 2nd in 2011. They then sold their premiership players for draft picks. They could have snaffled another flag in that time if they had kept Mick and the players that played for him.
Sure they might win one with their top picks sometime in the future but they are a long way from that now and it is no guarantee. They could have done a Hawthorn and added to their 2010/11 stocks instead.....

Those teams u speak of have tapered off. We haven't endured sustained success,mate.
Pull your head out.
If anything, we've managed to STAY a middle of the ladder team while the others, through attempting to improve have fatltered.
We're still entering finals as a bottom four teaam and it remains to be seen if they
Can even win one final let alone all.

Can richmond tiger win the gf in 2016
Can they do it with:
* grigg on the ground
* ^^ Chaplin
* Houli in the backline
* Hampson as the #2 ruck, with the sub rule removed

Good point
But trelor penders swan is an ok top group
And now they hae a large number of high draft picks another preseason bigger
Will we be able to stay above collingwood? Geelong? Port?
:gotigers

Imo Collingwood had the guts to take a step backwards knowing the window they had was limited. Also knowing clubs like GWS and GCS would at some stage in the not too distant future start to dominate.
Have a look at their 2010 premiership team it was never ever going to be a dynasty.They eked out a premiership with what talent they had all credit to Malthouse, but they knew it was not going to be good enough and unlike us made hard decisions. unlike us prepared to take a couple of steps backwards to give themselves a good chance at building a possible dynasty.
Yep it is almost a certainty imo that they zoom past us next year. Yep they showed heaps of courage in turning over a premiership side while us at richmond steadfastly persevere with blokes who will take us no further than middling.
-
Agreed
Reminds me of hawthorn 2003/2004
Takes some pain in the short term, to win four flags in the future
The anti Geez of te Wallace / hardwick methods
-
Look at the quality of their expendables compared to ours and the returns they got. Yes credit to them but coming from so far back we don't have the similar talent
