Richmond has bowed out in the first week of the finals in each of the past three seasons, but are intent on cracking the top-four in 2016.
Richmond fitness chief Peter Burge said a heat camp in Cairns last month had put the squad on track to complete a solid summer campaign.
“The way the guys have come back from Christmas, some of the indicators we’ve looked at so far, there’s no doubt that the camp has given us a really good platform,” Burge said.

Cant afford to drop games to teams like Melbourne.

We couldn't afford to drop those games in 2014 and 2015. But we did lose. What makes this year any more important?

I won't be clapping anyone off if we lose to the Dees again .
But I will be on OER waiting for Claw ( who is in hiding like Luke Skywalker) to reappear .
Plus I'm sure Stalin will high jack every thread with his anti Grigg/Houli/Chapman/Hardwick/Peggy vitriol...which is always entertaining.

The heat camp.
It was so obvious.....

I know! Why didn't we do that last year??

What we need against Melbourne is, not for the players just to realise a top 4 spot is on the line, but for the stakes to be even higher - say a players 200th or a tribute game to a club legend. Surely the players would step up in that context and give their all
After all, they are apparently top blokes who would die for the jumper

What we really need is to have our best pre season ever and to burn up the track.

Stalin sounds like a good judge of character with those players/officials in his sights.

Keep em honest :clapping
Half of the happy clappers sense another mediocre year will result in us realists being proven right from 2-3 years ago. Hence the apparent softening over the last 2-3 months

And yet you call yourself a Richmond supporter - so by definition you also are a supporter of mediocrity or perhaps a Collingwood troll?

I call myself an aspirational supporter. You lot - recreational supporters. Remember your quote - 'don't get worked up by things you can't Control' or to that effect
we want success, you want whoever will be

What do you define as a mediocre year?
5-8th again and no finals wins? Or fall out of the 8.

Anything less than a flag would be an unmitigated disaster for the club and would require us to dig up Graeme Richmond and start again.
Just an aspiration.

Based on the generally common view of our list, we should be deep into finals as a minimum.

So what's your view of the list?
Our aspirations should match our own perceptions - not those of the common view or we might start listening to those in public life ;D

Not us, but losing Roughead for half the year is a significant loss for the Hawks despite their excellent record at covering for injuries. Roughy plays a number of roles for them. I still can't see Hawthorn not making the top 4 with their depth but there's usually been a club unexpectedly dropping out of the top 4 most years leaving a spot for a newcomer.
