Even though the whole preseason has been positive to date, Im a little underwhelmed and not expecting much this year. So far we're getting some glowing reviews of our praccy matches and its all doom and gloom for carlton - can see it doing a 180 come round 1 - it would just be so richmond

Nup don't want a bar of it. Don't expect to watch any games because we are always poo and always will be. What you can expect though is I'll be on this forum win, lose or draw to tell you how poo we are and be condescending if you disagree

Don't know if excited is the right word but....

I'm looking forward/anticipating the coming season for these reasons:

- The penny finally seems to have dropped with the board that the environment should be more supportive.
- this has flowed through to the coaching changes - Caracella, Clarke, Balme even Leppitsch.
- and has empowered senior players to take a more caring and involved attitude towards the playing list, particularly the youngsters.
- and has also flowed through to a changed attitude to and from the young players to be more confident.
- this, allied to a more positive game style (let them play), makes me think that we will be more enjoyable to watch.

Now I'm still nervous as to whether they'll all hold their nerve and some of the biggest problem areas (recruiting, list management, fitness, medical) have not been addressed BUT..
It looks like an improvement at last.

I was feeling blah all summer . Excitement level zero .

However our positive start to the season has refueled my enthusiasm.  Think Prestia , Caddy ,Nankervis and a more instintive game plan will make Richmond are far different proposition to the pathetic 2016 version.

I'm pumped and can't wait till round 1.

I'm a bit the same as you Matt, last year was the worst year of footy I've ever watched from us.
I just want to go back to the footy and enjoy what I'm watching. Now that may not also equate to wins every week but as long as it's exciting and they are heading in the right direction, I'm happy.

A far different proposition to last year in terms of game style and some personell. Its a more conducive style of play to being watched and entertained. So far.

As for them being a far different proposition in terms of success, that remains to be seen. The majority would say it wont be far different in this respect. Heres hoping though  :gotigers

I'm a little but not much. I still see our list as middling but we have an easy draw.  We ought to play finals but I will not be surprised one iota if the wheels fall off and Hardwick is gone by round 12.

Just the way we are taking the game on is exciting.
The first half last night was hard to watch but for a very different reasons than last year.
We were playing poo and wasting the footy but we were still fighting it out and kept ourselves close enough on the scoreboard to still be in the game.
Big tick so far for the club.
And I hope team selection is the same this week with tough calls on players that didn't play well. That will breed pressure on everyone to preform, and it's long overdue.
