I think 2019 should be an educational year for our club.
Games should be put into Collier Dawkins Ross Coleman Jones
Stack and Balta. Really focus on developing the next core group of players. Even the likes of Naish and the other young draftees
We need a real focus on development in 2019. I think this focus will help us compete strongly in 2020 and beyond.
-
We may be forced into it anyway with Rance injured and Jack possibly missing 2 months.
Geelong do it well, integrate the kids while playing finals.
Our guns are still young enough to challenge again, but pump games into the kids this year and contend again next year.
-
yep....not going to win many games this year...especially when between butler rioli castagna weller you only score ONE GOAL and a handful of tackles....
-
Jack to miss a month with an undisplaced fracture. No surgery needed.
-
I doubt very much that will be the RFC agenda
-
Were all not happy , but no way no we use this year as educational.If we don't make finals even with outs we have I will be dissatisfied.Simple Lynch is the main man now up forward and use Moore next to him rate this kid.Garth and Balta to come in to.
-

Thank goodness
-
people can dream all they want...fact is other clubs have worked us out....we didnt only lose yesterday cause of how pathetic we played but because of the tactics Collingwood implemented...
so unless Caracella can come up with something new...its back to the drawing board
-
It's a bit premature to be calling it the end right? The Bulldogs won the premiership from 7th from memory so making top 8 should still be on the agenda. I think this can be done while getting games into RCD, Garthwaite, stack and Balta.
It will be a rough 4 weeks as we have a hard start to the year but we should be getting winning streaks soon.
-
Think the goal should now be revised to "just make the finals and see what happens"... :shh
...reckon this season might be like '15 when we were 2 & 4 before Hardwick finally decided to bring in some kids for a few games and it freshened us up,,,,except hopefully this time he'll stick with them because they look a damn sight better than the likes of CEllis, Lennon, Arnott & McBean.. ..:shh :shh

The irony is Collingwood basically just played a similar gameplan to Hawthorn's premiership gameplan ....a gameplan we used to regularly defeat even when we weren't that good....:shh :shh :shh
-
i think back then we weren't as arrogant as we are these days and we respected the opposition's game plan and tried to counter it....where as these days i think the attitude is "stuff what they do, we'll just play our way...you know..."the Richmond way"
well it doesnt work if half of these muppets are going at 50%

I like a good premature capitulation

then youll enjoy the facial GWS are going to dish out
I like a good premature capitulation

I like a good premature capitulation
How many times we seen this over the years neph? Still remember when everyone wanted to sack Dusty over the chopstix and every loss had 17 new threads

Seems like Chuck17 has a few uncles that post here..... :shh

He's like a son to a lot of people. A son that is exactly the same age as me.

There is nothing wrong with putting games into our youngsters or focussing on their development. It will hold us in good stead going forward. We're not going to win the flag in 2019 so try I ng to win it in 2020 or 21 is a better option.
-
Lollllll the meltdowns are real
Pretty sure we lost games the last two years in similar fashion to teams worse than Collingwood and managed to do pretty well I’d say with a flag and a prelim.
We also covered the loss of jack last year for a few weeks by just bringing in another small and caddy playing as the full forward and now we have lynch.
The loss of rance is the main downer to come from all of this but I don’t see how they takes us from premiership favourites to bottom 4 like some people are making it out to be.
-
They can learn how to play finals and deal with adversity. Anything else is an absolute cop out. Tell me how dogs hawks, eagles and pies managed to play off in a GF or win one with an injury toll worse than ours
Gibson
Mitchell
Lake
Hodge
Clarkson
Treloar
De Goey
Elliot
Nik Nat
Gaff
Bob Murphy
Libba
McRae
Wallis
All players who missed large chunks of their teams foray into the GF
Hawks 2015 and Dogs 2016 were massive efforts if you asked me
It can be done if we are strong enough mentally. I personally think Hardwick went on about rance too long last week and should have shut it down after the game and moved on.
If we can't at least finish in the top 6 then IMO our list is simply not good enough as other clubs have proven it can be done
-
Well sais Frankie :clapping
-
If we don't make finals don't blame injuries that's still my focus anything less is failure.As people pointed out teams coped well with alot more injuries so cut out this crap educational year.
-
People underestimate the importance of Rance. Rance made Astbury and Grimes better players by just being in the side with them. People will soon understand how great a defender Rance is because his teammates in defence will be exposed to better players in opposition teams who will take advantage. The loss of Riewoldt for 4 to 6 is also a major setback. Dustin Martin hasnt fired a shot yet in 2019 and our smalls are not employing the pressure of the past. I think playing some kids would be good for the team.
-
So we are a one man team then ramps? If so we might as well start again
The onus is on the whole club to lift in his absence like every other club had to do.
-
our list IS good enough...BUT very very shallow and dysfunctional without 22 contributors each week
-
Ramps is wrong. Yes, Rance made Astbury better....to an extent. Not Grimes though. The back 6 has been a great unit with Rance the star of it. But it was an effort by all 6 to allow Rance to be what he was.
-
I reckon the heat needs to be more a bit on the coaching I have seen nothing to suggest we have tuned our gameplan or improved it without Lynch or with him.Seems like we a set in 2017 and not moving on it.

Agree! Sticking with 2017 structure and teams have caught on!

Wow people already saying season over. Quitters

If we dish up more of the same as we have so far this season over the next couple of weeks then we'll have no choice but to look at 2020.

Everything unfortunately is coming to pass. Ramps is wrong. Yes, Rance made Astbury better....to an extent. Not Grimes though. The back 6 has been a great unit with Rance the star of it. But it was an effort by all 6 to allow Rance to be what he was.
Not looking like that at the moment.

The old saying is if you're not a top 4 side genuinely challenging for the flag then you might as well be a bottom 4 side. Probably not the week to talk about playing for a high draft pick to gain access to a quality A-grade young ballwinning midfielder but we need more quality in the guts.

Cerra come on down in 2020

Don't know if we have the salary cap space to chase quality opposition players. Grigg and Houli retiring and Ellis going will free up some TPP but if we're going to have a poor season then we should use our early pick in the draft and go back to drafting and developing our own stars. Geelong after 2006 drafted Selwood and bounced back to win the flag.
-
you may be right now ramps.
Cotch done for 2 weeks with dusty, and short for 2 months
our season is officially over
shame we didnt win that flag last year as it looks like we wont win another one with this group, so only thing we should do is reload on the draft.
-
If we find 3 or 4 youngsters this year then 2019 will have been a success. We seemed to have found Sydney Stack and Noah Balta will be ok. Id like to see Jack Ross and RCD come in as midfield options and Callum Coleman Jones in as a forward ruck. Anything else would be a huge bonus.

2019 HAS been an educational year..... we’re learning how to lose
