Interesting little grab from Plough's EOTT match report.
We’ve been beaten by a few teams in the competition at the moment who have got very experienced players, but are never going to win a premiership with those experienced players. You can go down a pathway like that where you’re winning games and you perhaps finish the perennial ninth that our club has done over a period of time, or you start a process and bring all these kids through together, where they’re actually a chance of having some real success. And, that’s the pathway we’re going down at the moment.

Oops, you can also add Sugar to that list

Worse, Tiv or Tuck didnt give a away two direct goals through bad kicks last weeks.
*Shakes Head*
-
put him on the injury list and bring him back thru the magoos.
His captaincy should have nothing to do with the fact his form is worthy of beong DROPPED.
-
Sugar has gone from being one of our best to one of our worst.
His clanger count is dreadful.
Must be close to getting a run at Coburg.

unfortunately he is captain so it doesn't look like its going to happen

I was thinking a similar thing last year magic, lo and behold he wins the b&f!

This is Terry spinning a positive story. Two years ago he was laughing at the Hawks doing the same thing.
I like Wallace. Think he is handling the current situation as well as anyone could. But I hope we don't see another backflip when our young guys are getting the odd touch up. Hope he sticks to this plan.

Why the stuff has it taken Terry an extra 2 yrs to realize this? Clarkson knew and acted on this straight away, while Terry went half-ars..d by still trying a few quick fixes and compromised building our list fully for the future. Still had his sights on the short-term and again, like Frawley, jepardised our long-term success. NOW he is finally taking no short-cuts, getting rid of the dead wood and using draft picks and finding good young talent to build a team that can challenge for the ultimate prize. TWO YEARS TOO LATE WALLACE.
GO TIGES!!!

Have a look at the list, it's full of kids ::)
-
I wouldn't be getting rid of Tuck, and I wouldn't say the Polack deal was bad either.
Polak has been really good for us, probably running 2nd in the BF behind Foley.
-
I don't think that because Johnson is captain he should be automatically exempt from being dropped, especially if his form is bad. A captain is supposed to lead by example. He is setting the wrong example.

I don't understand it either, he could have done it in the first season and not had any questions from Richmond supporters, no pressure, no talk of him being sacked, now in the third year he's copping the famous Richmond wrath. He has turned over a lot of players though, but he could have been a little more ruthless and traded some players who had value, but have now lost it.
-
Which begs the question Kent Kingsley ???
I would also keep Tuck, he is a hard nut and would be ok in a good side.
Johnson dropped for sure - send the kids a message Plough
-
Opposition clubs never thought most of our players had value though :P.

The Hawks financial position compared to the tigers was like chalk and cheese
The club needed some immediate success to help turn that around.

True Mopsy. And the Hawks list was more advanced as far as having a large number of players about to hit that peak middle-age bracket. Their list wasn't decimated and out of balance like ours was.

But Wallace has said from the moment he got to Richmond that we lacked a core group in the gae bracket of 23-25. Nothing much has changed on that front. We still don't have that group - we will in 3-4 years and they'll be OK I reckon

I reckon they'll be better than OK WP.
GO EDWARDS!!!

Yep I'd rather have Hughes or Schulz in the team at this point.

Hopefully Sarge learns that even if it's not your night that you've still got to offer a contest up forward. At least contribute in some way. Both he and Cleve were dropped after one bad game.

I'd be picking Hughes over Schultz. Schultz is lazy, needs to pick up his workload.
