Richmond Rant / Re: Pass mark for 2026?
« Last post by Hard Roar Tiger on Today at 11:59:26 AM »
I just reread Crawski’s post and it makes no sense.

Until, 2022, they have not had any genuine stars from the draft since 2017 (LDU).
They’ve picked up 4x top 5 picks and one (Wardlow) is injury riddled and another (Duursma) already looks a bust.

They traded out of this years draft so by Craw’s own logic, they have picks 25 and 26 which will most likely be beyond the 30 threshold that Crawski has laid out.

Their captain wanted to leave in the off season so if his opinion is any guide, they are nowhere near it.

They are an unmitigated joke and their list rebuild is a mix of good top end talent, the odd decent 24-28 (really only Larkey) and a spread of older players looking for a decent cheque or extra year for their career.

In reality, their rebuild started 2 years ahead of ours and I would argue with Brown, Banks and hopefully Gibcus - we have a case that our rebuild has a more stable base than theirs.

The club who have done a great job in building a list is Freo - young talent on every line and upside to come. Just get a decent coach and I see them pressing in the next few years.

Why does Carlton get 7 primetime games in the first 16 rounds?  :huh3

They’re saying on the club website back to full training by end of Jan and match play in Feb. Pinch of salt and all that as we’ve heard it many times over but touch wood those estimations are correct.

It would be nice if this were stepped out with a little more detail. How do you go from full training to match play in a week or two? That actually sounds like it is the perfect way to do another injury unless the detail of the rehab shows how that scenario would play out

Dreamtime in Round 11.

-------------------------

Friday night doubleheaders in 2026 🥀

ROUND 11
Richmond v Essendon, MCG, 7.40pm
Fremantle v St Kilda, Optus Stadium, 8.30pm

https://www.afl.com.au/news/1452342/showdown-sydney-derby-headline-run-of-six-friday-night-double-headers

Yet again.... the "traditional" Dreamtime at the G is on a Friday to appease the broadcasters and this current TV rights deal

So much for the AFL guarantee marquee Saturday games would not be moved and be on FTA TV

Just another example of the AFL contempt for fans and the comp.

Flat out is the mantra at Richmond as Adem Yze's men look to train and play at full noise next season. The Tigers are being encouraged to chase success in a hurry.

Someone has done a 180 on Yze.

---------------

"He's just gone up in the aura rankings."

Kane is starting to become more impressed with Adem Yze.

Need more of him, Lalor, Smillie + our 2 picks this year in the midfield next year.

Atleast 1 of those 5 should always be in there. TT + Hopper + Prestia should never all be in there at the same time.

We were saying exactly the same thing at the game
Some have been saying it since Taranto and Hopper arrived.

Funny how McAuliffe is hardly ever mentioned. Reckon he has shown some great glimpses and thats through some injury adversity.
We have to be thinking timmy and sir slips a lot are on thin ice and Dion  past it.

We need mids and more mids and when we have have them unlike now we need them to stay fit so we can actually replace the plodders.
