Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
in hindsight though better off picking kids from last years draft then having to delist the likes of raines at end of the season and picking from an even shallower draft this year.

Wait an extra year and we may have delisted him for nothing in return just as we've done with others in the past holding onto them too long until their trade value is zero. Hopefully we are able to trade again for more picks this year.
The umps are sure looking after the Pies tonight. The Lions had all the momentum in the 2nd quarter and 3 umpiring decisions in favour of the Pies within a minute kill if off. I like to know how the Pies got a free and 50m when Harry O shoved his forearm in Brown's face on the fence. Hard to see anyone getting near Geelong again. Saints can't win it without cry baby and the Dogs last night looked slow and a shadow of their usual selves making basic skill errors by foot.
Add the Pies to that list. Doesn't matter how the media pump them up on the evidence of tonight they are the best second placed team in history. Geelong the favourites have their measure and the Saints have their measure too. Another loss by the Pies. Could not happen to a nicer side.

Especially as they led for most of the match. Col E Wobbles is alive and well. The last two weeks are tantamount proof of this.

The Kangaroos are terrible. No wonder everyone they chased turned down their coaching job.They've got a lot of players in the side that are cancerous. Wells, Pratt, Firritto, Hale, Thomas...They keep persisting with Hale as full forward, I say pee him off and try Tarrant (if fit) or Aaron Black. They have no flair, their games are awful to watch. They need a big clean out and to force Harvey into retirement.
Yep North have the same old core of 25+ year olds yet they are still bottom 4. Eight of them played on Sunday. Hard to see any of them still be around when North could be any good again except possibly the ruckman McIntosh.32: Harvey 29: Jones, Harding 28: Rawlings27: Petrie, Pratt, Firrito26: Edwards, Hale25: McIntosh, Wells North may get a few more cheap wins than us in the next two years relying on these older players who will take them nowhere. However, we are already doing the hard yards playing virtually a 23 y.o. and under side every week and getting games into our cubs across the park.

Jones and Harding in and out of the team, i'm sorry, but if you're 26+ years old and are not a regular, you're no use anymore. The only real quality there is Petrie and McIntosh. Wells always disappoints. The rest are VFL quality.

Agree wayne that core is shocking and North need a major cleanout. The problem is Scott came in saying North didn't need to rebuild or bottom out. I think Scott is learning the hard way how far away his list is.Add to that that off-field poor crowds and falling membership after that one-year sympathy spike and North's future is looking crook.
