Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
No doubt Pendlebury is a superstar who wins his own footy, incredible awareness and good skills but Thomas is still a frontrunner running forward of the play for the soft receive. It helps the Pies to have a core of 9 players 26 and over and 13 players who have 100+ games experience. Having Paul Hudson as an assistant coach wouldn't make a difference to that fact we have 9 guys 21 and under just 4 players with 100+ games experience. On the weekend the Pies had 2400 games experience between them and we had just 1400. 50 games per player difference is massive.
l'm not comparing Richmond to CollingwoodComparing how Collingwood breed youngsters to RichmondHudson moulded those 2 players and many others in the AFL & is the best man for the job teaching youngstersHas a great record Paul Hudson & if you dont think he makes a difference then your nuts
Hudson is only in his 2nd year as assistant coach at the Pies while they've been playing finals for the past 5 years. The Pies have only debuted 1 youngster this year so they aren't in teaching mode. Not picking on them for that as they are in full premiership tilt mode with a mostly mature side on top of the ladder.

Some of Collingwood players & some other current AFL players are the product from his coaching at TAC level & all of them have been successful players. l think thats a good record & someone the club should go after because he can get the best out of youngsters. Dont know where you got the " Only 2nd year as assistant coach at the Pies" from Paul Hudson will one day coach a AFL side & IMO will be successful
I'm not knocking his credentials nor saying he won't make a top senior AFL coach one day. However he walked into Collingwood two years ago when they were already a top 4 side before he arrived and they are playing a mostly mature side on the park so it's not as though he's an assistant coach to a team of kids. Nor did he turn the Pies around into a top 4 side. Malthouse deserves all the credit at Pieland.

Geelong is starting to hit their straps in time for the finals although Pods will be in a bit of trouble for the frontal head high bump on Gibbs. The Blues have totalled owned Brisbane though in the Henderson-Fev trade last year.
Can't even begin to tell you how enjoyable it was watching the Blues get pumped tonight. Loved it when Waite was slam-dunked head first into the turf.Pity the blow-out wasn't bigger. And pity it wasn't us.
