what a load of absolute bollocks Claw..our supporters do not love mediocre players.Our supporters want what is best for the club.However they do not profess from mount Olympus like some do that their word is gospel

Mate i have had so many debates about Morris with our supporters it is stupid. The vast majority of them have all sung his praises.
Granted this site is a little different as it is one of the more honest ones. I wasn't just talking about footy forums or this site in particular so apologies.

Maybe i should have phrased it thus,  Too many of our supporters fall in love with mediocre players. 

Who thinks their opinion is more important than others??? . Not me. I voice an opinion and i go hard every time in trying to back that opinion up. In this case that opinion is Morris is  A BUM, should not have been given the contract he got and too many of our supporters back in mediocre players IMO of course..

It's the woefully run clubs fault, not the simple minded supporters who blindly support the unprofessional decisions made by the club with professional regularity.

Conca, Ellis, Grigg, Hunt, Morris, are all VFL players with a healthy relationship with the senior coach.
Chris Newman was carried for 3 years because the club felt he deserved to play finals....and lose. Lol.
Ivan brought a lot of the right stuff in his first two years but needs to relegated to second ruck but sadly Vickery or Griffiths are not up to it SO what do the club do?
They make a big play for another bloke who hasn't played much footy due to injury as both a junior and senior player. 
Whilst fractionally commendable it's more a. Embarrassment that the club has played finals three years running without a true first/second ruck.
The blueprint is old and the bandaids have fallen off the gaping wounds, exposing a team that is structurally unsound.
The window has closed.

Thats a pretty decent summation not a lot to argue with there. Only bit i disagree with is i dont think we have ever been in a premiership window since 1982.

What rubbish . Typical Claw ....no where to be seen while Richmond are on a 13 - 3 run ....now after a finals loss you are back to peddling your doom and gloom propaganda and other trollish behaviour.
I think the majority of supporters are hurting this year because unlike the past three decades Richmond showed they were good enough . Certainly good enough to be playing this weekend .

perhaps they are delusional ?

They showed they're good enough to Make finals. .

They have also showed us, Repeatedly, that they are nowhere near good enough to win A final.

On this alone the coach and several senior players should be cut.

Yep I used to think he was one of the only posters who would put forward his opinion in the good and bad days, but his form this year has been in the true form of some of our best Dr's

Yep. Continually surprised at how many people thought we were good enough this year to challenge. If we were good enough we wouldn't have gotten smashed by 35+ in contested ball in the biggest game of the year. This list is clearly not good enough.

What utter tripe. I have actually done what i said i would do. 
After many arguments with others, and a disgruntlement with the way things were being run i came out and said i would not be a regular poster on here any more.I also said i would pop in every now and then, something  that  i have done. This would be about the fourth time ive been on here since making those statements. If you think im lying go ask WP im sure he can confirm what ive said.
Am i going to become a regular again. NOT  LIKELY. I really cant be bothered putting up with posters like you.

Okay to your comments after haveing a crack at me.
Weren't the same supporters hurting last yr as well, and the year before that. Weren,t you flower sniffers  saying back then we are good enough.
Get your head out of the bright sun bud, it is scrambling your brain. We werent good enough to be playing this week the loss to nm proves it.  After finals we are officially 7th. hmm 18 sides that firmly makes us a middling side with out the ability to be better with the current list.In fact i am asking what real improvement has occured on field since 2012.

[Jackstar is back!!!]

I thought we would win the flag and took the 50-1 on offer early in season

While we continue to have to "worry" about Richmond is going to show up each week, then we won't win a flag or be real contenders

Our depth is still a major concern.

That's how I look at/see it.

Yes, starting round one next year we must go into games saying, we will win this and we do.

Forget 2016 unless they score four guns from somewhere.

Agree. Depth is a major worry. We were very fortunate with injuries this year. Agree attitude still a problem.

Our depth of Ttitude is an issue, I agree.

[big tone]

I'm going to back Steve in to be in our best 22 in 2016.
I think he is too competitive to just be a depth player and he is obviously a good leader and a great team man around the club.
We all know he has limited skill but what he lacks in that he more than makes up for in endeavour and toughness which if we are all honest with ourselves we have lacked for a long time.
DH tried him as a small forward this year and that didn't work but I still think there could be a spot as a run with player and also his old roll as a lock down small defender on the Betts types.
He needs to build his tank and maybe work on getting a bit more involved when we have the footy but I think he has talent and IMO those things can be worked on and are not as hard to achieve as trying to make someone tough or a better mark or kick.
I'd play him before Hunt for a start.
