It's good that she ended the year on a crock of poo

Yep. A pretty red bow tied around a giant wet turd that was our season.

Closure is awesome.

With potentially the worst draft ever coming and our failure to lurer anyone of any great note, other than maybe Yarran (who I'm actually really happy about getting) how do we make ground on the clubs in front of us?
We cannot even win a final??
Geelong will definitely pass us....
It won't be long before the new clubs pass us with shear wait of numbers with their early picks....

How can we turn this around?

How about we leave it up to the people who get the big dollars work this out..we can judge them at the end of 2016 on whether their call was right.Benny said the club is being brutal in assessing the 2015 season,lets see if this is the case

Is it inevitable Richmond will fail ?

Given the clubs comments directly and indirectly in recent times and last few years of decisions

 * Hampson is good enough to be the #2 ruckman for "18 months"

 * Grigg is good enough to be a best 18 player / mid / tagger for fyfe ablett types  :o

 * Chapin a key stoic pillar of defense


Dan Richardson.

 “We have two needs that we have identified — one a rebounding defender
and the other is an inside midfielder,”
If we can bring those two players in we’ll be quite happy.”
“Ideally we would have liked to have got an elite mid
 but that’s not going to happen.



It is the common view, in the nonrichmond football world we have five elite players. We also have a few up and comming good kids; Vlastuin, Miles, McBean etc. But so does everyone else.

My fear is can the 'good players', carry the weaker types over the course of a season and win a finals seies?

the players are behind the eight ball before the pig skin is even bounce IMHO

Both have had one good year, even Hinkley has had 2 good uns
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Nope, and trading coaches isn't the same as players.

We'll see how the dogs fare this season, I'm expecting them to not make the 8. The only current coaches I'd have take over from Dimma at the moment would maybe be Lyon, I rate Hinkley very highly (he came very close to being our coach all those years ago) but we could never have him as coach now. Adam Simpson is clearly a very competent coach, but he's got a list that can go all the way.

Dimma will be coaching next season and he's the man I would prefer at the healm until at least the start of next year.

And yet hes 0 - 3 (4) in the big dance. Not saying I dont rate him, but Ill reconsider my position on Dimma only after at least the start of next season.

Ross Lyon has taken "overall average lists" into Grand Finals.

You provide Ross Lyon with the list that is 100% during finals and he will win you a Premiership.

Not his fault Fyfe (broken fibula), Pavlich (calf), McPhalin (injured) weren't 100%.

Who thinks that?
Obviously Clarkson is currently the best coach. He may also be blessed with the best list so it is always hard to distinguish between the two.
