* Biggest change - getting the right top up players. Ethos change when he arrived at Punt Rd we decided to not trade first round picks. Now they have a specialist in Hartley to search for experienced players. The issue wasn't the up-talent as we know the kids like Cotch would develop into top players but the lack of depth and experience due to the misses at the draft years ago.
* Need Foley up and running. With Cotch, Lids as stars and Tucky it allows Foley to get out of the tag loop. Need him to play finals.
* Need Martin and Vickery to step up. Haven't done so in past 12 months.
* Depth still an issue. Griffiths, Astbury & Post - need two of those to come on. Likewise with smalls Conca, Ellis, Bathelor and White.
* Backline can be chopped up once it gets through their zone defence. Chaplin and Grimes important as genuine defenders.
* KPIs all in the top 6. However didn't have poise, experience and know-how to get the job done. Lost the unlosable games not just once but as we saw 3 weeks in a row.
* Ready for finals if Chaplin, Grimes, Vickery, Martin etc can become the players they can be.
* Barrett said we've heard that all before. Wallace said he never believed/mentioned finals before. This is the first time he genuinely beliefs Richmond can make it.
* Plough expects us to finish in the bottom-half of the top 8 (ie. 5th-8th).
