Top 4 in 2014 or bust for this Richmond playing group: Wallace
« on: October 14, 2013, 05:28:48 PM »
Wallace on Trade Radio talking about the Tigers ...

@thelistmanager: "If Richmond doesn't make ground (on top teams) in 2014, it won't make ground with this playing group. Your thoughts?"

So we're not going to add to our list via the trade period and draft post-2014 season?  :huh

Personally I think we over achieved this year.
Top 4 is not a nasecity but making the finals again and winning at least one is the minimum step forward we need to take. We also need to start seeing major improvement in over half the list, Batch, Aystbury, Helbig, Dea, Griffiths and Elton all need to step it up a gear if we're going to go places on the next couple of years.

okay bents what has he got wrong and why. i reckon the general gist of what he says is correct. especially if this off season stays pretty similar to what it has.

last yr lots of top up players. this already traded out of the second round . the club already come out and said it wont be doing any more trades. we havent actually delisted anyone and we have had to date just one retiree, and one free agent walk.

atm the cklub is acting like it thinks we are locked and loaded. it may change over the next week and a bit who knows.

thing is if wallace actually believes we are top 4 then hes more deluded tahn hes ever been. if hes commenting on what we have done the last two yrs then hes probably entitled to think what hes said.

Personally I think we over achieved this year.

this is close to what i think. depending on what happens the rest of the trade and nd period and what transpires thru next yr injuries etc then even the top 8 is not a must.

of all the talls dave astbury is the one hes the most advanced imo  and we need arnot helbig dea all claiming permanent spots. we need elton mcbean and bloody hell griffiths to start earning games between them. we are going to need hampson to make a significant contribution and we will probably need pick 12 to do what our first rounders have done in recent times. will add mcintosh in the mix as well. really want to see him claim a hb role for himself.

Looking over the age demographic of our key players by round 1 - 2015

I don't understand why we won't be able to contend

 Hence plough splurting codwhollop - "or bust"
