If they aimed to finish last they would finish .9th.

Just sayin....

Finishing last gets you the 1st pick in the PSD which is a great way to get a star player for free. Richmond should be ruthless and start shafting opposition clubs.

I like this idea but don't think we should be tanking
“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.

As I have said previously, we don't need to stop trying to win. That is wrong.

We need to play all our youngsters and rest our injured senior players and the results will fall accordingly.

If the youngsters start winning games that would actually be better.  They will show they are actually better than the older guys!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Looks like we might finish last by accident.

I always worry when you like my ideas HRT.  ;D  Lastly who wouldnt want to get Nathan Fyfe for free. Everyone would. We should shaft Fremantle if we can.

We ve got a war chest and plenty of room in the cap, we ll be able to exploit that advantage at psd provided we finish bottom 4, the way things are panning out that's likely  :shh

agree. must keep good structure and some experience though so the kids have some sort of chance of showing off their potential.
rotate em thru  and play em all. every junior if fit could have at least 3 4 games behind them  some who go well more.

Just did my ladder predictor and we get the wooden spoon and first choice in both the national and preseason draft. Its gonna be their last chance to save the football club by bringing in quality players.

I thought the 2004 draft after we won the spoon was our last chance. 5 picks in the top 20 a new coach. They even made t-shirts RFC 1983-2004 I was there when we were Skata.
I thought then 2010 was there last chance. The coach said he would not deviate from the path that leads to success and will not cut corners in rebuilding the side and that even if he doesn't coach the flag it will be the side that he moulds that will be the gravy train of success for that incoming coach.

Now Ramps your telling me a spoon this year and its our last chance. I'm disturbed. Too much de ja vu for my liking. This club has had more chances at getting it right than Wile E Coyote catching the Roadrunner. When it comes to the RFC I'm passed logic and reasoning.I just wanna take the pee out of these failures for my own satisfaction.;D
