RICHMOND
After consecutive finals appearances expect Ninthmond to return to their position just outside the eight this year. Last year’s late season winning streak was put in perspective by their elimination final flogging — this isn’t a finals-calibre team anymore.

This is what i was trying to say on the game thread.... with these players in our team (see below)...sorry but we definitely wont content a GF for a long time.. :-[

Batch
Morris
Conca
Edwards (although had a good NAB)
Lloyd
TY (not sure where it all went wrong)
Grigg
Newman
Foley

We are still 4-8 players away from a "team" IMO.

Not all of those will play but I agree with the sentiment. We dont have enough quality to really contend. That doesn't come overnight though.
