TANK TIME!
« on: April 24, 2016, 11:01:17 PM »
Season over ...

Play the kids ...

Trade B.Ellis, Griffiths anyone with some currency ...

Get a top 6 pick and pick a GUN HARD RUNNING Midfielder ...

Get a ruckman (Maric is horrible) ...

Sack Hardwick ...

Get a coach with a good attacking game plan ...

The first point is spot on and the reason some of us can see no success in the near future.

It's the perfect year for Richmond to tank.  We can get good draft picks with our first two picks .....

Oh, wait a minute ....

What did we give up for Yarran again?

.... Oh dear ...

Bah as soon as the pressure is off, we'll win 7-8 on the trot to finish in mid table mediocrity, then start the spin next preseason about the half step back we needed to have, rinse and repeat

They are wasting peoples time on this god forsaken planet.

Nor everyone has another 36 years on their clock to sit back and wait to win a flag, whilst Johnny Paycheck compromises any tangible rebuild in order to preserve his position.

Aside from finishing in the bottom 3 and gaining a top kid in the draft, there's not much point tanking with no more priority picks on offer these days. We blew that chance in 2009-10 and are paying for it now in terms of lack of quality and depth.

But it does allow for a much friendlier draw - playing bottom 4 teams twice is a massive advantage (if you don't belong there) and this will help a club like the Bombers next year
