The type of thread you see for a club like RIchmond.

My Bulgarian mate reckons we're gonna smash it.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

3/0/75 is a commitments to winning three flags by 2020,
So I'd say it's a fail

My word, the negativity in this thread!

I see no reason to expect less than a top 8 finish. We had a pretty flush second half of the year, saw some improvement out of guys we need improvement from in Lennon, Vickery and Vlastuin. Couldn't get Conca on the park, and he's in our top 10-15 bracket IMO which always helps. With more of C Ellis on the park hopefully this year I'm sufficiently optimistic.

If all we get is Yarran this off season, well, I might have hoped for more, but I still think if we get him right its a big in.

But, like the upcoming season of Game of Thrones, we'll just have to patiently wait it out for next season and hope our favourite characters don't get stabbed before the end....

Except for the ten teams above us that R better than Us, I can't think of any reasons why they wouldn't make the eight either.

hardwick will be sacked this time next year, waste of a year of crucial development as he tries to load up this off season

most likely 13 -18 rather than the 7 - 14 i have usually thought. So yes no longer a middling club but a bottom dweller.
Of course we have a trade period and nd to go thru so we may get lucky.

The brains trust will be happy with the following filling key roles again -

Hampson
Grigg
Bellis
