TIGERS ‘THE MOST DISAPPOINTING LIST’ IN THE AFLLIST guru Chris Pelchen believes Richmond has the most underperforming list in the AFL.
The Tigers were under intense scrutiny for their poor form this year, and Pelchen believes this stems back to their drafting and trading strategy over the past few years.
“Ultimately this is probably the most disappointing list in the competition,” Pelchen told AFL Tonight.
“Their last six years of drafting and trading has been questionable. To be recycling players from opposition clubs that don’t come into the elite category is very dangerous.
“It’s all right when you’ve made the grand final, but they got ahead of themselves and I think they are still living under false pretence.
Pelchen also took a swipe at the club’s PR department.
“What they’ve delivered over the last few years compared to what they’ve spoken about, the mixed messages coming out of Punt Road have been enormous,” he said.
“I don’t say this lightly, they are basically an uncompetitive side around the footy. That flies in the face of their coach Damien Hardwick.
“This club has plenty of work to do. To hear them talking about finals next year is the wrong message. They really have to go hard at the national draft.”
