I agree but to say players don't have any say nor can't decide , Sydney and Roos would say otherwise

With respect you are comparing an apple to a watermelon

The Sydney scenario was very different to way is going on here

There was one thing that influenced up in Sydney that has no impact here and that's needing to make sure they stayed relevant in what was at the time a one team town. They needed to keep fans and sponsors on side. There was a course a massive media push as well.

Despite what the media likes to think theyvwill have zero influence here.

It was fortunate for Sydney that the Roos situation worked. Imagine where they'd be if it hadn't

In the Tigers' situation the players might be asked for feedback but ultimately they will have no say on who gets the gig and nor should they

I understand what your saying , but my point was the players picked the coach , so it can happen... I'm pretty sure when they interview all prospective coaches they will also interview all the players also.
I don't care who they pick, as long as they pick the right one

Haha "Hi Maurice, welcome to your interview about the next coach. Who is your pick"

Diocletian will coach next year and you'll be assistant.. you both seem to know it all

Lol

Bloody ordinary for a huge chunk of the game.
Worked into it second half but was nothing special.

Hopper got us going in that early 3rd quarter blitz. Won about 3 centre clearances in a row IIRC.

25 disposals (9k, 16h, 7c, 18u, 72% eff.)
2 marks
7 tackles
7 clearances (5 centre clearances)
3 inside 50s
217 metres gained
1 intercept
6 score involvements
2 goal assists
76% time on ground.

Thought he was awesome in the contest

JACOB HOPPER (RICHMOND): B-

It has been a solid rather than spectacular year for Hopper, who hasn’t had a true breakout game and has only three 100-ranking point games averaging 4.6 clearances and 22 possessions (53 per cent kick efficiency).

But Richmond keeps rising up the ladder and the trade turns into pick 10 and 31 (with 53 and 63 back) it looks much better given Richmond at one stage was handing over this year’s top five pick.

Perfect description Ralphy. I'm not overly convinced he was the right play just to finish 10th. That said to give up as it stands now, combined with academy/father sons and all the rest of the corruptness i would say its a descent deal at present.

Weak ass pee this bloke.

Same category as Pickett and Graham for me. Done absolutely sfa and I'm sure his numbers aren't certainly elite.

6 more years stuff me.

[camboon]

Wasn’t he injured tonight ,  got sub off with concussion
No sure he was worth what we paid for him but that’s a different debate

[georgies31]

We got our 👖 pulled down with this deal   .

Pickett isn't weak as pee . Probably our toughest player.  Re Pickett, he was playing damn great footy up until these charges that came. He has a lot going on in his mind and the club should have told him to take personal leave until the issues are dealt with. It's bloody obvious it has effected him
