Takeaways from Adem on #TalkingTigers

* Jonty Faull aiming to be available R3-R4.

* Trezise to continue playing on the wing.

* Spoke highly of Trainor & Armstrong. Expect them to play R1.

* Lefau not far off full training. Expects him to be the first to return.

* Gibcus still no timeframe for return. Back running, not far off joining in drills.

* Juddy Clarke training as a winger. Was going to join in match sim this wk, but hurt his hip flexor.

* Lynch & Lalor still tracking for R1. Lalor won’t play in the match sim tomorrow, will do running instead, as will Lynch. If he gets through the main session on Monday, then he is locked in. Same plan for Lynch.

If Trainor, Armstrong and Lalor debut next Thursday then that would give the fans something to watch.

I know we need to be cautious/patient, but we also need something to keep our interest and give us some hope this year.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I am as interested in the development of Sonsie, Brown, Banks and hopefully Gibcus as I am in the first year players
It is those players along with the fringe players Seth Campbell, Mansell and even Tresize that will determine how quickly we bounce back.

The first year players will hopefully show some signs this year but I am really looking for them to bounce in seasons 2028 and beyond.

Takeaways from Adem on #TalkingTigers

Those 3 debuting will be enough to keep me happy. Just have to ignore all the basic errors from our senior players.

Yze’s Yellow and Black blueprint

Richmond coach Adem Yze has revealed the way he wants the Tigers to play in the 2025 season.

“All the good teams play a front-half game. I think we’ve got a pretty potent midfield and, hopefully, we can have some dominance around stoppage. That gives you first opportunity to play front-half footy,” Yze said.

“We want to be really stable in defence. I’m going to preach to our players, irrelevant of who’s in the team, we play a team defence, and you’re one cog in that system.

“So, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be hard to play against on defence . . . really stable on defence, have a really potent offense and then we just need to change gears on offense.

“I think it’s been in our DNA at our footy club around playing fast. But when we did win premierships, the rules were a little bit different. You could play a spare behind the ball and just create counter-attack footy. But now with the 6-6-6, it’s hard to do that.

“We’ll have that part of our DNA that will come out in games, but at times we need to slow the game down and just possess the ball. So, we’re just trying to find a balance of both.”

Yze also defined what success looks like for the Tigers in 2025.

“Obviously when you’re going through an AFL season, there’s a win-loss column. So, that’s always going to be our focus, and we go into every game trying to win,” he said.

“We’re not going to put a ceiling on how many wins we’re going to try to come out of the season with. But for us this year, it’s going to be around growth.

“As a coach, you want to see growth in the way that you play, no matter what, whether you’ve won the premiership or not . . .

“We want to see growth all across our team . . . Whether it’s purely on offense, defence, stoppage, we want to see growth in all areas and all phases.

“And then we want to see growth with our players. They’re obviously going to get exposure because they’re young, and that takes time . . .

“We’ve got so many players that have played under 30 games that we’ve got to fast-track. Not only their exposure, but their development.

“So, the growth in each of our players needs to be individually, and then obviously as a team we want to see growth.

“We want to be competitive every week and be really hard to play against.”

Premiership teams the world over start from defence.
Feels like an Albanian Mattie Knights

So we'll have a negative W-L record but still make the 8? I'll take it. 

[Tigeritis™©®]

I'll be looking at our pressure, tackling technique and defensive work off the ball.

If it doesn't exist then that rests solely on the head coach.

And I'll be asking what he's been doing all off season.

‘I don’t need an aura’: Yze hits back at ‘unfair’ criticism

Adem Yze has hit back at suggestions he lacks the “aura” to be a success as Richmond coach and explained why content released by the club doesn’t paint a true picture of who he is.

he certainly lacks something.

It's not looking great so far, but its early days.

Apparently has lost huge parts of the playing group (won’t mention which player said this)

Started when he took down the photos and didn’t improve from there

The onfield “effort” and mass exodus last year would back this up

The photo thing really doesn't agree with me.

No reason you can't enjoy the glory without being complacent.

There were a lot of premiership players who contributed immensely to that trio of flags and if I was one of them I reckon I'd be annoyed.

I have herd the opposite that the younger group love him and his got a strong relationship.
I think last year we had a few senior players' with sour grapes in the senior group not pulling the same way checked out was clearly evident.

The players even agreed to taking it down no issue for me it's not like there been thrown away just relocated in another place. Very simple it's a new era and new team
If players not OK with that harden up
