Richmond vs Western Bulldogs @ MCG --- Round 9, 2024

[Francois Jackson]

Agree Sim. Some of these calling for changes were wetting themselves over Hopper. As a reault they now want to get rid of everyone and be like North.

Due to Meehan's incompetence Dusty like Jack last year is one of our leading men, when in reality they shouldn't have been.

Grines, Macca Baker, Graham see you later, and the rest kick on. We need to make some FA plays here as the blues did with Newman, acres etc to offset the experience till the kids are ready.

We also may end up with no return on the gibcus investment. That was the draft hand we needed to nail and at this stage , with the exception of brown has been  a massive flop.

I wish we were like North, in terms of rebuild they are years ahead of us, good young mids and one of the best KPF's going around + Scheezel

Yeah I'm worried Gibcus will never work out so far, which is a massive shame. Time will tell.

Brown a tick IMO.

Sonsie hard to say but I think he might make it.

No confidence in either Banks or Clarke.

So 5x top30 picks and it looks like we might get 1 player, possible 2, 3 max.

Shame we didn't trade up more with 28-30 and just take JVR. I'd have been happy with Gibcus, Brown and JVR...

I don't even terms of rebuild you can't have the cake and eat it all to. We're paying for our success to. There hand out club that keeps crying poor on and off field.

You got Gibcus now with a knee and Clarke to with a knee Brown doing well and Banks is improving that's no flop bit of bad luck.

I didn't say it was or wasnt bad luck, i said the draft is a flop at this stage and i am right.

You can dress it up add some nice sauce to it and word it out how you like.  Clarke second reco in 4 years. Gibcus 2 full years out of the game. Is he injury prone? Time will tell but one thing is for sure we need him to be elite, or we may as well forget about that draft.

Brown is the only one at this stage that looks like a potential a grade. I have hopes for TS and Banks being good foot soldiers, although i feel the former has more upside.

North have finished 15th, 9th, 12th, 17th, 18th, 18th and 17th in the 7 years since they last played finals with another bottom 2 finish beckoning this season. If your wondering why they have elite young talent and we have a lack there of, compare our finishing position over that same period.

Safe to say the phrase ‘I wish we were like north’ should never be spoken lol

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Unless you look forward to draft night?

[Chuck17]

Unless you want elite young talent in your side

[Tiger Khosh]

Unless you want elite young talent in your side

People want elite young talent in their team so that they can contend not continue to suck.

Can garauntee you that if we go the next 5 years getting picks 1s and 2s + priority hand outs and we start 0-8, this place would be having a meltdown.

In any case, your saying north is years ahead of us, well they bloody well should be.

If I offered 3 premierships or 3 #1 draft picks, would anybody take the draft picks?

cotch pick 2, dusty pick 3.

no flags without those 2 and that is a fact.

we need at the least 2/3 A grade talent that comes from those first few picks.

i personally dont think you need any more than 2 years near the bottom. Cats, swans to name 2 had how many top end picks? SFA if i recall. Even pies take out daicos and who else de goey?

pendlebury is nearly 40.

give us 3 top 10 picks in this draft and we are sorted.

I’ll take the flags thanks

[JP Tiger]

I'd rather win a flag than a draft pick, but in reality you take the draft picks first & then you go for the cups.
