Nah. Effort and “pride” gets you 12th. Middling gets you St Kilda. No thanks.

Agree, all or nothing , no good doing a Wallace and winning useless games and finishing mid range, play the kids who deserve it with the experienced players and find out who is worth keeping and who’s getting a thank you for your service.

Obviously the lower we finish the better but you gotta at least go down swinging and not just roll over & play dead...or netball... :shh

Stuff it all.
Don’t care how we go down swinging, won’t be by design anyway….

REASSESSING YOUR AFL CLUB’S EXPECTATIONS AFTER 10 ROUNDS

Andrew Slevison
SEN
23 May 2024



What we thought: Not too much was expected from the Tigers in Adem Yze’s first year, especially after losing veterans Trent Cotchin and Jack Riewoldt. Nobody was tipping them for finals, but some had them sitting around 10th to 12th which seemed reasonable given the amount of quality players still on the list.

What we think now: It’s been a disaster of late with a lot of those quality players struck down by injury which has ravaged the team. That has negatively impacted the club’s results. It appears now as though the Tigers will have to settle for a bottom four position with Yze now able to provide opportunities for the youth. It’s a blessing in disguise for Richmond who should bottom out this year so they can stock up at the draft. It could be a tough watch.
