Anyone thinking we will finish bottom two is dreaming

May as well win the next 10 and play finals

Better than what’s about to happen
Our list close to full strength is a 10th-14th one IMHO. Only reason we are bottom 2 is due to our horrendously long injury list. Get Lynch back up forward and keep him, Taranto and co. on the park, and we'll definitely win a few more on the run home. Still need to play the cubs though as they are the future.

Full strength 7-12th I think

We will end up in the horrible area a few positions higher than is ideal

Nice to have a win but I'd rather a better pick at this stage, hate to say it.

Proud of them though. They had a legitimate dip. Won the tackles despite losing disposals.

Mid table finishes that get us nowhere and cause us to overrate our list until we finally bottom out when Tassie comes in.....#TheRichmondWay.... :clapping :gotigers :clapping

Agree
At the moment it hasn’t shafted us , but we wouldn’t want to gain too much momentum

Tigers theme song would rankle every Adelaide supporter especially played at their home fortress. Go Tigers, great job and well done.

Must say I like YZE coaching from the boundary

Taranto makes such a difference to this team. His ability to win contests get to contests and tackle is first class.

In Korea with Mini-me and went to dinner but checking the scores. Went back to our hotel for last half of fourth quarter and Mini got the game up on her laptop only to have the coverage freeze in the dying last 20 secs. Happy to have my tips wrong :gotigers

Full strength 7-12th I think


Full strength with new coach bounce I reckon we would have been 6-10

I  still reckon we will get a better idea of where we are as club especially list wise in 2025

I think the injuries and mess of a season could be a blessing in disguise

Absolutely crucial we win some games for the cubs, but not too many

Yep , fair call

I just think and I know I'm in minority but I don't think our list is in as bad a shape as it appears.

Through this horrible season we are seeing a lot of positives from our Cubs especially a couple who so many of us (rightly IMO) have been critical of (eg Hugo, even Cumberland the last 2 weeks). Yes there are some that have stagnated eg Dow and Ryan but the others are showing plenty

Couple in thwtcwe seem to have found some gems in Campbell and McAuliffe and things aren't IMHO as dire as what it appears

#playthecubs

that’s what 2024 is about!

Taranto is huge for us.

Campbell, Brown, McAuliffe, HRS, Miller ✅

I reckon we have missed the boat to a degree. Yes we have played some kids almost only becuase of injuries and too often even then reluctantly. but we could have played a more and got more games into them as well.

Two examples this week McAuliffe as sub  and Smith dropped having got a few minutes the week before.  missed an opportunity imo to at least look at one or two talls in Bauer, Gray, Blight. Trouble with is it means favorites like Short dow and McIntosh have to be dropped.

Funny how quickly people forget after a meaningless win against a very poor opposition last night.

Play who we have been crucified with. Injuries. You said Bauer he needs match fitness after his long Injuries. Blight and Gray let them learn the system and the fundamentals in the vfl then get them in. Mate kids have played by force or not it's happened. I agree there is a few experience heads letting us down and would rather see them out, but we need some guiding the cubs to.
