rate Richmond Tigers 2007 year

[Tigermonk]

I actually agree with Tigermonk 99.9%.
Seems that the monk is either close to someone at the club or is in the know?

Would rate the year 1/10 and thats for fielding a team each week,
Year was a disgrace!

close to all of them  l'm the skelton in the closet 

[Tigermonk]

Everyone knows the year was terrible.  We've all copped it from opposition supporters.  Why drag it all up again here.  No-one can re-write what happened - what's done is done.  Look forward, learn from the past and get on with it.

You know how many times l heard them words learn from the past get on with it
well everyone keeps seeing the same mistakes year after year & the more publicty these mistakes get someone might see the mouse trap come closing shut & see some changes where needed

changes l like to see is a media clamp on the club from president to players
Keeping certain journalist out of the club
Staff changes & going after the best people for the jobs
A change to medical processes & rehabilitation of players
The correct decisions made of players with long term injuries like Hall, Coughlan, Knobel, & many others over the years
A stronger representation by our officials to the AFL about our draw & other issues like interstate games & home games away from our home are things just to start
Then a change of Capataincy surely thats on the cards

The club says: Football operations manager Paul Armstrong -

“I don’t think this year we really recovered after losing Mark Coughlan, Troy Simmonds and Nathan Brown early in the piece, not all necessarily because of the pre-season training program.

Simmonds broke his ankle, re-injured it after coming back, and late in the season had a virus for a while. And, when we were helping him recover from the virus, they discovered a clot in his lung. He has been under treatment for that since and is going really well and we see no reason why he will not be 100 per cent next year.

Mark Coughlan has been in training for the last couple of weeks, so once we recommence, he will be in full training straight away. So they are both positives. And Nathan has come through the latter-half of the season really well.”

and whats that post to the thread there one eyed its telling us about injuries
3 players out of a side dont cause it to rock bottom
take a look at Kangaroos, Brisbane, Collingwood, Essendon, West Coast, Western Bulldogs, Adelaide there got many major players out still winning games & some teams playing finals this year missing players most the season
Its the same poo you supporters & Richmond officials resort to everytime Richmond bottom out you grasp excuses
aw aw we had injuries but you refuse to see past the fence your watching over
stuff we have injuries every year same as other clubs but none crumble like the toothless tigers
l see alot of posters dont want in on this thread are they worried the truth hurts what l'm saying
Dont ever say Richmond is having a bad season because of injuries cause its not the case

[Passionfruit]

I hope the rumour isnt true that the wooden spoooners couldnt have a crack at Judd because there is no room in the salary cap ?

Judd dont wanna come to Richmond we have a very poor history & we dont treat our past players well

Well seeing you put it that way - yes I agree.

That was put to bed yesterday Jack after that rumour was wandering around for about a week.

We probably done as much space as Carlton have to offer but we certainly have space to offer him what he is worth.  Which imho is 750000-800000 max.

And over 5 years he could be content with that because what's to say Judd isnt the next Aaron Hamill. 

[Tigermonk]

As l stated previously Judd has to overcome a huge injury problem
His prone to injury & most top footballers who are like that never recover to the glory years but l love watching him
only thing the umpires got there own rules when his got the ball getting spun around 360 is holding the ball regardless if you break the tackle

[{X}]

richmonds year

in a nutshell

pathetic

last last last
spoon spoon spoon

same old spin, same 0ld problems

we have pathetic fitness staff, pathetic rehab staff, pathetic coaching staff

a president that has no place in the afl pecking order and does not command respect. when is teh last time we had a presidentthat had power and presence?

skills never seem to improve at our club

lack of leadership, on and off feild


0.5/10

0.5 thanks to foley and polak

Agree Tigermonk about Judd and other star players getting special treatment with the umps when it comes to holding the ball but Judd is hardly injury prone. The groin problem he has now is the first significant injury he's copped in his AFL career. He missed only 1 game since 2002 before this year. In his junior career there was concern about his shoulders (which is why Hodge and Ball went before him in the 2001 draft) but that's been proven false.

Absolutely not true.

xXx you'd be surprised how well respected Gary March is, especially at AFL level. Not all presidents have to be Eddie McEverywhere thankfully
