This is it. The last year where we can find good picks before GC come in. The best place for Richmond to finish is 16th.

That means - first pick in the ND, then a priority pick at the start of the second, then the next pick.

The most important thing is getting the priority pick. We need a key forward. Rumblings about town that young Tom Hawkins may be gettable at seasons end.

We need to trade out whatever we can, from the players who wont make it at Richmond,

Richard Tambling and Shane Edwards being just 2 of these that now number Many. :'(
You kidding? its round 3!

Our only hope for what?

I couldn't imagine going out to play football to lose on purpose, IMO opinion it would be a low self degrading act.

If we are crap and lose so be it but don't encourage a losing culture in a culture that would appear to be struggling at the moment anyway.

Your philosophy was the club philosophy in 2005 and 2006 ... and now we're rooted!

Have you played football Ramps, would you go out and play football to lose?

Tanking = no self respect or heart, do you think Richo would agree to tanking?

Melbourne have pick one sewn up as they will win less than 5 games 2 years in a row no matter how hard we tank.

Unless he has played AFL, no other comp offers a reward for finishing last. There would be no reason to lose on purpose.

Even in the AFL there is no reward for a player as an individual to tank, the club possibly when draft picks mature.

Tank" We don't need to tank, the way we are playing right now is productive enough of No results, we are already 0-3, hell we only need to continue doing what we are already doing. Tank, why try to do something when you can do it naturally to begin with.

tanking does not work, never has never will. saints had heaps of great picks, havent won anything, the blues, well ony they and fools believe they are "coming"
the hawks never won a premiership cos of tanking , they won because geelong kicked crap and they changed the way footy is played, nothing to do with their list , we bat them remember.
all the past premiers have not won cos of tanking but becaus ethey remained competitive and raised the bar, the eagles, swans, geelong, port, lions bombers etc

tanking is bs and only losers think it is the way to go

Ramps its a shame no one saw what we all saw many years ago and thats how pathetic we really are.

the list, the coach and ooh those furqin idiot assistant coaches.

cant wait to hear how another week about how everyone wants Wallace to coach the year out.

Wallace press conference!!
1) " I asked the players at half time to perform and they did their job"
2) " I just want them to play like they did at Geelong"

What an absolute loser this guy is. We lost in Geelong and we lost today.
Do you think at lexus centre they play halves and are content with a loss.

I achieved a desire result today. I knew in that Carlton game our year would be a waste and 4 games later i am positive of it

WE ARE THE BROTHER CLUB OF THE FREMANTLE FOOTBALL CLUB. WE ARE A DISGRACE TO BE PLAYING IN THIS COMPETETION

no time to be personal to anyone at this time, not even Terry.

Terry however does need to go. 92 games to do something and we have not moved one iota from our round 22 game against Sydney in 2004.
We lost 6 8 44 too 16 12 108.
No improvement from 93 games games ago. If anything we are worse off.
Bye Bye Terry.

Read this again it has it all. And it is what I would have put down. I agree with this at this time as we are just hopeless.
