The fact of the matter is we have 10 players on our list that would get a game at any other club. The rest are over 30, not good enough or unproven.
The other fact is that our best 2 players lids and cotch were both priority picks.
Look at what west coast are doing,
they won a flag in 2006 and are lining up for their second priority pick this year, they are the most professional club in Australia. We have made finals twice in the last 30 years and are debating the merits of tanking.
Its a joke, we need to win less than 5 games, its critical
I dont believe what Im reading, I could swear that you didnt believe in the Tank and that weve debated this issue before and we were on opposite sides. Well its good to see you join the realists amongst us. And yes I even agree with you on WCE. Last year I think I did a summary of were all club lists were at and from memory I was extremely bullish on the Eagles going forward. Theyre tanking beautifully and in 3 years they will be a powerhouse again.
unfortuntaly ramps, I can tell you that the tigers have no interest in managing losses, the board isnt strong enough to take its medicine, it should of interevened in 2008 and managed a bottom 4 finish, and it should interevene now and ensure that youth get games and retire the old farts.
Big test for march in the coming weeks, and I believe he will fail the test.
We need to understand the reality of where and realistically we have 10 players that are of the right age and sound body that would get a game anywhere else, the rest are injury prone, too old, or just have not got enough exposed form to show with any confidence that they will be good enough. If you accept the former as a reality then how nice would it be to get 3 players in this year like Cotch Rance and Adam Selwood.
Then we will have 3 young superstars ( Scully Cotch Lids ) and 10 genuine AFL footballers on the list. If we are fair dinkum it has to be done, West Coast are not stupid
100% spot on
the problem with the RFC is we have never gone down this path.
Look what state our club is in now after finishing 9th. can it be any worse finishing last and collecting a Scully or a Butcher. Come on...
what a effin disgrace if we beat the Eagles. BIG effIN DEAL. Our problems arent going to be solved in 1 week we need to look beyond for once.
I believe in Santa and The Easter Bunny plus Fairies at the bottom of the garden. I also believe that all people are kind and nice plus I believe that we have a full list of players that could win us a grand final. I also believe that we just need a nice coach and all we have to do is change our culture. If you believe this as well please contact me as I some land I would like to sell you that was great sea view half the time.
March want to play our side on form so I guess he believes in Fairies. I hope and pray that he is really just playing lip service to all the Richmond supporters that want a magic pudding and the non Richmond and media that want us to make another knee jerk, feel good, short term decision that will ensure that we don't make the effing finals for the 25 years well - I despair and even more after last night.
