We can't afford to be getting to 5 goal leads against teams like Melbourne and the Eagles as they will be doing their best also to not come back as they are in the same position and after the same thing as we are.

We need to ensure we play catch up in those games.

Yep may as well eat W Coast and Melbourne next week and finish with 6.5 wins and finish in 12th spot.

The opportunity was there to ensure first choice in the last uncompromised draft.

Bye bye priority picks. So typically Richmond. The year was stuffed so why try and paint over the cracks in the wallpaper. Just lose a few meaningless games and ensure we have a chance to select some kids who will be 10 year players. Only favours we have done are to Port if they win or Hawthorn if the Crows win.

What are the picks we have for finishing 12th?

Bloody Essendon. Always knew they were crap   ;)

Disappointing to lose the priority pick. Oh well the club will be forced into Plan B if it's serious about oveturning the list - trade someone with value who isn't part of our next premiership and get an extra pick.

Can't see GC17 using all those first round picks on kids in 2010 either.  They'll need some age diversification in their list, just like we did (but couldn't do anything about it).  There will have to be a chance to trade for a first rounder from GC ....

Can you imagine we lost this one the media would have been like hungry sharks around us after Terry opened his mouth earlier in the week. Stupid by the club if you ask me when the opportunity was there due to the AFL having their head in the sand on this issue.


MT we will have to trade a Foley or a Newman to attract something of value now. Whereas before all we had to do was win less than 4 and ensure we did not trade away any of our picks. Stupid Stupid Stupid RFC.

All that is left for us to do is to ensure that Melbourne and West Coast beat us to ensure that they do not get a priority pick and a jump on us in years to come. Surely we can do this right. 6.5 wins and 12th spot for us means squat in the scheme of the bigger picture. Ie 2011 onwards.

Sometimes when you are in 14th spot it is not about winning and losing it is about the future. This game today was one of those games..............

You idiot.

As if we were going to win next week against the Dees.

Now hopefully all this tanking talk can stop.

Go Tigers.

 :thumbsup  Rick Olarenshaw made a comment in his post match interview with Newman that was so easy to overlook but I think it is soooooo pertinent.  His words?

"Winning is a habit"

Pretty simple.
