A nice big cleanout this year, a new coach, new training facilities for our players and some decent recruiting, and we can be on the verge of the 8 in 2010.



Not while our players refuse to play for one another ...

The good part is a lot of those will be retired/delisted this year.

Well, I am glad we did not tank.

Winning the extra couple of meaningless games against the like of Melbourne and then losing by 90+ points is a much better path.

Well done Richmond.  :gotigers :gotigers

Regardless of the want to tank that went on we're now in a similar position than we were before the call to tank, so we've done a pretty good job to please both sides of the debate.  ;D

erm.. a 'a similar position', without the higher draft position, or the extra drafts picks that come with tanking I spose you mean?

By kicking that goal against Melbourne I think McMahon may have done the worst thing to us on the subject of drafts since we gave away pick 19 for him.

I think I hate him as much as I did Tivendale.

tank or not, the worst we get is pick 4 now that roos won. 

word is that freo wants morabito, which is good news for us, as it would mean we'll definitely get trengove or butcher. 

of course i'd much rather freo win and we lose next week as it makes it a certain pick 3 for us.  also means we'd get the 2nd pick in all the later rounds in the draft.  sometimes later in the draft, 1 pick makes all the difference.

Lol, we haven't tanked and have ended up in a similar position than we really could have aimed for by tanking.   :shh
