Next 6 weeks

[pmac21]

Just looking at the draw, I would say we are a chance in all games. We play Nth, Swans, Brissy, Power, Freo, Bombers.
What would happen if we won 6 in a row ???
Big game this week I reckon, call me an optimist but dont think we are dead just yet.  Plenty of teams have lost 4 games in a row during the year.  It is just magnified as it so early !!
C'mon Tigers.....Lift

as usual i have booked in both the swans and port games. I love to see us chip sideways, and watch matchups like Goodes/Hyde.

ill see you at the bar WP, although judging by some of your comments of late i doubt your the best company to keep at west lakes.

Just look for the hat daniel and remember that despite our differences at AAMI they automatically disappear and  we stand together as 1

the nest 4 weeks willl decide terrys fate

Great to see some optomism....if we could win 4 of the next 6-we would be in a better position than we were at the same last year.

Who Knows how many victories it will take to make the 8 this year.It might be one of those years where 11 wins is enough.

You can never have enough optomism.....It helps you sleep at night.

Dont like our chances against Sydney though.....They own us like Richard Hadlee owned Dean Jones

Optimistically (yet conceivably) Richmond could be 4-6 after 10 rounds with a down hill run into finals.

LOL

We won't win any with the current game plan.

March did say that the game plan was terrible, hopefully Terry goes back to a basic man on man style.

its too late for terry
the horse has bolted
terry has failed us bigtime
his game plan should have been overhauled 3 years ago
why should terry changes his ways just cos he is in crisis and trying to save his bronzed arse, too late im afraid .
imo everyone is saying the board did the right thing last night and showed stregnth.
they are wrong, the board showed they are week by keeping terry on even if it is for the next few weeks. the board should not care if journos and past players say u should not sack coaches mid season.
the board and terrry are both just going with the flow
not good enough

Either decision has positives and negatives.

Sacking Terry mid season puts doubt in prospective coaches minds that the employment security is shacky at Richmond. Knowing that the next coach wont be winning a premiership in the first year honoring contracts is very important. Also what can be achieved from sacking Wallace and have a care taker take over for the rest of the season. It's never worked, unless they had 2010 coach ready and waiting no point of doing it until that happens.

The problem is the 5 year deal crap that Casey served up to Wallace, Brown and Simmonds. All have come back to bite us. Nothing over 3 years should ever be signed.

I'm not for Terry staying on, but I want to be able to watch a Richmond game and not cringe everytime we have the ball.

I want to have something worthwhile to watch and maybe even see a win!

Brown received a 3 year contract and was recontracted for 2 more on a vastly reduced salary during the recovery from his injury
Simmonds' 5 years has hardly come back to bite us, he was very good last year including selection for Victoria in the All Stars match so he would have always been recontracted for 2009 regardless. His 5 year deal was VERY VERY cheap and was a big win for the club.
Wallace's 5 years is still up for debate, I guess after all is said and done it will be seen as a failure, however given the lack of resources at the club when he was hired and the financial restraints we've had, it's not all his fault.

So a possible 1 out of 3 for you, that's worse than Terry's win/loss ratio at Richmond

First time poster so please be gentle

For mine its not the length of the contract per se, its that they aren't performance based.  Whether that be for coaches, officials or players.  It's seems to be too easy for these key people to 'sit in' these contracts with seemingly little or no accountability for an outcome.  As a supporter, it would be very interesting to know how (if at all) marquee players, coaches and or officials are measured and what consequence clauses (if any) exist?

Hi MattR welcome to OER  .

You may have to learn to ignore the comments of a few posters who live in a parallel universe on here, if they make personal comments they should probably be taken that way but ignoring them is usually the best recourse.

Interesting question you ask and one I dont know but wouldn't mind knowing the answer to.
