Richmond Rant / Re: Tom Lynch cops 5 weeks from the Tribunal [merged]
« Last post by Andyy on Today at 12:42:01 PM »Potentially causing harm or injury is such a can of worms.
Could argue any bump for the rest of the season which doesn't make contact with the head has the exact same potential damage but none will be suspended unless there is outcome.
Yet again, it's different when your power forward is swinging a fist at someone's head vs a careless or reckless bump.
Fmd I love the club as much as any of you but the constant bleating about how this should be less because Butts wasn't knocked out is utterly insane.
Anything less than 4 weeks would have been an uproar.
You can't go giving out haymakers and then whine about how someone wasn't knocked out so it should be less. You need to look at the intention and action.
This is entirely Lynch's fault and he knows it.

Richmond Rant / Re: Coach Adem Yze [merged]
« Last post by Andyy on Today at 12:39:05 PM »I hear that argument but would also say we should line up our form against a similar side like west coast to understand whether the “levy” of tired and young is worth the 11 - 13 goals we are seeing in margins.
I also don’t understand why we are getting belted every week and every quarter. We have barely been competitive by qtr since qtr time vs swans and had our best quarter of scoring in the last q vs bulldogs.
There’s belief and then there’s tired. The first one is the coach and we have had neither since qtr time vs the swans
You mean the last 2 weeks against mature sides pushing for a top 4 finish in WB and AC?
Otherwise before that we had a bye, lost to GWS by 3 points, then some other closer games against North, WCE, GWS, Essendrug etc. The Sydney loss for me was one of the more disappointing at 44 points but they are also a much more mature side than us.
The 11-13 goal beltings have only really been the last two weeks and I'm not surprised. Kids will be tired, older players sore, morale probably fading as the season goes on etc.

« Last post by TigerLand on Today at 12:14:12 PM »Agree the last month has been very ordinary. 1 swallow doesn't make a summer though, good or bad.
I've always had the opinion that Yze is a caretaker during development rebuild phase, and doing OK in that regard. I'd be very surprised if Yze is our next finals playing / premiership contending coach. No issue for this year, next year for this role but I'd think it'd be wise for us to be thinking of next big coaching appointment. If we are lucky and Simpson is not snapped up to coach in 2026, I'd be eyeballing him for 2027. Chris Newman and Corey Enright would be two I'd be interested in looking at.

« Last post by Andyy on Today at 11:31:41 AM »Yze has had a shocking month as coach.
I am really starting to have my doubts that he has any balls within the club. That lynch screw up told me a lot.
He won't be sacked until 2027, and nor should he but Fmd show some fight and get some aggression into you. Missed tackles should not be accepted under any circumstances.
I don't expect a bunch of kids to follow a game plan, but we have a lot of senior players not doing it either.
If we don't win one more game, which I think we will then look out next year.
Agree re: not dragging Lynch.
Otherwise I'm not at all surprised the team is starting to get belted. That was absolutely expected at this stage of the season.
All the players are tired. Too many kids, senior players carrying too much load etc. Very predictable.

« Last post by Hard Roar Tiger on Today at 07:20:46 AM »Whatever the gameplan, we look tired and lacking in energy. Compared to the game vs GWS, it’s almost like a different team.
Nank looks like he’s carrying something. If so, rest him.

Richmond Rant / Re: Changes for next week against the Cats?
« Last post by Wazza on Today at 07:20:41 AM »Play small fwd line like round 1. Lynch was only tall, with Bauer and lalor pocket and a flank of Mansell, green and Campbell. (That was round 1 lineup)
Lynch only kicked 1 and the goals were spread around.
We need pace on the ball.
