SuperFooty gives an insight into what the 2013 AFL season could hold
Sam Landsberger

THE NAB Cup is just 43 days away and we're into the New Year. Time to shelve the countdowns and look to the future as we make 12 bold predictions about the 2013 AFL season.
Tiger Time
FINALLY, the wait is over. Richmond’s long-suffering army of fans will see September action this year. The signatures of Troy Chaplin and Chris Knights, the natural progression of their throng of talented youth and the return of Ty Vickery and a fair fixture means there are no excuses this year. Richmond threw away its top-eight hopes with a trio of consecutive last-gasp defeats last year and botched several chances early to topple finals-bound sides. Maturity should eradicate such brain fades and there will be enough chances to post the 13 wins needed to play in September.

Perhaps a couple of years off a flag but this squad should make the 8.

Well done HUN :clapping :clapping
Build em up and then after a loss go for the throat and watch the fans go crazy :rollin :rollin

Making the 8 is only 55.5% pass. If we're still 3 years away from finals after 3 years of rebuilding then we've failed.

Got one dwaino ;D

Honestly I think you keep saying this same story year after year to make you feel......comfortable with losses and a mediocracy team...

For mine..its put up or shut up time...rebuilding is an ongoing aspect of every club.However i do think that much of our success will come with a fit and firing foley and vickers,added to the usual suspects.cotch.lids.martin etc

Yeah well, cant argue with that, but all things being equal, we re good enough :clapping

I don't believe that 2013 will be another soul destroying season like 09...but if that happens there will be some "entertaining" reading on OER. Seriously if that happens I might have to reevaluate the importance the Richmond football club has in my life.

You are missing my point (again).
This is a nothing story (prediction) by a newspaper that wants the Tigers to fail or at least have some "unacceptable" losses because they know that we are one bad loss away from fans going off eg calling for coaches to be sacked, players to be sent to Siberia etc - we have history. The media are building us up with the hope we fail and a number of fans fall for it. Have a look at some of the comments posted on here when we lose ;D
I have made it very clear that I expect to play finals this year anything less than that is unacceptable but I will not be sucked in by what the media says or how the media hope folks react if we lose a couple of games.
As i said a nothing media story with a bit of this :fishing thrown in for good measure
