Damian Barrett has told Triple M’s Rush Hour that he has big concerns for Collingwood and Richmond ahead of the 2015 season.
... And the outlook isn’t that good for the Tigers either, according to Damo.
He struggled to see any improvements made by Richmond during the NAB Challenge since last year.

Fair comments, I see us as being in a holding pattern as well.
It's as thought the club is sure we are locked and loaded. Hope they are right.
-
We will be better than last year.
Even if our ladder position doesn't reflect it! ;D
-
;D
Don't u hate it when a turd is correct.
Not you, y&b.
-
The club is Living in a fantasy world and keep on making the same mistakes without changing the recruiting guru FJ.
Our club has substandard development despite the millions poured in to it.
I'm sure Vlastuin will eventually be just another potential couldvebeen star of the competition getting his 14 possies in the back pocket. Do it again Dimma!
-
If the club was serious he would have been fired before the grand final:

Fluff article , parrot never thought we d make finals , boy was he wrong :ROTFL I've got us top 4 provided our list stays healthy :shh

Fishing for Tiger fury again

Serial Richmond hater Damo Barrett..
-
A twit he may be but a realistic one in this case nonetheless....
-
Yeah and Hawks and power will struggle as they lost 2 out of 3 pre season games. Meanwhile look out for the rampaging Bulldogs and Lions. Get on them for the GF. Barrett, a footy genius.
-
If you listen to the clip he says we will struggle in the ruck area because Goldstein beat Ivan on Saturday. True story
-

Opinions are like..
Have to wait and see if he's right.

Good to see Barrett throwing out seed for the chicken littles

Goldstein is AA , last time I checked their weren't 18 AA rucks out there :shh

Acorns man, acorns!
And yes, the stuff is fattening nicely😉
-
This prick and Mike Sheehan trying to bait us as if we were as dumb as the collingwood ferals. stuff both of em and don't buy into it.

based on tonight i think damien is right. yes we won but how ordinary was it.

based on tonight i think damien is right. yes we won but how ordinary was it.
R u kidding? It's Round 1 and a very scratchy game, Carlton played a ultra negative stopping game and yet we had our chances to win by 7 plus goals. The way some of you doomsayers carry on you'd think we got beat by 10 goals. We will only improve from that and will b a better side than last year. Stop always trying to find the negatives and look at the positives, we unearthed beauty in McIntosh (oh but hang on FJ couldn't pick his nose). Taylor Hunt is going to be a very good player for us and we had the gumption to play him in a role that he hasn't been familiar with in his first 60 odd AFL games. Griffiths stood up when he was needed and will only get better.
So plenty of positives but it's to easy to be a keyboard warrior that sits there looking at how bad things CAN be, we won, 4pts in the bank and now for the Bulldogs

so you admit it was scratchy or ordinary against a side who most of you think will be near the bottom.
there was plenty to not like and i sure hope those in charge can see it because if they dont it the failings wont be addressed. imo not a lot actually changed from last yr.
-

poo win.
Fools Gold.
Carlton bottom four team and we lose a quarter and a half to them.
The usual suspects and Dimmers "deer in headlights" coaching technique haven't changed.
When blokes like Macintosh and Hunt walk in and perform it shows how peeweak our guys really are.
Sorry. Couldn't get excited.

Carlton will be competitive this year

From Barret's 'Sliding Doors' article ...
Richmond
IF ........... the Tigers simply believe they're on the right track after their win against Carlton...
THEN ...... we'd suggest a deep breath and a commitment to a whole lot more hard work.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-03/sliding-doors-round-one
-
Carlton went hell for leather and it payed off early, we settled well after a shaky start.
Bloody wrapped to beat the scum, very positive seeing it was left to most of the second tier players.
Dusty cotch Martin won't be kept quiet that often, jack was great.
Smash the bullfrogs next week is the next step.

there is some sense to what they are saying. we should have beaten them by 12 goals but didn't, that we only won the game by 4 goals is a concern.

Damian Barrett, the Kyle Sandilands of footy journalism.
Trashy, turdy, crappy with a hint of self righteousness.
Waste of words.

Big deal regarding the margin .....season is a marathon not a sprint .
Won without getting out of third gear - that is the positive .

If you hang around The Hairy Malaka to further your career through Malakies this is what happens.
You become a Rat Faced Malaka.

Who cares what he or anyone else thinks?
Just keep winning matches.

there is some sense to what they are saying. we should have beaten them by 12 goals but didn't, that we only won the game by 4 goals is a concern.
that they belted us for a whole quarter and should have been 5 or 6 goals in front at qtime is a concern.
kpis for the team
cclearances - badly beated especially in the centre.
c/ps - marginally beaten.
tackles - beaten again, we had just 51 tackles for the game. thats a continuing concern.
i/50s - won but only went in 54 times ourselves.
stoppages marginally beaten.
yep barrett is just being honest dont get carried away with that win it really is head down bum up and work work work.
i saw nothing at all to suggest we are anything more than a middling side still.

The fact that we were not playing well and were 23 points down in the second quarter and still found a way to win and win easily, makes me think we may be better than a middling side. Many say Carlton is a middling side and we were clearly superior to them even with our best mids having a very quiet game.
So what I am saying is that it is too early to tell. At least we looked fit.
-
Claw not everything is going to go your way for 120 minutes during a game.
We were 4 goals down half way through the second worked our way back into the game had a lead by the half and won comfortably by 5 goals. TBH should have been 7-8 goals.
In footy as in life not everything is going to your way, you just have to adapt and change your best laid plans. Whilst there are aspects of the game I am not pleased with overall I'm happy with the 4 points.
Was it fluent no, but we won without major contributions from our best players.
Furthermore we may have unearthed a gem in McIntosh a reliable B grader in Hunt to complement our better players in the midfield. Yes it was only Carlton but sometimes you have stop and smell the roses and take what you can get.
In the past we would have dropped our heads and gone down without a whimper.
As I said I'm happy to take what I can get.

Nicely said Don

Well that clarifies it for me.
-
rubbish.
The fact they didn't get out of third gear against such a dud list is proof
that there are problems.
Same ones as usual.
Perhaps you could join the coaching staff, or development?
They'd love you.
-
I wouldn't pee on Barrett if he was on fire, probably because I set him on fire, but you get the gist...

here here. or is that hear hear. whatever well said. theres always excuses. like you im sick to death of stuffing around for bottom to mid table finishes. get it right and win a freakin premiership. the sugar coating makes me sick.I wouldn't pee on Barrett if he was on fire, probably because I set him on fire, but you get the gist...
if he talked us up you would probably be his best friend.
head in the sand stuff for no other reason than a bloke dares criticise. never mind the critique is probably warranted.
-
Was it last year Grand finalist Sydney got rolled in round 1 ( by the friggen giants )
Was it in 2012 - premiers hawthorn got beaten by a point in round 1.
Fremantle only beat WCE in round 1 that year by 28 points and they went on to make the GF
Yet the sky is falling because we had a comfortable -almost five goal win .

this is always the last resort geez the sky is falling. no one has said antthing other than they look no different to last yr. same weaknesses same problems and dont look top 6 yet alone top 4 and we cop weak the sky is falling comments..
we werent good. we were beaten in too many important kpis against very ordinary competition.we we once again got belted for a big period in a game, some some players were awful all justified points for criticism and we cop ah the sky is falling.
its almost as if people think we should not criticise em at all after a win. or worse there was nothing to criticise.
that standard wont get us into the 8. unlike the supporters around here i hope like hell the club is doing something about getting better. only way to get better is to actually acknowledge what we didnt do too well. its something it seems very few around here are not prepared to do.
lastly when posters are openly saying on threads where are the nay sayers they are quite after a win they are asking for negative comment. make no mistake in every game there are always negatives to be talked about.

As there are in every post

Well said.
Plenty things that need improvement but after the start we had which was TBBH shocking, to work our way back in and end up winning is a positive, however small it may be it is a positive none the less
Will take it and 4 points that comes with it and move onto next week
Where I am sure if we don't win by at least 15 goals then it will be another failure or something similar ;D
-
We should forfeit the 4pts since it wasn't a very good win.
-
I noticed Kingy said the same thing too - don't you think the "gee tiger fans are getting excited too easily" material is wearing a bit thin? I don't know of one single tiger fan that has come out and said anything contrary to we'll take the win but we need to work on some things. Talk about playing to the typical stereo type. Why don't they throw in something about Dimma being relieved and sacking coaches while theyre at it ::)?

Eh let the babies have their rattle.....

Played a 4 ball comp on Friday, wearing my tiger polo, and one group were saying 'tiges up and about aren't they, premiership favourites'. They had to be either blue supporters or hawk supporters. Hawk supporters seem to get very jealous if you're not praising their b2b flags.

What a flog. If we got beat by 10 goals he still would have been a contrascending flog and then made up for it with a comment like "The Tiges are my second team that song is the best in the league".
Spare me. These smug fairweather supporters with the character of a toilet mat. :help

Claw, first off, I don't deal in 'probably'. I would not be his stuffing best friend because the man is a first class used car salesman DH looking for click bait victims to pump up his BS, so you can take all probability out of it. Also, don't sit there and give me the shell grits over a 'critique' 'probably warranted'. It is either warranted or it isn't you stuffing miserable fence sitting toss pot. You just got into me but you haven't even got the decency to be committed to the reason why? You are lucky you aren't near me or I would throw this hot stuffing soup on your balls for agitating me with bs.

I have a love/hate relationship with this forum. Love the insite from those that know, love the constructive discussion on players and team. Hate the bs, negative crap, personal stuff and the trolls. Suppose there is no way to get one without the other ? Nice to see Jack being positive this season (so far). I do miss Stripes with his very insightful and eloquently put posts.
-
Huge reason to be positive
Been positive since Round 13 last year
And what I saw yesterday at the VFL .strap yourselves in for the ride #tiggertrain

Dont know, just haven't seen a post by him for a long time. And he used to post regularly.

Ive never seen you this positive Jack whats happening? Personally I reckon we are about 3 players short.
-
He's having Lunch but he went over to another site because he got sick of the personal attacks from some who just couldn't stand him having a positive opinion that was different to theirs
I will let him know he's been missed
Ps :I agree with Jack , some real good signs in the 2's for the future.

5 games in to round 1 - tigers top of the ladder ....drink it up boys

It makes the fall all that much more damaging.

-
we were beaten in too many important kpis
They must not be very key to winning if we lost them yet still won. Only one KPI actually matters and that's the scoreboard and if you don't think that's the most important stat then you have your head so far up your own clacker you'd never understand football properly
-
That's fine for a week but to ensure the wins continue, and against quality teams,
these issues should be addressed.
Bigger picture.
-
Keep kicking the bigger score and you keep winning
-
Sure...
-
May as well stay home next week, can't win either way by the looks of it :scream
-
Sheesh it aint that bad.
Sure its not elite but it aint that bad trust me.
Its better than mid range.
It's not about being a nuffer but geez smell the roses Claw.
You'll feel better.
I'm as frustrated as the next guy but geez I aint going to let it cloud my judgement on everything on field. Like I said Thursday wasn't perfect no game is, even Hawthorn, Geelong and Sydney don't have everything their way for 120 minutes but finals last two years is at least two steps we haven't made in 40 years. The results weren't great but that's what a new season brings a clean slate and an opportunity to right wrongs from past campaigns.
It's like your kid comes home at 25 tells you he's just got his stripes and has got his doctor's degree and you turn on them telling them not good enough you had detention in year 7 for a month for telling the teacher to go forth and multiply.
Take what you can get. Way way too much overthinking. You might miss something otherwise.
Nothing is perfect even Premiership sides with quality on every line don't go undefeated.
-
Thanks for posting that Don. We won, let's enjoy it. We will lose and hate the feeling so might as well enjoy the highs whilst they last. Claw ain't on his own though, there's a few more.

very good don. and the reason i bring this up is the following.
one of the reasons i continue to post when we win is the simple reason if i dont there are plenty out there who will ask where are the nay sayers always quite when we win. when we win im more likely to post because of em.
if we played good footy id have congratulated em but they didnt they were shizen so even though we won there wasnt a lot to get carried away with.
we played the same way against the dogs and lost what does that say.it says im looking at the overall performances and not letting the win loss column cloud my judgement like many supporters do.

That's cool for the most part I actually agree with your posts Claw and think there is merit in your processes. I just am of the ilk that some weeks I can talk about us more than others. I think that in total I'm a fencesitter with a propensity to be a darksider based on the current on field plight of the club.
I think we all have valid views but I think also with RFC and what we've seen for a long time is just stop and enjoy the moment and find that happy medium between full blown passion and keeping something for ourselves due to the fact that I have seen no evidence yet that we are on the ultimate path of success. :thumbsup
We all have different stories on RFC and how we come to be how we are. :thumbsup

Sheesh it aint that bad.
Sure its not elite but it aint that bad trust me.
Its better than mid range.
It's not about being a nuffer but geez smell the roses Claw.
You'll feel better.
I'm as frustrated as the next guy but geez I aint going to let it cloud my judgement on everything on field. Like I said Thursday wasn't perfect no game is, even Hawthorn, Geelong and Sydney don't have everything their way for 120 minutes but finals last two years is at least two steps we haven't made in 40 years. The results weren't great but that's what a new season brings a clean slate and an opportunity to right wrongs from past campaigns.
It's like your kid comes home at 25 tells you he's just got his stripes and has got his doctor's degree and you turn on them telling them not good enough you had detention in year 7 for a month for telling the teacher to go forth and multiply.
Take what you can get. Way way too much overthinking. You might miss something otherwise.
Nothing is perfect even Premiership sides with quality on every line don't go undefeated.
very good don. and the reason i bring this up is the following.
one of the reasons i continue to post when we win is the simple reason if i dont there are plenty out there who will ask where are the nay sayers always quite when we win. when we win im more likely to post because of em.
if we played good footy id have congratulated em but they didnt they were shizen so even though we won there wasnt a lot to get carried away with.
we played the same way against the dogs and lost what does that say.it says im looking at the overall performances and not letting the win loss column cloud my judgement like many supporters do.

all good don. you dont even need to be a darksider or an optimist you only need believe in what you say right or wrong.
i will admit there are times when i would like to be a little more positive but if i am it will just lead to abuse and accusations of chopping and changing.made a rod for me own back in a way.
end of the day its easier just to look at what we do wrong and try and think of ways to fix it.
i think people think im trolling them at times. thing is when i say we have an ordinary list i mean it.

Can't speak for everyone but I'd like to see some clawski positivity. Doesn't have to be all the time but it would add some balance

Damian Barrett has told Triple M’s Rush Hour that he has big concerns for Collingwood and Richmond ahead of the 2015 season.
... And the outlook isn’t that good for the Tigers either, according to Damo.
He struggled to see any improvements made by Richmond during the NAB Challenge since last year.
