Based on the games so far it really depends on who turns up to play. The Suns should win because we're crap but if they can't be stuffed today and we bring the effort then we're a show. Mind you the reverse could happen as well and we get flogged again  :-\.

Just as we're getting on top, the typical dumb turnover comes along and gifts the opposition a goal. Sums us up now.

Geez our mid-forward connection is pathetic. You can't play clueless forwards :facepalm.

Quarter time

Richmond   3.4-22

Goals: Graham, Mansell, M.Rioli


6-2 up in centre clearances and 5 more inside 50s yet still behind on the scoreboard. You can't win with a dud clueless forward line ::).

Our goalkicking is as embarrassing as it is amateurish. Exemplifies the drop in standards across the board.

Their forwards play in front to a centre clearance with smalls front and square and get an easy goal. It's not hard except for our dopes who are always behind and out of position.

We persist with the zoning , Hardwick plays man on man, poor coaching as it a not working
Can’t hold a tackle, won’t play in front  and  are out of position, Brown is a walking mistake today .
Our  non recruiment of a key forward is disgraceful , kozzi is not vfl standard
Our kids are average , we have a very ong way to go ,

The instruction should be for Kosi to take his opponent away from the play and our players to lower the eyes and yes not kick it Kosi

Bauer should be the main target inside F50

Yep TK, Marlion gave us a spark.

Thank gawd season 2024 is over. Today summed up how crap we are especially up forward and our mid-F50 connection. Once again we struggle to only 10 goals. Add our lack of basic skills and failure to protect the defensive side of contests. Anyway, bring on the draft!

Some of our kids lack the required attack on the ball, some need to watch Picket as an example
And this zoning crap is a failure , we are too loose on the pick up , I know I keep saying it but can’t believe we are lucky to even bring the ball to ground in the forward line , we need to invest in a couple of key forwards in the draft ,  Lynch is a bonus not an expectation to play.
To buy in an average forward like Kosinski is not the answer
We need a tackling coach , only some senior players can stick a tackle , it’s so sad.

Despite all the "yay pick one!" coping jokes, the spoon is an embarrassment and a stain on club's history & never a thing to celebrate or wish for - we all mocked the Toffs when they sung our song after the McMahon goal and how that worked out for them....historically pick 1 is as good a guarantee that you won't win a flag....hopefully we at least bid on Ashcroft so it's moot... :shh

Over 60 tackles was a promising sign seeing we've averaging around 40-45

But 19 of them were in the 1st qtr. The 2nd qtr was the qtr that killed us and the tackling number showed that I think we had maybe 10 or eleven

An expansion side ?
They entered the competition in 1987. Hardly relevant when talking a 2001 flag.

And of the 8 players that went there from Fitzroy, only Chris Johnson played in the flags.

Brisbane “won” the spoon in 1998 . 5 years later they were a champion dynasty team .

Very very different set of circumstances there Matty.

Brisbane being an expansion side were given a lot of concessions to get them to the top.

An expansion side ?
They entered the competition in 1987. Hardly relevant when talking a 2001 flag.

And of the 8 players that went there from Fitzroy, only Chris Johnson played in the flags.

Didn’t they also have a larger salary cap which means not got cut after their dynasty ended?

There’s no quick fix . We need to play the long game . Stockpile elite talent for the next couple of years . It’s an ideal time to be crap with tassie coming in .

Richmond can not fix this mess with rookie and mid season drafts .

As bad as this year has been , it’s possible we’re looking at the year as a blessing in years to come .

this whole tassy thing is overblown if you ask me. I agree we need to stockpile picks, but not the north way.

who was near the bottom when gws and suns came in?

Despite all the "yay pick one!" coping jokes, the spoon is an embarrassment and a stain on club's history & never a thing to celebrate or wish for - we all mocked the Toffs when they sung our song after the McMahon goal and how that worked out for them....historically pick 1 is as good a guarantee that you won't win a flag....hopefully we at least bid on Ashcroft so it's moot... :shh

Totally agree. It is definitely a stain on this club's great history and should never be sought after.

Some of our kids lack the required attack on the ball, some need to watch Picket as an example
And this zoning crap is a failure , we are too loose on the pick up , I know I keep saying it but can’t believe we are lucky to even bring the ball to ground in the forward line , we need to invest in a couple of key forwards in the draft ,  Lynch is a bonus not an expectation to play.
To buy in an average forward like Kosinski is not the answer
We need a tackling coach , only some senior players can stick a tackle , it’s so sad.

The broken tackles and the failure to lay a tackle killed us. It led to the Suns getting easy goals.

I don’t think winning the spoon has the same stigma attached to it as it used to be .

What value is there in winning meaningless games at the end of the year….like West Coast .

We will have a bunch of new toys to get excited about soon .
Name one club that began success and a dynasty from winning the spoon and getting so many wonderful toys to play with..... ZERO!

Brisbane “won” the spoon in 1998 . 5 years later they were a champion dynasty team .
That is a BS example and you know it . Facts are NOT WON TEAM HAS !!!

"I had to laugh... the worst season in club history, and Richmond have waited until Round 24 to start flying the flag."

@kanecornes couldn't believe what he was seeing with four minutes left in Richmond's season.

Skeleton man with his  continuous hatred, little narcissist who makes a living out of trolling , I take everything he says as Richmond hate, nothing he says adds any value to a discussion.

Not sure there's any lies there myself.

I don't like him but he has a point.

It was actually a good game to attend, especially once Pickett got on the field, and the 35,000 crowd felt as loud as double that when Pickett snapped that goal.

Wonder where the fight and mongrel has been most of the year!

But a bit of deceit though, you can’t make strawberry jam out of horse manure, with injury and age it was always coming and just so we don’t get your hopes up , it’s going to be much worse next year  if we discard our best player , do we want the 18 to 20 year olds fighting the opposition or wrestling or in my case I just want them to go hard for the ball  and put their bodies on the line when it’s their turn to go, not a lot of that happened this year.
Skelton man is just given half the story !!!!

did it have an effect on us or other clubs?

2011 is when they scooped the pool on concessions. Dogs were 15th, Dees were 16th. Both have won flags since.

Okay i get most of our guns were selected prior them coming in, but petracca wasnt. Lions, Port were all rubbish around 2012 and look at them.

Of course its nice to beat the new clubs, but if your a destination and big club it wont matter at all.
