This group still has time. The Connolly era from 2003-07 as a fan I felt we underachieved and wasted Pavlich’s peak.
Both groups showed they could beat anyone anywhere on their day only to then have some meltdowns either across a quarter to cost a game or a 3-4 week run of losses.
Plenty of whispers during the week of a retirement. It’s him and Pav as the best to do it in purple.
We didn’t get enough of him at his peak sadly due to the broken legs but in his prime he was the standout player in the comp. Not enough recognition as to how powerful he was, he was a brute...
Personally I’d rather the club just got to work and kept this stuff out of the media or fans. It doesn’t really serve a purpose, a lot of clubs have done this sort of thing and only Richmond ever got it done.
No one deserves to be sacked if we don’t but I’ll say one thing, this club has...
We head into 2025 the same as 2024, JL with a season on his contract coming off a year we didn’t deliver to expectations.
The club had a flag in its aims by 2025 and the women’s team won’t get it done either.
It really puts the club in awkward spot, I don’t think going an untried coach to...
It irks me no end some of the attitude to Shane on forums/social media. For me he is still in our best 25-30 ever. Plenty remember the howler kick to Ben Hollands against Richmond but week in week out he was competing and beating some of the big guns of the league.
Scotty Thornton - especially loved when he snuck forward and kicked a goal. I really rated him, the guy couldn’t put the meat on he needed to compete but I enjoyed watching him.
Clancee was great, the ability to think the ball 60m off a step, the big ass, great stuff.
Steven Koops was great...
Dogs, Brisbane are better than us. No one else I fear plying in a final home or away but would much prefer being home.
Throw a blanket over the rest but if we have Carlton week 1 5v8 I think I’ll throw up with nerves.
Chappy has had a rough month. He is not intercepting, he is getting goals kicked on him, his kicking is off, he is hesitant, indecisive.
If Ryan is getting the bigger jobs with AP out surely Chappy steps up as the interceptor. He has had 5 marks in 3 games.
He won’t be dropped but he’d wanna...
I’d bring Johnson in as sub, Aish slots in for Wagner. I get Wagner gives a bit of drive but I don’t think it’s enough to warrant his spot, he is prone to a bad kick and I’m not sure he knows how to defend.
I think though it might be Johnno in for Aish and he comes back as sub or maybe Fyfe is...
Brisbane - feel like they’ve been knocking on the door and apart from Zorko they have a likeable team.
Collingwood - I can’t see it happening but they’re an amazing team to watch. The comebacks and frenzied style they play is enjoyable. I don’t think they can do it this year now.
Sydney - I...
If we don’t get the players (Baker, McDonald, Warner) we want this trade period I see us swapping our picks for future firsts and trying again for Warner the year after.
OR we package them and move up the order, I don’t think we will take 3 firsts in one draft. WCE may be keen for something...
Duff has had some family illness recently, it’s why he disappeared last year. I hope it’s not that again and just a cold or flu.
I wouldn’t listen to Gossage under any circumstances
Emmett’s tackling was super tonight, you can get a tackle stat by touching a jumper but all of his I reckon stopped stk outlets and also looked liked they would hurt.
In a team where the forward line is a weakness with no real forwards playing well at Peel he stays. Walters I can see being a...
Draper, Voss - Amiss, Switta.
Aish, Chapman, Walker, Ryan, Clark, Pearce & Banfield/JOM as the 7 backs. Simpson stays as sub.
I was adamant Young was not a mid but im in the don’t move camp now.
Richmond forward line isn’t great, it isn’t tall either unless they play two rucks...
I don't think Lukosius is a legit option for us, Sam Taylor would be great but I think WC will be his best option given they will probably be able to offer $1.5m extra say over a 5 year deal.
McDonald would obviously be good and I'd take him for 2 mid-late x 1sts with a 2nd back to us but I...
We have limited key back depth, very good depth in the other back spots. Inside midfield we have very good depth, the outside mid not so much, Key forward depth is ok, assuming Tabs is not best 22 he isn't the worst guy to have come in, the other forward spots I think our depth is horrible.
