So with Cotch and Jack pulling up stumps, will be an end of the stream of toddlers and infants hanging around the club. So who we got with the next batch of little ones?

I hope we go into total hibernation in our hub this week... With the bye (albeit a short bye) of 9 days let's just get off the radar and let the others pull the media glare. A few very 'un-Richmond like' things over the past week or two - Brooke's mistake, some Tigers apparently approaching AFL...

Just heard on the Talking Tiger Podcast that our virtual friend KiwiTiger has been under the knife... All the best for a speedy recovery champ! :thumbsu:

So what will we do to evolve and improve further in 2020? We all saw our innovative shift from 2017 - smaller forward line with one tall - quick ball movement with surge forward handballing - one ruck only - immense forward pressure. Then this year we evolved somewhat, second tall target forward...

:Do_O

OK - so one of these guys is going to get a fair crack at it for the next 8 weeks or so.... who would you prefer? Soldo is a big workhorse and a competitive tap ruckman but for me, with the success we have had under adversity this year blooding youngsters, CCJ has by far the bigger up-side. I...

Warning - a Roachy8 ramble is incoming..... I've been watching events in the AFL since our untimely departure on the 2nd last week of September and despite the disappointment on that day, boy it's hard not to love what I am seeing from a Tiger perspective. Sure, the loss to the maggots was...

So with our 2'nds bombing out in straight sets (campaigners) and the main squad so bloody good that we are destroying footy for everyone else to the extent that we now have to endure another bloody week with no Tiger footy to anticipate... I'M BORED! Tom Lynch thread is just treading water, no...

So maybe it's the ole bastard pessimist in me but I'm convinced we will be seen as the guilty party today after Clarko's morning latte with Gil. #premiershipwasundeserved #tigerscheated What you reckon Tigers?

From AFL website today, their mid year AA team... Rance, Dusty & Cotch get a guernsey but they nominate Dimma as coach due to his turn-around of the Tigers. It's been a worthy effort, that's for sure but still - WOW! Discuss...

Yarran placed on long term injury list (forgot he was still on our books... :oops:) So who gets the elevation? Richmond’s rookie listed players available for senior list promotion are Tyson Stengle, Mabior Chol, Ivan Soldo, Jason Castagna and Callum Moore...

OK - pinching this sorta from Hoos from the best 22 thread, but got me thinking and would welcome thoughts... With Prestia and Caddy and Graham joining the club and the mooted shift of Vlastuin into the middle, if not this year then perhaps from next year would Cotchin suit a 'generals' role...

Thread to discuss internal culture of The Tigers this year. (Please keep coach bashing to a minimum) Clearly the milk at Punt Rd has soured a lot this season - from finals targets to massive (seemingly) ructions and re-builds. Apparently a major internal review undertaken Most assistant...

Or at least some of them? Many times over the past couple of months we posted on here that the insipid performances were as a result of the coach 'losing the players'... With an unprecedented number of guys now looking to get out, including at last count 3 first round draft picks... you could...

to todays Mad Monday festivities? A couple of years ago he looked very much at ease :oops: in his Ace Frehley get-up... whilst fielding questions about our poor ef against Port. Will the boys be Mad Mondaying? Wonder what the atmosphere will be like with the limp end to a crap season? May...

About to shoot bambi here... This is not just about last night & I know Ivan has had to combat Sandilands and Naitanui in successive games which is very tough but plenty have been saying he 'needs a rest' for a few weeks now and boy... he really was lumbering last night, even when Nic Nat was...

What the hell is this anyway? - We have heard a bit of it from Dimma and the Captain and the leaders this year.... **** we are horrible to watch - simply disgusting! Even if we had somehow scratched out a win yesterday the 'Richmond Way' of playing is vomit. We keep hearing that there was just...

when you first posted on Big Footy? It occurs to me that I have been lurking around here for almost 8 years... Back then my 2 daughters were 6 and 4... now one is in year 9 and the other is finishing primary school. I have changed jobs 4 times in those 8 years.... :( Bloody manufacturing...

Reflecting on the beg fella's great 2014, & just for a bit of Christmas fun, predicting a massive year in 2015 for the big Griff! Brings some very unique skills to the table with his big grabs & looooooooong kicking... Oh - & different sizes bit some similarities to one of our greatest ever...

<mod edit> Full details: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/corporate/player-sponsorship For BigFooty this is what we do: Basically it's $1500 per sponsorship but we divide it by 20 to get a single share at $75 each. We then sponsor a player as "BigFooty Richmond Supporter Group". We take as many...

So in terms of a pesky defensive half forward type who kicks and creates goals, who do you reckon will step up and cement a role moving forward? Sam Lloyd? Nathan Gordon? Other? Both Lloyd and Gordon showed some good signs at times in 2014... Gordon for me - just reckon he will become very very...

Luckily I did not watch tonight's game, was having dinner with friends. However, one mate there tonight is into sports/player management and used to play NRL a while ago - smart fella, we were talking about AFL but sport in general and what it takes to bring a winning culture to an...

I love Jack - makes the game fun to watch. Cops so many unjustified criticisms, so much crap, so much advice... Love the fact that he says what he thinks - disagree that it was the worst thing in the world that he did. Love his emotion and passion on the field in a Tiger jumper - no robot, a...

Still reckon we are under-utilising Dusty... Re-watching the Lions game again it gave me the shits hearing the commentators (including Richo) talk about Dusty needing to build his tank to fully play in the mid-filed etc. etc. Sure, all players until they get to around the mid-20's continue to...

So Jack was 'unvoted' from the leadership group over summer and Chaplin was voted in. Last 2 games, Jack has shown heaps of 'real' leadership during games.... stepped up, dragged us forward. Chaplin has lost form since elevation. Hindsight - mistake - upset team harmony early in the year?

Watching GAblett once again smoke the opposition last night and kick the ball that scored the winning point made me realise.... for the Tigers to actually take that final step and become a contender we need a chrome dome amongst the ranks. Think about it, apart from son of God... Even though I...

Good huh? Just observing all of the post-season machinations and subsequent analysis and discussions it strikes me... it has been YEARS since our whole club has been this settled. The front office is solid - Benny Gale is a rock! The Punt Rd redevelopment is virtually completed. The...

Discussion stemming from the 'what will it take to jag a flag' thread... We are growing, we are improving but certainly in the past and IMO even now we lack genuine "big game" players who can be relied upon to step up in a big, important game when the heat get's ramped up and the other team is...

Just watching a clip on rfc.com where Rance talks to Dylan Grimes. Gee he is an impressive young man - sometimes you can just tell quality individuals even if you don't meet them... just by seeing them on video etc... We have always looked a much better and less stressed outfit with Grimes...

Yeah I know his backline efforts and shut down work is invaluable and he has been gold down there this year however.... When in the opening salvo's like yesterday it is just sooooooooooo obvious that we are getting smashed, I see value in getting him into the centre and through the middle to...
