List Mgmt. “It’s a form of tanking” the Richmond rebuild

[geelong_crazy26]

Yeah Geelong supporters...

You guys are so lucky Richmond have been absolutely shite for a majority of the last 4 decades!

Look let’s be honest, as a Richmond fan you probably are lucky to see finals twice in your lifetime the way they perform in the AFL system. So far it’s 6 finals series in 35 years of the AFL system. So kids born now probably will have to watch geelong play finals till they are in their 30’s or early 20’s to see a final or two appearance from Richmond

As I said previously, beating Richmond is an easy thing as everyone beats them regularly year to year, but finals… it’s like waiting for an elusive wackamole to pop its head up… they just hardly even bloody make it!!

I said Yr 1 or 2

Paddy Cripps also doubled Clarks production at the same age

Not saying Clark will not grow into a serviceable player, but elite is one thing he wont be.

Why are you taking about Jhye Clark?

Are you trying to convince us that Geelong's 7th-10th best current under 24 player isn't elite? Or that early draft picks are overrated?

because you said

"Most draftee inside mids don't really mature until 4-5 years in the system. They'll play rotation roles until then"

and I said that elite mids show themselves in Yr 1 and 2, and provided Clark as a perfect example

Then you said gave Cripps Danger and Fyfe as examples of mids that did not contribute early, and you where flat out wrong

Not sure why you are being so emotional?

Bit more than that. AFL started in 1990. Richmond has made the finals;

• 1995 Prelim
• 2001 Prelim
• 2013 Elimination
• 2014 Elimination
• 2015 Elimination
• 2017 Premier
• 2018 Prelim
• 2019 Premier
• 2020 Premier
• 2022 Elimination

So effectively we make finals 1/3 of the time since the sport has become the AFL in 1990

Levi seems to be the top dog everywhere you look at the moment...

That picture makes Ashcroft look like a real douche. Just has real estate agent/Crypto vibes.

If you remove that one patch from 17-22 as it was essentially the same side, you are a side that has over the span of 29 years in the AFL system made finals only five times.

5/29 is a pretty appalling run up until your 17 team.

That’s a stack of mediocre seasons poor fans had to witness.
