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

1. Yes. He has been working with the company for several years now. He recently had a promotion as people do

Who are you trying to kid? I don’t doubt he may have done some marketing work for them occasionally but ‘had a promotion’? Get off the grass

People are just upset that after decades of incompetence at Tiger land, they finally pulled a finger out, won a few flags and continue to make good moves afterwards instead of going back to said incompetence. Fair play to the Tigs.

Um...



If winning the wooden spoon isn't "going back to said incompetence" what is?

Well, I think he might be referring to how we have manufactured a good draft hand, which even you would have to admit was far from incompetent.

Is it really that difficult to finish last and exit a handful of your best players who still have trade capital in exchange for more draft picks?

I'm pretty sure any club could copy that template if they really wanted to.

Well we didn't really want to trade out players they wanted to go, but true our hand was half delivered.for us

Last season however we traded into this draft which gave us more picks this year which enabled us to trade better in a strong draft. Something like 8 picks under 60 before player trading began. This was not accidental and we we all wondering why at the time. Seems like good management in the end.

And yet many clubs haven't been able to find success, yet the template is there.

I will say of course there is a lot to go for the Tigers from here out but they've put themselves in the best position to rebound as quickly as possible and that's all that can be asked of them post-golden era.

Are you saying this is the best way to quickly rebuild?

Because there are many clubs who have gone a similar route without success, despite having 3 to 4 years as whipping boys of the competition.

I'm not saying it's the best but considering their position where a lot of players want to go home and their stars have retired, what else do you expect them to do?

The added caveat is Richmond is not a North or St.Kilda, they'll attract FA talent in the next few years to compliment their youth. I think they've done very well with the hands dealt to them.

How many clubs have managed to gather 8 picks under 25, none bar GWS and Gold Coast. Rather had kept Rioli and Bolton but not to be, so it hasn't been a handout.
