Even if we have a horror injury year?
Was thinking that would be the only clause, but it would depend on the context of the season and morale and have to be a DIABOLICAL injury year.

Even if we have a horror injury year?
Thats the big problem. Many thought we could play finals. I hoped but thought we would be close again but not good enough.Don't believe I said any of the things you have just said .. I thought we could win today because when we play well we are exciting, our pressure his high, and in my opinion I think we are coached well.
What is undeniable is that on many occasions this year we could not hit a target if it was the size of mt Everest ... when a side is struggling there are many reasons .. the coach is the easy scape goat...
It's my opinion that our list is not up to it yet and has work to do . We are only so frustrated today because we are not playing finals when many think we should. We've only been in the hunt for finals because of the work Richo has done with us the last few years...

Yep.I reckon people should compare our list to others. I reckon we would be bottom 3 or 4 for top end quality, class and depth. Collingwood has us covered by a fair margin but we punch above our weight. I reckon it's definitely the list not coaching. We have dropped away since Jack Steven and Rooey stopped doing it all for us and our kids have had to do more of the work. When Gilbert is close to our best player coming back from a severe hand break we are in trouble.
I honestly have no clue why Kelly would come to us.Yep.
Things aren't looking so rosy for 2018, If I was Josh Kelly why would I want to leave to come this rabble? They can't even turn up for the most important game of the season. Maybe Steele is the ice breaker.
A literal mountain of money and no threat of a relocation to tassieI honestly have no clue why Kelly would come to us.
I'd rather be a 5x time premiership player with the Giants.A literal mountain of money and no threat of a relocation to tassie
Reckon the amount of egos running around in that team only make that a 50/50 proposition - i was very bullish early in the season re the Giants, even through injury, but after watching them since the bye I'm convinced they'll be lucky to not exit in straight sets. Very selfish brand of footyI'd rather be a 5x time premiership player with the Giants.

spot on, but why recruit crap players, cant kick , only a few with brains ( left footers leading wrong sides, no ball centering at CHF)I reckon people should compare our list to others.

Both teams started terribly.Its AFL footy mate you just don't/cant not show up like that it has happened way to many times this year. Good clubs just don't except that rubbish.
FINALS were on the line today
Apologies for my previous post. Im on one hell of a tilt after the game.Don't believe I said any of the things you have just said .. I thought we could win today because when we play well we are exciting, our pressure his high, and in my opinion I think we are coached well.

Weve all seen that this team is quite capable of producing high performance footy this year. Even not that long ago.
So if the coaching staff are doing a good job. Ok i can entertain that idea. Who's responsible for getting the team. Particularly the mids in the right frame of mind to come out and compete from the first bounce. Yes our lesders in the middle just didnt fire at the first bounce and it was over. Who's responsible for fixing that issue.
The team that smashed us is a good example. Are they just better in the middle? Why were their mids take the right aggressive approach from yhe start and why didnt ours?
Whats the answer? We looked so immature over and over this season.
Whos responsible?
Unfortunately, that dude was spot on. We were alright for about a quarter and a bit, shittest team in AFL for the rest of the game. His troll wasn't about Melbourne, it was about us, and the truth hurts.Enjoy ******* it up from here. You are mentally fragile.
Please don't start writing his excuses a year outEven if we have a horror injury year?
FMD I thought it was bad when we let Sinclair look like plugga but these Melbourne campaigners, never even ****ing heard of them and they're going to tell their grandkids about the time they got their only Brownlow votes against us.**** me we make some spuds look like stars James harmes and cam pederson lmao seriously it's getting ridiculous
Please don't start writing his excuses a year out
But I'll entertain it. That's why Richo had to bank this year it gave him his out. No he's leaving it all to happen in one off season which will be incredibly hard to do
Back against the wall stuff

**** oath, watch next week Norf will play some lad and eh'll play like 2005 Ben Cousins.
I don't think they are bad players, but their decision making is often flawed and they don't seem to be in sync except for in the rapid close handball exchange bizzo they do in numbered contests, which is what they must practice during goalkicking practice.We need to stop blaming Richo... we went from wooden spooners to missing finals by percentage in 2 seasons .. with the worst foot skills team in the comp.. by far..
I don't believe the coaching staff are the issue I believe we have overestimated / overrated our list and until we learn to kick and stop making mistakes.. no coach will take us anywhere..
We look to be in the contest every game and are our own worst enemy..
We are like a batsman who gets caught in the outfield every week rather than nicked.. we get ourselves out of it..
We need to address some list needs (in my opinion by drafting) before we can go anywhere as our list is not a finals contender
Yeh that's it.... Do you really think that?I asked the question for the reason that sometimes in a season shit happens out of the control of anyone. But then again that would just further cement your idea that Richo was a poor coach because he kept getting his players injured.
Yeh that's it.... Do you really think that?
If that happens the board would be forced to look at his previous body of work. He doesn't have enough to fall back on
In any case it's irrelevant. Richo will get a minimum 12 month extension
The hunt?In your opinion.
And if he gets the 12 months why the hunt?
