The way Ryan developed in 23, I hope Naismith plays none.

Fella done a good job.
Fair assessment from a neutral fan. Well done mate kudos.
Tiger fans know however that the RFC would've faired somewhat better in 2023 if they actually had hit the season fit and ready and if they had Nankervis, Soldo, Gibcus and Lynch fit for the whole season and a coach that was actually truly invested.
Too many blokes got games for free that shouldn't have, and the kids should've received more games.
Thats what happens when a caretaker is looking for the big gig, they stick to what they know to hopefully get enough brownie points to win the job.
Definitely basing a few of his opinions on the musings of us lot (hello there) which is wise because we are very smart and handsome.

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
nah
pies finished second last in 2021 and made the prelim the next year (with umpies) then won the flag this year (with umpies)
our list is better than pies
just need to get the umpires to go down on us the same way

If Young Miller Gibcus and Broad all play 75% game time them the four of them would fill the three spots
I am smart and was once described as tall and, (in the dark) handsome Do I qualify?

So Thats Us F@^$#@^$@ Then is what ya sayin ..............
A lot of our potential to do well is tied up with the 5 that we picked up 2 years ago, Gibcus, Sonsie, Banks, Clarke and Brown are at a point in their career where they are ready to show whether they are AFL quality and propel us into the 8. If all or most of them do well we will bounce back quickly. You can add Bauer, Tresize and Coultard to that and MJR. I guess most of them haven't had enough senior exposure and I hope Yze gives them more senior time than the previous 2 coaches.
Also Smith Campbell Green Kosi Cumberland
The above boys will now have 2 preseasons and looking at smith in the vids and Green and Campbell in training
They have all physically developed to play parts and take their chances when presented

Then we have Ross who put in a solid season, if he continues to improve we have a player. RalphSmith and Mansell need big improvement IMO.
Hopefully Yze/Morris play Green in his actual position in the midfield rather than small forward.....

This article cleverly made it 23yo as of Jan 1st. Let’s look at 23yo as of Round 1, and see how the Pies youth looks:
Naicos
McReery
Macrae

So the ‘devil is in the detail’ …. Pies depth of youth is every bit as poor as ours, but because the date they chose was Jan 1st and not round 1 it includes Bobby Hill and Quaynor so they rank 4th…
Our depth of ‘talented’ youth is as good as I’ve seen in over a decade… whether talent translates to on-field performance is the question that will be answered in 2024.

Yeah, perhaps. But he was 76th in comp for Score involvements… so he either kicked a goal or did nothing. Terrible for tackles, goal assists, inside-50’s and any other metric for a well rounded forward. Even in contested marks he was 61st. But in fairness goals are the most important stat and he did well there.
But remember he never leaves the ground and he was the Roos only forward target. So everything gets directed at him in every minute of every game.
I reckon even Chol would’ve kicked a swag given those circumstances.

Sonsie was BOG at half time of the EF v Lions at the GABBA in just his 8th game of footy. He was touted as a potential future #1 when 16yo before COVID and injuries hit. His upside is enormous and if he develops his intensity and gains confidence he could be the biggest steal of the 2021 draft as his talent is unquestioned.

Also struggles with the mental side which was the main factor in his form drop before being drafted. Like a lot of young blokes COVID threw him for 6.

There has been much said about this kid, would love for an honest interview where he tells us first hand.

He’s the one I was hoping for most in that draft to get to us with our 2nd pick.
Has great skills just needs to knuckle down his repeat efforts and build the tank.
I think he will be a gun
I think I have worked out why we get so many long term injuries. Dr Frankenstein Meehan is experimenting on our player to make them taller. I can’t wait till he turns Baker into a ruckman
campaigners know we are sniffing around
