You say "lost", as if it was a bad thing.

Richmond hit the draft hard in 2021 taking five picks in the top 30.
This was meant to be the beginning of their rebuild, but none of these players are coming on as Richmond would have hoped.
Richmond took seven picks in the top 30 of the 2024 draft, but what happens if these players don't come on and the draft is a bust like the 2021 draft?
It could be the beginning of a long period in the wilderness similar to 1983-2016.
Yze isn't a good coach either, as a player he was a flaky half back flanker who never tasted premiership success and he was a part of a loser culture at Melbourne.
The likes of Caroline Wilson will have the knives out for him soon enough, probably as soon as this year if Richmond look like winning another wooden spoon.

Yze has not had the chance to be a bad coach, lol
looking better than Geelong
I can understand your getting edgy and nervous as a Geelong supporter.
I hope the mods do not keep you out because I fell for your fear for your Geelong team heading to the abyss and RFC potential down the track is frightening
Played in a reasonable period under Daniher, including a grand final appearance
Experienced premierships in a coaching role at Hawthorn and Melbourne.
But you don't have much grasp of him as a player. Yes, he could be a bit flaky, but he played far more forward and wing than he ever did half-back.
He has years where he kicked 30, 37 and 41 goals and he didn't do it at half-back. He also never kicked 17, 19, 19 and 24 from half-back, which he did in other years.

You tell him Magic.
Pretty sharp our Geelol suporting friend. They have worked out if none of Richmond's recruits are ever any good then the team won't perform too well.
Obviously being the most recent dynasty team we wouldn't know anything about recruiting dynasty teams.

When a Geelong poster comes on looking for a bite, I take that as a good sign, we must be tracking well in their minds.
We are not irrelevant to them anyway, lol, going forward
this could be quite a fun period in the next few years before we rise with a bit of banter before the hammer comes down for the Tigers rise

How long before another truckload of manure is dumped at Punt Road?
How long before Richmond need to launch another 'Save Our Skins' campaign?
Who will be the next Richmond coach to get spat on by one of their supporters?
Finishing last isn't tracking well.
Can't see that changing next year or the year after.
Last time you couldn't see it we smashed you in 3 finals on the way to 3 x Richmond flags.
Why the need to start smashing spoons so soon after? Nobody could see it 2021 either.
The Cats got on with winning a flag and continuing to contend. It's rather unbecoming to just plummet into an all time bad team.
