Rate Hardwick as well, but he has 2 distinct issues working against him..
1. New game plan. Very very likely Richmond will take most of this year, and possibly part of 2011 to really nail it.
2. Terrible skills. Richmond, without a doubt, were the worst skilled team in the AFL. They are coming from a long long way back.
Carlton by 31 points.

Maybe Lowenbrau o'clock?
Much better way to go, trust me.
Yep I'm with ya on that Harks
They'll be a more difficult opposition this year. Their list is still pretty terrible, but last year they couldn't even execute basic footy skills properly because of negligent preparation. You wouldn't have to do much to improve on that skill level.
The other thing the Tiges have been famous for is their softness. GT mentioned this last year - apparently Richmond are well known throughout the football coaching world as been a very soft side physically and mentally. Hardwick should toughen a few of them up, but a few are terminally soft.
Interesting. How would the opposition handle it? Of course Warnock and Hammo would have to pose some danger around the ground or else their ruckman would just man him up. That in all likelihood is what would happen and they would try to hurt us with their running R/R. Kreuze would have to be at least as good as Jimmy Stynes for us to come out ahead Or Hammo and 206 would have to start taking marks too and the 3 combined hurt them. Not likely to happen when you think about it BUT still interesting

I dunno, it's all just Richmond talk to me. Hardwick has done nothing except get them 102 points behind the hawks at 3/4 time. Wallace was quite successful with the Bulldogs, it's just another Richmond cop out to blame him. He can't be blamed for the 22 years of failure before that.

Here's mine - any glaring omissions?
Swap in an emergency for Judd (obviously)
In my opinion, give Lucas a run in the Navy Blue!
Try doing this by narrowing it down to our 'best' 26 players Sheesh!

Sheesh!
You have detailed exactly my point of why parrot couldn't have suffered a major trauma at the hands of the RFC as a child.
The Tigers beat us in the '69 GF, we repaid the compliment in '72. The Tigers triumphed again in '73, we gained revenge in '82. The Tigers smashed us in 2005, we once again repaid the favour in 2009. Nothing traumatic in any of this, because we always return the favour.
As far as where we are in relation to Richmond, I think you are kidding yourself if you believe you are only one year behind us, bearing in mind your improved season in 2008 came on the back of a stellar season from Richo, with good support from Bowden & Brown, all of whom are now gone. You can't turn over 14 players in one off-season, with still more to go & be keeping up with those who turned their list over 2-3 years before hand. 2010 should be the season when Richmond hit rock bottom & then start gradual improvement from 2011, with the impact of the huge list turnover being less of a factor.

Surely Armfield will get a run before Anderson.
Heres a few more for you...
Hammer will not play-injured
Grigg- didn't make the cut.
Lucas-didn't make the cut.
Anderson-in.

Not a bad effort at all, mate - but Judd won't be playing, obviously.
The only changes I can see the coaching staff making to that are:
1) Out: Judd, In: Houlihan - Based on the preseason, Houla is in the plans of the MC this season. Not that I necessarily agree with it, but I think that's the way it'll be.
2) Out: Hadley, In: Grigg - Really like Hadley and what he adds to our midfield, but the MC really do hold Grigga in high regard. Was turning into a really good player for us prior to injuries last year, and I think he'll be given every opportunity to get back on track.
Possibly. I like Joey but his disposal and decision making are currently a liability. I know he has featured heavily in the preseason but I think, come the real stuff on Thursday night, we might just put a particular emphasis on good disposal, which may see Joey squeezed out of the lineup.

Surely there are others ahead of Anderson if the 3 you mentioned will not be available.
I will wait for the official team list to come out tomorrow

Yep...
No names but you will wait til tomorrow to see if the source is spot on...
Anderson is in to play a role which will be to stop a player...
Anderson was absolutely disgraceful against Adelaide. I even heard Juddy give him a massive spray at one point.

Ah well, we'll see I guess. Really disappointed if Grigg isn't in.
Disappointed if Lucas isn't in
