No, a lot of the tiger fans are idiots.

So you want a club to be run based on the exploitation of idiots by a ruling elite or something more meaningful where many fans can embrace and enjoy the rise and rewards of success of a fruitful journey from achieving well earned premiership victories by our players as a team??

I think Benny would be open to getting who Yze wanted but Benny is no fool and Chocco wouldnt go against him and stay in his lane
Chocco still had coaching ambitions in 2016 and still felt he had some power this is no longer the case and he is just a development coach thats there to support the coaches and will know his place and be wanting to stay in the game as long as possible

Its all about the Yze/Chocco relationship

Sounded more like the Yze/Ratten relationship to me. Which I wouldn’t be unhappy about.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we kept most of the existing assistants. McQualter/Clarke might move on. So 1-2 out, 1-2 in. Can’t see wholesale changes happening.

Fox footy reported that mini is leaving. Is that true?

Wouldn’t be surprised. Didn’t sound too optimistic he would stay on in the Yze presser. Can see him going to the aints and maybe getting an opportunity to take the gig on when Lion moves on
 
if yze is as good as a tactician as reported he certainly has some toys to work with. have the obvious dusty and bolton. also rioli's run out of defence, bakers use on both sides and toughness and short's kicking (surely getting him more disposals within 55m is a weapon). but the biggest one is balta. he mightn't have the tank or footy smarts yet (but that what development coaches are for) but with his size, straight line running speed and kicking distance, what a weapon he could become. is he a waste as a lock down defender? don't know what position he would fit but as a floating defender, down the line marking option, breaking the defensive zone with his run and kicking penetration he's got the potential of being an afl top5 IMO. thats the exciting thing about getting some new eyes and ideas into the club.

also have some youngsters with potential and it will be exciting to see who wants to grab the vacant positions. I'm sure Cumberland will be happy about new eyes.....

The stench of complacency.
we need to remember the good times over the bad, without the success we would never had complacency.

I choose not to forget where we came from ya know.
 

No way we can make the top four.

In any event the top4 is meaningless anyway apart from selling memberships to those looking to get a sugar hit.

Nothing against the coaches or the players but the overall quality and youthful brilliance is not there yet.

I am not interested in umpires handing us premierships like Bulldogs, Geelong and the Pies either
 
“Just to be a part of it was really special.”

First Adem Yze needs to fix Richmond’s game plan.

Then the new Tigers coach needs to make it his mission to find the missing Richmond A-Graders.

Yze’s declaration that Richmond could follow in the footsteps of GWS and bounce back into contention was entirely appropriate for a first-year coach expecting excellence from his players.

But as he admitted, Richmond hasn’t won a final in three seasons.

They haven’t fallen off a cliff post-dynasty but they are spectacularly mediocre.

CEO Brendon Gale’s comments cut to the heart of the matter.

Richmond did miss its most structurally important player in Tom Lynch last year but the Tigers’ famed pressure and contest was often non-existent as they bled inside-50s to moderate opponents.

“We were on the cusp of the eight for most of the year, we were probably teasing a little. At times early in the year we were unrecognisable,” said Gale.

“Dimma acknowledged that. Andrew (McQualter) did a wonderful job getting us back on track. We have got some really good players, we exposed a lot of our youth.

We can play a whole lot better, we will play a whole lot better. There is a saying I will pinch from (Yze). You get stuck in the past, you die in the present. We have to continue to evolve.”
Those missing A graders?

Richmond had only one member of the All Australian 44 in Martin, who turns 33 next year.
On pure pound-for-pound talent and match-winners the Tigers are clearly well behind the likes of Carlton, GWS, Melbourne, Collingwood and Brisbane.

GWS and Melbourne both have two first-rounders this year — Richmond has none — while clubs like Gold Coast which won nine games to the Tigers’ 10 are about to recruit three top-10 academy talents.

So Yze needs to squeeze every drop from this list if he is to finish top four, which to be honest seems an unrealistic goal until the next generation have at least another 40 games under their belt.
Those missing A graders?

Tim Taranto must spend every waking moment over summer working on skill acquisition given Champion Data rated his kicking as poor.

His efficiency by foot in his last six games was 35 per cent, 33 per cent, 46 per cent, 53 per cent, 33 per cent and 36 per cent.
Enough said.

Shai Bolton had another ‘nearly-there’ season kicking 31 goals, while averaging 21.7 possessions and four clearances but can former Dees kicking coach Yze straighten out his wonky right foot after 31.29 and 12 complete misses.

Jacob Hopper, Tom Lynch and Josh Gibcus need luck with the injury gods given Lynch and Gibcus could have been the bookends but played four games between them.

Hopper is a potential A grader but has played 20 games or more in only three of seven seasons, averaging only 17 games.
The back line has huge potential in Gibcus, Noah Balta and the big improver from 2023 in Tylar Young, with Richmond believing they can play 150 games together.

Slot in stars Jayden Short, Daniel Rioli and Nick Vlastuin and it can one day be premiership calibre again.
Then comes the group on which this team will rise or fall under Yze – the 12 or so kids who are yet to make the grade.
Can three become A graders and three turn into the type of dependable role players like Jason Castagna, Marlion Pickett, David Astbury in the premiership years?

That group includes half back Tom Brown (pick 17), Thomson Dow (pick 21), Tyler Sonsie (pick 28), Sam Banks (pick 29), Judson Clark (pick 30), Samson Ryan (pick 40), Noah Cumberland (pick 43), Hugo Ralphsmith (pick 46), Maurice Rioli (pick 51), Jacob Bauer (mid-season draft), Matthew Coultart (mic-season draft), and James Trezise (mid-season draft).

Yze said on Friday “it’s not about the talent, it’s about the character who walks through the doors at the footy club”, but talent is a bloody good start.

Melbourne and Richmond recently won flags by that A-grade talent, but both clubs also maximised their second and third-round picks as Demons like Tom Sparrow, Bailey Fritsch, James Jordon and Harry Petty combined with the blue-chip draftees.
So Yze doesn’t have a moment to waste with a compromised draft hand, a star forward in Lynch coming off dual foot surgeries and a batch of contenders that have gone past the Tigers at a rate of knots.
He will have a honeymoon period and the recent Richmond flags will buy him time with supporters, but if Richmond is to contend again soon he truly would be the new Damien Hardwick.

sounds like a cope article by a pies supporter 🤣🤣🤣

pies do not have more talent on their list than us fmd

Do you also remember 1967? And think oh well, staff don’t really care about getting better as we won a flag.

It’s always nice to reminisce about past success but that’s all it is. It’s about the here and now. We wasted some genuine flag potential years. Time to be present and make those memories be just that, not dictate what’s happening in the now.
