I have a feeling kosi will seriously injure at least one teammate in training and will be a so so average player . Hope I’m wrong
What Is Your Expectation for 2024?

Last season Jack R, Pickett, Miller Soldo, Bauer Ryan as talls.
Mansell, MRJ, Graham, Prestia and a rotation of Clarke, Cumberland, Coulthard.
It's basically a new forward line. I hope we have more forwards in the forward line rather than overflow of mids.
How long will it take to gel?
How well does Lynch recover are my watches

Wow that’s so ambitious.Yze is the free kick man. We’ll finish first on the ladder with 15 wins and win the frees too. We can do it baby. We can farken do it
Richmond free kick differential rankings over the last 7 seasons:
2017: 18th
2018: 18th
2019: 13th
2020: 17th
2021: 18th
2022: 18th
2023: 17th
4 wooden spoons in 7 seasons. At this stage I’d be happy if we just leave the bottom 2, let alone win the free kick count.
I’d hate to see what the 50-metre penalty rankings look like.

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
we farken had a dynasty being reamed in the free kicks every week. lets see if it doesnt change this year
we can already take em to court and win over the way we were treated by the corrupt league
if we get reamed again we can take em to court and shut em' down
no other club in history has been more impressive than us 2017-2020
they robbed us of more flags too by force

drink more and you will get it
im not surprised about people (non tiger supporters) saying that we'll finish bottom 3-6 but i just can't see it happening outside of lynch & dusty going down or just lots of key injuries then i could see us finishing maybe bottom 5-6
if we dont make finals i got dibs on the sack yze thread though

Expectation is that the captain will stand up.... that means at some stage he will have to sprint 60-100 metres and figuratively smack the idiocy our of our highest potential player....Balta into permorming to his potential every minute of every game.
That intolerance of idiocy will make 35-40 other Tiges players play above the level. The blue stuff not exposed at Marvel not being our limit.
Dust cruises a Brownlow, largely as a forward (smacks history being the first forward since plugger)
In finals Dust being Dust will just melt oppo's.
If this happens Coaching and CFL will just be Sideshow Bob.

The biggest differences from last year to this year, that will affect our ladder position, is our new game plan plus how our different 'teams' gel and adapt.
Forwardline
How our forwardline works collectively around Lynch and Kozi. Will we run with two talls and a resting ruck? Will we go tall or small? Wi
Midfield
How Taranto and Hooper work in with Prestia, Dusty, Bolton, Dow, Graham etc now that they have learnt to play together and work off each others strengths. What will our ruck division look like and will our new/young rucks put enough pressure on Nank to improve our overall stoppage and movement out of defense.
Defense
How Gibcus fits in with Balta, Young, Baker and Rioli. Whether Broad and Grimes fit into the lineup. If defense is again prioritised by our head coach over attack?
For mine, as long as we can keep our better players on the park and we see growth from our younger players, I can't see any reason why we can't push back into the finals next year. My fear is that we'll slip but rationally, our list should improve. There is no reason why we shouldn't.

My definition of a rebuild is when you load up on kids and move on older guys before their time.

Most team’s best 18 - 21 is pretty easy to pick and then there is a handful of fringe players rotating through the bottom end; whereas we have genuinely 35 players who have claims to play.
This has to be a massive boost to the motivation of the squad. No more old loyalties gifting spots. Plenty of pressure coming from outside that week’s best 23.
Until he has a firm grip on who the best players for his system are, I hope Adem will tinker and not get set in his ways. I want to see players feeling pressure to hold their spot.
Personally, I think predictions of us finishing low are ridiculous. Surely we will be better.
Any premiership player feeling comfortable and not doing their maximum, especially in tough moments, hopefully will be held to a higher standard than they were.
The system may take a little while but I can see the effort being huge.

To see a clear improvement from the youngsters & build a nice cohesive system with a more attacking/pressure gameplan not expecting finals but expecting to be hard to play against win/loss hopefully Yze brings that.

I expect a real tough first half of the year with a lot of turnovers and quick slingshots back over our head. By the reports of Yze liking a corridor central game, we just dont have the kickers for that at present. Hate to say it but I would not be surprised if we get reamed by Carlton by about 40+ points.
From about mid year we will have a sharp upswing as the system gets tinkered with and the players start to temper their enthusiasm for corridor kicks and start to kick within their skill limit.
I do expect Hopper to get better next year, as well as the rest of our midfield set up. When you think about it we added 2 players to the centre bounce team and it was no wonder that they took a while to start to get effective.
I think that we will have a stronger end to the year and will most likely finish 10th - 15th.
All in all - what I really want is to see the growth of Brown, Sonsie, Banks, Dow, Cumberland, Clark and others.
Long term wish on a star - MJ comes back fully fit without a gut.

Never really been as excited about a new season. New coach, new game style, lots of young talent. Don’t know what to expect but we might be an exciting team to watch

afl has decided blooze gonna win the flag
Reality will intervene by mid-July...frustration absolutely boiling over at headquarters that it doesn't matter how many free kicks you gift in the F-50 if the recipients can't kick straight.

If Yze employs a high risk corridor game then I don’t like our chances.
Too many players who just can’t kick it well.
Oppo will have a field day scoring turnover goals.
Go on, downvote me.

Maybe...
Hard to tell if our so called bad kicking is a outcome of Dimma's Chaos Theory of Football(the programme that won 3 GF's!)
Where the strategy was get the footy up forward at all cost...regardless of how well the playas could kick...so footy kicking skills...and improvement...were on the back burner all Dimma's time at Tigerland.
Or maybe...the whole team on the whole is a team of sheet kickers...
One thing is for certain...we will find out soon enough when the games begin!

Doesn't make sense at all...when we were winning all those games in our Premiership years...we kicked beautifully!
We were great to watch!
When the tide turned agin us...white frothy maggotty tide... and we were put under pressure playing the same old same old game plan, when the The AFL Old Boys Club wanted a different style played... Of course we struggled! All our skills were exposed...happens to every side not just us!
