Remember when that guy was arguing that we hadn't improved since Coburg. Lulz

Helps finally having a squad of 42+ Ok players

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Young and Batsanis are mile better players than Valenti.

 

[DrMike]

Also if that's how we're going to line up that's going to be interesting to watch, particularly with Helbig

 

[_DBF_]

Anyone going? I probably will.

I just hope Grigg doesn't get too many touches.

 

[DrMike]

I just hope Grigg doesn't get too many touches.

He's above this level, if he doesn't get 20+ I'll be disappointed (depending on game time)

Yeah i wrote that too but then it deleted somehow and i was too lazy it to write it again.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Reckon Banfield Darou &Williams will continue their improving form
McBean at CHF is interesting- keen to see how that goes if he actually plays there

We should get Good games from OH, McDonagh Griff and Elton to show us there are pressing for AFL call up

We are on a role and Tim Clarke is doing an excellent job in our first season...finals beckon!
Go tigers

It's dumb but Grigg isn't a bad player, he just doesn't put all the effort in that he should, same reason people get angry at Vickery

Hopefully the coaches will be making Grigg focus on that side of his game more

I agree he was brilliant in 2012. I'm just fed up with his efforts.

 

[TerraTiger]

I'll likely go unless very poor weather.

 

[DontArgue4]

Might go just to see knightsy

We haven't improved much. Still shite. How many AFL standalone or aligned sides are below us on the VFL ladder???

LULZ indeed

LULZ indeed

Not sure what any of that has to do with us not being as bad as coburg days? How many stand alone teams were below us then? In fact how many teams were below us full stop. Usually we win about 3 games, we have won 5.5 with 3 winnable games to go and a couple of the top teams as well. Much improved on yeh coburg days.

[tigs2010]

Lol.

What I was getting at was we are better than when we were aligned to Coburg. Doesn't mean we are any good.

Read this article a bit earlier and saw this:

"The brothers know that the only chance of them playing together is if Luke gets drafted or Reece gets dropped.

While Luke has enjoyed the step up in class, he's more hopeful than confident of ever having an AFL career."

For those who've been watching, how does Luke go? Is he someone who might make it into the AFL one day?

Also, a bit off topic but interesting from Reece:

Reece ignored overtures from WA last season and signed a contract that will keep him at Richmond until the end of 2016.

He is determined to achieve success at Tigerland.

"The club itself is what I wanted to stay for. I think Richmond is going to have some success in the next few years and I'm loving being here," Reece said.

"I'm not ready to go back to Perth yet. The last three or four weeks have proven we're a finals contending side. The next few years will see a steady rise in development."

Does this mean he might consider/has hopes to head back to WA one day?

As someone from Perth, who has lots of mates leave for Melbourne, the general thought is that Melbourne is a great place to go and have fun, but Perth is a better place to raise a family. I'd assume that's what he means.

RFC_Official - FYI, the Richmond Calendar has this game at 2pm

Thanks TerraTiger for spotting it

Not a chance. He's played better than I tought, but he's short and slowish and doesn't have elite skills.
