Have Richmond passed North and west coast

[Chip Scab1]

Their stats are nothing alike.

The tigers players AFL stats are miles ahead of anything Whitlock showed.

Sorry it's 2025, not 2017. Time to wake up and realise you're shit, not going to get better for 3-5 years (at least).

Who gives a ****, we don't want George Foreman, he's ok but we don't need another scrubber.

 

[Aido97]

You said all the Tigers kids have shown 100 x more.

ALL.

Is Smillie not a Tigers kid?

Was implying the ones who have played. Genuinely ******ed take

 

[Aido97]

To who? I have no idea who your talking about.

We have injured players who have played 0 games who have more talent than EVERY kid you have.

So we ****ing should, we've been doing this since 2018.

Ok champ. Sounds like a really cool story. Can’t wait to hear the next chapter

Trading pick 3 for Whitlock was a massive blunder. Just admit it and move on

 

[Obeanie1]

And if eagles lose Reid & Baker they finish 18th

Richmond is in no hurry for Smillie to play in 2026

We are in year 2 of a rebuild not year 5

Great to see more Tigers posters being more pragmatic on where their team is at the rebuild.

Adrian, your take was so much worse... here, I'll spell it out for you (just so you know for next time):

Norf

Sheezel
McKercher
Curtis
Wardlaw
O'Sullivan
Comben
Hardeman
Powell
...
Duursma
Goater
George
Whitlock
Dawson
..
Dovaston*
Archer
Trembath
Goad*
Harvey
Thredgold*

Led by Xerri, Larkey and LDU (26-27).

SOSmond

Cumming
Hammies
George Foreman

Led by T-Shirt Tom Lynch.

I can't even do a top 10 for you blokes, do you even have 10 good kids?

How was it a blunder?

2 x KP players in a position of need versus 1 x balanced mid North have covered already.

They missed out on Grlj. Or another single choice in a weaker draft.

Time will tell but I don't see it as a blunder at all ATM. Makes sense what they did and got two quality talls.

 

[Obeanie1]

You said all. Not all players who have debuted.

And the conversation was about Whitlock who hasn't played yet.

So it was a pretty ******ed take saying ALL Richmond players are 100x better. But really meaning only the ones who have played. So not all.

Yes he has.

I asked you the question, who the hell are you referring to?

Happy to discuss opinions after getting the actual facts out the way. You seem happy enough to conflate the two.

It's ok just to say you got it wrong, Richmond are likely in Norfs wilderness for about a decade. Get used to it. Sorry.

Yes he has.

Yeah he played a few games.

 

[the big lebowski]

Yes he has.

That list of Norf players proves my point. Miles away from it.

Whitlocks no good and they could have had Xavier Taylor or similar in this draft. No one would force them to take who Richmond took. They still have huge holes in their entire list they can’t be giving away good picks for mediocre ones

Whitlock has played (incredibly poorly)

 

[tiger_tough]

Can we all just shut the **** up about Whitlock??

It’s fine you are hoping the tiges are shit but reality suggests they will bounce back far quicker than Norf. Reminds me of the dees circa 2010 puffing how much better their list was than the tiges

I'm not a doubting-Tiger. I agree you will be better at it than us (how could you possibly be worse?), just this is a little different to the last time you did it successfully. Not for one moment saying it can't be done, just likely to take a year or 3 longer due to Tas. If Tas wasn't a thing, it would 2-4 years, can see it being 6-9 unfortunately.

Why? We already have 10-11 early picks in the door over the last two years equivalent of 6 years down the bottom. The bones are there. Just need to get games into them and will strategically add to what we have with additional picks next year and free agents

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

If richmond finish 13th it would be an incredible effort.

My guess is they win less games in 2026 than they did in 2025

Don’t know about that. Their kids have got another preseason into them and many of their veterans are still capable.

Similar thoughts with west coast.

 

[the big lebowski]

Whitlock has played (incredibly poorly)

100 times worse than the tigers players apparently

If you keep repeating it, maybe someone will believe you

The trade actually wasn't a blunder... Them not winning games they should have hurts, but its the calculated risk they took

They traded there first for Whitlock... on the assumption they'd win 8-10 games... which when you take out the academies and father sons, would have been pick 15-20... They knew it was a compromised draft, and backed themselves in..

If thats the player they highly rated, and saw him as the equivalent of pick 15-20 this year, and got Dovaston with our pick.. then its an ok trade. But also one that wont be known until 2-5 year's.

He's a first year player... who has solid VFL form, which you refuse to acknowledge even though you claim he was shit there. You stuffed up, and instead of just saying whoops and moving on, you desperately continue to double and triple down.

He's a first year forward, and will develop over time, your obsession with him and this hill your dying on is tragic.

The worst thing is your stupidity and making me defend North after spending the whole season wishing them nothing but pain and suffering .

Delusional, honestly. Your actuality is your BNF and that shows you where you're at.... ie: worse than nowhere.

Again, who cares, you probably have colour photos of your last flag.

Streets ahead of our VFL Defender who cost us George Foreman. Ok. I love reading these delusional posts about Richmond's rebuild. You'd assume they are professional AFL list rebuilding company with how knowledgeable and certain about things you can't be certain about.

I assume they spend their days working in admin/site management for Religious Entrepreneurs.
