We made the decision two years ago when we let all our premiership players be traded. This is the most obvious thing ever. Load up on high picks before Tassie comes in.
We are already two years deep into this strategy, and will obviously continue it this year.
We could still stuff it up...
Saw enough in the rookies to be optimistic for the future. Not sure about Yze but at this stage I don't care.
I think the AFL are muppets and all the media are useless arse lickers.
Daffy refused to hand over the match ball that was won by a richmond supporter because it was the ball used in his last game. Then went and played for Swans.
We are in a multi-year pre season. This is how the new AFL works. I really don't care right now. Maybe 2 years from now it starts getting important.
You watch when the penny drops and we hit another glory patch. Meanwhile bummers still won't have won a final and blues overtake our flag drought.
Anyone worried about the rebuild need only wander over to the bummers or Carlton board.
Those clubs aren't even rebuilding yet.
We are 5 years ahead of those bozos even if we are getting flogged right now. We still have the experience and the culture to contend in a few years. They are...
Dunno what some of the sooks on here expected with the game yesterday (and our year). It may as well have been a practice match. Just like when we were "the worst side since Fitzroy" in what was it, 2010?
Imagine being the Bummers, they have so much pain in front of them and no way out.
Didn't watch the second half, probably a good thing.
I saw a few good things. Freo didn't look a top 4 team at all.
We're tracking the early Hardwick era. I don't like to lose but we are probably ahead of the other shit teams in the direction we're heading.
Sorry for lurk posting, i'm just here to see if Phillipou is going to play or not.
Guy on the Richmond board a few years ago won the entire comp, 50k. He stopped posting not long after lol.
This thread is going off the rails a bit. Geelong were shattered that we took him. I liked what I saw as a rookie. Hell, Edwards did **** all for about his first 100 games. Rance was useless for about 50 and was the scion of a weagles legend.
Not all players track straight line development...
