    List Mgmt. Not feeling great about this rebuild…

    Hey all, haven’t been online as much recently but checking back in again now that the season is almost underway. I know how negative this sounds but not feeling great about the rebuild. Get the feeling we’re gonna be down for a while… 2021 Draft - We had 5 picks in the top 30 Gibcus: Was...

    Toast Make sure you get to Riewoldt and Cotchin's final game

    MAKE SURE YOU GET TO THE GAME Doesn't matter if you have a hangover, gastro, covid, a mate's wedding, your own wedding, you have to get to this game. Let's give Jack and Cotch 2017 Prelim Final level vibes for their last game. Seriously, just get there. Spread the word to anyone you know, put...

    Opinion Worth stopping with the “dud, delist” joke?

    Hey all, Not sure if it’s isolated to our board but reckon we should stop with saying “Dud. Delist.” when we get new players? It’s an in-joke here but imagine a guy like Coulthard knows of big footy, checks in quickly to see fan reactions of his drafting, only to see the above? Just a thought…

    Analysis Carlton - Has there ever been a team with as many traded-in players?

    (Preface: This post ended up way longer than I intended) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Never made a post on the mainboard, howdy and hope all are well. This may have already been brought up before and if so I apologise. I should mention that I'm not taking...

    Analysis Richmond Injuries and Media Commentary

    The timing of this is pretty funny for me... https://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/968268/setting-straight-the-great-richmond-injury-myth Only yesterday I was debating with a friend that the commentary around Richmond's "charmed" (actual word used multiple times by media) injury run has gotten to...

    Analysis Have we messed with our structure/positioning too much?

    Hey all, I'm not too phased about the loss to Sydney be honest (I didn't get to watch it though), it ended up being a weird weekend for footy with lots of blowouts too. We also always start the season much more "leaky" defensively than later in the year when we are much harder to score against...

    Unpopular opinion (potentially) - Australian cricket has always been average...

    This may be shot down hard, then again maybe it won't be... We're currently looking pretty shite as a Test side and despite having what is (was?) ranked the No.1 bowling unit, we're really just an average team outside of Pat Cummins, then Smith and Labuschange in the batting. FWIW btw, I have...

    Opinion An idea for zones

    Hey guys, Still sinking in that we're triple Premiers :) Just watched the highlight packages for 2017, 2019 and 2020 all in a row. If you haven't done it I suggest you do - it helps 2020 feel more like a proper Grand Final, given it felt a bit odd being at night and not at the 'G. Amazing, love...

    Josh Hazlewood

    Just posted this in the live thread but I strongly believe his run up is too long. He basically falls into his bowling action and, despite the long run up and 138/140km pace, he bowls a pretty "soft" ball. I'd prefer to see a shorter run up and see him stand taller at the delivery, really bang...

    Opinion Starting Positions

    Hey all, just interested to start a discussion (if not one available already) on what people think of starting positions. We all know rule changes are coming. One I hope they do not bring in is the last touch out of bounds. Was woeful, horrible, disgraceful to watch in NAB 2012 (or was it...

    Analysis Our Best 22 ?

    Hey guys, Was thinking about this today and, though we still have work to do in areas, I wondered what people see as our best 22 for the rest of the year? It's looking good but there are tough decisions to make given certain players need to miss out. Personally I feel we could still use...

    Toast Brett Deledio

    We'll never know what led to him leaving but **** I wish we still had him now, lining up with us in the Grand Final. Let's just take a proper moment to remember what a champion he was for us: Cheers for everything Brett, you're a champion :)

    Prediction Finals 22

    What do you want our finals 22 to look like guys? Do we continue with both of Castagna and Butler? Does Broad hold his spot? Do Conca and/or Griffiths get back in after 2 VFL games? Does Hampson get in? I want this side, based on form and fitness (Graham and Townsend are just assumptions but...

    Analysis New Best 22 thread

    Thought I'd start up a new best 22 thread since I love doing a 22 and I couldn't find the old one. So yeah, BigFooty Tigers, what do you think is our best 22.... OR what 22 would you like to see run out? --- This is a 22 I'd like to see run out one match this year. I know some have knocks on...

    Analysis Gameplans and Footballers

    There is always a lot of mention about our gameplan not being very good, inferior to say Hawthorn's and all that. I must absolutely suck at analysing footy cause I have no idea what anyone's gameplan is supposed to be. So first I wanna ask: Can anyone tell me what IS, or what they believe is...

    List Mgmt. Let's do Blair Hartley's job for him

    We all have some pretty good opinions on here and I reckon collectively we could manage a list pretty well. It's clear we need a lot of new players. If I was to take a stab at it, I reckon we need 2 Very good midfielders, preferably big bodied, 1 Ruckman, 1 Key back and 1 Key forward. So 5...

    List Mgmt. Michael Barlow - Let's Get Him

    There are for and against arguments, no worries. But I say get Barlow for sure. I made a long post in the "Season Over - Where to from here?" thread outlining what I reckon we should do over the rest of this year to get us ready for 2017. And I reckon getting Barlow would be very good for us...

    Roast Cousins' Last Game

    Roasting the shit fri*ggen umpires. I've brought this moment up before, but now I've finally been able to watch a replay through the AFL Live app and I'm pissed. Round 22, 2010 vs Port Adelaide. Ben Cousins' last game. We technically hit the front in an epic, stand-shaking comeback and they...

    Analysis Back to Basics

    * Possibly too similar to other conversations, merge or close if you like. Otherwise discuss. * I'm not gonna harp on about bad recruiting and bad coaches. We could recruit better, yes, and I'd love some new recruiters myself. We might just be unlucky and other clubs get players earlier than...

    List Mgmt. Reece Conca must stay !

    I'm sure it's not popular with everyone but please cast your minds back - Conca was a very good player for us when added to Deledio Cotchin and Martin. He has had absolutely no preseason or luck since the 2013 final. So do not judge him on anything since then (except for the Hawthorn game last...

    List Mgmt. Vickery to first ruck

    It's been discussed a bit no doubt, but I reckon Vickery should be first ruck. He isn't a Goldstein or Natanui but few are... he'd still be better than half the first ruckmen in the comp. I've always liked his work around the ground too and he can still push forward and kick a couple of goals...

    Hire Paul Roos

    I reckon Richmond should hire Paul Roos for 2017. It's a little reactive, yes, but he has done good things at Melbourne and would be very good for us. Pretty sure Simon Goodwin takes over head coaching next year so we should get Roos as an assistant to Dimma. Thoughts?
  25. RobsJourney

    READ THIS DIMMA!

    I made a point in the autopsy thread about us playing players out of position. You see Adelaide draft Matt Crouch and they play him right in the guts. We plonk Vlastuin in a pocket. This is NOT just about Vlastuin. We have totally stuffed around with structures and players positions and I...

    You know what...

    ...I just love how we play. Simple as that. Sometimes it looks bad, but gee sometimes it's awesome. If we had upgrades on 3 or 4 of our players, shit we would be an awesome side. Carn the Tiges!

    Our turnaround

    I'm really reticent to get too far ahead of myself/ourselves but you know what heck it, sometimes you gotta live in the moment. Tonight I rocked up to my mates' joint downstairs to watch it with my friends here in Japan, loaded up on maccas and was prepared to sit back and have a laugh as we...

    AFL symbol

    Hey fellas, feel free to close this thread after the question has been answered. I've noticed on the Hawks jumper that the AFL symbol is a golden colour where it would normally be red. Is this because they are last year's premiers? Cheers
  29. RobsJourney

    Can't stand ya!

    Hey fellas posting this mostly in the hope that someone at the club reads the forums. Time to drop Morris and elevate Castagna, give him a crack in the backline. Or even give Dea one last crack in Morris's backline role, and play Castagna as the other running back alongside Houli.

    Richmond Season Launch

    Hey fellas, back from Japan for a week and had the awesome privilege, thanks to Dad shelling out on Inner Sanctum Memberships, of going to the Richmond Season Launch this eve. Got a couple of photos with Dusty and Richo which I will post asap, but I'll just list a couple of things here. Before...
