Richmond urged to dump plans to recruit Gold Coast onballer Dion Prestia UPDATE: STAR Richmond utility Brett Deledio says the leadership group hasn’t been spoken to about recruiting but wants the Tigers to bring good players and people into the club. Jay Clark August 4, 2016 - 9:17AM...

It's that time of year folks, hit us with your 2021 predictions. I'm tipping Nank will finish top-5 in the JD and start to be discussed among the best rucks in the league. He had a MASSIVE finals series and I was fair dinkum drooling at the way he was routinely getting over the top of Grundy...

I'm really hoping to get down there for Jack's 300th and that snowballed into cross-referencing the fixture with our player milestone games this year...interesting reading, barring injuries derailing things it's gonna be a rolling celebration with several key matches involved and all except one...

Relocating to a QLD hub for the rest of the season. Good move, better late than never, it was the best option for a decent chance to finish the season. Hope we can make it family friendly and all our expectant fathers are looked after. :thumbsu:

We've gotta try to be proactive and creative in this area - how do we stream a virtual crowd into the 'G and do it well? Dirt cheap battery powered speakers and mobiles are decent quality these days. Perhaps the club could set up a system where they are spaced around the stadium? Dial in to...

Haven't had time to participate much this season, so mods and old Tiger comrades, forgive me the indulgence of creating a new thread, just wanted to get a few things out there in one place rather than spread them over a dozen or more existing threads and lose track of those conversations. 1)...

*Not encouraging anyone to gamble who doesn't already like a punt and if you're under 18, please bypass this thread.* Was just having a quick flip through the futures markets for the season - we are seriously juicy value everywhere. I was downright gobsmacked by the 'quinella' markets (the...

When the final week of the challenge ahead for a premiership was all set, nobody went in with a tougher task than Toby Nankervis. He knew it, and before and after all was said and done, nobody was Tiger Toughest on the day more than Nank. Can't wait to see you in your prime, big fella.

Nobody has called him that in a long time. He's Brendon now. In a suit. Harks back to a time when we watched Fitzroy implode in a way that we weren't that far from ourselves. When trades happened, most were grateful for the 'other' Gale who came to us - Michael who did all the no-frills...

If Tuck doesn't play the remainder of the season, Hardwick should be sacked for repeat offences of unforgivable football stupidity. Harsh? Biased? Well, let's look at the facts. He's fit, he's had as good a form as is possible at Coburg and been a tremendous on-field leader there (which is...

Any doubt how committed to the club Choco is? Halfway up the flanks, chalk all over his boots from running the line, screaming instructions, covering half the ground with his voice. Good to see. :thumbsu:

Probably should create my own space so I hopefully don't irritate anyone else, or interrupt other thought trains in process. ;) Firstly, bless you Aunty Joy. Your welcome really means welcome in a world where that word being spoken so genuinely, is a rare and beautiful thing. When you...

The two most successful sides in modern history have three flags to their credit - Brisbane and Geelong. A young footballer and aspirational leader who walks into the RFC and has the red carpet rolled out, needs to have a burning passion to create a Richmond dynasty which matches or exceeds...

Found these old articles the other day and I thought in the run up to the new season it would be interesting to have a thread contrasting the club and the era when we last won a flag with the current one, so please, join in and discuss these articles, add other articles, personal memories or...

Another four points go begging because of sheer stupidity. If his football brain was half as perfected as his desire to fall for man-fetishes based on pure ignorance, this club would be in a totally different place. The decision to sub Tuck's grunt - among a litany of other poor coaching...

It's not easy for anyone who understood the old Richmond, how powerful we were, how feared, to cop some of the blithe acceptance of mediocrity, failure, and complete lack of belief which flies around here most days. I am all too aware aware that this attitude stems from a complete lack of...

Did that happen? I sincerely hope we complain long and hard to the AFL, that was way beyond disgraceful.

A lot of people can list endless tactical and personnel issues which are wrong with our current midfield (you could easily fill a full length book actually), but all year I've been fumbling around trying to work out how and why things we did well tactically last year have disappeared off the...

For some months now we've had some spirited debates regarding Tuck's value to the side, his detractors have claimed he is too slow, his disposal is too poor, he offers little leadership unlike other mature players, and that his presence in the side holds back one or more juniors. Much of this...

How much longer can they keep it up? They went close to owing us 10 Premiership points tonight when they decided to sub Tuck off and leave a kid like Helbig on the ground. I really like the way Helbig goes about his football, but every time he's played a full game he's barely touched the ball...

Graham/Vickery/Rance V Leuenberger/McCauley/Clark Well, 98%+ of people would take the Brisbane trio over our three and happily throw in draft picks to get a swap done, but you have to say, our three had far more influence on the game tonight and easily outplayed them as a group. Rance has...

Surprised there was no thread already...everyone must be too involved? ;) Half time disclaimer on most of what follows: In the present I'm gutted that Jack is subbed, long term I agree with the decision because we need the great man's brain at 100% for the next 10+ years and into his 90's...

Just wondering if anyone knows how the subs will be handled, I haven't seen a proper team selection (just lists of the squad) in the pre-season, and thinking about it raised a few questions: * Will Friday and Saturday teams have their 21 players + clearly designated sub announced on Friday arvo...

Despite two very solid seasons where in many people's mind he's firmly established himself as a player, Jackson is still amongst our most heavily criticised players - 'horrible kick...bad decision maker...easily replaceable in the middle...not in our best-22 going forward' etc.. The divide...

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6301/newsid/107478/default.aspx Astbury is taking on Richo's number - handpicked to wear it by the big fella himself. Do it proud. :thumbsu:

With so much discussion on the makeup of our current and future midfield plus the new additions of Houli and Grigg (not to mention draftees), I thought it was a good time to take a look at at the stats of our midfielders and have a discussion about where they're at and how we're looking for 2011...

From what the recruiters are saying, Vlad and co. may well have ruined the comp for the next decade, minimum. I had no idea so many of the juniors they've already got were *that* good...and the article doesn't mention their zone access to the QLD and NT boys...on top of having so many...

After having dial-up since the days of 28K modems and missing out on being able to watch almost all youtube clips - Richmond or otherwise - I finally got off my arse and took advantage of the government's free satellite broadband installation offer...anyone who has been fortunate enough to have...

For the benefit of those who didn't see the game... Both sides started at breakneck speed as is customary these days, our tackling and pressure was very good with Hardwick's tactic of running in clusters paying dividends. Despite Freo giving us multiple let-offs from set shots (most of which...

Twice now Hardwick has shrugged his shoulders at the end of a game where we didn't play AFL standard football for more than 2 1/2 quarters, and said he's very disappointed we didn't run the game right out. Let's examine the facts: 1) We employ a 16+ man flood which means everyone runs their...
