We have a new coach according to the H/S.(Subject-Who has what it takes to win the flag)

DAMIEN HARDWICK often talks about making it a ‘Richmond game’ and his players being ‘Richmond men’. Well, Dimma has developed a new breed of Tigers playing a damn similar way. Suddenly they are being driven by Shai Bolton, Jayden Short and Liam Baker. “They’d be three of the first players picked each week,” Harding said. “They’re really invested in this Richmond brand of football, and that’s the best bit about them – I think the style suits them and they suit the style, so it’s a credit to their recruiting guys and coaching staff to keep developing this next wave that is going to last long after the Cotchin and Martin period.” The diminishing reliance on Dusty is speckled with optimism. “There’s obviously been speculation around Dustin Martin and his future,” Harding said. “Even if he stays at Richmond, what is his best use going forward? Because they’re winning games and playing well without him dominating. It’s understandable, given his enormous weight loss at the end of last year, and his personal circumstances through the start of this year. But what will be the best way to use Dustin Martin in 2023? He’s still a great weapon, but he’ll now be able to complement other guys rather than having to be the dominant force that he has been.”

GOLD NUGGET: SHORT has gained 9.24km this year, effectively taking the Sherrin halfway from Punt Rd to his childhood suburb of Mill Park.

Who is this Dimmian Harding? Genius coach or wanna be?

If the latter then Bombers here we come.

Borderline delusional optimism aside, this match against Gold Coast will go a long way to determine how far we go this season.

Severely depleted inside midfield against the most effective inside mid combo in the AFL (Witts, Miller), no Vlastuin, no Balta.

Big game.

Well we've had our 2017 st kilda moment.

We'd be in the top four basically had we snuck home against the cats and suns.

Even then we still find ourselves in the eight with a friendly run home.

Look for our team to settle over the next few weeks as we are forced to experiment a bit more and uncover the final pieces of the 2022 puzzle.

Well we've had our fourth st kilda 2017 moment.

A big win over Freo tonight, followed up against Brissy, and we're back on track (relatively) and building momentum.

If the hunger is there, never discount them.
 
Look we are travelling pretty s**t right now. I still think we will finish 8th. Saints and dogs got some really tough games and they need upsets to leapfrog us unless we capitulate against some cellar dwellers. Have a look at ladder predictor.

Better to be playing s**t now and get to first week of the finals with a full squad and a bunch of the older players having had weeks off here and there to recharge the batteries.

4 wins in a row is all we will need. Win the elim and the Tiger train will become a juggernaut and all the other teams will s**t a brick.

If we spud it up well life goes on and put on the DVD collection over summer.

We won't go 4-0.

3-1 at best, but IMO it's more likely we will go 2-2.

We'd need a miracle turn in form and I just don't see it.

4 wins in a row was for the premiership :)

To get there we just need to not drop hawthorn and essendon we can even lose to brisbane and port. Saints and dogs have to cause upsets, which is why I'm confident we'll stagger into 8th.

11.5 wins won't get us in this year. We're gonna finish 9th or 10th unless we win all 4, which we won't IMO.
