No need to go so defensive mate, but please brother stop making up storys.
Our injuries, we had 8 of our best 10 players missing for an average 8 weeks at the start of the year, we have had first choice 22 players not playing all year, so to suggest we have had no injuries is laughable. I also would take finishing 5th with a starting 22 that is only 4-6 months older, thats with newman playing as we do have a bright future. I know you dont want to face the reality but you have missed the last two finals campaigns, we have not. You use age as an excuse but our finals side is not that older then yours, in fact, and I am using facts, the age of our 22 with c Ellis and Manadue is actually younger. Just compare the age of the 22 that beat the pies when we first played this year.
Now you mention Premerships, you have not won a flag in a long, oh so very long time now. The reality in the last 10 years, you have not been any closer to a flag then us. You mention win a prelim, well if you want to talk flags I can point out we made a prelim in 2001

Now it looks like I hit a nerve, when I just mentioned the Tigers are as a attractive or even more so for Adam to choose Tiger land as a home. So no need to pot me, its my opinion as you have yours. No need to be childish and say richmond sux 111. Lets keep on topic.
For the record I believe the pies are 50% to get him. We are at 45% and the Blues 5%
