Bragging Rights Time Capsule

[true blue19]

1- By the end of 2017 only 4 player from our 2015 list will still be on our list.
2- Cost vs reward Palmer will be the bargain recruit of the year (even better than Mitchell vs pick88)
3- Cripps and Gibbs AA (Gibbs still traded to Adelaide for Adelaides first in 2017 and 2018 2nd)
4- Pickett (will be a superstar and number 1 in the AFL for metres gained) and Cunningham to play on the wings and after a full preseason Summer to play as a HBFer.
5- finals in 2018 after a massive trade period in 2017.
6- Jaksch has a good year at Full forward.

Our best 22 by the end of 2016.

B Simpson Weitering Plowman
HB Docherty Marchbank Sumner
C Pickett Cripps Cunningham
HF Curnow McKay Palmer
F Silvagni Jaksch Wright
R Kreuzer Murphy Gibbs
INT Smedts Boekhorst Curnow Pick5

*Byrne out of the team because of injury.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Is Ben Griffiths still on their list? He's a better option than Vickery by a long long way... In fact BT, you and I are better options than Ty.... Leaving will be his greatest contribution to Richmond.

Worst footballer ever !

Ugh, can't believe I'm even discussing those delusional campaigners...

... except when he plays us.

1- By the end of 2017 only 4 player from our 2015 list will still be on our list.

Docherty, Cripps, Murphy, Kreuzer, Gibbs, E Curnow, Boekhorst, Byrne, Sheehan, Buckley, Graham, Simpson, Jaksch, Jones, Thomas, Casboult, White, Armfield, Rowe.

That is 15 players to be traded, delisted or retired by the end of next year. Which 4 are safe?

IMO there is only 3 that are 100% safe Murphy, Cripps and Docherty the fourth will be either Curnow or Byrne or Boekhorst. I think Kreuzer will look at free agency, Gibbs will try to be traded to adelaide, Simpson, Thomas, Rowe and Armfield will retire and the rest will be delisted.

Women's team will finish higher on their ladder than the men's team next season.

 

[thylacine60]

they need more time to make crippling, long-term mistakes - patience, jabhopper........

 

[El Topo]

Palmer to top our goalscoring in 2017.

 

[Chookaradley]

Carlton to finally beat Hawthorn, resulting in Bigfooty Carlton meltdown.

 

[Blues177]

2017 Richmond

 

[Blues177]

I think we will do something very unexpected and win maybe 5 of our first 10, only to then drop off with the youngsters finding it tougher and barely get another win for the rest of the season.

I remembered this comment when our season finished but at the time could not remember in which thread it was posted.

Great prediction!

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Women's team will finish higher on their ladder than the men's team next season.

I'll be more impressed if it's the same ladder.
