Hi everybody,

I am Tiger Moz and have just signed up to be part of this forum. I love everything richmond and enjoy discussing all the current issues at the club. I hope to have some great conversations with many of you and here's hoping the forum is robust but respectable.

See you soon,
Moz
 
Hi Moz,

I am another new person on this forum. I am learning a lot about the sport myself and have only watched it for a couple of years. In your opinion, what needs to be done for Richmond to make the top 8. New coach? New defense? It seems like they are below average shooters at goal except for Tuck. I am interested in your opinion though. Have a great rest of your week!

Hi Eric,

Yeah well this is one of those conversations that could go for hours. Basically they need belief. Richmond have been down for so long that they forgot how to win. Goal kicking is also a problem that needs to be addressed. They have recruited for this and I expect to see improvement next season. Jack needs serious help! The Tiges had more scoring shots than their opposition in most games last season so it could be argued that was their biggest issue but in reality they lacked depth and link play also.

The coach also needs to become better this year. He made too many elementary mistakes but he is the right man for the job. He wasn't afraid to go backwards to go forwards when he got the job and that is no mean feat from where he was coming from.

We are a real chance for the 8 next season but a lot hinges on being better than the teams around us (most of which we play twice) and beating teams like Geelong, Adelaide and Collingwood (all at the G). We have a good draw, good depth (close to 30 players that won't look out of place at AFL level), good coaching staff and training facilities, and the playing group seem to be united and determined. If the right players hold up and the belief & confidence grows steadily we'll get there. 14-16 wins is not out of the question at all.

Cheers,
Moz

Hi Moz,

Thank you for your explanation. Even though I chose Melbourne for purposes of the forum I do root for the teams that seemingly struggle (Richmond being one of them). I hope that things work out for your Tigers.
