They won't do it this year mate, might as well make it 26.

They'll give ninth a good shake.

Anyway, I don't buy it when Pagan says our players are giving it their all. Commitment and effort is everything in footy. If we were trying as hard as Pagan says we are, we wouldn't be holding up the ladder for the 3rd time under his reign.

No doubt we all love his excuses, but eventually people have to take responsibility for failure. That time is long overdue for Dennis, and no amount of entertaining cliches will divert attention this time. To his credit though, he has fooled the media into thinking our team is below VFL class, and just winning a quarter of AFL footy is a remarkable effort.

Well said.

All of us have heard Pagan speak - he is simply uninspiring and too ready to make excuses. In Parkin's day if the boys were dropping you would hope for the quarter time, half time or three quarter address of the coach. These days they come out worse from the breaks - The coach address seems to rob us of our motivation and I find myself hoping that the quarters were longer. Pagan should be where he wants to be, off watching his race horses! He should leave the job to someone who has an ounce of passion for the navy blue jumper and who can instill that in the players when he needs to!

It is true that the coach is not responsible for everything on field - like skill - but the coach has to be held accountable when there is a question of passion and desire! If Sticks can evince the desired response from the boys then the coach should be able to get something out of them. Wallace inspires, Pagan excuses.

We're not that bad. Lots of promising young kids and browny, coghlan, newman, thursfield, to come in next year. Cheers!!

Yep and a bucket of KP youngsters to help you make finals and GrandFinal, no doubt.

lol at these deluded carlton ****wits

we ripped you guys a new one

we finished bottom in 2004 and it was the worst feeling in my entire life, glad you guys can have that honour on a annual basis

Ah the joy of the Richmond supporter - the fair weather friend - who keeps company with his Sydney and Melbourne brethren! Enjoy the win, as we all know you will be nowhere to be seen when your Tigers lose, for that is the way of the Richmond supporter!

Do we really need KPP's surreyboy? How did yours go on the weekend? Who are they again?

Cant work out why C.Bryan doesn't play that much for you guys, would love him to be a back-up for Simmonds. The guy can mark, moves well & his disposal is reasonably good of what I have seen of him especially for a guy of his size.
With the likes of Murphy & Gibbs leading your midfield in the future & kicking it to Fev & Waite, I would think you guys are about to start moving up the ladder & hopefully the Tigers & the Blues can battle it out in the finals in the not to distant future.

Because Pagan is D**K - He should have been playing all year instead of McLaren.
