Ladder position

[heartbroken]

We are currently 10th.

If we finish this season above West Coast, Bulldogs, Collingwood and Adelaide, there will be an injustice in draft picks.

The only reason Richmond is above these teams at the moment is that we tend to get "run ons".

There is no way, when you compare the lists of Richmond with the teams mentioned above, that Richmond is better than these teams.

damn straight! the draft system is being shown to be unfair. richmond is the case study and the proof.

West Coast will finish above us. Forget the massive loss against the Saints, their home ground advantage will get them more wins. Infact, what better way to play yourself into form than to come up against us!

Collingwood should ovetake us, as they've played in the last two Grand Finals and have a coach with ability. That's not to say it won't happen, Mick probably has his eye on a couple of young guns and is prepared to sacrifice this season.

At the end of the day what we need is for the AFL to take a stance on draft picks based on their own discretion, and stand up and say "Richmond are a rabble and have been for years. Here are the first 4 picks, a new coach and coaching staff, and more games at the 'G."

Hopefully that silly notion of us winning games has left the minds of the players. It left mine years ago. Go for draft picks so we can get rid of some of this lot.

how true this is, but imagine the backlash from the other clubs and the media would have a field day! everybody likes us right where we are.
