It seems like we always have to make excuses for things not going our way though, are we always unlucky? Or should we start taking responsibility? The only reason we were in the game is because it was Richmond and I don't rate them at all...
3 no 1s actually, but it doesn't mean stop trying to get higher picks, We have a new recruitment team now so maybe they can open their eyes and see the talent when it's there, when is the last time we recruited a Fyfe or Pendlebury? Shocking drafting would be an understatement, it's definitely coming back to bite us now!!
Concede that were not good enough internally and offload some players for higher draft picks and let Sos transform the team, we know were not getting anywhere with this list and it hurts for me to say that but year's of disappointment has proven that I think... No-one has the answer but we've been going down the same track of recruiting recycled players for a while so why not try something new! I just don't understand what were trying to do atm, make finals? Half rebuild?
Well 5-7 years is not that bad considering we haven't done much for 20, I'm not saying ditch all good senior players, but somehow try and get a few extra higher type draft picks, we've tried almost everything else, what do you think the solution is?
Well you've put a little more confidence into me, I hope those stats are relevant on friday!!Fact is the Tigers may play finals this year and did last year.. Personally don't rate them either..
But when there on they can beat any body.
We should have been nowhere near them..
Thomas goes down first minute effects the whole midfield rotation.
First off Clem smith doesn't come on for at least 10min.
Yarran played but was not fit and it was a brave effort to play out the game after that knock on the knee.
We now know KJ Played out the game with two broken ribs.
Gibbs 73% Simpson 73% Cripps 76% Carrazzo 76% Smith 73% TOG
That was just to many underdone players. We just run out of legs. Nearly all of the Tigers players played more then 80-88% TOG
On top of that.. It's the first time that core group have even played together.
An interstate trip might be a great way to get the team to bond and jell as group.
Those players mentioned above will better for the run.
Don't hit the panic button just yet.

I agree, and hopefully we can organise a forward line in the next couple of years with genuine KPFs such as Casboult (who has learned to kick somehow) and Foster or perhaps someone we trade in or draft. That way, Henderson can go back whilst still in his prime.
