Richmond. The rebuild to the 2017 premiership (Review on 2016-2017)

[Black Saab]

They might have missed the boat...players losing value each game...rebuild is definitely needed. Not good enough barely making the top 8 and then losing easily in the finals...need players who bring confidence in each other and show leadership material.

Nothing is changing with richmond while most other clubs are progressing. Fans deserve better...you need to build a list to challenge for premierships and not just barely make the finals.

Too many average players. Invest in the youth, take some courage and make hard calls before its too late.

Cotchin isn't going to lead this side to any finals glory...its doing more harm to him than any good...

Yes the fans have deserved better since 1982. This season is nothing new. The previous three were. It would be very hard for supporters of teams that consistently do well to understand the journey. Perhaps only Melbourne and possibly St Kilda supporters get it. I say possibly Saints fans because when their team came good it challenged on the last day for flags multiple times.

Collapsed seasons like this are the norm. Passionately following a club no less so than any others teams fans is constantly made painful because Richmond give their fans what most other teams don't, ongoing failure.

Until they lift, I hope the Dogs go all the way in 2016.

Lol pretty funny comment from a poster with a user name Gysberts to Bate.

We are horrible. Don't think Vickery is a star, but we have worse.

When Chaplin/Hunt are getting a regular gig you know you're cooked.

Hardwick the luckiest man in football.

I changed my username to G2B last year

You guys havent been as bad as melbourne in the last decade anyway. I just don't think this list is premiership material. Its more hope that they can make the finals and possibly do some damage rather than the actual belief they can win the flag.

Sooner jack riewoldt becomes the captain the more passion you'll get out of the players. Cotchin just doesn't seem like a leader/captain that inspire confidence in others.

I called it 7 years ago. Richmond were behind Carlton then and would remain behind Carlton with that list. Carlton have had the sensibility to rebuild. Richmond extended Dimmas contract.

 

[rezagun]

? Rance Astbury
Houli ? Vlastuin
Ellis Martin Deledio
Lennon ? ?
Rioli Reiwoldt Lloyd
Maric Cotchin Miles
C.Ellis, Menadue, Yarran, Edwards

Imo tigers lack another kpf, another kpd and 2 or 3 decent midfielders. Alot of holes.

 

[mcuzzy]

I know we're putrid, but rebuild? We have so many young and inexperienced players, most who are showing or have shown strong potential

A fit Grimes would walk into the team, pity a fit Grimes doesn't exist. Vickery is fine when he plays Full Forward, not a great ruck. Shove Kamdyn McIntosh in there aswell, runs all night, just needs to work on decision making

 

[Powerstufff]

Do the tigers need to rebuild? Im not sure they have the right list. Discuss

Have Clarkson and Hardwick swap clubs for a year, should put things in perspective.

But youth is everything, or so I have been told.

LOL.

Which club appointed Malthouse because Ratten wasn't getting the best out the list?

 

[DrEvil_]

My opinion is that they've got a quality list offset by so called 'A-graders' such as Vickery and Edwards who are in actuality just absolute trash.

No, not Edwards

 

[Hollow Sorrow]

Rance
Deledio
Riewoldt
Martin
Rioli
Lennon
Ellis
Vlastuin

Are the only ones from the Richmond list , I would keep.

Which Ellis?

 

[Smooth Banana]

But Edwards is better than Cyril!!

Wash your mouth out..

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The most overrated list in the comp. Some excellent high end talent (Martin, Riewoldt etc) but so many spuds. You simply can't carry so many and hope to be successful.

 

[zucchini]

Never seen a coach walking across the ground carrying a backpack before. And Williams next to him without a worry in the world on his 200k lol.

 

[John Bonney]

Riewoldt is stilted and one dimensional. ...
His posturing and pouty posing is an added negative to a devestated rabble

 

[Tas]

They rely too much on too few, while people bag Cotchin the second tier has just not stepped up to take some heat off of the core group and the core group is too small a group.

Need to get some quality hard nuts in there.

I don't think it's a rebuild in terms of player personnel.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

They crumble like a castle made of sand without Deledio and to a lesser extent Maric.

 

[Smooth Banana]

Bloody shame tigers picked up young Rioli, ruined it for everyone.

 

[Chronz]

They need Lids back. Wouldn't be surprised to see them win a few with him back in the team.

 

[Damon_3388]

Nah, just need to open up the war chest and land the big fish in the off season. Instant premiership contenders again.

Nek minute, Adam Treloar signs with Collingwood.

 

[zucchini]

The funniest to watch if you are feeling a bit down.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Richmond are the biggest pretenders in the league, and that's not even trolling. How anybody could rate them despite losing three finals games in a row i beyond me. They should be 0-4 if not for some poor umpiring that cost the Blues the game round 1. Time to sack dimma, oh wait they just re-signed him. I can't see them getting out of this hole anytime soon.

7 years ago was the start of our rebuild you muppet
