Coach Richmond under Adem Yze

[Mr.X]

Yze looking like tigers will get around 5 wins this year, which is decent progress

The6 have some quality youth coming through too

 

[FrustratedTiger]

Taking today's game out of it (it was putrid to watch), I'm enjoying his game style. It's entertaining to watch. If half of these young kids make it, we'll be right up there again

Winnable game against Dons.

They are on the right track

 

[Mr.X]

Even if he is a great coach, its unlikely he survives a rebuild this size.

Tigers are realistic on this.

Lynch likely finished after today’s haymaker which gives Yze more time to bring new players through

Pathetic response from Yze Re: Lynch.
Who gives a **** if he's getting double teamed, Adem.

Man up and call it out for what it was. Your player lost the plot and then acted like a grub.
Seeking clarification.... Pissweak.

Yze's not wrong. Take it you didn't watch the whole conference though

You don't have a clue what you are talking about mate, Yze is already playing the players that are available.

Which is good cause puts time into some younger players

They’ll take something from today’s list to a contending side.

Another good draft hand will see results in a couple of years

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Couldn’t be more positive.
Enjoyed this season so much.

 

[Gavin Excell]

On the right track
I like Tigers willingness to have a crack and play positively
Coach is going ok

They're older than everyone thinks. Over 25 years on average per week.

Teams like North Melbourne, Essendon, Gold Coast, Fremantle, Adelaide . . . they only have 3 or 4 players aged 28-29 and then two 30+, and no more.

Richmond this year ranked 16th for games experience and 15th for age (at 24.9, ahead of Essendon 24.8, Freo and West Coast 24.7) for teams they put out on the park.

 

[Rich01]

You play upwards of eight 28+ year old's every week.

8+ every week? No.

 

[darcytiger]

You play upwards of eight 28+ year old's every week. This holds your team in decent balance. Unlike those others teams, their best players are all under that age bracket and that is why there are regular fluctuations in output.

Hopper, Nankervis, Broad, Vlastuin, Presita, Short. You can probably put McIntosh in there as well.

Coincidentally, your most expensive player is no longer one of the best and is very much replaceable.

I think that’s a good thing. Protects the young kids and they don’t have to do it all themselves, gives selection integrity. Would rather rebuild on the run so to speak than clear out and have 16 twenty year olds like the Dees of early 2010s with Trengove and Scully as captain.

 

[Ralll]

Yze has finally changed to a more attacking style of late and the team is responding well.
It bodes well for when Smillie, Armstrong, Lalor, Gibcus, Taranto, Lynch, McAuliffe and Campbell are all fit, + 2 top 5 picks in next seasons draft.

You say the same shit with different words in every single Richmond thread. Obsessed campaigner.

 

[Andyy]

I am not implying it's a bad thing. Just pointing to the fact Richmond aren't as guttered in their rebuild as what we think. They are following a similar path to Geelong. Turning over older legs as the years roll by.
Of course, a lot of luck is needed as you have to ensure you nail a lot of draft selections and hope they emerge into best 22 material.

You are correct.

It appears the club has appropriately traded out players with value, retained some mature heads to steer the ship, and obviously gone and hit the draft.

Our best players are all in the older bracket and if we're got it right this will change in the next 2-3 years to the crop of draftees.

Lynch is on the fat side of a back-ended deal that probably resulted in an extra flag or two, good for us. Was the same with Dusty. Perfect time to be over-paying someone, when you're full of draftees.

Dunno why people argue about these facts.

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

Insults galore.
Try again

He's not wrong

Actually to Tiger fans you're saying "I've just worked out what the RFC 's plan is". We knew this end 2024.

What we did mid-2024 seems to have been a complete about face from 'we can win another one', to 'let's do a complete rebuild whilst we still have enough good leaders who'll be around to mentor our new draftees'. We knew there were some players we could trade out for great returns in a very deep draft, without screwing the depth of quality mature leaders. We did that to get maximum return. With the 2021+ draft crop the RFC knew that they would have a solid mature leadership group, to protect the young guys and add that core to the team, and a deep group of younger players coming into their AFL quality (Miller, Brown, Banks etc) and space to play the new draftees.

It seems that the Tigers are the first club to deliberately do this sort of rebuild. Normally clubs hit rock bottom, then slowly go the rebuild. So most non-RFC supporters think that the club must have a gutted list of mature leaders, especially after the trades last year. Nah, it has been planned that the squad would be a young developing list. But one where the best young kids don't have to play full on AFL. Well, our new KPFs have done incredibly well. Anyway, the logic is to rapidly develop a young group that doesn't have the early issues rebuilding clubs normally have. In 3 years the club should have a young squad of solid experience with quality across all lines. And these young players will have been mentored and protected by really good leaders, who know how to win premierships. A fair bit of that group will still be playing with the young group.

So all going well the Tigers will 'suddenly' get much better around 2028+. The squad will be young, with 50+ games each and there are potential A graders in all lines, a good to very good spine. And we have more than enough $ to buy in players to fill holes or get A grade talent if available.

All going well. Which rarely happens. But it is a plan, not a hope.

The good thing about all of the older guys on Richmond's list is not just that they are experienced veterans, but that they are multi premiership winning veterans. I've wondered about this a bit. They know how to train and play to win at the highest level. Excellent types to help develop and transition the new, young group.

 

[Mr.X]

Tigers aren’t as bad as they results are saying, they are down on confidence and look like they want the season to end

With another good draft and trade hand, it should turn around quickly

 

[Mr.X]

He's doing some things right, but on-field the team is struggling to hold it all together for a full four quarters.

Hopefully he improves as a coach and the youngsters show natural improvement. It will be slow, especially if we lose some or all of Baker, Bolton, Graham, Rioli but it's the only way at the moment. I think he'll definitely coach into 2026 at least.

He’ll likely be there in 2027 too, that’ll be when they are on the up
