We Must Tank

[TigerPower]

omfg look at our list, if you guys think in your wildest possible imaginations that we will win a flag with it your a joke. The majority of our good key position players are ageing (i.e. bowden, brown, richo, symmonds, etc) and will get shitter each year and then retire. We didn't draft well for kpp's this draft when i warned earlier last year. We NEED to tank this year to secure our future by getting good young kp prospects, and it pisses me off that we wasted our f***ing time during the 05 and 06 season when we should of been tanking to strengthen our team, now look where we are, sure we all optimistic and everything else, BUT HAVE A LOOK AT EVERY OTHER CLUB, they think the same as us,they are optimistic too. but the harsh reality is is that we are not good enough atm to ever challenge for a flag until we get more better players. The rewolt's shultz's pattison's and hughe's wont take us there AND IT'S ABOUT TIME WE ALL LOOK AT OURSELFS AND F***ING DRAFT SOME GOOD PLAYERS FOR ONCE. we need to talk this year or it's going to be bullshit for the next 5 years.

but the harsh reality is is that we are not good enough atm to ever challenge for a flag until we get more better players.

If your list is as bad as you say it is... you wont need to tank to lose matches.

 

[Tambo]

Lmaoooooooooo ...........We must talk? you mean tank dont you?

So how would the Tigers manage to purpously tank?

Wallace would lose his position. Players will downgrade their reputation and their market value to football clubs....

So would you go to work each day purpously not putting in effort to make yourself money? Doubt these guys would either.....

like omg this is totally furstrating..

Good point...


For our sake;

Thank **** she/ he has NFI

 

[smiddaz123]

How many PP did Geelong have?

Yeh, exactly.

 

[PHX]

FFS. THis has to stop.

Can we have a "it's ok to tank from round 1, if at all" idiots board?

 

[PHX]

If your list is as bad as you say it is... you wont need to tank to lose matches.

Very true that.

ANd a Eagles AND Freo supporter. A rare sight.

 

[PHX]

we need to talk this year or it's going to be bullshit for the next 5 years.

WHat would you like to talk about?

Feeling lonely or misunderstood?

 

[_RT_]

Christ I thought I was negative about the season ahead and yet despite this, I would never call for the club to purposefully lose games and anyone who does should be carded.

 

[ToroHombre]

We will not descend to Carlton's low level.

 

[sante]

What a disgrace.

That made more sense than the opening post.

 

[paolo]

the rules will soon change anyway .we havent had a bad season yet things dont look promising but just look at beating carlton and we will see what happens from there lets not get all defeatist just yet

 

[Flashhh]

Who is this joker? 'lets tank' and the season hasn't even begun yet.

From an outside view I think that your team will (not through tanking finish) in the bottom four along with Carlton, Essendon, the Bulldogs and my team Melbourne.

The list is far below average although there are some good signs.
Defence
Thursfield will be a very good full back if/when he bulks up.
Rance (drafted at the end of last year), from what I have seen he looks OK but time will tell.
Polak, is needed in defence in my opinion. Putting him forward the old thing of 'robbing Peter to pay Paul'. He adds size and some sort of experience to the backline.
McMahon, provides some run out of defence, some dash which is needed in every side. Will need to pick up his game to set up plays like a Wojinski or a Gram.

Midfield
Proven:
Deledio
Hyde
Foley
Look the Goods:
Edwards
Polo
Connors
King
Cotchin
Jury very much still out:
Meyer
Oakley-Nicholls
Tambling

*Included the younger players who will be your future.

cbf doing the forward and rucks... bedtime

Hey TP, i can see your frustated...but hey tanking this early won't help us?, it will cost the club money in revenue(memberships,gate takings,sponsors and not mention tv coverage).Let suntan Wallace and frosty Miller see out their contracts and if were still no good... well no excuses for them when the whole football world laughs/shame them out of town.By that stage they've had 5 oct trade week periods,5ps drafts, 5 national drafts and 5years to do everything game plan etc etc... on the other hand get rid them early and they will use the old line... "we were on the right track and then you stopped us".

game plan for richmond tank for 9 years = 18 pp = flag in 2017 thats the plan i would tell the players at richmond hell they are so bad at following plans they will stuuf it up and go out and win the flag in 2008 they just cant do anything right

 

[Lehban]

my god you guys were playing finals footy in 2001 what happened?

 

[lids2004roar]

Let's talk if we have less than 3 wins by Round 14...

 

[Crumden]

From an outside view I think that your team will (not through tanking finish) in the bottom four along with Carlton, Essendon, the Bulldogs and my team Melbourne.

There are so many crap teams the bottom 4 has been expanded to 5.

As to the OP, if the current crop of young players won't take us there, adding 1 or 2 more isn't going to either. The threads on here seem to be getting dumber and dumber.

 

[Lehban]

at this stage i would focus on defence and being competive every game and if you beat finish above the bootom four that is a good result and hopefully you beat the pies or geelong to give you some confidence for the following season and who knows you may be to 8 in 2009 lets hope

 

[Equus]

Richtank?
Doesn't sound right
