Richmond havent figured in any grand finals and havent won any cups at all.
And in three or four years saints would have put a premiership or two on that list what would you have done???????
Please just let us teach you? for your sake.
Imbecile. Decades of being embarassed and finishing not only NEAR the bottom of the ladder, but right on the bottom has been all but forgotton down there by the mindless. Don't you realise that West Coast and Adelaide have had DOUBLE the premiership success in their short careers than your clubs entire lifetime. And no-one with any functioning mindset counts night grand finals as anything apart from adding a little bit of coin to the end of season trip.
But back to Richmond, there doesn't seem to be any method at all coming out of the backline. All the play seems to be focused on getting the ball from the midfield to the forward line. However, we have not had enough control of the footy in this area to be able to complete this play. The disposal from the backline is woeful, and although AK has been defended, the fact is his footskills are only mildly superior to his brother (one of the worst kicks in AFL/VFL history). Gaspar's are not much to rave about either, and we all know Bowden doesn't mind missing a target. However, I don't think their lack of skill would be so blatantly obvious if there was some structure or plan/s devised of getting the ball out of the backline, rather than chipping it to each other randomly without any real idea of how to get it up forward.
