Roos to coach the tigs?

Ross Lyon might do another runner for the right price. 

Would love to see him build false hope at Punt Rd before inevitably burning it to the ground.

Pies smashing the low flying mob will be enough to satisfy the pies brains trust that Buckley is OK to stay.

They do need someone experienced though, i wonder if the Pies or Tigers would appeal to someone like Bomber Thompson 

Choco?

Choco? May have some health issues to prevent taking the top job.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Choco is Martin's babysitter, way too much on his plate to coach. 

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Either way i think the Tigers are in need of a re-build.

Richmond are a mess and as Clint alluded to they won't play finals.

Pies MCG - loss

Adelaide MCG - 50/50

Eagles WA - loss

Dees MCG - loss

Port MCG - loss

Hawks MCG - loss

Sydney MCG - loss

Freo WA - loss

Bombers MCG - win

North BA - loss 

Suns MCG - win

Lion MCG - 50/50 with Beams and Rocky 

Port AO - loss 

Bulldogs E - loss 

Bombers MCG - win

Hawks MCG - loss

Giants SPOTLESS - loss

Pies MCG - loss 

Cats MCG - loss

Saints E - 50/50 they are now mentally shot

Swans SCG - loss

 

They are in massive trouble, and they just extended Hardwick's contract to stop this kind of speculation. I am aware they beat Hawks/Freo/Port/Sydney last year but I don't think this will be the case this time around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another one ticked off. 

Next 3 weeks 

HAWKS

SWANS

FREO

Hardwick must be sacked.

70,000 members and a capacity crowd of 27,000. 

What will cost more, paying him out or losing members??

I hope Dimma won't run with they can make finals this year. 

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

It's an affront to talk about other teams delusions after what we served up today.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Tigers are in a world of hurt and i think they're going to have to make a move on Dimma sooner rather than later, they expected to be competing for a premiership this year and they'll be fortunate if they aren't bottom four the way things are looking at the moment. 

I think they should Sack Dimma and get a whole new coaching panel in, begin a full re-build

Trade guys like Lids, Maric and co to get some first round draft picks. they still have Rance, Cotchin and Rewoldt who they can build a young team around. 

Lids would be a fantastic get for a team in contention and probably worth a decent pick.

Maric would be handy at the MFC to give us some ruck depth

I'm under no illusion as to where we are at. 

I just have a strong dislike for all things associated with Richmond.

Only 27000 of the so called tiger army could be bothered tonight. 

Port had some handy players not playing too.

Deledio is on another planet if he thinks their current list can win a premiership.

What Richardson fails to admit is that Maric, Houli, Rance, Grigg, Hampson and Chaplin were all traded in to the club and it was successful. It got them into successive finals. 

Then they changed tack and haven't brought anyone in except for Yarran in the past 2 years.  They thought that pick 12 in the draft would get them into final 4 contention.

They only have themselves to blame.

I still submit that was probably Richmond's best game for the year.  They were up for that one.

They were beaten before they even ran out against Port with Rance missing and they played that way.

Seems not - their aim was to be good enough to make finals knowing it wouldn't get much better.

Are they delusional? Check out this post from BF;

Even at our lowest ebb we could usually manage close to 20,000 against interstate clubs. Richmond fans should never be allowed to live it down.

Their alleged 600,000+ fans, and 60,000+ members, who are allegedly so passionate and durable and devoted and 'tiger army' blah blah blah...

They've had an absolutely corker of a fixture for getting bums on seats so far this season. The season opener against Carlton, friday night against Collingwood, Anzac Day eve against Melbourne.

We'll see how they look for crowd numbers after fixture reality kicks in - Rnd 8 Swans, Rnd 10 Bombers, Rnd 12 Suns, Rnd 14 Lions.

It's a shame we don't play them again late this year, I'd go just to taunt the fans for being even softer than their team. But not to worry, all chances suggest they'll be even worse next year, so we can bury them then.
