 Hardwick will be the next coach sacked, the club gave him an extension to end speculation? The pressure is only going to worse. Missing the finals would have to spell the end.

Not unless Buckley beats him to it. Hardwick took over a basketcase who were as bad as Melbourne at the time. Buckley took over a top 4 side full of premiership players.

It would take a lot for McGuire to sack Buckley.

I've never rated Hardwick or the Richmond list.

Agreed re: MaGuire to sack Buckley.

The only was Buckley will be sacked will be the same way our board incorrectly sacked swooper at the end of 92'.  Just not renew his contract, they wont actually sack him.

Hardwick could be gone by mid year depending on how things play out.

Foxsports saying Pies have three easy games coming up:

'Now with games against St Kilda, Melbourne and Essendon to come, the Magpies have a chance to launch a season that looked like careering out of control at stages of last night.'

 

Now that's prescient. Crystal balls they dont have !!!!!!

DC, you are good.

I didn't predict that til the 26th minute mark of last quarter. When it was happening, I was weeping tears of joy into my cocoa.

To give you some idea of what Tigers posters are saying about the Dees on Yellow and Black, I give you this gem:

"Have Dusty rucking against Gawn - the latter will be too [censored]-scared to contest"

This is only one of a number of equally stupid comments. Let's hope the team is just as delusional

Bring it on. 150 hit outs to advantage and Dusty with knee imprints where his head should be.

hmmmm, every Richmond forum i've been on has them "crapping" their dacks and already admitting defeat. Which for us, isn't a good thing. 

We never win as favorites.

They have thrown in the towel already on Bigfooty.

I'm not nervous because I have newfound confidence in this side and if they do what they did on the weekend they will win and win well.

But we're favourites and it's two in a row. So I'm wary.

that's what worries me. Hopefully we have learned from that. I think we are a good chance to win, but a certainty? No. 

The post was not meant to suggest we are certainties, because we are far from that, but to suggest big Max is scared is insulting and wrong, and flies in the face of everything he has done this year. He will compete very vigorously and hopefully successfully. To suggest otherwise is simply silly, let alone delusional.

I think there's a different feeling around at the moment. Even what's coming out of the club and the way the players reacted to the Collingwood win. There are subtle signs that we've turned the corner. I'm not saying we'll necessarily beat Richmond, because if they bring their best footy, that'll be really tough to combat, but if they don't bring their best, I reckon we'll win and win by 5-7 goals.

LOL Dustin Martin isnt even tough

Tattoos and 'dont argues'  dont make a footballer tough.  He spends more time hovering around packs looking for cheap ball than going in hard.

Predicting ourselves to win is frought with danger. Richmond at full strength can play great footy. Having a few still out injured is a worry to us. If our boys revert to the mindset when we played Essendon then ??????????  4 hard qrtrs and nothing less may see us over the line. Attitude right now is paramount. Cockiness is the way to lose this game.

I don't recall saying we were a certainty.

IF they do the basics well like was done on the weekend, it should be enough.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves we are still yet to prove we can win 2 in a row.  We have achieved nothing

If the Essendon game knocks every last skerrick of cockiness out of us for the rest of the season ...

it's worth the loss of 4 points.

The Essendon game should serve as a reminder to the guys that a four quarter effort is required every week, or we'll get done. I'm confident they're both in form as a team and playing for each other (loved Viney and Kent having a go at Toovey after he dumped Tyson in the 4th quarter as he kicked the goal). The only thing they need to be is switched on....I'm sure a valuable lesson was learned in Round 2.

I reckon the dynamics at the club have shifted with our depth and players having to fight to hold their spot. 

With a likely two unlucky players to lose their spot (from a winning team) to allow Vince and Garlett back, the pressure to perform is now internal. 

That almost half the team are one mediocre performance away from relegation, should ensure that they are switched on.

No doubt. Preparation is the key.

Mindset when it counts.

like someone else said maybe the bummers loss was the trigger we needed

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
