Nominations for the new Richmond Board

Media coverage seems to suggest the proposed new Board is underwhelming. Would have thought that would align perfectly with the playing list and coaching staff thereby finally giving Richmond members the unity and synergy they pray for.

    It also highlights how quickly things change. From finals contender one year, when everyone was talking them up and the start of the season when Tigers supporters were again looking to the season with optimism and another finals appearance. They may have been overrated and the seeds of their demise may have been seen from their list, their coaches, whatever, but not many predicted such an implosion. 

    Its a lesson that tells us that success can sometimes be fleeting and footy supporters should not get ahead of themselves. The optimism at MFC will quickly be wiped if we have a poor year under Goodwin. Injuries, players not living up to expectations, can quickly destroy a season. And when that happens things turn pear shaped.

    For all those getting a vicarious pleasure out of watching the Tigers problems, be careful what you wish for. And don't forget where Melbourne has come from. We are still a long way from getting out of the woods ourselves. 

     

    44% of teams play finals - almost half.

    Supporters need to stop thinking of finals as some sort of successful benchmark.  Richmond proves it isn't. 

    That said, I have no doubt that when we eventually get there, whether it be 2017 or 18, we'll be on the type of incline that will at least lead to a prelim.

    I have no Sympathy for the Tigers at all. 

    After their loss to Carlscum in the 2013 finals that was when the Dumb Bastards should have realized it wasn't going to get better. Carlscum didn't even make the 8

    But Runt Road did nothing and recruited the bare minimum

    They were arrogant and stupid and now it has exploded

    Entertainment....

    Losers mentality Pro or just realistic given a long period of hopes and dreams and disappointments?

    OD is not on the current playing list so you can hardly call him a loser. He is a long time supporter like the rest of us who desperately want success before we die. We are prepared to concede that it is possible we will not win a flag.  Of course we want a flag but if we don't we want success.

    Talking about winners and losers as if there is no in between is the dumb bit. 

    You call an athlete that makes an Olympic final or wins a silver or bronze medal a loser?

    I don't think your dumb but seriously if this is your proposition I will have to reconsider.

    Irony.

    Your analogy of silver or bronze in the Olympics is silly.  Being the second or third best in the world in no way equates to making the eight in AFL.  

    I agree that success "can" be relative, but merely graduating to finals is fool's gold.  We played finals in 6 of Daniher's 10 years and if you think that in any way equated to success then we read from a different handbook. 

    In our relatively small national competition the only real success is a premiership.

    That's "Sliding Doors" Adolf. He sold a few paintings in his youth and never went to jail, never wrote his manifesto, and never got into politics.

    But he still had an urge to wreak havoc. Hence "Focus on Footy".

    Well Pro if your only measure of success is a flag, does that mean that we have a team of losers and that we support a bunch of losers and indeed we supporters are losers. Sorry we do have a different handbook.

    There are degrees of everything, but the only real success in the AFL is a premiership.  Pretty self-explanatory I would have thought. 

    If you want to label those who fall short of that mark "a bunch of losers" that's up to you.

    Richmond must be prepared to offer Prestia $800k a year for 5 years to get him to that rabble.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
