Robbo's top 50 has dropped, remember this one is on potential for the upcoming year.

Tigers featured:

39 Bolton
38 Lynch
35 Short
25 Vlastuin
21 Grimes
1 Martin

Article mentions Balta was in the cut of 70 and Prestia missed because of injury.
So after 10 years , 3 flags in the best defence in the caper Robbo looks in his crystal ball and predicts Grimes and Vlaustin will be in the top 50 players in the league for the first time this season , got an eye for talent does Robbo

If I was Robbo, I’d be cursing Sheahan for ever coming up with the top 50 concept. It doesn’t matter who he picks or in what order, there will be hordes to complain about it. I’m sure a lot will whinge about the Martin rating. Is he the first Tiger to ever get the no 1 spot?

It's hard for the average footy journo to get the noggin around. Firstly it's Richmond, secondly some of the best players in the comp don't need to touch the pill 35 times.

I haven’t watchEd or read anything Robbo is involved in in years, however I do agree , on hiding to nothing on this one, just someone’s opinion that will give people something to whinge about.

The Herald Sun predictions are out and David King and Mark Robinson both have Richmond premiers and Tom Lynch leading goal kicker.

We're doomed.

Won't make the 8.

Bugger. In order to now win the premiership we need to do the almost impossible. Prove David Kings predictions right. Going to be our hardest premiership win now, up against it.

Ralph should only comment on possible trades and contracts........embarrassing when he actually try’s to talk about the game itself , it’s a bit like myself and the English language

Sunday Footy Show, once again, missed our game. Last week and this week (and maybe previous ones as I only decided to watch it last week). Waste of time watching this *smile*.

Yep, do yourself a favor and watch paint dry, much more stimulating.

They’ll rarely ever cover a Thursday night game. Most of them can’t remember what happened the previous day. They have 2 hours to do 6 games and they never fit them all in. Too busy taking potshots at each other.

They seem to pick and chose which games they cover.
But they do spend alot of time going at each other.

I hardly ever watch footy programs and don't listen to much of footy radio. I find it all so superficial and also contrived.

I've come to accept that commentators are always looking to sensationalize something or generate increased click traffic. I don't care what they say or write.

Yes, the constant dribble by buffoons like Cornhole that Richmond get some sore of priority treatment, don't trave and play 100 games a season at the MCG will further wind up other supporters, but that's their problem.

I'm really only interested in what the coach, the players, or other club officials have to say. That stuff I listen to closely. Oh, and the wise ones on PRE!

The rest can go *#@! themselves!
