Got nothing better to do at the moment - there is 1416 sleeps from today till April 1st, 2011 - so give or take a few days for when first round will be that is how long till Terrys plan takes effect.

I'm putting my hopes into the effect taking place a lot earlier.

Thats an awful lot of sleeps to start ticking off the calendar.
 
Does this mean we will not win a game untill 2011?
Will that be another record, 89 loses in a row?

Terry & Greg have spun so much crap they have turned many Tiger supporters brain numb. We don't know whether we are coming or going, we cop our biggest thumping and we were so stunned we didn't even blink.

Sometimes I have to check whether my heart still beats for the RFC.
 
Chin up fellas.

If I can just convince Greg & Francis to fix our problem with the talls, we just might make that 2011 deadline. ;)
 
God I hate that year -

the moment TW mentioned it.


I find it very distasteful a year 4 years from now after 25 years of crap, has to be even spoken.

especially when 2007 was meant to be the start of the rise.

He may have turned out to be right, but as a Senior Coach to have a team for 2 years, and talk up 2007 one minute and then obviously admit to overvaluing the list as a whole,

well it reeks of a little incompetence I think. I mean its not like its me, just a fan over hyping our list - its the one bloke who is there 24/7 who did it, for 2 bloody wasted years.

Inexcusable IMO.


















Sorry if i'm blunt but - getting a little tired of the crap. And 2011 date really pisses me off.
 
Again,
March needs to hand out Tewwy's medicine to Tewwy. Tewwy has done his job (30,00 memebers) so now is ready to be downgraded like Gasp. If he doesn't like it he can resign, as did Gasp. Let David King run the team as interim coach and get the players confidence back.
Review in the off season, or maybe, who knows, Worsfeld like Judd might also want to jump!!
 
think about dec 31st 2010.

The next day the Richmond Football Club is going to be operating under more pressure than ever previously experienced.

The newspspers will refer to it in every Richmond related article

I bet I can count on one hand how many games will be shown where the commentators don't refer to the 2011 deadline

:help
 
Give and take a bit, Terry was aiming at either finals this year or definitely next year. He even said if we didnt go the step forward this year that it would be a failure.

Well, I cant see a great deal of change happening within 12 months for us to make the 8.

He will be a failure of a coach if that is the case at the end of 2008...if he makes it until then.

Ok I'l be blunt back to u! Are u blind to our shortfalls! Are u oblivious that witha couple of injuries to our ruckman that our midfield can't touch the ball. That then puts pressure on young and undersized backline. Because we're getting smashed out of the middle our forward line then never or invariably gets decent ball delivered forward.
To be honest i think we have some fantastic talent on our list. But Miller , Wallace, and any knowleable football fan will tell you we are short of several classy ruckman, some grunt in the middle and a few classy talls, whinge and carry on, all ya like but with a draft in place these things take time.
Ok if we get the No1 pick this year we get Mat kreauzer, a tall ruckman forward. great then we get pick17. A tall back, then 18, a strong bodied midfielder. Then we hope they develop quickly enough.
As you can see these things take time, and with 15 other clubs trying to make 2008,2009,2010,2011 and beyond their year, its a battle.
To be realistic with the money the interstate clubs have it will be always a huge battle for the vic clubs. Not only in 2011 but every year we all participate.
So U2 whinge like a *smile* if you want, if we don't make it 2007, or 2011, but i'm telling you it will take a super human effort for us or any of the vic teams to challenge over the next few years

For me its not the sleeps that worry me, its all that booze I'll have to get thru before I can really be happy

Fair enough.

2011 it is.

wish we weren't led on for the last 2 years though.

Lists are a lot bigger than a couple of stars and injuries.

TW has had 2 years to know where our list is at overall - Over the last few years it has been stated we were looking for finals in 2007. It wasn't till after this pre season the 2011 was spoken.

Regardless of where this club is at - pretty dissapointing being in the premier football competition ( which is professional) and talk 4 years from now.

I will take it because this is the club I choose to follow, and I do passionately.

Doesn't mean I have to like it though.

GO TIGES.

By 2011, Jack Riewoldt might have made his debut.
BT 24 you have got it right, the obvious plan is to hold all the good kids back at Coburg, make them unbeatable and along the way win flags in 07,08,09,10 then unleash them on the competition in 2011.
WOW we should have picked up this earlier!
