3rd Year of Plan.

[U2Tigers]

This to me means we should be further along than 1st and 2nd Year.

This club thinks that may/should mean 5-8. I do It should be our year to start to get our finals experience.

Well news to everyone who is whinging but expecting this to happen is that by doing nothing at trade time wasn't going to help make that possible.

TW has 5 years to make things happen, we're all behind him on that so Why won't We allow him to at least try.

Getting a CHB was essential to advance in our plan. Is essential for TW plan.
Essential for us to advance.

Well Done TW and IMO, your plan is now progressing and not stalling like a hell of a lot on here seem to want.

Great move.

I think you're right U2. I think a lot of posters on here who supposedly barrack for RFC are secretly frightened that TW will succeed as they will have nothing to whinge about and criticise if Richmond become successful again. Personally I can't wait till that time. Go for it TW. :clap

I'm a massive fan of Terry...he's made going to footy just that little more happier over the last 2 years...and, in general, I agree with what he's doing, even if sometimes it seems a little strange.

But I cannot see the wisdom in this deal.

Ideally I would agree that 5-8 is where we should be. I really have my doubts that we are going to make it though. I believe that we will be fighting for 8-10. My basis for this is the relative size and lack of experience of our midfield. Foley, Tambling, Deledio and a recuperating Coughlan are not going to damage the opposing midfields of the top eight sides. My other concern is the confidence shadow of all the serious injuries we picked up last year. Only + is Brown hopefully back to some good form.

3rd year of terry's plan - now having cleaned out the rfc deadwood over the last couple of seasons it's time to import deadwood in from other clubs .

And pay a ridiculous over the top price to do it.

How can you be so definitive and negative about emerging young players in there third season? (Cogs exepted)
Where you this gloomy about Raines, Polo , Foley ,Howat ,Tuck or P. Bowden in the pre season before they emerged?
Brett why is it impossible to beleive that our young list that performed so well this season can't make further improvements next season?
Surely theres a half full view about the recruitment of a 22yr old 195cm 95kg 2001 pick number 4 looking for a fresh start in the big smoke coming to your club.

I might join the Bright side when TW finally axes the you know who's starting with................................. ad nauseum

Questions: 1) Where would we have been at if Danny Frawley was still coach? Down the bottom.
2) With the list that we have currently got, have we reached the full potential that these guys have right now? We have exceeded expectaions. I understand those Richmond supporters who have followed the club for decades, getting restless and impatient, but we can only do with what we've got. The drafting of Graeme Polak today, will hopefully fill a huge hole in our backline. And I think with a fresh start, and away from any distractions at home, I think he will fill that hole quite nicely and become a solid player for the tigers for the next decade.
Our young midfield, will grow with time, and you are only kidding yourselves if you think they will not get the job done in the future, because there's a s***load of talent in there. Again, we back em in.
Now onto Terry. The 2 years he's been here, he wiped out the whole club, and restructed and configured the way we go about it at this club. He was definitely the right man for the job IMO, and I bet if you ask the players, none of them would want to leave. The core relationship and belief within the group is outstanding, and in the not so distant future, we will see success down at tigerland.

Go Tigers!

Soon the predictions for where we will finish next year will start and I for one will not pay the slightest attention because the predictions for last year were way off and that is even with such a young list going out there each week. When you are part of the 'Tiger Faithful' as Wallace puts it then there is always hope that expectations are exceeded.

Geez you'd hate to meet some of these darksiders at a Tigers BBQ, they'd make you want to slit your wrists.

I was reading somewhere about the fog of war. AFL is sort of like that. You get your own house in order..ie remedy your percieved weaknesses, build on your strengths, maintain organisation and then address what you confront as it occurs ( on game day ) . you can only plan for so much. at the end of day it can be so unpredictable so only worry about what you can control....

and yes ...I have had a bottle of red...
