Looking through the boards at the moment and reflecting on the 'expert' footy journo's in the media, it's become more and more obvious that PRE is a much better source of expertise than any other footy medium (with some minor blips along the way) .
I thought it would be interesting to line up all the times PRE got it right, and the talking heads in the boys club of the footy media got it wrong.
Starting point would be
Matthew Lloyd - "Tom Lynch is a liability"
Chris Scott - "Richmond were a better team last year"
And to highlight some footy genius, here's a pearler from Tigerfan about Marlion Pickett (posted in May!) days after we recruited him.
And just to point out that sometimes PRE gets it wrong too, here's the worst post of the year, from a very silly poster.
But, then again, when some media outlets wrote off the Tigers at the bye, PRE had it right again, from this visionary.

I bet he makes his debut in the Grand Final.

Also, Pickett is still miles off AFL.

Just putting this out there...
We may not lose another game for the year. I like the look of that draw.
We get enough players back after the bye to give us the critical mass of Richmond's premiership side. Not enough yet to be the out and out best (as we are with Rance, Jack and Nank), but enough to give us the ability to compete with the Collingwoods, West coasts and Geelongs.
