PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

I am sure the club said earlier we couldn't fill our list due to salary cap restrictions. Recently we were told the list wasn't filled due to lack of suitable players to give a spot to. Have I imagined these things differing statements? Which was correct?

Last year Danny promised a clean out and big changes at the end of the season. They didn't exactly eventuate.
I realise there were players kept on due to being contracted but in reality noone paid the price for our crap performance. They performed the same again this year.

At a guess I'd say about 6 of those players kept due to contracts will go this year and make way for draft picks.

How many picks can we have?

I can't see us trading more than a couple of "name" players.

A fair proportion of our team hasn't performed to expectation the last two seasons. We've been told those players will go.

We know who a lot of the underperforming players have been. It will be interesting to see what happens to them.

I can't see how a cleanout can happen (lucky I am not football manager, ha.)

I do know there will be a lot of faith lost and angry supporters if we have been lied to again and the players who've let us down stay on.

All will be revealed in a couple of months I suppose but I can see a situation where we don't have a lot of change in our top 22.

Maybe a couple go for a couple more suited to our needs, but that seems like a bandaid fix to me if we don't get rid of underperformers.

I'm looking forward to seeing what a genius Greg Miller can be but I'll be very disappointed if our list next year even resembles the list that's let us down the last two years.
