Nothing has changed on here, the same old negativity about the RFC and it's players, the same old skill errors, the same old feral supporters at the ground bagging the players, the same old posters telling us we ain't good :hihi. Last night's heartless & gutless effort further reinforces the darksider's view of players not having the talent and mentality.
I'm interested in your view on how this club will perform over the next 5 years. Is it possible the RFC can become Wooden Spooners again within this period? :-[
Let's look at some things going against us;
- Our ruck division is looking fragile, Simmonds looks finished, Browne, Gus, Putt & Vickersy will get slaughtered and will not be able to handle the work load throughout the year.
- Terry's position is hanging on a string, a new coach can come in an invigorate the mood but a massive clean out will be on the cards.
- A massive clean out will mean a rebuild, will this take another 5-7 years?
- Players such as Simmonds, Brown, Johnson, Richooooooooo, Tuck, Bowden, Cousins & Pettifer will exit taking over 1000 games experience.
- Have we recruited well enough since 2004 to cover these players?
- Do we have enough flankers?
- Will Cleve Hughes become a forward?
- Most of our current stock, young & old can't hit a barnyard door.
Positives for the next 5 years;
- Cotchin, Morton, Jack, Rance, Deledio,Jake King maybe Putt & Vickery, and even Tambling when he turns it around.
- Utilising the Ponsford Change rooms at the MCG.
- Jeff Bond
- Sheedy telling us we have the capability of playing finals on the eve of every season.
- Craigieburn Sports Stadium
- Using Round 1 of every year as a practice run for the finals.
Serious people are we going to face a dilemma in the next 5 years, are we going to wake up one morning, just like the Sub Prime Mortage Crisis, no one seeing it coming?
Can this club go backwards again?
