I don't want to trust you, i think we can certainly finish higher than we are now.

BUT....

Do we want too?

Could we be tanking from here?

Announce a review.
No longer pick Murphy.
Play the kids.
Wins are not that important as the coaches job is deemed 'safe' for 2022..........or his replacement is already locked in.

What else would/could we do?
Keep Charlie in cotton wool.
Pick some more kids, Ramsay, Honey, Boyd.....

Be interesting to see what changes from here on out.

That's an interesting scenario.  But it could backfire  because if the kids bring enthusiasm and drive with them we could see an improvement.

Id be targetting sydney stack first from Richmond.

Go for blokes who have ability that cant get a look in.  Sooner or later youll hit paydirt.

Don’t we usually call that “recruiting other teams list cloggers” ?
Let’s go BIG !

Wins bring confidence and more wins! Get wins!

See Adam Saad, Zac Williams, Mitch McGovern and Jack Martin.
All talented.  All costly.  All under whelming in terms of output.
The Sydney stack approach is for a need we have.

Shaun Grigg was seen the same at the time, but he was valuable to Richmond.

Shaun Grigg was seen the same at the time, but he was valuable to Richmond. He was plugged into a better system. We have to admit that our game plan is not good enough... in so many ways.

There's been a few off-field issues for Stack as well that probably haven't helped him late last year and into this year. Do we think we've got the sort of environment that could cater for that....Richmond have certainly been able to do it.

We can only hope that the Independent Review addresses this (environment/culture) because I reckon Stocks is a strong part of our future and absolutely deserves considerable investment (along with our other youngins).

If we had Sydney Stack or Willi Rioli on our list their career would have been over long ago!
