@Johnny130924 @RFC_Centre @DanDan001213 Our side is not better than the Pies. They were top 4 last year, we were 17th. They are old and experienced. We have 17 guys under 100 games with 13-14 under 50. Sonsie has been playing wing, not half forward.

@RFC_Centre @partycorolla @DanDan001213 Sonz kills in the mid at VFL, plays HF in AFL? McAuliff the same. I watched Coll almost beat Freo. Our side is much better but we get smashed. Coll are well drilled, well coached. We are not.

R5 | Final Team Reckon those changes are fair enough. Kane was pretty ordinary last week & whilst we all agree he has ability, he’s got to show it. Balta will assume his usual post down back, hopefully Gray will join him down there. Banks up to a wing. #GoTiges

@TThurlkill @N9QHF3184383 @ChrisHeHim1 No rage here. You stupid pricks deserve the govt you vote in. I’d just prefer it didn’t fuck my economy and petrol prices while they play games to build their individual worth.

@partycorolla @N9QHF3184383 @ChrisHeHim1 Niether are true, but hey, whatever lets you rage.

Lazy stupid cunt

@Stu_McLay @Jonesracing82 Agreed. It’s the going with the same old that is annoying, even in game when the game is shot. Out number of different players in CBAs has increased since round 1 but not as extensively as I’d like. Also need to give it to the man running past way more often.

@partycorolla @Jonesracing82 I'd like to see us throw things around while we're short on personnel. Not winning with current CBA set up, give more players opportunities and have more rotations. Balta forward while we're short on experience and we have ok stocks down back. Live or die down the corridor.

If the top 30 of the 2024 super draft was redone as of today it would look very different. I don't think it would be too flattering for Richmond.

@NickCantelmi @TripleNetTyler But will you hear from him tomorrow 🤔

@TripleNetTyler I just heard a broadcaster estimate a putt to be 20 feet. It was totally fine. He didn’t get executed

If you ever feel like you’re walking on eggshells in a conversation… Imagine being a broadcaster at The Masters They’ve got a rulebook longer than a CVS receipt Here is the lingo you MUST use on air: Fans = “patrons” Rough = “second cut” Sand trap = “bunker” Front/back 9 = “first/second 9” Here is what you CAN'T say on air: No talking about prize money No mentioning player's earnings No estimating crowd size No comparing holes to other courses No guessing where a ball might land No estimating putt length Slip up once and don’t expect an invite back to Augusta

@Stu_McLay @Jonesracing82 I’m not sure we have the players available to play the way we will in a year or 2. We’ve drafted some guys who are in/out, runners, creative etc but they aren’t playing… which leaves us with slow one paced guys in the middle. Our forwards are so inexperienced as well.

@Jonesracing82 @partycorolla Not so much expecting miracles, more so improvement year on year, both induvidually and as a group. And a clear game plan.

@Stu_McLay @Jonesracing82 I’m not expecting every pick to be a winner for the record… it’s more about not knowing yet. We need to support the picks with some solid senior types (not slow pokes like we have). Need to draft, trade and FA very well in the next 2-3 seasons.

@partycorolla @Jonesracing82 I do see your point. And based on that, if it does take seasons to really know then perhaps I should not be dismissive and others should not be so bullish about the rebuild. Bottom line is, we'll all be there regardless of the outcome.

@Jonesracing82 @Stu_McLay Some are just negative in general. It’s understandable in some ways. Cats, Swans compete year in, year out. We get up, cash in and then go down again. It’s the impatience that annoys me (well it’s the injuries to our youth really - when they play we’ll see the path back).

@partycorolla @Stu_McLay Some of our fans seriously need to put the keyboard down. We have a double figure injury list, incl over half of our "super draft" haul on the sidelines, yet they are still expecting us to perform miracles.

@cdeegz8 @ItsShowtime223 You’d shoot a golfer you’ve probably never met over 2 guys who have caused misery on the life of millions. That sort of makes you sound like a cunt.

@ItsShowtime223 I fucking hate Patrick Reed. If I had two bullets and was in a room with Patrick Reed, Putin, and Kim Jong Un….I’d shoot Patrick Reed twice.

Why don’t people put more respect on Patrick Reed’s name?

@Stu_McLay @Jonesracing82 I think you missed my point. It’s too early. If you did Thilthorpe after 2 years you’d say he was no good and a poor pick, even after 4… now he’s one of the most influential in the comp. Let’s see how it looks in 2 more years and then 2 more years. Getting 6 right is unheard of

@partycorolla @Jonesracing82 Absolutely could be done for every draft. But I'm mostly concerned with Richmond.

@Stu_McLay @Jonesracing82 This could be done for every draft ever… it would also change quite a bit after 2, 4 and 6 years. Thilthorpe was poor until his 5th, Daicos good immediately etc etc. I’ve had a look at your overall posting & see it’s 96% negative across all topics, not just RFC so carry on 👍

@partycorolla @Jonesracing82 Lalor would still be one. Trainor would be much higher.

@Stu_McLay @Jonesracing82 You are way too negative all the time. If it’s too hard, take a break. We’ll be ok without you.

@partycorolla @Jonesracing82 Been on board for a long, long time and a member since there was only a few thousand of us. Sat through plenty of games in the dark days. I'm realistic, not believing the rosy rebuild message yet. It's OK for us to see it differently.

@Stu_McLay @ahleach Stu you muppet. As Richmond supporters we’ve seen more premierships in the last 10 years than any club. There are 17 teams that have won fewer on that time. The Bombers haven’t won a final since 2004. They were due for a win. No one should accept whinging Richmond fans.

As bad as when the top up players beat us. As bad as ANZAC Day 1992.

@Stu_McLay @Jonesracing82 Way too early to be this negative. If you are this negative though, might be best to go for something else while the rest of do the hard yards through a rebuild. Either get on or get out of the way.

@Jonesracing82 My point is that there are a number of metrics. Isn't any relative rating of players, whether doing a redraft or otherwise, based on a combination of games played, exposed form, injury/fitness, playing well in good/poor teams etc? Considering all that, doesn't look good for us.

@N9QHF3184383 @ChrisHeHim1 Yeah, both lazy cunts. Only one has fucked the world oil economy and only one is a convicted rapist. I’m tipping only one is in the Epstein files as well. Only one bankrupted casinos and only one dodged the draft. Both lazy when it comes to umbrellas and planes though.

@ChrisHeHim1 So do you feel the same way about Biden?

@pkddt87 @Housemoney16 No no, the internet would know better than the pro golfer 😉

@Housemoney16 Bryson won the 2024 US Open with Avoda irons (3D printed) One of his irons this week 5 iron, was made by his team. The rest were Avoda. He’s also a 2 time major winner.

I won’t mince words This was absolutely GLORIOUS Guy is a such a weirdo…why on earth, as a pro golfer, would you 3D print your own clubs?! Such a goofy ass nonsensical totally unnecessary thing to do This goof got exactly what he deserved

@McInnispicks Because he’d rather spend time with his daughter than play some meaningless tournament in Houston? That’s why? Most people didn’t like him slagging off other golfers for trying to provide for their families.

I never really understood why some people didn't like Rory. Now I kind of see it.

@Johnny130924 @RFC_Centre @DanDan001213 The lack of versatility from Hopper is also an issue. Yze has tried Taranto forward, Prestia forward (had a game with only 3 CBAs). Not sure where else Hopper could start. Smilie, Hotton, Cumming will all help but we need them all to be healthy. MRJ, Sonsie (won’t happen) could 2

@RFC_Centre @partycorolla @DanDan001213 Thats the problem. Yze doesnt have the courage to move the gumboot brigade out. Like Sonz last year getting 30 in the 2s gets you played out of position in the 1s. Until a gumboot member is limited to 10CBAs we will not improve.

@lincolnduff @jerichsen66 @MattPGAProps Nobody ‘needs’ or deserves criticism-what a moronic view. They are just humans who are better than almost everyone at the sport of golf. Why you think they deserve criticism shows how your feeble mind works. You must not have handled criticism well growing up. Tosser attitude

@jerichsen66 @MattPGAProps Point is Rahm deserves way more criticism than the other guys you mentioned. Also, the only top 10 he’s had since joining LIV that he was actually relevant in the tourney was PGA last year, the others were a bit back door, no real chance of winning. He should be better than that.

Absolutely embarrassing display of golf from Jon Rahm. And all year LIV folks have argued that he needs more world ranking points. LOL

@Cranky_Old_Guy @Tigercastpod You need depth in each line. Trainor or to a lesser extent Gibcus can take 3rd/4th tallest. If a club comes with an offer, you maximise the opportunity (unlike what we did with Higgins/Butler). With our high performance team, everyone on the list plays every year… 😢

@partycorolla @Tigercastpod Broad usually took the 3rd/4th tall. Yes, depth is a really good thing, but when another club comes with an offer for whoever is dominating the VFL but can't get a regular AFL game, what do you think that player will be asking for? Good list management requires being proactive

FINAL TEAMS- Just the two changes this week. The fact they dropped McAuliffe for Balta and kept Gray in too I think strongly lends itself to a varied role for Balta this weekend. Which I’m all for.

@MiDiamondDave @LenHochberg Mettle… it’s mettle, not metal. If you going to throw things at people, please get it right. Harman is a major winner and he had a bad round too. Min Woo 11th in Fed Ex had a poor round. It happens, golf is hard.

@LenHochberg Playing for a Masters title is playing for something much bigger than bags of money. The pressure is different. They don’t have the metal to play in this arena anymore.

Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm certainly fooled me. Apparently, playing well on LIV Golf doesn't mean you're playing well.
