I know one win aint a season matt!
Richmond is rapidly improving and we have one of the top midfields in the afl at the moment and jack riewoldt's confidence will be back after the excellent game against hawthorn! Jack now sits second in the coleman medal, and brett deledio and trent cotchin is amongst the top 5 in afl in disposals and dream team points!
Our players are performing now and we can only go up from here!
As for who we will replace in the top 8 at the end of the season, its to early to tell but I just know we will be there in september playing finals footy!
Dont continue to dwell on richmonds ugly past, its not fair give em a chance, Dont u look at stats, If deledio keeps goin the way he is goin, then he could have a crack at the brownlow!
Bet you did not expect adelaide to be where they are at the start of the season!
If u go for geelong then ur used to success!
You don't have one of the top midfields in the AFL, you have a young midfield in good form. I'm not saying the likes of Martin and Cotchin won't be stars in the future, but they are still only 50 and 70 game players. They're not going to play with the consistency required to be considered elite just yet.
Don't get me wrong, the Tiger's midfield will be good in the future, but the term 'one of the top midfields' is a phrase that gets bandied around a little too easily sometimes, especially on the back of a couple of good performances.
You can't really blame people for dwelling on Richmond's past. These kind of comments about 'how good they are going to be in the future' are thrown around every time they put a couple of wins together. Who remembers the fanfare surrounding the appointment of Terry Wallace as coach? He was supposed to be the saviour and how did that turn out? You can't even mention his name in the presence of a Tigers fan without them wanting to punch you in the face.
Delidio is playing well, but not Brownlow well. I think a certain G. Ablett and S. Pendlebury might have something to say about that.
I would love to see the Tigers play finals, think it would be great for footy to see them up and about again. It just won't be this year.
