Are the Tigers the real deal this season>can they make the eight?
They have started the season well and are playing good football.
Maybe now I can tip them confidently every week in my tipping.
Well all that is until they play the Dockers.
the tigers are duds they are useless , and GWS will beat them this week
Biggest dud club ever.,
I cant believe how shit they are this year. I, like most people, had them sitting around the 4-6 mark on the ladder this year. They will be lucky to finish out of the bottom 4 now.
I must admit though, it does please me a little seeing all the Tigers feral supporters wallowing over their failing club.

I actually feel for them. like the Perth Demons their supporters at least stay true and have some passion. but Richmond have too many average players, they could really bottom out this year, if they haven’t already. They should have got rid of Dustin Martin as soon as he wanted out. His attitude is pathetic and it rubs off on the whole group. get quality people and you will develop a quality group. Richmond as a club are slow learners it seems
Their supporters are notoriously fickle, come and go a lot. and as the saying goes The Tigers Eat their own. how man coaches have they been through in the last few decades, they have a litany of failure.
it is clear damien dimwick has lost the players and it is time to go
I have never heard that one. 56,000 turned up last saturday for the loss against Melbourne - a decent turn out. Richmond have been the biggest underachievers in the competition over the last 30 years - enough to turn the most ardent of fans away, yet despite this they seem to have a vast number of people lining up for more pain, suffering and misery.
They will win this week. And would it not be hilarious if they knock off the dockers on june 14?

unbelievable crowd figures for suck a poor record , their fans must be masochists
I think it’s more than Hardwick. I think he’s a good coach for what he has at his disposal. There’s too many people in their club that believe ‘the Tigers roar’, but they don’t! I believe their club is typified by 2 of the games biggest sooks - Richo and now Jack. The scribes write them up, but I certainly wouldn’t want them in the trenches with me. Another of their problems IMHO, is that thy are living in their past glories. They were one of the power clubs, but guess what boys…you ain’t won jackshit for 30 years. Time to see where you sit in the footy world, stop sacking coaches and cuddling selfish, self serving players. They should have bulleted Martin, sat Jack down and told him how it is - you don’t want to be in the program, then go. Guys like Deledio and the ilk, must burn inside when they see these sooks pampered.
i would not blame hardwick - i would blame the players. 9 goals 20 last week shot themselves in the foot. and richo retired years ago. for me what typifies richmond is their supporters. i have bad memories from attending richmond games in melbourne. their supporters are a weird bunch - they remind me of the ducky boys from the film the wanderers.
I was at the game on the weekend.It was a shocker.In the first half Melbourne were terrible to say the least,after half time Richmond got worse and Melbourne just climbed over the top of them.
A terrible game of football.
