Where Will The Tigers Be In 5 years

[Matty_22_Tigers]

By that time all our younger blokes will be prime age

Johnson, brown, richardson, bowden, and maybe the likes of shane tuck will have moved on

Will we be up near the top of the ladder with the crop we have, or will we need more?

mate i go for richmond too
in 5 years, richo will be gone, brown, bowden, johnson(yes but tuck will be good still. matt white will be better than ever and cotchin, lids, coughlan will be firing my guess
is
3rd spot

From 09 onward for 5 years they should be between 10th and 4th depending on injuries and form, by adding some new key players by 5 years could be top 4 material, but.......we never really know eh.

Your backline structure is looking good with the likes of; McGuane, Thursfield, Moore, Raines, and Newman, and you have a great Midfield group, with; Foley, Deledio, Tambling, White, Cotchin, etc. The question mark is on your Forward line, Morton and Riewoldt will be handy but you really need another gun Key Forward, especially with Richo gone in a couple of years.

Does Cleve Hughes have the potential to hold his own there?
Will Graham Polak play footy again
Our ruck stocks will also be diminished
With Simmonds gone we will have pattison. Would it help to get Robert Warnock from fremantle over to us?

hard to predict. i was trying to construct their best22 for 2009 the other day. this is what i came up with:

B - King, Thursfield, Moore
HB - Newman, Polak, McMahon
C - (Johnson), Tuck, Raines
HF - Deledio, Richardson, Tambling
F - Morton, Hughes, Brown
R - Simmonds, Coughlan, Foley
I/C - Pattison, Cotchin, Bowden, Pettifer

there is a massive misperception that Richmond are playing a "young group".
Trent Cotchin is the only player aged between 18-21.
if they can't make finals next year, Wallace has to go.
Richmond supporters... start demanding the results... you're way better than 9th !!

It does sound so right. (are Tasmanian Tigers extinct?)

No. They are in hiding.

A Tassy team would be good. How about the "Tassy Demonds"?
It's got a nice ring to it.
