ROUND 2 Pretty happy with the game overall. Just the last quarter let us down. Also, we're not getting our hands on the ball enough. Kicking accuracy was also a concern.

Not bad, Storer. By the way, in my first season with Richmond we were doing staggeringly well - sitting at 7-5 and inside the top 8. Then I realised I was supposed to be tanking and after losing by < 10 points to the Magpies I realised I was never going to be a genuine finals contender either and so from there we dropped 8 consecutive games as I played every single player I had under 21. We were literally 7-14, but I decided to win the last game against the struggling Kangaroos and we won by a comfortable 50 points to secure a 14th place finish. Code: [B]Season Team Pos.

Another dismal season, our percentage was actually around 95 as we had about 10 close losses within 10 points, that was the way the season went - whenever we got close to a team with not long left we would inevitably choke - the highlight was being 40 points up at three quarter time against Collingwood before they destroyed us in the last quarter to end the match in a draw. It was a frustrating season and we really struggled. Jake King and Tambling were our two best players. Code: [B]Season Team Pos.

I'm starting as Essendon 09, just going to auto sim and trade the **** out of the team. Then start in the 2nd season.

Morton C: Martin - Gibbs - Trengove HF: McGlynn - Amis - Connors FF: Dea - Hansen - Hawkins FOLL: Renouf - Selwood - Deledio INT: Foley - J. Riewoldt - Cotchin - Givans Sex bomb team. Jamar, Mitch Morton, Rohan Bail, Jarryd Blair all not even good enough to make this team. Could win the flag. Edit: Or not ffs, we are just like last year. A bunch of ****ing chokers.

Started a redraft. Picked a bunch of really young players and made the granny, losing to the Lions in the last quarter by 14 points after leading all day. So I thought I was onto a long dynasty, but Franklin got OP like 5 rounds in and I just couldn't kick enough goals, finishing 4th and then getting knocked out in the prelims. Injuries really tore through me in 2010 with Franklin, Watts and Deledio all coping season ending injuries and my third tall back - a draft pick gun by the name of Travis Kepple - getting suspended for 3 weeks twice in the season and then doing a hammy with 3 rounds to go - missing rounds 20, 21, and 22 (I lost all three and just missed out on %). Did a little better in 2011, making the 8 in 8th place with a 13-9 record, only for the Saints to flog me by 56 points in the EF. Really disappointing considering I had all the cattle out on the park. Franklin and Watts' development has really been stunted by their injuries, but Deledio was really good, coming second in the B&F and polling the Cats highest amount of votes at the Brownlow (15). Only positive is the new recruit Jack McCready who has been sitting on a HFF for his first two seasons kicking some goals, and now is in the midfield. Got picked for AA two years in a row now (HFF, wing). Code: [B]Season Team Pos.

ROUND 3 Once again, I wasn't too displeased by the game. Just 2nd half let us down massively. And we're still not getting enough ball. Definitely not getting the ball inside 50 enough either.

Dead last with the Blues. I don't really care where I finish this season, as it's all a rebuilding stage. Eventually I will slowly begin to stop playing players that I think are done, and won't develop anymore. This will allow for younger, less-experienced players to have a go.
So far I've got in my Richmond career.. 2008 - 12th 2009 - 10th Done pretty good for my self I think. Traded away Ben Cousins for Aaron Sandalins (sp?) in the first season, here's my current squad.
FB: Newman - Astbury - Brennan HB: Blair - Talia - Adcock C: Thomas - Deledio - Sylvia HF: Rioli - Archer (78r18yo) - Tambling FF: Morton - Riewoldt - Wonnaeamirri R: Shutter (71r18YO) - Foley - Swan IC: Silverlock - Cotchin - Gittings (71y18YO) - JSelwood Lacking key options but for second season lookin good.
