What Would a Wooden-Spoon Season Actually Have Meant for Richmond’s Rebuild?
The full RTSSG member feature Richmond will win the wooden spoon, and by some distance. starts with a question that is still worth asking.
The pre-season prediction was brutal: Richmond would finish last and could be a long way behind the field. But what would the ladder alone have told us about whether the rebuild was working?
A young list, senior departures and injury uncertainty made the wooden-spoon prediction easy to understand. But if Richmond did finish last, what would supporters still need to separate? Could a bad ladder position contain good development? Could a few wins hide poor progress? And what would Adem Yze need to show beyond the result column?
The point of the Public doorway is not to settle those questions here. It is to identify the evidence, the disturbance and the next question — then leave the synthesis where it belongs: in the full member feature.
