no, i only defend against ill informed or unwarranted criticism. in this case the criticism came about because the bloke making it was uninformed and didn't know what he was on about.

some people are so used to the club failing they are in the habit of saying everything the club does is wrong, then thinking they are something special when they are proven right.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

by the way, still waiting to hear who these magical "pure" midfielders that we overlooked are.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

No, you pretty much refuse to look at anything Richmond in a bad way.

dont ya just love seeing people sink the boots in and all along it was themselves who was the clueless one?
we still have only 38 on the list proper  as far as i can see  that isnt changing.  now that is clueless.
ya know whats clueless fools who just follow the club line and defend everything they say and do.
ya know whats clueless? a club coming out and saying they desperately need to build on the midfield and then doing nothing or little about it.
ya know whats clueless a club regularly ignoring serious list deficiencies and at the end of every trade and draft period papering over what they have done.
you know whats clueless taking hacks that are proven hacks that have no upside what soever becase they have failed for yrs on end to adequately address list needs.
you stick your head up your and you think your smelling roses but hey who am i to tell you its poo your really smelling. after all im just clueless. but go ahead pretend it smells alright after al you clearly think rfc poo doesnt stink.
If your talking about "lockup" Edwards I agree totally.  :thumbsup

Clubs must contract players for two years in the pre-season draft, but can take them on one-year deals as rookies.

Richmond will rookie-list former Geelong ruckman Orren Stephenson.

The Club is keeping its cards close to its chest. I asked Inside Football's Brett Anderson if he's heard any whispers on who we will pick up apart from Stephenson and he said he had nothing concrete.
