There is no positive in this.

Perfect example of all the unprofessionalism at RFC.

Lennon a highly rated junior with elite kicking. Can't get a game in our awful side.

Wants out.

Either our recruitment, development or culture is to blame or a combination of all of them. You shouldn't be losing 3 year old 1st round draft picks to rival clubs in your own state.

Absolutely embarrassing.

[Diocletian]

A shame considering his talent, but rightly or wrongly if we aren't playing him we may as well get someone who we will.

Yes, someone Halfstep will play.....like Kane Mitchell....

Doesn't really say a lot for us does it now?

I can't take one positive from this season apart from Dusty

We are a disgrace to the code of Yellow and Black

Club promised a lot to get him when he was within a whisker of signing on with Carlton. Club didn't hold up their end of the deal but saying that, injuries did play a big part but unfortunately his heart wasn't even fully in it to begin with. Doesn't excuse his poor end to the season but his mind was long gone.

But you have to stuffing laugh at the people losing their poo over this saying "we are a disgrace" "absolutely embarrassing" etc. How many players leave Richmond, especially good ones (Matt White ) yet people are trying to make us sound like we're a basket case when it comes to retaining players

Only if another team can get the best out of him because he certainly hasn't got the inner drive to do it himself. Happy for him to go personally.

[Shammo80]

Medium forward who is an outstanding overhead mark and user of the ball by either hand or foot. Tracks the ball brilliantly in the air, but is just as clean and competitive at ground level. Earned All Australian honours in 2013. Graduate of the AIS AFL Academy.

Wow. This young fellow sounds like a future star of the game. 

[Diocletian]

Wonder if he'll get his tiger tatt removed now?

[DCrane]

The 2013 draft has been yet another write off.
12-Lennon-hopefully he goes to GC but it would still need another pick to get the deal
32-Spudson-well, he is our No.1 ruck I suppose
50-Nathan Gordon
66-Lloyd-we could have got him in the rookie draft, no one else was interested.
We really needed 2 top 20 picks in that draft and it wouldn't have been that hard to do. Just imagine if we had Cripps and Acres, instead we have nothing.

[Diocletian]

Wanted Byrne- Jones & Marsh with Gordon & Lloyd picks.
