Alright I've had a few people ask me to join here, even had an email saying they would reconsider their membership if I didnt...and we don't want that, so here we are.
My initial problem to begin with was that the club has so many forums, I cant be answering everyone's questions all the time but I am here and will be able to get to any posts here every few days, or as soon as I humanly can.
So, fire away
My only groundrules: No footy stuff, I'm not Dimma so I can't tell you why X isn't playing or why Z is...but I can answer other things. Go for it, happy to be here!
-
who is our new major sponsor and when will the announcement be made ? And welcome to the forum
-
X is playing lol
-
Great to see and as someone who has been on pretty much every Tiger forum this is clearly the best forum which has the highest quality posting and easily the best and most constructive admin and moderators.
You really should've come here first but I'm sure everyone on OER will allow you 1 mistake!

Yep. At the least, what timeframe (and not the catch-all "sometime in the New Year") can we expect the announcement.
And to reiterate what some others have posted - this forum really does stand out from most for it's varied, robust and mature discussion. Thanks for joining.
-
I really don't get the chicken little reactions to the sponsorship issue, today is the first working day back for the new year, we've just had the xmas break, no company wanting exposure from a sponsorship announcement is going to make it right now when so many people are away on holidays.
It will be announced when it's ready to be announced and expecting RFCO to let the cat out of the bag on this forum is just pure stupidity

A question from me -
What is the best way to get my young fellow a response letter/signed photo etc from a player. Writing via the mail hasn't worked this year and my son became a little dispondent - is it better to write vai email?

Welcome aboard OER RFCO :)
Stealing 10 Flags' thunder here but what does the Club think of his idea to encourage lapsed members to return to the fold?
http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum/index.php?topic=12305.0
One thing the club should look at IMHO is what to do with members who allow there memberships to lapse but who come back into the fold. For example when you purchase a membership now it says for example that you have been a consecutive member for say 5 years but what happens if you have been a member over your life for say 12 years or 15 years. I understand these things are difficult but I think if the club has the computer records they should offer members who have held members over a number of years but for one reason or another became lapsed over a year or two to buy out the lapsed period.
This would allow those members to accrue better membership benefits but also provide an opportunity for the club to make some money. I think a one-off fee of say $200 or maybe $50 a year for every lapsed year of membership would be fair.
Members would go onto a better level of membership and the club would make some extra money.
In order to give it more cred maybe revenues made from this could go debt reduction.
I just put up some basic ideas, hopefully someone from the club takes all these things into account and then we see some sort of action.
Whether its a 10 year period or say 6 years maximum then thats for the club to decide. If you go with say 6 years maximum then they should just charge the $79 a year 3 game membership for every year required-that would then take the 6 year charge to $474 all up to buyout 6 years and thats not a bad amount at all.
1 year lapse- $79
2 year lapse- $158
3 year lapse- $237
4 year lapse- $316
5 year lapse- $395
6 year lapse- $474
Financially it really works for the club and supporters who need say 3years+ get a real benefit but of course they pay for the priviledge. :thumbsup

Not asking for "cat out of bag" statements Infamy. Just looking for a "still in negotiation so a number of weeks away" or a "already committed, waiting for the best time" or a " nearly over the line, expect it in a few weeks", something like that. You should know me well enough to know that Chicken Little is not my go, but some information good or bad is much easier to swallow and much more appreciated than no information at all.

The players about the place obviously, it's just a matter of finding the time for them to sign something else. When you say signed photo, are you sending in the photo and askign for it to be signed? Or are you wanting both, just for clarity's sake.

welcome aboard rfc official.
Question - Why was the club so adamant on keeping the name Punt Road oval when selling the naming rights to ME Bank? Giving them the rights to the whole complex would have brought in more $$$ no doubt.

Thats a real good question TM. Our supporters are too emotional about the name of the oval. The club should have sold the name of completely and taken the money. :gotigers

Thanks for the reply. I'm more referring to some type of response from the player or club just acknowleding that they appreciate the latter from the child. Doesn't always have to come directly from the player, as I understand they have a very taxing schedule, but some sort of return item/letter etc goes a long way to creating lifelong supporters from those young kids who have made the effort to write to their heroes.
Once again thanks for taking the time to reply. I think everyone on here really appreciates the effort you are making! :thumbsup

Why should buying a membership be dependent on the team doing well now or in the 4 years time
People who jump on only when things are going well are called bandwagoners

More memberships equates to better resources around the club for them to succeed. You jump on board, that helps the bottom line. If everyone decided not to join until we got better, chances are we probably won't be around in four years.
You either want to buy one or you don't - your choice!

RFC-O
when will interstaters memberships be mailed out? ( resigned up in November )
Got mine delivered to sunny :o Brisbane yesterday 632 (including #6 grandson's Tiger Cub pack) although mine is a normal 11 gamer, not the interstate one. Mine is auto-renewed via the roll over plan so that would have been November also.
-
Question for you RFCO:
Why can't I use my 11 game membership to attend our home games in Queensland (Carrara in the past, Cairns this year, Darwin for NT members)? Seems that this membership is biased towards Melbourne-based members by allowing them to convert one of our interstate home games to a local one, yet when we play a home game interstate, members that reside in that state are not given the option to use their memberships unless they have the lesser value Country/Interstate pack. Strong disincentive to get us interstate members to buy higher value memberships I would think.
-
This is something I was wondering about too smokey. I thought that being a home game any member could get in rather have having to use one of my two interstate game nominations.
I rang the club and the issue is that although we are the home team in these games, from a ticketing point of the view they are not treated as home games. This is because members get access to an away melbourne game to replace each interstate game, ie an 11 game membership still gets you access to 11 games in melbourne, 9 home and two away.
Gee i hope round 2 against the saints is one of the replacement games so the social club will be open.

Been a bugbear of mine for a few years now Al. I don't see how it is fair that interstate-domiciled members get disadvantaged because they choose an elevated level of membership! Flies in the face of trying to increase the level (extra revenue for the club) and satisfaction of membership for mine.

RFCO should never have been allowed to post on any forum in an official capacity by the club IMHO. Its gonna get outta hand at some point on some of the forums or some people will get cut when RFCO doesnt agree with there point of view. Its a bad recipe and one that wont assist the club in the end.

Disagree entirely.
For one person that gets cut, hundreds will be satisfied.
The communication improvement from the club this year has been positively brilliant!

Yep, can't get onside with this one 10 Flags (or is it Ramps ??? ). Good move by the club and as MM said, the improvement in communications over the past 12 months has been a breath of fresh air. Improvement across all facets of the club is what we have been promised and so far is what has been delivered. Can't complain about that.

10 Flags is my new tag Smoke. I hope you guys are right, but if we start to lose afew games, Itll be interesting to see how RFCO will handle the feral element.

I think he's already been through a fast learning curve on Big Footy ramps ... particularly after Collins was traded.
There is obviously a large number of questions/issues he simply cant address and such things get ignored, but there will always be a small element of dick heads that don't understand this. Welcome to the internet ;D :cheers

It is a great initiative and hopefully Tiger supporters understand that this communication won't answer all questions but at least gives us ongoing access into the club.
It is so much better and more credible that some posters on forums who claim "inside knowledge" in peddling some unsubstantiated smut about the club.
The club should stay objective about what Tiger forums to post, in the end all supporters are valuable to the club - particularly paid members - and there is no gain in favouring 1 forum over another (even if this is the best one).

had an email saying they would reconsider their membership if I didnt

Hi RFCO, do you know if there will be a full scale intra-club practice game say a week before the Darwin Allstars game (Feb 5)?

RFCO, i know that the club is talking up Nathan Foley, but the rumors continue to abound about his actual state of fitness and his long term future at the RFC.
It's probably unfair to put this on you, but is there anything other than the usual club gloss that we can hang our hopes on with Nathan?

A couple of recent training reports have said that Nathan has been training like a man possessed.
For mine the standouts at training today were:
Foley - trained the whole session and not once did I see him pull up or limp. Looked as sharp as ever and his ball handling in the conditions was pretty well spot on.

It is possible that RFCO could be Jacko or maybe Diggler/Laff decided to create what would be the best gimmick ever on an RFC supporter forum! ;D :lol

RFCO, do you know if the ABC will be showing a live telecast of the All Stars game on Friday?
-
It is possible that RFCO could be Jacko or maybe Diggler/Laff decided to create what would be the best gimmick ever on an RFC supporter forum! ;D :lol
Well there were two RCOs on Big Footy for awhile and I am sure one of them was a chick.
-
RCO, a few years ago Robert Murphy of the Doggies displayed a tattoo on his arm that said, 'No War!'
I think the AFL and the Doggies told him that he wasn't allowed to do this.
The other day Dan jackson tweeted or something about his opinions on the Australian flag.
Are these incidents the same?? Will Dan be pulled into line?

Hi RFCO, thanks for your efforts last night with the streaming of the game. Any chance of a replay being made available on the RFC site or RFC youtube page? And are there any disposal stats available as well?

Gutter thread
Its sunday. Its the weekend, when does he post on the weekend.
He will be on here monday or tuesday.
Supporters whinge and bitch and carry on wanting more interaction from the club. When this occurs people crack the poos about it anyway.
People will never be happy. The club has been super with what it has supplied online. Dima's email weekly, RFC Official online, the club youtube etc etc etc. Things that we didnt have in the past.
I have never seen RFC Official come online on a saturday or sunday spruiking a win. So why should he come on for a loss.
The on-field disgrace and debacle and the way the FTF fund has been handled is different to a lot of the cheap potshots being thrown around. I think FNM is correct, misplaced anger. Target the players first and worry about online representatives about 10th.

Dude, he owe's us nothing! whats he going to tell us that we don't already know or haven't already heard?
Anything he say's will only have the poo picked out of it so why would he bother?
Personally I would rather see the guy's show up this week and just play with heart, play with intent and just play with some spirit! Seeing the Tigers flog the Bombers will heal all wounds (But if we get flogged again you have my permission the burn the place down ;D ;D)

What is he going to say whats Dimma going to say on the email. Its all rubbish. We as supporters or the smart ones at least dont need club emails, phone calls and carry on like that.
We have been spoon fed rubbish for 30 years for me personally the only thing i care about is on field success, the rest is spin aka leather face

Mr RFC_O,
there's been some discussion about our final membership numbers
Club says 47k members, official ALF number is 40k
I asked you this on twitter but if you could answer it here that would be great
Why the difference in the 2 numbers?
And BTW I know you are going to say it's because of the "access & non access members" numbers but could you tell us which categories make up "non access"
Thnx
-

I have read this sort of comment from mods elsewhere. What's the deal OE? Is it some sort of forum protocol?
How is it any different from commenting on something in the paper or something going down at another club?

Yep it's pretty much standard protocol on most forums these days. As posting on forums is mostly anonymous it's easy for someone with a grudge to use one site to bag and make up crap about another site and the people who run and/or use it. With issues in papers or affecting another club the individuals involved are publicly known and the issues are public knowledge to discuss (unless there's a court suppression order which prevents a person's identity being revealed).

I've got more of a just curious question for you RFCO.
Is there any reason why the club logo doesn't appear alongside the club sponsors on the back-banner when a coach or player gives an interview to the media?
-
Here is one from outside the square for you RFCO.
Each year the club release a list of all of the players in the final year of their contract, ie able to be delisted.
Run an sms line where members can send a text voting to delist a player and resign a player and the decision stands at the conclusion.
Could be a nice earner with a premium sms line and a way to involve the fans who let's face it couldn't do a worse job than Craig Cameron.

Non access is those without access to the games, essentially a non-ticketed membership.

Probably the fact that we had a lot of new sponsors this year so it was important for them to get on the background, and we just havent changed it since we locked in our final list of sponsors. It has been discussed as to bringing the logo back next year.

Non access is those without access to the games, essentially a non-ticketed membership.
7000 is a large gap when you see clubs like Hawthorn have all but a couple of hundred of their memberships counted in the official AFL tally.
Is the club looking at ways to include "access" to non-access memberships so they count in the official AFL figures? Say for example is it possible to add one-game access to overseas/interstate-based memberships - virtually all will never use the one-game access due to the tyranny of distance so the cost should be close to the current non-access membership yet they would count on the technicality of having one-game access.

Pish posh, I hate people who get defended on the basis of "doing their job" which implies that doing the bare minimum is enough.
Why not hold him accountable for doing his job properly, he doesn't involve himself enough on the forum - I would like him to get back to us quicker when answering questions on the sticky on this forum.
He is on the forum and should be open to feedback - or don't do it.
To his credit, he did respond but I hope he gets more involved. Leave it there.

Pish posh, I hate people who get defended on the basis of "doing their job" which implies that doing the bare minimum is enough.
Why not hold him accountable for doing his job properly, he doesn't involve himself enough on the forum - I would like him to get back to us quicker when answering questions on the sticky on this forum.
He is on the forum and should be open to feedback - or don't do it.
To his credit, he did respond but I hope he gets more involved. Leave it there.
What basis do you judge him not doing his job properly? Do you know what his job statement is, do you know what direction or charter he has been given by his employer? Do you know what other tasks he has to perform in his day's work? Here is his introductory post to this forum:
"Alright I've had a few people ask me to join here, even had an email saying they would reconsider their membership if I didnt...and we don't want that, so here we are.
My initial problem to begin with was that the club has so many forums, I cant be answering everyone's questions all the time but I am here and will be able to get to any posts here every few days, or as soon as I humanly can.
So, fire away
My only groundrules: No footy stuff, I'm not Dimma so I can't tell you why X isn't playing or why Z is...but I can answer other things. Go for it, happy to be here!"
Seems to me he is meeting his commitment to the forum ok. Just because he doesn't answer every question put to him on every forum doesn't mean jack-sh1te when it comes to assessing him "doing his job properly". Feedback (even that spoken in jest) is one thing; uninformed ranting is another entirely.

would agree with all of this.
as long as the replies are truthful and not spin i think we should refrain from the abuse

I don't get people bagging RFCO when previously we (fans on forums) got basically stuff all direct interaction with the communications area of the club. It's a tough gig too currently when we've been crap on-field the past two months.

aaahh i think you mean 30 years OT
Nonetheless i agree 100%
I think its good having direct contact with someone from the club instead of dealing with a young kid picking up the phone when you call the club who probably supports another team.

I think you are the one ranting - on me! You might think he is doing his job well, good luck to you!
I don't when compared to what I see on another forum. I happen to think this forum is de- prioritized compared to another. Rather than ranting and abusing other posters why don't you do your homework? Oh that's right, your sanctimonious attitude to other posters prevents you from thinking that you are ever wrong.

A bit touchy about it aren't you? Don't flatter yourself that I was ranting on you, couldn't be further from the truth actually, my "uninformed ranting" comment was about the number and type of posts that were having a crack at RFCO - maybe I could have worded that a bit better. Not sure that I ever abused you either but there you go, perceptions are for everyone. My sanctimonious attitude? Happy to discuss the topics with anyone and more than happy to be shown where I get it wrong (have often apologised or conceded points on here). Oh, and thanks for actually answering my questions, tells me why you have your point of view and even though I disagree I can understand why you might think that.

He's more a spy than an official,mediating in a manipulative way in an attempt to control the humorously,negative slant we throw onto things.
Otherwise,what has he done for us lately? :wallywink

As we've said numerous times we don't care what happens at other sites/forums so leave discussion about them off OER please.
If you want RFCO to post more here and answer questions then the simple thing to do is ask him a question in the dedicated thread - "We're on Board" - that has been stickied.
http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum/index.php?topic=12342.0
This is by far the easiest way to get a hold of me. I hadnt had a post in my thread between April 12 and August 04, so there was quite a while bewteen drinks there...I can't be trawling through every single thread on forums searching for my name, make it easy for me :) Will get a much quicker response there

Mr RFC_O,
there's been some discussion about our final membership numbers
Club says 47k members, official ALF number is 40k
I asked you this on twitter but if you could answer it here that would be great
Why the difference in the 2 numbers?
And BTW I know you are going to say it's because of the "access & non access members" numbers but could you tell us which categories make up "non access"
Thnx
Non access is those without access to the games, essentially a non-ticketed membership.
7000 is a large gap when you see clubs like Hawthorn have all but a couple of hundred of their memberships counted in the official AFL tally.
Is the club looking at ways to include "access" to non-access memberships so they count in the official AFL figures? Say for example is it possible to add one-game access to overseas/interstate-based memberships - virtually all will never use the one-game access due to the tyranny of distance so the cost should be close to the current non-access membership yet they would count on the technicality of having one-game access.
Im sure membership are looking at every which way to increase ticketed memberships, I just havent discussed the specifics with them. While yes it would be great to be higher on the official AFL figures, we're pretty happy with a record breaking membership year, fans have done us proud.

Cheers WP. I agree it should be released no later than early October after the GF. The Club doesn't have to wait to secure major sponsors this time around.

Cheers RFCO.
Can I ask if the decision makers at the club are aware of our concern over Daniel Jackson's alleged contract extension and us paying too much for Ivan Maric? These are two issues were supporter's sentiment appears to be almost unanimous. Do you take this into account?
Edit: moved question here so RFCO can find it more easily

Yes, RFCO, can you please make any comment on the above 2 issues. I don't know what is more disturbing, Jackson given 2 years or Maric costing us a priority pick (allegedly of course). :banghead
Edit: edited quote
-

Do we?
I would think not really - we know that we have 11 home games in total of which 2 will interstate meaning and we will get 2 away games in Melb as compensation
The only question is how many interstate away games will we have - my guess same as 2011
And if the scenario listed above isn't the what we get then I reckon then the club wil have a lot to answer for (again) re the selling of the home games interstate

think you need to re-read my post. Perhaps I was unclear. I was simply asking if the club takes into account supporters' opinions on these two issues, as they appear to be fairly strong on both fronts.

While I don't speak for them, no, I don't think the football department listens to fans opinions on players. They have a system they grade every single player in the league on and so I reckon they'd stick to that.

Hey Mr RFC_O
What's going on with all the pavers that moved into storage while the development was being done.
Club said once the builing was complete they would be re-laid.
When's it happening and where?

Sorry, all the pavers?
-
There was an initiative a few years back where you could give money to the club and you got a paver with your name on it which was laid at Punt Road. When the development occurred they were put into storage with the view that they would be relaid once the development was complete. At least that was the theory.

Thanks's Oiafi, that's what I am talking about
It was back in 2005 or 2006 when the Club had a major drive for raising funds for the Jack Dyer Foundation for the re-development, this was before we got all the govt funding.
People paid money for pavers that were out the front of the old social club. When the old social club was pulled down the pavers were taken up and put into storage. Everyone with pavers got a letter from Benny Gale saying that once the re-development was finished the pavers would be re-laid most likely near the Jack Dyer statue.
Considering the amounts some people paid (and yes I include myself here because it was a 4 figure amount donated) I was just wondering what was going on with the pavers, when were they going to be re-laid
:cheers

I'll have an answer for everyone next week, the two people that do handled that are currently on holiday.
I can answer this one because I got a letter from the Club (sigend by Benny Gale) last week about this
Wont be until late 2012 :-\
The letter said pavers will be re-laid after the configuration the ground is complete which is planned for sometime late next year. They will be put in front of the Jack Dyer Stand.
Also mentioned some of the pavers have actually been damaged (read broken) and these will be replaced by the club when they are re-laid.
Pleased to have got the letter but disappointed that (1) some pavers have been broken and (2) it's going to be another 12 months before they are on display again

RFCO, I have heard that lapsed RFC members have been sent letters offering to count their previous years of membership in the members rewards program.
Is that correct?
If so, will the same offer be extended to current members who may have missed a season before the rewards program was introduced and therefore missed out on having previous years counted?
One of my pet hates is the way Pay TV throws everything at punters to get them to sign up, but none of the same rewards to loyal customers.
It seems to me like the RFC is treading a similar path here.

Same here - been with them since they started but want to charge me $100 or something to upgrade to HD but I know someone who's just signed up & have got it (HD) thrown in for free because they've signed up for 2 years >:( Even threatening to cancelling my subscription has made no difference :banghead

Fair question I reckon TBR
And TBH I am not sure it's the right thing to do
IIRC in one of the member's survey's (might have been 2009 or 2010) this issue was raised and the results showed that existing members didn't believe it was fair and the club decided not to do it.
So Mr RFC_O does this mean the Club's changed it stance on this :huh

I just checked my inbox after the weekend and found someone had kindly sent an email about the pavers along the same lines as posted by others here.
Just regarding your query regarding the pavers, I received a letter last week from Brendon Gale stating that some of the pavers had been damaged when they were taken up and put into storage. The club will pay to have any repairs to the pavers that were damaged and the all of the pavers will be put down once the ground etc has been reconfigured which it stated in the letter would be finished sometime next year.

It seems to me like the RFC is treading a similar path here.
So, all current Richmond members have the opportunity to have previous years of membership recognised. Any years wanted to be added post 1995, members just need to call the membership team on 1300 742 466 and they will do it for you quick and easily over the phone as all records are up to date and correct on the database.
Pre 1995, the Club gave all members the opportunity to have their correct years credited to their account back in 1995. The Club does acknowledge though, that there are certain members who don’t have their years recognised, but have proof of their membership. So if years prior to 1995 wanted to be credited, members will need to provide some evidence of their membership, via a membership card, proof of purchase or a statutory declaration. If you would like to further discuss, please feel free to contact the membership team during office hours.

Its good to see our marketing and membership departments hard at work offering up new ideas and scouring OER for new ideas. Adds to the academy idea that the club rooted lets hope this one doesnt go the same way :lol

Flags can you explain this comment about an "academy idea".
I presume you're talking about a development academy but can't remember seeing anything about Richmond doing this.
Reading about Chris Bond at Freo, one of his tasks was to set up a development academy.
I also note that St Kilda has now come out and said they are setting up a development academy as well.
It is interesting that some clubs are going in that direction while clubs like Collingwood are using development line coaches within the coaching panel.
To me it seems like an interesting contrast and would be interested in Richmonds approach.
Of course any plan for development must wait until we have all coaches on board but would have thought the type of model dictates the personnel to a large degree.

I believe that vote you're referring to was 85% ok-d it and 15% didn't and membership decided at the time not to go ahead with it.

Fair enough
Although I honestly thought it was 60% + said NO and that's why the club didn't do it

Of course any plan for development must wait until we have all coaches on board but would have thought the type of model dictates the personnel to a large degree.
This forum came up with the academy idea afew years ago and low and behold abit later the club announced an academy at Richmond with players doing classes lol etc. Dont think its still going. We also came up with the membership idea of people being able to get back their lost years of membership. Anyway, its good the club is taking ideas from the supporters and in particular OER Forum. We are clearly the cream of the crop when it comes to the big ideas :lol
-
RFCO, I have heard that lapsed RFC members have been sent letters offering to count their previous years of membership in the members rewards program.
Is that correct?
If so, will the same offer be extended to current members who may have missed a season before the rewards program was introduced and therefore missed out on having previous years counted?
One of my pet hates is the way Pay TV throws everything at punters to get them to sign up, but none of the same rewards to loyal customers.
It seems to me like the RFC is treading a similar path here.
So, all current Richmond members have the opportunity to have previous years of membership recognised. Any years wanted to be added post 1995, members just need to call the membership team on 1300 742 466 and they will do it for you quick and easily over the phone as all records are up to date and correct on the database.
Pre 1995, the Club gave all members the opportunity to have their correct years credited to their account back in 1995. The Club does acknowledge though, that there are certain members who don’t have their years recognised, but have proof of their membership. So if years prior to 1995 wanted to be credited, members will need to provide some evidence of their membership, via a membership card, proof of purchase or a statutory declaration. If you would like to further discuss, please feel free to contact the membership team during office hours.
Thanks for the answer, RFCO.
I do fall into that category and I will make the call.
:cheers

Same here - been with them since they started but want to charge me $100 or something to upgrade to HD but I know someone who's just signed up & have got it (HD) thrown in for free because they've signed up for 2 years >:( Even threatening to cancelling my subscription has made no difference :banghead
Me too, WP and I pay for it at my parents house as well which takes me to $200 a month.
I am with Austar up here but I have had some success in ringing them and telling them I will cut it if they don't give me the same offers I see in the ads.
Have actually had some good wins out of it, such as free features as long as it is connected at the address, and bill discounts.
They have a special department who deal with cancellations, they are the ones to talk to.

IIRC in one of the member's survey's (might have been 2009 or 2010) this issue was raised and the results showed that existing members didn't believe it was fair and the club decided not to do it.
So Mr RFC_O does this mean the Club's changed it stance on this :huh
That's what I thought too WP and it seems the Club has changed it stance.
I believe that vote you're referring to was 85% ok-d it and 15% didn't and membership decided at the time not to go ahead with it.
Fair enough
Although I honestly thought it was 60% + said NO and that's why the club didn't do it
Personally I don't agree with it but end of the day the club's decision
Interesting turn of events. I have argued in favour of this for a number of years, based on my own experience and belief that just because circumstances may have prevented someone from joining one year out of many, it shouldn't cause their "Recognition" to be reset to zero. It was something I included in every member survey I ever completed. I'm like WP in thinking that the most recent vote a year or 2 back went in favour of the "No's" but maybe that's the perception I got when they rejected the proposal. Anyway, like TBR, I will be contacting the club and getting my previous years recognized. Well done RFC!

Mr RFC_O
I have a membership problem (actually this is probably a vent more than anything ;D)
I buy my nephew & niece memberships every year. They live in Qld so it's been easy - Cotchy's Cubs & Coaches Crew it's been for them
Now my nephew is about to turn 18 there doesn't seem to be any options for someone who cannot get to any games :'( :'(
Now I know you are going to say "Tiger Insider" is the way to go.
But the bottom line is that option is of no benefit to him. As he isn't going to get to any games in Melb and he will get to the game at the Gabba in August only. Based on the info available he will only receive the standard members benefits (stickers, lanyard etc) which isn't much
Coupled with that despite having been had Cub memberships since he was 7 - he isn't in the rewards & recognition program because he never had a "match day membership" so he gets no cap, scarf etc until under the R&R program until he has held a "Tiger Insider" membership for 3 or so years.
So I ask what do I do? There doesn't seem to a be a membership category that will be of any benefit to him....
Club should seriously look at bringing back the old "On the Bench" memberships that thay had up until a few season back - it catered for people that simply couldn't get to games
Oh well :-\ :-\
-
WP, the interstate membership is at a reduced rate and allows entrance to 5 home games, including any interstate games.
the other option is to wait until the 3 game memberships are released.
-

Again interstate m'ship is of no benefit al - he can only get to one game, the one at the Gabba in August. So what use is 5 games?
The 3 game membership has already been released it's the Tiger Insider Membership
As I said currently either membership is of no benefit to the kid at all.

sadly billy, all us interstaters are in the same boat.
Because we off loaded the darwin game, i probably wont get to any H&A games this year :'(

Appreciate you're in the same situation al.
I suppose it's just all the more frustrating that he isn't hasn't qulaified fot he rewards & recognition program because he's never had a ticketed membership
Thems the break I suppose
-
if you weren't so cheap to not buy him a ticketed membership for all those years he wouldn't be in this position
i hope you're happy ;D

It's capped at 700

Maurice Rioli is capped at 5,000. Sorry if I lead to any confusion.

Have posted these Q? in the NAB cup thread but have put it here as well to try and get Mr RFC_O's attention ;D
============
Mr RFC_O,
For people attending the NAB cup tomorrow can you please confirm:
- outside which gates will the m’ship tents be?
- Will there be an official club merch stall set up
- Can people collect their members caps or scarves tomorrow night and if so from where
Thanks!
-
One more question RFCO...
Where are the cheer squad sitting at Etihad on Friday night?
-
Whilst I can't say exactly what was discussed, the footy department at the moment are allowing other departments to sit in on their meetings while also introducing the staff member to the team.
Yesterday I was up and I gave a quick 45 second spiel about myself to Dan Connors who introduced me to the 40+ players, coaching staff and football department staff.
I then sat in on the offensive review of Friday night's matches and it was really interesting to see how they do things and what they see as important, also as a fan it was nice to see things being discussed that on the night you think "why did they do that!"
Really good of the football department to do that for everyone, I really think we have one of the more accessible footy department's out there.

Hey Stig,
Quick question
Are the AFL Members with Richmond support included int he current membership tally?
If not whe are you likely to have those numbers
:thumbsup

WP, Im pretty sure they were added a few weeks back. I remember there being a spike of a couple of thousand in a day and that was the reason.
If you skip back a few pages on the Membership thread I recon you will come across it ;)

There was the one after Knighter's pass towards Richo on the open lead bounced at the big fella's toes and he overran it. Another one was the one with Rodan in the goalsquare after a certain goal was stuffed up. Then there were the few 'birds' directed at umps on the field or opposition spectators near the race. Add in the finger pointing at the ump that gave the hands in the back free denying Richo the winning goal against Essendon in a Dreamtime game. You could never deny Richo's passion for the contest :thumbsup.

Well looks like Mr RFC Official gets out of answering another one ;D
From the RFC Site:
Dreamtime match-day info
richmondfc.com.au 11:59 AM Thu 17 May, 2012
Dreamtime game fully ticketed
The MCC has this morning advised that Saturday night’s Dreamtime clash with Essendon is now a fully ticketed game.
This means that no general admission memberships will provide access to the game. All members can still purchase a reserved seat through Ticketek, by visiting this link
The Club highly recommends that members wishing to attend the game should purchase tickets immediately. 16-game members can use the bar code on the back of their membership card to purchase a reserved seat, and have the general admission component of the ticket price removed.
Full article & other details for Saturday night's game see:

As if he's not gonna cop a bagging!!!! ;D
He's more a spy than an official,mediating in a manipulative way in an attempt to control the humorously,negative slant we throw onto things.

Something we're working on, slow developments internally slowing it down.
One of the biggest issues is having facilities for people should we declare them to be open sessions, when we're not hosting its hard to cater for toilets, car parking, etc.
Ive asked again, hoping to get an answer soon.

We had ~2000 online and about 290 questions. As soon as they started coming in I went through them with Brendon and asked him which ones he wanted to answer. We got through about 15 questions, unfortunately because of the 15 minute delay at the beginning we couldnt get through as many as we wanted, Brendon had to go at 6o'clock. We'd set aside an hour and got through about 45mins.

if your not going answer the hard questions why bother

Daniel how true
Stig.i don't know of many happy supporters at the moment and it's not all about what happened on the weekend either
A loss this Saturday and batten down the hatches
Any ground that has been gained will be lost
The club is a laughing stock
People within cannot see this
Maybe the club should take the view of outside looking in .instead of inside looking out
I have just completed a business review of my company and the results were interesting
I think the RFC needs to look at a number of issues and not $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
-
why don't we post the 15 questions here,get the Rfc to have them answered (without the unnecessary 15 minute delay.)
Take a week,mate.
We'll be here....

We had ~2000 online and about 290 questions. As soon as they started coming in I went through them with Brendon and asked him which ones he wanted to answer. We got through about 15 questions, unfortunately because of the 15 minute delay at the beginning we couldnt get through as many as we wanted, Brendon had to go at 6o'clock. We'd set aside an hour and got through about 45mins.
"we got through 15 questions"
hand picked i bet
if your not going answer the hard questions why bother
Well they were picked out of the 250 questions that came in, if you're suggesting we knew what questions were coming in or planted them that wasn't the case. Brendon saw one that he wanted to answer, pointed to it on the screen and I pressed "approve". Standard process we do every chat.
-
Oh dear ::)

maybe that's part of the issue Stig, that is the ones that ended up being selected
Folks are angry (for good reason) and some of the questions selected were or appeared to be a bit soft...
-
Sorry i never once suggested you planted the questions, what i am suggesting is that Brendan carefully selected the questions he was wanting to answer
Here are some questions i would like answered
Why is Daniel Jackson still in the leadership group?
Why were Graham, Mcguane, Jackson signed to long term deals in the past and even as early as this year
A committment was made with Port to play in Darwin and was scrapped, what is stopping you from doing the same with Cairns?
Do you still believe the club is on track for your 3075 prediction, or is it another ploy to keep us members contributing to the club and FTF.
-
and you forgot to add who was the genius who gave the go ahead to dig up Punt Rd mid season. ::)
Forgot about the spin.
Players currently think its painfull traing at Vic Park and others venues.
Maybe the club should of got the players opinion
-
so you think it would be better to dig it up post season, so that the ground is not available pre season, and you trying to get your grass to grow late summer early autumn, possibly giving you a patchy quagmire for much of next year, if there are early winter rains.
-
A committment was made with Port to play in Darwin and was scrapped, what is stopping you from doing the same with Cairns?
The club onsold the darwin game to melbourne, so the overall commitment to the game was kept, just a different participant.
Finding someone else to take over the commitment for cairns could very well be a stumbling block, particulrly as they have probably budgeted for the money and would need to on sell it as well, not just give it away.
-
and you forgot to add who was the genius who gave the go ahead to dig up Punt Rd mid season. ::)
Do you think that has anything to do with the loss in Cairns - please :banghead
Seriously jack when should it have been done?
During pre-season when the number of available venues drops dramatically so the costs to use said venues increases? Continuing our tradition of being "nomads" because the club for reasons they aren't willing to explain refuse to use Craigiebrun (which is the dimensions of OUR HOME ground the MCG - but that's a story for another day)
Just not bother with it and leave it as it is; a sub standard venue in relation to ground size
Funny how people want a stand alone VFL ASAP and want those games played at Punt Road but aren't willing to get the thing up to scratch to allow it to happen
-
Could of waited for another 8 weeks that's all
Plenty of ovals they could use
Trinity Grammar etc etc

Yeah at a cost. Do you think they head of to these places and not have to pay? Unless of course if they go out to Craigieburn; which wouldn't cost them a cent but which they wont do but as I said that's a question/story for another day. Actually maybe it's a question for Mr RFC_O :laugh:
Bottom line is there isn't/wasn't going to be a good time to do it
Personally would rather have it ready for pre-season 2013, which is going to be a make or break year for the RFC because folks like me who weren't expecting finals this year but expect nothing less than finals in 2013
-
Actually I will ask it ;D
Stig,
Why doesn't the club use/utilise Cragieburn more for training now that Punt Road is being re-configured and more importantly is the same size as our HOME ground the MCG?
Considering all the fanfare when it was announced that it was being built with only Govt monies for use by the RFC without the Club having to contribute a single cent instead contributing some goodwill I find it staggering we aren't using it more.
It seems the Club have washed there hands of it - why?
Thanks

We were there last week, the now infamous site of Foley's injury.

if you wait another 8 weeks, then you finish the project 8 weeks later, at least, which means the ground is not ready for pre season.
is that what you want? to be able to whinge about that?
also, as i alluded to previously, the timing for planting/laying grass is critical. spring is the growing season, you want your grass established before the heat of summer sets in, not trying to establish during that heat.
it wouldn't matter what they did here, you would complain.
-

Yes I know that
But why doesn't the club just use it (and I don't think the surface had anything to do with the Foley inj BTW) for all on field training between now and when Punt Road is ready?
Rather than chopping and changing venues 3 times a week? Surely continunity and a routine would be a good way to go?
Again and it's just a personal view ;) I don't think the Club uses Craigieburn to its advantage on a number of levels TBBH

Tell you something Al
I am involved in stadiums and grounds etc as a major supplier of products
I have no heard so much garbage
Then again nothing surprises me with the efforts in regards to the half finished social club at the start of last year where no air conditioning was connected and didn't have the vision to organize TV screens and foxtel connections etc
It isn't that hard

I can tell you Jack, that what you are spruiking as possible is only partially possible at a very high cost (to our club in this case). What is real and cost-effective is the approach the club have taken so be careful where you throw around the word "garbage" - some of us are heavily invested in this very area and might know just a tad about what is possible too. Not for the first time you appear to be demanding a resolution that satisfies a need for instant gratification and an outlet for venting prejudice, and rejecting the notion that the club might have actually done it's research, done it well, and come up with the best possible plan.
-
Well research this
Players ain't happy training elsewhere
End of story
-
Also if your heavily invested
Make things happen
-
Well research this

If they aren't happy (which I doubt) I would suggest they toughen up and say "hello" to the real world
Which does involve having to do things we aren't keen on

Tell you something Smokey
If the RFC was perfect and the correct decisions made
We would be on top of the ladder and playing finals
Sadly off and on the field we have failed for the past 30 years
We are getting somewhat better but are still a long way off the pace.off and on the field
The argument about selling games is a disgrace if you cannot win the actual games
Especially against a team who were winless

If the RFC was perfect and the correct decisions made then we would not be having this conversation. But.......I challenge you to present the name of any football club (global, any code) in history who are perfect and make all the correct decisions. Actually, I'll up the ante, I challenge you to present the name of any entity - football club, business, corporation, not for profit, government, religion etc etc - in any historical era who were/are perfect and made/make all the correct decisions. Just one Jack, give me just one and I'll admit that the RFC are negligent in their efforts.
How do you think any football club will go, climbing out of the molasses of muck that RFC circa 2009 was in, if it's not "We are getting somewhat better but are still a long way off the pace, off-field and on-field"? Really, what were your expectations of the future of our club back in 2009? I don't know what your point of "selling games is a disgrace" in the context of the timing of digging up Punt Road is but I will say this - I am an advocate of Gale's mantra that the club needed to correct it's off-field issues first, before concentrating on-field, and to that end I will always believe that what the club did was right in taking the money for a couple of years in an effort to accelerate debt-reduction and regain financial control, especially considering that during those years they were never going to be a genuine threat to the flag. Gale stated this very thing from Day One and has not deviated, thankfully, as the reactions and pressure from disappointed supporters to unforeseen losses have impacted publicly on the club.
And finally, I will correct your misinterpretation (not necessarily your fault) of my statement "some of us are heavily invested in this very area". What I meant was that some of us are heavily and directly involved in the very industry(s) performing the ground reshaping and landscaping work at Punt Road, and as such have solid and extensive knowledge on the realities of the work and timeframes involved. It is an arrogant statement to admit you work in an unrelated area in stadia, yet dismiss other opinions as "garbage".

Depends on how you look at it '65. I would suggest they have made a number of significant boo boos on their journey - handling and protection of personal/private information would be one? Zuckerberg's private photo collection becoming public a case in point.

Pointless going any further with this Smokey
RFC are the premier sporting organization in Australia
You would have to be joking
I love the Tiges more than anyone.but the cold hard facts that this football have been a rabble for many years
Even 2 weeks ago the events surrounding the suspended players
We have a best opportunity in many years and a minority group of players stuff it up for others
Poor leadership you will find
Selling the games is a joke if you can't win them
Coaching in the last minute of the game last week was an absolute disgrace
Why haven't the club got someone to mentor Hardwick and show and guide him is beyond belief really
Place is a circus .has been for 20 odd years
And am sick to death of Jack Riewoldt saying he bleeds yellow and black.said again tonight on SEN when he was doing a live golf promotion of all things
Please spare me
-
Jack, name a club that has made a grand final othe last 30 years that has had a senior coach in the box guiding them! You can't because there is none! This who senior coach/Director of coaching crap is media driven bullsit. Look at Melbourne :lol Fat lot of good it is doing for them!
The final minuts of the game last week should fall back onto the players and the lack of leadership on field at the time Not The Coach! It has been reviewed and spoken about on every football show on television and not once has anyone said it was poo coaching! Paul Roos even stated that the Players should know how to set up in the dying minuts and have to be told. Cotchin has admitted he brought himself off, had nothing to do with the Coach and as I stated in another thread the ten or a dozen onfield mistakes in that last 30 seconds had nothing to do with the coach!
You say we stuffed up by suspending/delisting Conners and Martin but yet you also say they (Conners and Martin) have derailed our season because of the lack of leadership at the club WTF?? Surly then the club showed who's boss by making a stand and showing everyone there actions are not acceptable at this Club!
You say you love the club yet every single post of yours seems to bag it! When things are going rosy your not heard of but as soon as we have a loss your all over our recruiting, the coach and the processes the club is going through, mate its time to move on and get a life FFS....
-
You experts bag me
Maybe you should bag the club
You people are blinded
Why was our best player left on the bench for the last 2 minutes of the game?
I have spoken to someone in the footy dept today and they didn't know and shrugged there shoulders
I tell you why? It's a circus that's why !!
Can tell you that KB will turn the heat up on the club in next few days
-
I have a life thank you very much
Just very passionate about the Tiges
Sick to death of being losers
And don't forget .we have another episode of Jack Riewoldt on the footy show tomorrow night
I won't be watching
Hate seeing people making a goose of themselves

What are you trying to say mate? Exactly how was it Hardwicks fault?? Cotchin brought himself off with two minuts to go (big mistake by Cotch IMO) do you think Hardwick told him to stay there his day was done? No you fool, it was up to just one of the other 18 nuffers out there to come off and make the change! Cotch was standard on the bench and in all honesty if he was any sort of a leader (wich many here are touting) he would have stayed out there and not come off in the first place.
Secondly why dont you answer any of my other questions? Besides constantly baging the club your also very good at avoiding questions you have no answer for :wallywink
-
well
Give me a question and I will answer it
-
well
Give me a question and I will answer it
Read and you will see the questions! Reply to the comments that shut your stupid rants down. If you read my first post I had allready pointed out Cotch brought himself off and it had nothing to do with the coach but then the very next post you ask why was Cotch on the bench in the final minuts! WTF are you on??
-
TFT you can't be serious?
If it weren't for Cotch the game would've been over at half time. Actually if it weren't for Cotch the season would've been over a month ago.
It was ultimately Dimmas fault for not organising the rotations. He is the coach and admitted himself it was a breakdown of "communication"
"he couldn't get anyone to come off" we're his words
At the end of the day what's done is done only a win now can reverse that loss
Mr official I'm still waiting for my question to be answered re: Daniel Jackson although I'm not expecting it to come any time soon

:lol i thought you changed light bulbs, so what the eff has that got to to do with the management of digging up a ground and getting grass sowed/laid and ready for the next pre season?
To me , your desire to criticise the club sees you post some ignorant crap, and then simply excrete more out of your blurter trying to to justify your original stupidity, but i'll give you a chance to show otherwise..
Tell us when the ground should be dug up, how long it will take to realign it, spread and level the topsoil, install irrigation and drainage, what method of establishing grass to use, and how long this will take to get to a point where it can be regularly run on without destroying the grass.
if your timing means the grass is trying to establish during the dry heat of summer, what measures would you take to help it along?
basically give us a comprehensive plan of how it could be ready for next pre sesason by starting the work 8 weeks later.
If possible jackie boy, dont answer by deflecting , just answer the effing questions above.
willing to bet you cant, coz you dont know what you are talking about.

Hi Stig,
Wonder if you can clarify something that Lids was reported as saying in his presser today? He was reported as saying that for the first time in his eight years at the club, he had an individual video review and that previously all the video reviews were team reviews.
This sounds a little hard to believe. Is it true that the RFC hasn't been doing individual video reviews with players after games in the past?
Thanks in advance for your clarification

What he meant was that it was the first time all coaches sat in on player video reviews, as opposed to only 1 on 1 with line coaches which is what usually happens.

For the record we have never had the Club ever contact OER to tell us what opinions are or aren't allowed to be posted.
In fact those here who attended a certain fan forum at Punt Rd can vouch that one OER Mod (me ;D ) got stuck into Craig Cameron over us winning meaningless games at the end of 2009 and missing out on a priority pick that could have got us a Nathan Fyfe or Ryan Bastinac. I can also vouch that only OERites (all 3 of us lol) voted against the RFC Board having appointed (ie. non-elected) board members at last year's AGM.

-
On the superstore, back in March they had a birthday offer for jumpers.
I placed an order for a sublimated one as was told they were on order, alas that was the last I heard of that, what happened?????
-
nope, still get the error message about log in details and or password being wrong.
when purchasing, the checkbox, or whatever, doesn't appear besides "do you have a gift voucher, either.
Can you send me an email?
Email digital@richmondfc.com.au with what you think your username/password is and I'll check
Cheers
I logged into "my richmond account' and changed my password to do this.
just out of curiosity i went back and tried to log in to the online store with new password...and it worked :huh3 changed my password back, and yeah, it now works
still cant use a gift voucher to make a purchase though. the input box appears for promo code, but not for do you have a gift voucher.
i rang up and made the purchase over the phone.
on a brighter note, pretty happy about being able to purchase skins using the gift cards. They are a good practical addition to the store

Cotchy's cubs from 12-12.30 on the G, membership should have sent you all the info.

-

So you haven't received anything yet in 'You Original email" you were told it was 1.00 :huh :huh I think if you read above you have been advised now ;D
-
I just resubmitted and got a confirmation email which I didn't get when I first submitted
The email clearly states its at 1.00pm outside Gate 1
So I don't know where RFC offical gets 12-12.30 from

Please advise
So you haven't received anything yet in 'You Original email" you were told it was 1.00 :huh :huh I think if you read above you have been advised now ;D
Honestly
Why be smart ?
The club advises once you submitted you will receive a confirmation email which I didn't receive and have been awaiting 2 weeks for
I resubmitted 10 minutes ago and received confirmation details of what the kids are to bring and wear
Email clearly states have to be there at 1pm
Don't know why I bother on here
Hang on how am I being smart?? maybe you should re word you post's so it makes sence.
You originally wrote...... "havent received anything was told orginal email it was at 1.00pm? Please advise"
Then you wrote......The club advises once you submitted you will receive a confirmation email which I didn't receive and have been awaiting 2 weeks for
I resubmitted 10 minutes ago and received confirmation details of what the kids are to bring and wear
Email clearly states have to be there at 1pm
So did you get an "Original email"?? or are you just making crap up again to make try and make the club look ass :wallywink
-
Why don't you read
I didn't receive confirmation email with all details on it
Eg what to wear etc etc etc
Then RFC offical says the clinic is on 12-12.30
Gates don't open till 1.15 on the confirmation email
Obviously you don't have kids.thank god !
-
He does have kids

For starters whats this got to do with kids? Secondly If you didn't receive the Confirmation email then what is the "original" email you talk about ??
again you said and I quote......"havent received anything was told orginal email it was at 1.00pm?" So did you or did you not receive anything?? And did Membership send you something or not?
Try answering the questions instead throwing insults.....
-
My daughter received an email on the 14th August inviting her to the clinic
Once you RSVP you were to receive a confirmation email outlining her day
That email was never received

You must be a complete clown " what's it got to do with kids"
It's a kids clinic you imbecile !!!

I did
But never received the confirmation after I RSVP
I repeat ::)
-
Everyone who has RSVP-d will get a confirmation email in next 48 hours.
Think there was a mis communication between the person I asked and his boss, just double checked and it may be 1pm. But as I said, confirmation email coming to all that have RSVP-d shortly.

When do we find out officially who's captain

Players will probably vote during pre-season. Either that or footballing legend Hardwick & his crew may just pick the captain. Normally done by vote though ;D

When do we find out officially who's captain
That is still TBD. They could decide on the pre-season camp.

Anyone like it, dislike it, don't care? Would like some feedback if anyone has any.

Would be absolutely sensational to have seating around Punt Road Oval.
Be fantastic to watch matches at Punt Road Oval and I for one would be a regular attendee.
Be great if fully paid members attend for free. Or just a small price $5?

And it would increase the reserved seat sales at the G as well.

In my finest accountants voice.., ah hem.....
"We regard that our operating profit is the same as our statutory profit being $3.17 million. We reach this position on the basis that fundraising:
Has been a significant part of our revenue profile for many years;
We have appointed two dedicated fundraising employees during the course of 2012 to ensure that this aspect of our operation will continue to be a significant revenue stream into the foreseeable future; and
Given that the fundraising function is embedded into our overall organisational structure, it is difficult to precisely identify all costs attributable to the fundraising department.
Nevertheless, in answer to your question, our profit for the year would be $1.3 million if the net proceeds from the Fighting Tiger Fund were removed from our result."

The match guernseys get auctioned or kept. They might use some old training guernseys, like the red ones or the yellow ones. It's all TBD. We're just keeping them incase we need them.
Might have a massive garage sale this time next year if we don't need them....

A.M. and P.M. start immediately after Midnight and Noon (Midday) respectively.
This means that 00:00 A.M. or 00:00 P.M. (or 12:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M.) have no meaning.
Every day starts precisely at midnight and A.M. starts immediately after that point in time e.g. 00:00:01 A.M.

I'm guessing the RFCO will record the game (the coaches need the footage to show the players how they went) while streaming it and put it up on the RFC website.
I'm going to miss the all stars game on friday night but was wondering if you guys plan on keeping the streamed version and putting it up on the richmond or AFL site?
Tiger fans can tune into Richmond’s clash against the Indigenous All Stars, played in Alice Springs, by logging on to richmondfc.com.au.
The game will be streamed live on the Club’s website on Friday, February 8, from 8pm-12am AEDT (6.30pm-10.30pm local time).

That should be 12 midnight not 12am.
:thumbsup
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/noon.htm
A.M. and P.M. start immediately after Midnight and Noon (Midday) respectively.
This means that 00:00 A.M. or 00:00 P.M. (or 12:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M.) have no meaning.
Every day starts precisely at midnight and A.M. starts immediately after that point in time e.g. 00:00:01 A.M.
Strictly speaking a.m. stands for ante meridiem (before midday) so 12:00 a.m. still makes sense if you treat midnight as the beginning of a new day. Even "12 midnight" is strictly not clear as it doesn't state whether it's the end of the old day or start of the new day. If we really wanted to avoid confusion then we'd all use the 24hr clock instead with midnight 0:00 and midday 12:00 as they do in continental European countries. Thus end the nerdy off-topic lecture ;D.

Yeah well I hope they keep it on the site so I could watch it on the Saturday or the Sunday when I have time. Need RFCO to answer this for me, or wait and find out haha

It will be a YouTube player that we don't control initially, I believe they will keep it there and you can just replay it. Will ask around.

RFCO will you be doing commentary on Friday night? If it's not already planned, get it done. Think you deserve the holiday to NT anyway. :clapping

On a serious note, will there be commentary on the stream? I've watched some of those NT league games (by some I mean 1 for a total of 3 minutes. :lol) and they were commentated. Or will it just be a video stream of the game.

I beleive no. We're taking an AFLNT feed, so they made add a commentary team late to the piece but at the moment I believe not. Or they might sync in the radio feed? Not sure.

This whole telecast or lack of telecast is very disappointing.
You have some of the best indigenous talent on show, an almost full strength AFL team, and you can't get decent coverage.
Appreciate the effort to get something going but it sounds like it's going to be a real effort to watch. I will be glued to the computer, or T-Box but I'm not really looking forward to it.
Now no commentary, it just gets worse and worse.
Why the hell is NITV telecasting that ridiculous Rugby game? I don't buy they can't do both excuse. If they can only do one it should be the AFL. NRL, bloody laughing stock stupid boring game. How embarrassing.
Why do the stuffing Bulldogs get televised when they played this game a few years ago. Twice if I remember. stuffing bulldogs guys!!! They have no supporters, teeth or soap.
Sick of the AFL treating the RFC as a joke. Surely the club has noticed that we get no free kicks from the league but still we bend over and take it.

Yeah some did not all but the Club was going to replace then we they were re-laid which is suppose to happen around now seeing the ground has been re-configured (I'm sure that was what the last letter said).
Not that I've really understood why they had to wait till the ground re-config was finished seeing the 2nd last letter said they'd be re-laid near the Dyer statue :-\
But would like a definitive answer though

I've been told that the club has been selling seat upgrades to members this week. Which is great

How can that be when I was told by membership before the season started that all seats up there had been sold out?

The pavers dude
I'll have an answer for everyone next week, the two people that do handled that are currently on holiday.
I can answer this one because I got a letter from the Club (sigend by Benny Gale) last week about this
Wont be until late 2012 :-\
The letter said pavers will be re-laid after the configuration the ground is complete which is planned for sometime late next year. They will be put in front of the Jack Dyer Stand.
Also mentioned some of the pavers have actually been damaged (read broken) and these will be replaced by the club when they are re-laid.
Pleased to have got the letter but disappointed that (1) some pavers have been broken and (2) it's going to be another 12 months before they are on display again
Hi Stig,
18 months on and still no pavers but of more concern/frustration since the letter from the Club back in Nov 2011 not a word.
Any idea when these we be re-laid or at a minimum some idea what is going on with them?
Maybe I should be asking for a refund? Certainly tempted (yes not very happy with the club at the moment and it has nothing to do with the on field)
Thanks,
WP

They will be re-laid out the front of the Jack Dyer Stand as part of the new Punt Road Oval interface, which are the next works to be completed.

All well & good Stig but when will that be exactly?
2013, 2014 or perhaps 2015? (excuse my cynicism & sarcasim - said I wans't happy)
And BTW is does this new PRO Interface have something to do with VFL side of things

The bricks no longer exist. I went down there and asked to see them, thought they must be on a pallet in a shed somewhere, but their exact location could not be determined, they aren't on site, maybe Gary March's garage :shh

Jack, I have no problem with them not re-laying them while all the construction was going on.
But I have letter sigend by B. Gale that says they were to be re-laid late 2012.
Since then basically nothing.
For those pavers I donated a reasonable amount to the JDF (pre Govt funding) to assist with the re-development at Punt Road.
I also understand going by Stig's repsonse that there is about to be more work done around the ground. So if that means an other delay then that's OK too as I think enough of them were broken when they moved them back in 2010-2011
But I just wont to know, when? Surely it isn't that hard :huh
As I said I am not to happy with the club at the moment over a few things and it has nothing to do with the on-field side performances.
Just want an answer on this, think people who donated deserve a more definitive answer

It's a fair question to ask. What is the answer?

The question is so fair and obvious that an answer should have been given before the question was even asked.
"It wasn't awarded after the game because..."
It took 22 hours from the final siren for the winner to be announced – without even a comment from the winner or a photo to show he had received it – just a hastily put together re-hash of the article that was published on the club's website last week.
Exceptionally poor effort or a set of exceptional circumstances?

There was a change to the voting system for this year, wasnt done at the ground/on the day. Hence the delay.

They should use the coaches votes for the medal.
Some of the voting from the journos was ridiculous. I take it some of them weren't at the match. TW is on another planet I'm sure.
No offense to Ty since he did have a good game but, and no offense to Cotch either, how on earth did Cotch nearly win it?

Hey Stig,
Think we might need further clarification on how the pre-sale of finals tickets works for members, in particular if we have to face C'wood.
Two large memberships bases and not enough tickets for all the members of both clubs.
How does it work to ensure those guaranteed tickets as part of thier membership category actually get tickets when both clubs will purchasing at the same time?
Or hasn't this info come through from the HQ yet? or more to the point haven't HW thought about it ;D
Thanks

But would of though Innner Sanctum , 3121, Maurice Rioli and current reserved seat holders should have preference over basic membership if the situation arises
yes & Nope but more nope
Inner Sanctum are guaranteed tickets to ALL finals including GF - this is because it is deemed a Coterie as opposed to a membership category
3121 - well waiting on confirmation but definitely guranteed GF tickets if we get there. But conflicting info on whether there a guarantee for tickets to ALL finals. Had someone speak to the Club about it yesterday and was told I think yes but will clarify nest week
MRC - as al posted yesterday, after speaking to membership MRC guarantees you GF ticket only and access to purchase tickets to weeks 1-3 of the finals but it isn't a guarantee for weeks 1-3.
***Access to purchase means you get access the "pre-sale" on the Monday morning 9am to 1pm before tickets go on sale to the general public
Reserved seat holder? Don't quite why you'd throw those in Jack. they are classified as Access (standard/basic members) Granted those who have reserved seats in level 2 of the Southern Stand are now guranteed a GF ticket, like MRC they are only guaranteed access to purchase tickets
Can I make just 2 points:
1/ the system for getting finals tickets based on the info the club has suppled thus far is the system that's been in place for a number of years. So it clearly works but seeing we haven't been in the finals since 2001 the club must ensure that how it all works is clearly explained to it's members. That has been done to a point but the one thing that hasn't been made clear is how ticketing will work to ensure that folks with a guarantee will defintely get tickets if end up in game against someone who has as big as or bigger mebership base than us.
2/ The only game that there might be a problem with getting tickets is if we face C'wood. Based on ladder postions as they stand we would paly them week 1. With 2 massive membership bases and there being Members of both teams that have a guarantee to tickets for ALL finals there has to be some mechanism in place that ensures that those people who have paid for the privlege get that privlege.
So as I said in point 1 that was the reason for question to Mr RFC_O how does that side of it work?
Unfortunately the answer I got wasn't what I was hoping for but not unexpected. So I will admit to being slightly bewildered that it hasn't been dicsussed and a plan in place. First finals campaign in over decade, you don't leave anything to chance and leave it to the last minute

if we end up playing port it's likey that will be at docklands and getting tickets will be as much if not more of a problem than V colonwoood at the 'G

TBH al, I can't see the AFL scheduling us at Docklands, they get the $$ from the gate for Finals. We guarantee them a very handsome gate indeed. Also, I reckon if we play Port it will at the MCG and it will be the "series" game - the one where finals series ticket holders get access to

At the Inner Sanctum pre-match they told us they had been planning and discussing things with the AFL for a couple of weeks so they'd be ready if we qualified

Hey Stig,
Has anyone else reported problems playing video from the RFC/AFL site lately? I upgraded my iThingee to IOS 6.1.3 and it's stopped playing the video. Youtube videos play fine. I've reset the device, rebooted, tried most things .....
Just wondering if it is only me?

Hey Stig,
Any idea when the club will be launching its 2014 memberships?
And please dont' say after the fixture is released. ;D As you don't really need it seeing (1) pricing has been set for Level 2 reserved seating and the fact the club sold memberships this year for next year (you know the buy for 2014 get the remainder of 2013 free).

And can I add (and I know I am not comparing apples with oranges) it has always staggered me that NRL Clubs start selling their memberships for next season before the current season is finished and way before their fixture is released (NRL release after the AFL)
I have already received my North Qld 2014 renewal - got it a forntight ago and I see Melbourne Storm are selling for 2014 as well
TBBH the fixture should have nothing to do with it.
All teams get 11 home games and 11 away games. The only thing that is a little "murky" IMV is the number of away games in Melbourne but in our case it will be either 16 or 17 which doesn't equate to much in the pricing

I think we'd rather be 100% in all our marketing with the fixture so our members can be sure and not guessing, hence the wait, but as I said I'd have to ask.

Hi Stig,
What's the thought process behind switching from the brand name KooGa to WRS' other brand BLK?

And why are we the only AFL club in their stable doing it? Bulldogs have just re-signed with them BTW but are remaining with the KooGa brand
Find it is surprising that we're making the change

The company is discontinuing the KooGa brand, so we didnt really have a choice. If you saw the Lions gear yesterday at their training session, they are now BLK as well.

Hi RFCO,
From my conversing with more knowledge Richmond fans there seems to be a growing sense of concern at the off season dealings of the Richmond Football Club. Of the seven new additions to the team only one is a 'kid' / 'youth' (17, 18, 19 years of age). The point has been raised that this is a terribly short sighted method to handle list management aspirations. What can you tell me to alleviate such concerns? No doubt many will feel heartened at the prospect of not having a list barren of young talent.

They will be in the media no doubt soon enough.
A brief history: we drafted the equal most 18 year olds last year (but media decided to focus on Stephenson, Petterd and Lonergan), and this year we lost some experience in Tuck, White, Nahas and McGuane. The team finished 5th at the end of H&A so we're close to where we want to be. We drafted in three mature ages whilst still having Darrou and Cadeyn Williams on the rookie list, I don't see anything major to be worried about.

Extremely disappointing. The new clash is worse than the current (that was voted for in 2006). The club should've done the right thing and put it to a poll like we did in 2006. It's not that hard to do but Kooga are obviously tossers to deal with.
We are still using our 2013 old pre season gear to train with. This wouldn't happen with other apparel manufacturers but it does with kooga or whatever they're called now. and then the club goes and resigns with them till 2017 :banghead

Fair point Stig but as I said when the Club had to first find a clash jumper it gave the members a say, there was an on-line vote.
Club came up with for memory 3 designs and then the members had the final say as it was a massive decision and the club gave the members a say in chosing the one they wanted. This decision to allow members a vote on it was done based on the club's own research and member feedback that showed the Club what things were the most important to the membership.
So now it appears to me at least that the Club has backflipped on this and the wishes of the membership is not being considered because it's all about the "brand" and the clubs ability to market said brand is the main focus.
Yes we need to trust the club on certain decisions that's a given because that's what they are empowered to do
But at the same time I just think the club should acknowledge, respect and trust it's members and their undestanding of the "brand" too.

Gee you say some really stupid things ::) KooGa (now BLK) don't design the jumpers; the club does, club gives the design to the manufacturer and they produce samples, club reveiws it and then once final design is agreed too the manufacturer produces it.
But I do agree with you (obviously) re the about the members getting a say
We are still using our 2013 old pre season gear to train with. This wouldn't happen with other apparel manufacturers but it does with kooga or whatever they're called now. and then the club goes and resigns with them till 2017 :banghead
Again agree with you about the club still using the KooGa branded stuff, poor effort from the BLK not having it ready for the start of pre-season.
But FYI all other clubs sponsored by KooGa/BLK (read Bulldogs and Lions) have their new gear. Actually for someone who follows what other clubs are doing I am surprsied you didn't notice that ;D
So the question should be why do these other BLK sponsored clubs have their and we don't?
On you other point about it wouldn't' happen with any other apparel supplier, suggest you have a look at a few other clubs and you might be surprised ;D

Then why is Kooga stuff much worse quality ? Must be on a higher wage at the adidas sweatshop. Seriously the kooga gear is best and less material
I buy new gear every year
And I can say that the KooGa stuff quality wise has been some of the best stuff we've had. Exceptional quality and vlaue for $$$
Much better than the Reebok stuff and the Nike stuff we had back in the early 2000's
Agree with this. Kooga/BLK apparel is excellent quality.

That's 2 people who like their stuff out of approx 65,000 members. They're gaining a bit of respect

In all seriousness, outside of you and couple of others I haven't heard many complaints about KooGa/BLK gear
I know a fair few people that have bought the stuff over the last 3 seasons and all of them agree, the quality is excellent

Why don't you have a look at the embroidery close up of the RFC logo on the hoodies/polos? Makes me want to cry. Also many people have complained about crooked collars on the jumpers, and stitching hanging off stitched areas of the merchandise. You can get better quality embroided and stitched clothes at best and less.

Well considering the only things I ever buy are the polos, hoodies, caps & jackets I reckon I can comment on them and say I've never had a problem with the embroidery, it's look great.
As for "stitching hanging off stitched areas" - can tell you this happens with all clothing no matter what the brand or what type of clothing. All these things no matter the brand are massed produced and the finishing out of the sweat shops in Asia is poor very poor.
Last Adidas top I bought I had to return because when we got it home and took it out of the packet we found the stiching under the arm was missing...

Hey Stig,
What's happened to our sponsor Signet?
Their logo is a glaring omission from the sleeve of the new polo

They are no longer a sponsor.

Then you post a pic of the terrible embroidery and show us. If it was so bad, so terrible then why didn't you return it?
As opposed to me accepting mediocrity (which I don't) I would say that you simply just like sooking about the brand the Club is sponsored by in this case KooGa/BLK because you are obsessed with with wanting another company.
No doubt if we were sponsored by ISC you'd find something to sook about regarding them ;D

ISC have much better merchandise and a better merchandise quality than KooGa. Go and have a look at their Geelong/Sydney/GWS/Freo stuff and you'll see. Jumpers are also higher standard colour and material wise.

Hey Stig,
I take it with the AGM tomorrow and not having received any voting papers there were only the minimum number nominations for the board this year = no election required?
Also, just on the financial results and them not being on line until later in the week. I was under the impression that the club was required to supply details of these to all members before the AGM?

No nominations for the board were received during the nominations period, so the two Directors were reappointed unopposed.
With regards to the financial report, the Club issue a copy annually to those that have requested it in prior years. If you want, we can add your email to the list (if you dont already have it).

No I have a copy of the financials ;D
Only reason I asked was because I was of the understanding that under corps law the Club is required to release its Concise Fin reports to its members prior to the AGM (think it is fixed number of days prior) so the members can review and then the reports can be voted on to be accepted at the AGM, hence why they are usually loaded on the web-site prior to the AGM.

Hey RFCO,
When they put a scoreboard in at PRO do you know if they will keep the enormous Tiger sign that's where the old scoreboard was?
Personally I hope they do, would look great on the TV if the game was televised and would really let the opposition know they are in enemy territory.

A professional sports club should not be training in last years apparel in 2014. Unacceptable and a sign of accepting mediocrity
Kooga/BLK should be made to pay for their mistakes. They can't even get our new 2014 gear ready. GAGF. Wouldn't happen with the major sporting apparel manufacturers

They seem to look after Brisbane a bit better than us. They've had their BLK gear since pre season began in November.

Hey RFCO,
What's the story with Todd Banfield?
Most of the time when we recruit someone like him we get a video introduction or at least a written interview. We haven't even got any decent shots of him training either in still shots or in the training videos. I know he's there because he appears in a couple of the group shots. All we have is a short bit on how Richo thinks he's a good selection.
Almost get the feeling he's a bit peeed off we selected him and he really wanted to be rookied by Brisvegas. Of course I know this isn't the case but it's been really silent about him.
I want to hear how happy he is to be with us and how he thinks we are on the verge of greatness and how he loves training with the boys and how everyone's been really welcoming.

Glad to know
It's a good looking range this year.
Got a new BLK cap (black media one) for Xmas and it's fantastic. It fits much better than the last KooGa one I bought in 2012
Sadly I can't wear the member's one, it's too small, not designed for "big headed" folks like me ;D

That's the news I want to hear. I suppose he's really impressed with the facilities too. ;D

Hey RFCO, who is the new shorts sponsor? I hope we get a massive deal like Sydney did with Wolkswagen. Apparently deal was well into the millions

2015 is also our 130th anniversary. Would be good to have a few different heritage jumpers worn during that season

First team we wore the reverse sash in 1914 was against the saints in round 1. Maybe we can wear the reversed thin sash against them this year as a tribute

Hi Stig,
Is it true the Club didn't send our membership renewals in the mail this year, all have been done via E-mail? What about folks who don't have email?
Also has a hard copy of the year book been produced? When it was announced (via email) that you'd receive them electronically there was an option that you could still get a hard copy. I selected that option and still haven't received one

Pretty sure it was last year and related the "Fighting tiger" Magazine which the year book is falls under I reckon :-\
If they are not producing it then I come back to one of my old chestnut questions what about those members who don't have email (and yes there are some folks that don't)
Personally I'd prefer a hardcopy and I'd argue that there are some things the club should just do. I understand they want to keep costs down but there are somethings that the cost should not be a factor. It's a balancing act for sure but they appear to be IMHO targeting the wrong things/areas.
And before Stig comes on here and tells me you can print the yearbook in "pdf" form, I've done that and the quality is average at best ;)
-
then buy a decent printer, after all, there are some things that cost shouldn't be a factor
:outtahere

Hey Stig
Adding to WP's question above, I was told yesterday (my father - Gold Member) that there is no option when renewing on the web to select "manual" renewal, that you could only choose "automatic". I can't check that because my membership is automatic and monthly. Can you confirm if this is the case and if so how do you choose "manual"?
-
I'm gonna buy a 3d printer and print out an adidas version of the 2014 Richmond jumper + adidas Richmond apparel.
Then I'll be the only one wearing quality merchandise at RFC games
-
I can understand them not printing the Fighting Tiger etc but to not print and send out a 1 page renewal form is very very cheap from the club. The club has signed 40,000 members already that means at best theres 30,000-35,000 members who havent renewed. At $0.60 for postage thats just $21,000 in total add some costs for the envelopes and the printing, lets say $30,000 all up. The club just made a truckload of cash. I think its poor.

I can't check that because my membership is automatic and monthly. Can you confirm if this is the case and if so how do you choose "manual"?
Yep, as posted below.
In the same vein, I went online to renew my membership and was given two options for future payments:
1) committed tiger monthly payment or
2) committed tiger annual payment.
I added a message to say I was not happy that the club had presumed I would renew my membership.
While I have continued to buy a membership for over ten years, I hate the idea that the club has decided I will be a committed member in the future.
It's my bloody money and I want to decide how I spend it in the future.
I have just got an email telling me that those are the only two options for online renewal and if I don't want to commit for the future I can renew over the phone.
IMO a very arrogant way to treat members who are renewing, surely it's not that hard to keep the future committment part as an option.
-
Thanks RT. The old man will be happy that he's not going senile and he got it correct but I agree 100% with what you say - it is arrogance to remove that option. I don't understand why businesses in general often make it harder and brick build walls when all you want to do is spend some of your money with them. :-\ :banghead

Hopefully a big name although that doesn't explain why they aren't wearing the blk pre season singlets. I thought that's what they wear in the pre season. I've never seen us wear actual guernseys in the pre season like we are now

The design of the online membership renewal assists the membership department in forcing members to be have monies deducted automatically at set times.
As such it allows them to avoid having to ask members to renew each year and thus they can spend their time on getting new members.
Highly unlikely that the club's membership department would want any change to the present design.
Part of the lack of respect towards members that the Essendon member was complaining about at their AGM.
When the professionals at the club are inside their bubble it is very difficult to see any other viewpoint but their own (or their professional peers at other clubs).
Richmond staffers really care about them but sometimes members are just too difficult to herd without forcing their behaviour.

Hi Richmond twitter guy.
Can I just say that was a totally inadequate response to Smokey's concerns.
'Hey Smokey, PM me your Dad's details and I will arrange for someone from the membership department call to call your father to sign him up straight away'
would have been a more appropriate response for a Gold member. If it is indeed 'an issue' with the Ticketmaster webpage, why hasn't the club notified anyone and why isn't it being more proactive about contacting affected members, rather than blithely telling them that over the phone is the only way to do year-to-year memberships this year.
I have got concerns about this matter as a whole, it is tricking the elderly, the lead in emails are false too, they invite to "Renew your 2014 membership" when in fact when you click through to end the only option is to subscribe to a lifetime membership. False advertising on the email and that's putting it lightly, the club needs to pull it's head in.

Hey Stig
Adding to WP's question above, I was told yesterday (my father - Gold Member) that there is no option when renewing on the web to select "manual" renewal, that you could only choose "automatic". I can't check that because my membership is automatic and monthly. Can you confirm if this is the case and if so how do you choose "manual"?
An issue with the Ticketmaster system we use online, you will need to call up and do it over the phone.
Hi Richmond twitter guy.
Can I just say that was a totally inadequate response to Smokey's concerns.

His message seemed as if it was already taken care of, as in if Smokey's dad is on the rollover account which it seems like he is, he's already been debited and is a 2014 member.
The last thing we're trying to do is trick anyone, it's simply for convenience so members can pay $10 a month over 11 months instead of $130 (or whatever it may be) in one go, and a lot of members love it. The ones that don't call up and opt out.
The issue with Essendon making a purely optional donation ticked by default has raised the issue for us, but ours is a different scenario as we email people and let them know they have an opt out option before we debit anything.

Yep, "already taken care of".
A gold member, as am I, upset at his treatment by the club forcing him to commit to continuing membership when renewing online.
This is a NEW situation.
In the past I would get a mailed option to renew or upgrade my membership - funny how there was never an option to downgrade my membership - and I simply chose my option.
-
Not sending paper renewals would be saving the club a tonne of coin. Smart move imo

They are making a truck load of coin thanks to in part their members and supporters
Think they can afford it and few other things (read member benefits) that seem to have gone by the wayside in the name of saving some coin

Yep that is the issue here :clapping
I hope the Club isn't just paying attention to positive results of the members surveys (saw the article boasting about the Clubs success regarding m'ship in the survey) and have actually received some of the negative feedback (comments) that would have been in there outside the fiasco that was final ticketing last year
I think there are a few unhappy folks with how this year's membership renewals have been handled

What member benefits would you like to see return or improve?
And aside from paper renewals being sent out in Feb instead of November, how has this years renewal process been different?

Thank you for asking ;D
Answering the first question
For starters:
* Bring back the Yearbook being available in hardcopy and sent to all members. It only being available via the net ignores those who don't have internet access. Ditto the Fighting Tiger Magazine - should be available in hard copy not just online.
* The Club go back to offering a membership cateogry for people who cannot get to any games. There are people who simply cannot get to games eg the elderly, folks living in places where they've go no hope of getting to a game. These people are being ignored. IMHO the 3 game membership doesn't cut it. $85 (*or whatever it costs) for access to 3 games they can't attend means they are paying $85* for a plastic card, sticker sheet and lanyard
* For coteries: improvement in the "exclusive" membership pack for these groups. **Wont go into the exact details here as I will be speaking to the guys about the Inner Sanctum side of things in due course. ;)
That will do for now ...
Regading the renewal process, obviously the fact that people cannot go on line and just renew for this season. Have always been able to do that and now it's gone. Taking away that option as others have mentioned has disapppointed (angered) alot of people. On the one hand the club wants people to do things online but at the same time have taken away the ability for people to renew on their terms/choice.
While understand that it is in part a problem that's been created by Ticketmaster and their system I would argue that it is up to the Club to ensure the system works to the Clubs satisfaction seeing you would be paying for the use of the their system. So if the Club "OK'd" the system then the Club needs to take some responsibuility for this issue

wasnt the membership with no access to games about $60 anyway. for an extra $25 the club gives them the option of a potential 3 games + these members werent recognised by the AFL now they are all recognised.

I'll pass on the above re what you would like.
The renew option you are talking about actually changed two years ago, so your 2013 membership renewal would have had the same options.
-
wasnt the membership with no access to games about $60 anyway. for an extra $25 the club gives them the option of a potential 3 games + these members werent recognised by the AFL now they are all recognised.
Yes it was about $75. It was called "on the bench" but it gave the member more than a card, lanyard and stickers. You got things like pen sets, coasters, rugs, make-up bags for the ladies etc that was branded with RFC emblem.
My late Mum had this type of membership once she couldn't get to games anymore. It gave her value for her $$$, she felt part of the Club and the Club made a good margin. A win/win for everyone
Based on what they offer now she'd be paying $85* (granted probably less for a pensioner) and the only thing she'd have to show for it is the standard card, lanyard and stickers. All the other benefits are basically electronic and she never had email or internet. So Yep that's great value for money right there...NOT
The Club happily sells "Pet Memberships" and gives a great little pack of goodies why can't they do the same for people. The Pet memberships don't impact on membership numbers so the argument about them not being recognised is a mute point IMHO
And just on that I dont give a rats whether these type of memberships are recognised by the AFL and quite frankly the Club shouldn't either. What is important is that the Club recognises people as members and that these people have something to show they are members of this Club.
I mean even most NRL Clubs that are so far behind AFL Clubs when it comes to memberships offer a basic package for people who cannot get to games.... and dare i say it even Collingwood have gone back to offering one
Just think it is something the Club should look into, they say they will but nothing changes
-

Did it I wouldn't know as I'm in Coterie so things are a little different and messy last year ;D
But I do know last year with other the member in our household we had major problems trying to do it on-line. Wouldn't let us change it to being a rolling tiger so we ended up doing it over the phone ;D

I'm confused.
So are you saying that the fact that they can attend 3 games is insulting for them because they can't get there? So if they were charged $85 and denied access to any games that would be a better option?
Or are you suggesting there should be a membership for say only $30.
Or should the $85 membership have some extra stuff like hat and scarf but no games?
How much was the old membership option without games and what did those members get?
What would make this right for you?

I am not sure why you would be confused.
I think I've explained it clearly a number of times
If you read my reply to Ramps (a couple of posts back) I think I explain pretty clearly what I am talking about and what was on offer previously for around the same price
So I am not sure which part of it don't you understand or isn't clear enough
So I will repeat it again
IMHO the Club should offer a membership category for those people who for whatever reason cannot get to games. Facts are there are people who cannot get to games. So I ask (again) what benefit/incentive is a 3 game membership for them?
I have no problem with the club selling the 3 game membership it's a great idea for those who can only get to a couple of games a year
But again I come back to what about people who cannot get to any games? Surely these people deserve some sort of membership that makes them feel part of the club?
What I am suggesting is they have a membership category at around the same price as the 3 gamer but doesn't give them game access but gives them other stuff. They did it before and stopped it
I hate using my late Mother as example but as she got older she couldn't attend games anymore; even when we took her as a "disabled" person. In the end she simply couldn't go. It broke her heart not being able to go the footy (broke mine too BTW) because she loved going to the footy. When we got to that stage of her not being able attend games she still had an option to be a member but under the "On the Bench". That package meant something to her; she felt part of the club. She happily paid the money, she would tell friends she was still a member because they looked after her
Can I add: I volunteer and I take one of my dogs to visit an Aged Care Facility and the number of folks there who love footy but obivously can't go to games anymore and are no longer members of their clubs has genuinely surprised me.
I want people like that to have an option that gives them value for the $$$. Giving them access to something they will never use is not value
-
I'd really like to see a breakdown of our members split into reserved seat, 11 game, 3 games, dogs, cats etc to understand where we get most of our members.
I'd also like a comparison in membership revenue by club - IMO, numbers of members are one thing but you bank cashola.

RFC Official
Please ask the club to ensure that at the round 2 game against Carlton we ( The RFC ) have a clear and visible couple of membership tents near the Punt Rd oval and/or outside the G.
I believe the reason given for last year's disaster was that our tent blew away or some such tripe. All i could find was Carlton membership tents everywhere. Was very emabarrassing for the RFC and must be rectified for 2014.
Pm me if you need any help securing the tent. I got some good tent pegs ;D

Ok, but I am still confused.
What should the club be giving these people instead of the 3 game access? So my question is, should it be cheaper membership or should there be other things offered for the money. What would satisfy people?
If I remember, these memberships were around a few years ago and they didn't include access to games. The club changed the membership to include 3 game access and I didn't think the price increased at the time. I might be wrong and am happy to be corrected.
So is an $85 membership without game access somehow more appropriate than an $85 membership with 3 game access that the member can't use?
-
Arrgh, I'm not happy. It sounds like I am trying to get at you WP and I'm not.
What I need to help me out is some ideas. So I'll have a go.
A cheaper membership ($30?) without entry and with a cap or scarf or something and the fighting tiger mag and year book.
A membership for regional people which does not include access but includes the AFL domestic media package (live games etc over the internet) plus cap, scarf, whatever.
A membership for international tigers that includes the AFL international media package (live games etc over the internet) plus cap, scarf, whatever.
???

That's what I am suggesting
With "on the bench" you got the standard membership benefits = Card, Lanyard, Stickers, voting rights, Fighting Tiger Mag (in those days it was all hardcopy), inclusion to Rewards & Recognition, members cap
Then instead of game access you got something different every year. Over the years those members rec'd Coasters, pen set, throw rug etc
This year those in 3121 are getting a Rug, Swap Cards in their "3121 Exclusive membership package" (outside the normal Membership stuff).
What I am suggesting is they offer a membership package at say $75-$85 without game day access but with other goodies like what I've out lined.
Heck you can make it a keyring, or a scarf, or a small cooler bag. There are endless possibilities as to what you can get branded these days and the cost isn't massive and the profit margin for the Club would be close to 50% especially when you are already purchasing the stuff anyway and only need 1 artwork change. Go the Store web-site and look at the items in there and you'll find endless ideas
End of the day the Club used to do it and it was successful. They ditched it and replaced it this "Tiger Insider" 3 game thing on the back of the AFL not recognising that category in our membership numbers because it didn't give "game access". They want to increase revenues then offer something to people who cannot get to games, rather than just offering them something that is genuinely of no value to them

No you haven't. You've complained and then assumed I was attacking you.
You've made a vague statement saying "Surely these people deserve some sort of membership that makes them feel part of the club?" and "they have a membership category at around the same price as the 3 gamer but doesn't give them game access but gives them other stuff" which is the only part of your long post that even tries to answer my question.
What is stuff?
What I'm trying to understand is what this non access package contains.
I am sympathetic to you but if you are going to go to so much effort pointing out what is wrong I would think it would be good to put a bit of effort into offering a solution.
You don't have to, that's up to you. Perhaps it is entirely up to the club to come up with ideas to satisfy members. But they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Whatever they come up with is almost guaranteed to be not good enough. Perhaps that serves a purpose for the members.

Firstly, I haven't assumed you are attacking me but granted I am getting frustrated. Just today alone I have posted about this what is it twice or 3 times and you keep asking the same questions so it's hard for me not to question whether you are actually bothering to read my replies. Or only reading and acknowledging what you feel like because I have clearly (well I think it's pretty clear) explained what they did offer, what they should offer, how much it should cost
Secondly, I don't raise this for me, I don't raise it for the sake of complaining. I raise it is because the Club IMHO is missing out on generating greater membership numbers by not catering for a specific group of folks. FWIW I haven't just posted about this on here. I have actually spoken to Membership about it. So I don't think I'm complaining or whacking them for the sake of it
Seriously is this the quote below not:
1/ explaining what they offered previously
2/ suggesting what could go in a non access package?
With "on the bench" you got the standard membership benefits = Card, Lanyard, Stickers, voting rights, Fighting Tiger Mag (in those days it was all hardcopy), inclusion to Rewards & Recognition, members cap

So based on the above "Stuff" varies year to year but in the past has included
throw rugs, coasters, pen sets, make-up case for the ladies,
I am suggesting items like that are the way to go. I've used the 3121 members pack as example of what they could use as "stuff"
So I am not sure which part of it isn't clear I really don't :-\

But guess what ? Sometimes it's not about you and me. Sometimes it can be about those who don't actually have a voice ;) So forgive me for even considering anyone else .. I know it should only ever be about how things effect me
I was asked a question by Stig, I answered and put forward an option/idea.
An option that the I might add Club was more than happy to have in place for a long time in the past.
Just think it's something they should consider bringing back because it's "money for jam" if it's done the right way and when it's all said and done for any club to be successful you need to be generating revenues.... this is just another way isn't it
But to make everyone happy I wont raise it again. Your message is received loud and clear!

* The Club go back to offering a membership cateogry for people who cannot get to any games. There are people who simply cannot get to games eg the elderly, folks living in places where they've go no hope of getting to a game. These people are being ignored. IMHO the 3 game membership doesn't cut it. $85 (*or whatever it costs) for access to 3 games they can't attend means they are paying $85* for a plastic card, sticker sheet and lanyard

I find it baffling that the RFC would re sign with kooga/BLK when there's clearly issues with the way they go about things. The players have been dressed in half BLK and half kooga for ages. Even in the preview for tonight's game Richo is wearing the BLK polo and Mark Williams is wearing last years kooga polo. Which other clubs do this !?
How is this acceptable ? The club should've shopped itself around to some of the more respected and more professional manufacturers. Instead we go and sign a 4 year deal with amateurs.

Because as members we have been asked to pump in a helluva lot of money in the past few years.

Hi Stig,
We have a discussion going on; on the 2014 Membership thread about how member numbers are counted in regards to people who hold multiple memberships
Could you confirm how the following are counted?
(1) In my case I have 5 memberships in my name all under the single membership number. From discussions I've had previously with membership about 5 years ago I was told that I was counted as 1 member not 5. Is this still the case?
(2) In the case of people who have multiple membership on their account but the actual memberships are in different names (eg a parent buying for their kids) how are they counted?
Thanks

1) We go off members, so even though you may have 5 memberships the tally is only 1.
2) If the membership is in the child name, it's 2, if it's all under the same name that is 1. A family membership for example, includes 4 people, so that is 4 members.

18th of March is a very short turn around time. However, you can say this
"If you mail the jumper to

Punt Road Oval

3121
With a return address and any message you may like Jake to make out your son, we can try and get it back in time. Alternatively, if you wait for us to come to Brisbane or Gold Coast we will have an open training the day before our game, and Jake, if he's playing, will be there signing autographs.":

Hey Stig,
You might like to have a word to the Marketing Dept about the value of playing the, "Are you giving 110%?" ads during insipid on-field performances.
Maybe it's possible to negotiate some kind of special clause in the contract that allows the club to pull the ads at short notice throughout a game?

Yep totally agree, as soon as we saw it on the big screen we told the guys that control the scoreboard to take it down. Not their fault as they're just working through slides we gave them.

In reference to the revamped app why is it not available to all equipment and not a limited few the old app worked ok for me but the new app is not compatible. so much for being a fighting tiger patron and giving 110%. reminds me of the old days when unless you were a bigpond customer you could not get access to the content

I know this isn't the answer you're after, but we have no say in what devices the app is built for, and I'm sorry it's no longer available to you.
The AFL and Telstra handle the app for all clubs, and they changed providers to the firm that does the AFL app (at the request of a few different parties as the old mob weren't much chop). The result for us = a much better app, better user experience as a result we've seen more downloads.
What device/os are you on? I can follow up with them to see if there's a future update coming.

Thanks for your prompt reply-it appears that the upgrade is only available for mobile phones unlike the old one that worked on internet as well as i-phone and as i only use my tablet as an internet device and do not have a sim card inserted that excludes me. it works ok in my i-phone however if the occasion arises and i am out of the country as i was for the finals last year. that will limit my information access.

Dear RFC_Official,
Can you please tell the club that its loyal supporters want the following things:
1. No spin - this is an industry that is judged purely and simply on win/loss ratios. It sickens me when the coach says we are a better side than last year when we are clearly not. He can say that if we finish 4th as we finished 5th last year at the end of the home and away season. I'm sure all their KPIs would be saying we are not too. If they are then they need new KPIs.
2. Speed - the side has become slower than a dead snail, both in ball movement and leg speed. Our fastest player from last year Matty White is not even in the top ten at Pot Adelaide for speed. That is an indictment on our recruiting.
3. Fitness - we seem to be the least fit side in the competition. This comes after what supposedly was our biggest preseason ever. Something is wrong there.
4. Injuries - I am a doctor and I am horrified by the way we have handled guys like Maric, Deledio, Cotchin, Morris and now Hampson. We must not run our players into the ground by playing them injured. As for the injury list that is published, the club must think we are absolute morons. Rance broke his fifth metatarsal and wasn't put on the injury list during the week it happened. He was omitted at the last minute. What the hell is going on there?
5. Selection - guys that continually fail at basic skills like manning up, chasing, harassing, blocking for your teammate, shepherding are being played week after week. I'd rather the club played kids who would learn to do these things. I was watching a 10 game junior grapple Cotchin at the centre bounces on Sunday and not once did one of our players come in and protect the captain. It's easy to place yourself between the two and bump the other guy to let them know it's not going to be easy to harass our captain. But no, not a single peep from any of his teammates.
The supporters want to hear that the club is hurting too and that things are being done to rectify the situation. We are the lifeblood of the club and as such we should be treated with the utmost respect and not treated like fools whose only worth is our money.
Please pass this on to the powers that be as they rudely never answer any emails sent to them.
Thank you.

And the one constant isn't the losses we've endured it is the "spin" that's been dished up.
We have just on 64k members reckon YBB's echoes easily how most (majority) feel

Hardwick has dished up plenty of realism to our current plight over the past few weeks. Some just pick and choose the bits they don't like and paint it as spin. Tbh I don't care what the coach says in the press. Just get the results if not no words in the world will save him.

“Bring the ROAR HOME what a Joke I have followed Richmond for 60 years now and if ever I have seen a side over Handball and KICK backwards and Sideways how are you supposed to score and win?I went to the game today to see a bit of a contest but all I got was a pathetic miss match?I feel sorry for the people that have to watch Richmond play like that week in and week out.”

Rather than talk about the obvious I will say this.
Dimma has lost the plot. In 2012 we were the best contested side in the comp and used the corridor regularly with quick ball movement in 2013 we complemented this adding defensive 50 pressure and forward 50 pressure.
Why does Dimma want to forsake this and reinvent the wheel?
The team philosophy that has held firm for his first four years in nowhere now. This stop start static option footy has reminded me of the Spud tenure added with this corralling bs reminding me of the Wallet era.
For a minute there I thought that the Ponsford was still under construction and it was 2003 such was the brand of footy we were playing.
Why sacrifice the game of a 2 time Coleman Medallist to make a pea hearted footballer in Vickery the focus.
Why keep playing blokes like Grigg Edwards Chaplin Newman Houli and such who have been abysmal. Our attack last year was launched from half back this year we have got nothing from Houli Newman or anyone.
Why make players do what is unnatural to them and get naturally attacking minded players and input a defensive mindset in them?
Houli squibbed it in front of me again in front of the Olympic in the second.
Titch, Petterd, Grigg I don't care how many times they get it, quantity will always loose out to quality no matter what.
This club is happy with 110% FTF and high membership bases with no on foeld return.
Port were 6 games worse off than us in 2012 yet the way things stand now they licked the Cats who in turn will annihilate us as they always seem to do next week.
The club is a constant annual failure who are lucky to have the supporter base they have. As much as a Cllingwood flag in September has a special mystique about it as their GF failures so are our annual failures given that even though last year may be regarded as a success being knocked out of the finals by a side that failed to qualify is a massive failure of sorts given we were also 5 goals plus up in the third quarter.
The apparent lack of cohesion, speed, constructiveness and ability to back up your team mate has totally devoid the side of any flair and continuity that served us so well especially in 2012/13 and for parts of 2011 when we realised that potentially we have a side that may play a sustainable brand of football that could take us well into September.
This club it seems is once again making the mistake of putting the cart before the horse and counting its membership base, profits and potential ucess rather than planning on sustainability. Dimma is coaching like a man who is bereft of any ideas and planning unnatural game plans for players who seem to be confused and bereft of inspiration themselves. We saw this with Frawley post 2001 when we made finals and despite any injury concerns to key players this should not be enough to set us back the way it has as 2003 we saw more of the same crap.
Dimma has really lost me after the Bulldogs game I was angry given how we lost and given where the two sides were on the table last year but that was the warning sign that now has turned into a full blooded DEFCOM 5 alert and we are really in danger and I aint talking about this year because I feel right now it is gone and given we have Geelong on the rebound next week but next year and 2016 the next two years of Dimma's tenure.
If it aint broke why fix it? Unless you want to be too smart and not play to your strengths.
I would rather isolate Jack and use Griff and have another tall third option by bringing Lennon into the side.
Vickery has lost me given his attitude. If Lids has an Achilles put him on the LTIL and promote Miles. Geez we need a small classy crumber who can play midfield we are so lacking in that area it aint funny. Has been for years since Naishy left for Port. Would retain Gordon and Lloyd as especially the former whilst making a blue at least presents and gut runs.
Arnot, McDonough, Griff, Astbury must play week in week out and when Dea is available play him too.
Would ratherlose with the kids than lose with the same footballers who give the same paltry output year in and year out. If Newman is a leader spend two years in the ressies and teach and nurture the kids. Add Houli, Titch, Grigg, Petterd just to name a few and add a few others like Chaplin, Hampson when Maric is fit as Griff on one leg is better than that spud of a footballer and we gave up pick 28 for this but hey Hawthorn give up pick 17 for McEvoy. :-\
This season is salvageable and if it means playing the kids with a spine of senior players in the 80-150 core to guide us then so be it. Time for Cotch, Martin, Jack, and some lesser types like Ellis and Grimes and a few others to model themselves on Floss and see how he goes about it.
I could bear the floggings in 2010/11 because we were rebuilding from scratch given the retirements and the list degradation that set in by the time 2009 finished but our list is fast becoming if not already is the same failed list that tokenly made a finals series for the first time in a decade and if 2020 odd is the next time we make it because history is repeating and the same mistakes are being made then everybody in the club should be ashamed of this.
How can Port do it and overtake us and Bulldogs start a rebuild 2 years after us yet bear fruit against us already whilst we claim we are finals bound and get an 11 goal flogging from the reigning premier whom we beat by 62 and 41 points the last two times we met. Mindset and garbage planning, list management, coaching agendas and personnel selection in the team 22 has negated any opportunity we have had to build on the last four years of significant on and off field productivity and improvement.

Stig,
Tried to ask this yesterday but it obviously got lost
VFL game on Sunday, website says crowd numbers are again going to be restricted to 2,500
But at the same time it says members get in for free
How's it going to work?
Last thing I reckon the club needs right now is to upset folks by them not being able to get into Punt Road on Sunday

Stig,
People have been getting calls this week from a marketing co selling the $200 Raffle tickets (assume it's the annual FTF raffle thing). Poor timing considering
Granted, it was probably decided a while back to launch now but I would have thought considering the anger about at the moment it would have been a wiser move to delay a couple of weeks
Can you try explain the Club's logic of having start this week?
Thanks

There is no logic other than they know they will some idiots who will give them money and thats how they roll. They dont give a stuff about the supporters or the members, all they care about is how much money they can get from us so they can pay themselves their wages and salarys and pay their average hack players recruited from other clubs. Thats all they care about. They have no other logic.

Not sure about that PM. The rule states that you can elevate a rookie from round 11 onwards. So if they elevate him now they will need to demote him when King comes back. As long as they haven't elevated another rookie after round 11, he will be able to be re elevated immediately as our nominated rookie when King comes back. Of course the club may want to elevate another rookie for the LTI list and leave Miles for after round 11.

Essentially that's right, we can elevate anyone from the rookie list to replace King on the main list.

Hi Stig,
It's been suggested that I re-post an idea I put forward in the Alex Rance thread regarding a possible tribute to Tom Hafey
Here's what I suggested:
As proud custodian of the number 18 guernsey, think it is appropriate that Rance tosses the coin this week as an extra mark of respect to Tom Hafey.
Tom Hafey wore number 18, its significance should never be forgotten

It's just an idea seeing we are honouring the man and everything he did at Richmond and for the Richmond Football Club.
If he hadn't of played for the Tigers do you think he would have been considered as Coach?
And besides, if losing a toss is going to cause emotional distrss to the players then we might was well not show up at all.

It's been suggested that I re-post an idea I put forward in the Alex Rance thread regarding a possible tribute to Tom Hafey
Here's what I suggested:
As proud custodian of the number 18 guernsey, think it is appropriate that Rance tosses the coin this week as an extra mark of respect to Tom Hafey.
Tom Hafey wore number 18, its significance should never be forgotten
WP
:clapping Get it done RFCO. :bow
If we lose the toss, what emotional effect will that have on the players.
Just send the captain out for the toss.
:cheers
Agree. Besides, Tommy has been celebrated mainly due to his coaching record at Richmond not for his achievements as a player.
It's just an idea seeing we are honouring the man and everything he did at Richmond and for the Richmond Football Club.
If he hadn't of played for the Tigers do you think he would have been considered as Coach?
And besides, if losing a toss is going to cause emotional distrss to the players then we might was well not show up at all.
I'm sure not going to bicker over it if the club adopts it WP.

Hey RFC Official,
I attended training this morning and it was great.
The tshirts the players wore were very simply but just perfect.
The staff working in the shop mentioned that the club wont be selling them. Surely the club could sell them and donate all proceeds to Cancer research.
They would sell like hotcakes.
Anyway well done to the club on this morning, enjoyed a nice cuppa while watching the boys run around.

A fantastic idea TFL! :clapping
Hey Stig, I heartily endorse this idea - how about running it by those that matter?

We're discussing it at the moment. Selling them was never part of the plan so will need a bit of thinking.

Any news Stigmata?

When are you gonna start putting up the announcements on the club website of the appropriate sackings that need to take place this week.

Well I posted a thread to RFC official after the hawks loss which was left alone for a while as I didn't post in this one.
I know you are not in the hierarchy but I need to vent.
We had a good thing going, we bottomed out but were on our way back up. We had debt but were promised that if we eradicated that debt that we would get better. We needed to be debt free to compete during free agency, we needed to be debt free to source and recruit the best talent and the best support staff. The roar was back!
We put in financially and emotionally.
Now all I get is text messages, facebook posts and, worse, face to face contact telling me how pathetic we are.
Four years ago, when we were poo, I argued against it. I stuck up for the club I love. I told my kids to hang in there, we will be good. The club told me we would be. It must be true.
Now sadly, I can't defend my club anymore. We are pathetic. When my kids ask why we lost, I can no longer say that we are rebuilding, I can only say we are pathetic.
How sad is that to say about a club I love?
-
Richo this bloke is like all the rest of them down at Punt Road, he is just a paid employee that is he is paid by monies raised from supporters and sponsors to do a job. He like the rest of them down their dont give a stuff.
-
It isn't hard to please Richmond supporters.
If you play horrible players like Grigg, Hampson, Chaplin, Petterd, Vickery who are given matches, and lose, we will be ropable!
If you play a slow, to the boundary, no hard running style game plan, we will be ropable!
If you play young cubs and we lose, there is understanding as to why we lose.
Jackson gets matches because he fits Hardwick game plan perfectly!
Shane Edwards, over 100 matches played and still can't find consistency! He is a genuine small sneaky forward. Leave him there!
Brett Deledio, well all that can be said is that there is a CLEAR reason why Trent Cotchin is our Captain, because he is a genuine leader that even on one leg competes, creates, runs and kicks goals when we need it.
-
Richo this bloke is like all the rest of them down at Punt Road, he is just a paid employee that is he is paid by monies raised from supporters and sponsors to do a job. He like the rest of them down their dont give a stuff.

I actually respect the fact that you came in here this morning. Well done. I have to admit I wasnt expecting to read any posts from you. That shows you have some respect for the supporters. I actually mean it when I say thats a good effort but it doesnt take away the fact that what happened on the weekend was a disgrace and yes we know its not your fault, but unfortunately your a conduit to (unfortunately) the people who are making decisions down there and its their performance that should under the microscope and I just dont mean the coach but the administration, the football department leadership, the recruiting team and the fitness guys as just a start.
-
Seen your the PR guy, l want you to go ask Damien Hardwick this question & return with a answer thanks.
QUESTION. Why do the players every week kick 10 to 15 meters kicks to the next contest which most times a player is under pressure & the team is under pressure. They create their own pressure. Why does the coach allow this to happen constantly & why does he not do something to stop it. Is he coaching the club for the Richmond Football Club best interests.
It's a simple genuine question as for the life of me having coached alot of football. l want to know why these players play the way they do & if its worth following this club come 2015. l demand to have a answer being a longtime Richmond member.

No threats, 35 year paid up loyal as you get member I can't take this much longer. Saturday in my book is the lowest this club has been in my eyes in that 35 years, so fn pizzed off.
-
Can you create a folder or link on the club website with all the jumper presentations. I find the words that the former champions say are really terrific and a fantastic archive of RFC history etc. and it would be really good to have them all in one place.

RFCO, what is the RFC policy regarding gambling promotion, particularly the current enticement for Richmond people to bet with sportsbet?
Also what is the policy on using the club's social media platforms, which are frequented by many people under 18, to promote such incentives?
-
RFCO, what is the RFC policy regarding gambling promotion, particularly the current enticement for Richmond people to bet with sportsbet?
Also what is the policy on using the club's social media platforms, which are frequented by many people under 18, to promote such incentives?
The RFC recognises that sports betting is a legitimate pastime – the promotion you see is aimed at those who do bet, to consider Sportsbet.
For social media, on Facebook all our sportsbet posts are set to 18+ only, as are all our emails that go out from us. Twitter doesn't allow such an age restriction.
-
So even though the age restriction isn't available you still promote it via Twitter anyway?
-
The Big Cho :clapping :lol
-
Is this thing still on?
I noticed another club promoted gambling tweet this evening.
So RFCO, to go back to my original question, the RFC policy is to protect minors from club promoted gambling ads if the social media network makes it easy to do so, otherwise it is open slather?

There is no kid-free space on the Internet.
They can and do access anything they like.

I dont have any sympathy for gamblers. If youre stupid enough to lose money you dont have on betting you deserve to have a crap life. If parents are so stupid as to allow their kids to bet then they are in my opinion criminals. Kids should be brought up to understand that these things are just their for a bit of fun when they grow up not to be used as some sort of conduit to a better potential lifestyle or an alternative to getting a job. The club is doing 100% the right thing, if people cant control themselves stiff poo.

I understand your position but I disagree. Gambling is as bad for society as smoking is and takes a huge number of innocent parties in its wake.
I'd much rather the RFC show some guts like North Melbourne did and turn its back on this money, which is a drop in the ocean for the club.
If you don't stand for something, you stand for nothing. Actually that could well sum up lots of issues at the RFC.

HEY RFC, SHOVE YOUR stuffing MEMBERSHIP UP YOUR stuffing ARSE, THIS TEAM HAS COST ME TOO MUCH OVER THE YEARS FOR NOTHING. YOU PACK OF INSIPID WEAK GOOD FOR NOTHING IMBECILES!!!
:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

Can we get a refund
-
It would be a very honourable gesture if the club offered a membership cancellation and a refund to any member who wanted it.
-
I want my money back now
-
Honestly RFC Official
What's it like working for a large organization that is a failure
Time for redundancy at punt rd
Coach first
-
The club should be investigated by the fraud investigation squad. AFL supporters from all clubs bet on AFL games & yet RFC put clearly injured & lame players on the park who are injected & can not perform at the best interests of the betting public. Jackson & Hampson clearly 2 players who should not have started. Club will never get another cent from us & you lose 14 memberships in total just from my family. Take this back to Gavin & tell him to wipe his ass on it for all l care.
-
Please RFCO, can you ask the club medical team how they can allow a guy who couldn't train all week to play in the most important game of the year?
Seriously, how could this happen?
And we had a guy called Miles smashing the door down in the VFL that could have taken his place!!!!
Even Hampson was favouring a knee and Maric was so underdone it was not funny.
I think the club has to look long and hard at its medical staff in the off season as well as its fitness staff as there are things amiss here...
And yes I am a doctor of 30 years experience, so I know what I am talking about.
Thank you.

Is there a way of getting answers to any questions? The club never respond to emails. As a member of many years with significant financial contribution, it would be nice to get answers to some basic questions and I'm not talking about ranting and raving.

We don't have a football department email, so the best one is to send to membership. Dimma in the past has asked for some of those emails to be forwarded to him so he can get a feeling for what the fans are saying. We do aim to reply to every email we get, and there are plenty, even the not so friendly ones.

The club could hire some poor bastard to respond to supporter emails every Monday and Tuesday mornings ;D

So youre not upset by the performance just by the fact that the club gets sponsored by a gambling outfit? Ever been to Crown? Ever been in a TAB or a PUBTAB? ever watched the Melbourne Cup on TV? Dont be stupid. Leave because your peeed of at the administration at them taking the pee out of us but for a sponsorship arrangement ... seriously? wtf.

the club does respond to members emails, As l got one when l told them l was cutting them off after the Melbourne loss. To my surprise a email was sent back to me on that Monday morning very early. Maybe l was the first they heard from after the game that day as l left early & sent the mail while traveling. But me being a faithful Tiger supporter for over 45 years l again go to the football thinking they will change. Nope it was worse than the Melbourne game against Essendon. l left early again & wont be returning to watch that type of football ever again. My hard earned is going to my local football club & not another cent to fund AFL coffers. l am done wasting thousands yearly going to the football in the city. l can turn on the pay tv if l want to watch football but if Richmond play football like that l will switch it off. No more stressing myself. You get that Gavin ;D

The normal poo that we have a right to be upset & that all feedback will go to the football department.
l was not giving them feedback. l was telling them they ain't getting 1 more cent from my family & that l don't care that l'm a long time member cause l'm cutting them off. Nothing will change our mind on not renewing. They can make the finals & win the premiership. Its not the club that has really peeed me off. Its the way the players chip the ball around. They are tanking out on that field. l'm a punter & lay out some big $ & if they cost me big $ than they can get stuffed. Ugly football is not worth watching for any supporter & its surely bringing the game into disrepute. There is more people talking about Richmond than the Ben Cousins drug saga.

Hey RFCO,
Will the club look at buying facebook likes like the other Melbourne clubs?? Hawks were behind us last year and have somehow managed to get over 200k in a few short months. A quick look at their, Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton fb pages shows that they have fake likes with fake people from Asia and India who live overseas and apparently follow these clubs. These fake likes have been purchased by the clubs (which you can do).
Carlton had only 8-10k more than us too last year and have magically gone up to 200k in a few months and then they publish these rubbish figures in the age. I'm not happy about it at all. Can we take it up with the Afl?
-
The irony of the club shoving gambling advertising down the supporters throats is that on field the players are true wowsers.
When the heat is on they do not gamble at all. Too pee weak to take a risk.
No run, no dare, no heart, no flair.

Anyone can buy FB likes, but I don't think other clubs have bought them in phishy scammy way you're describing. We have done FB advertising in the past, we've set up ads that target people in Australia that like other pages such as: Cricket Australia, Tennis Australia, AFL, etc but we haven't done that recently. We were ahead of Hawthorn until they won the premiership, it's as simple as that. Winning is the best form of marketing.
Since we all got verified ticks the average of new 'likes' per day is on the increase.

might want to have a geez at the people who apparently 'like' them. People with 0 friends and only the 1 like on their page
AFL and Facebook both did audits on them recently but I'll give it a look.

Hey RFCO,
Will the club look at buying facebook likes like the other Melbourne clubs?? Hawks were behind us last year and have somehow managed to get over 200k in a few short months. A quick look at their, Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton fb pages shows that they have fake likes with fake people from Asia and India who live overseas and apparently follow these clubs. These fake likes have been purchased by the clubs (which you can do).
Carlton had only 8-10k more than us too last year and have magically gone up to 200k in a few months and then they publish these rubbish figures in the age. I'm not happy about it at all. Can we take it up with the Afl?
Anyone can buy FB likes, but I don't think other clubs have bought them in phishy scammy way you're describing. We have done FB advertising in the past, we've set up ads that target people in Australia that like other pages such as: Cricket Australia, Tennis Australia, AFL, etc but we haven't done that recently. We were ahead of Hawthorn until they won the premiership, it's as simple as that. Winning is the best form of marketing.

They have been ahead of us since 2012, and I don't think they've added 50,000 in 3 months, that's NBA type numbers. Happy to be proven wrong.

I'm sure Stig's time would be better spent compiling an online questionnaire for prospective coaches or something similar rather than dealing with this petty, irrelevant, troll poo.
-
Hey Stig,
Can you pass this post on to the powers that be, POTY for mine...
al, if you feel this is inappropriate tell me and I'll delete immediately.
maybe we should have recruited paul chapman as cotch doesnt seem to have taken on board that he needs to be harder on his under performing team mates
compare this new age back rubbing to what chapman came out and said about geelong in 2007
"I think at the moment we have probably got some passengers and you can't afford to carry them," he said.
"You need 22 blokes who are going to live your values and just die for your team.
"If you think about it, it is our little war. I know it's not war but a game of footy, but you just need everyone to contribute.
"You can't have blokes picking and choosing, deciding when they want to go and when they don't want to go."
Chapman, one of the Cats' best in yesterday's debacle against the Kangaroos, admitted he was frustrated and angry with what was happening at Skilled Stadium.
"It does make you angry because sometimes it feels as though you go out and do everything you can and then there are some blokes there who aren't doing everything they possibly can," he said.
"You just need a committed 22 players working as hard as they can for the team and then we will win more games than not.
"I reckon we are a good side but not a great team. We have got heaps of talent, probably right up there in the league, I reckon.
"But just playing as a team, coming to play week in, week out is probably the hardest thing we have got to get our heads around, and not pick and choose, just do it."
Like his coach had earlier, Chapman pointed at 18-year-old Joel Selwood, who was playing just his fourth game yesterday, as an example of how players wearing the blue-and-white hoops should perform.
"Joel Selwood was great, he came here to play," he said.
"He was inspiring today, the way that he went at the footy."
On the culture of underachieving and settling for second best which has been a constant slur on the club, Chapman said: "It is not just this year, it is not just last year, it has been around for a while.
"It is something we are going to have to change as a side. You just can't be happy playing and getting your money and having a good lifestyle or whatever it is.
"You have got to go out there and do everything you can to win. You have got blokes like Darren Milburn, who has been here for 13 or 14 years, who hasn't won one (premiership) and you hear him say the culture is still the same.
"That is not the way we want it to be, you want it to change and do everything you can to win."
Everything he said (except for the actual names of players) applies exactly to our situation.
Don't back them in, tell them to pull the finger out or stuff off
Sick of the club paying lipservice to the fans by saying "the right things" in the public domain ad nauseum. Be honest and get stuffing serious

Most of this stuff is bulldust anyway. In the end, membership numbers, revenue and premierships is what its all about.

Another fantastic presentation for Anthony Miles with Big Rex doing the honors. Whatever people say about Rexy the truth is he is a real Richmond man and it came through once again in his talk during the presentation of the jumper. This footage and all the rest will be great to watch in the years to come. A great archive for the club and the young bloke, playing his first game for us was terrific.

And straight to the jumper presentations page. Good thinking once again.

The club should ban end of season trips this year. They can have a couple of days off after the B&F and then straight back into full-on training.
Arrange this for us will you :-)
As you were :gotigers

If it wasnt written into every players contract at every AFL club they get 8 weeks off I'd consider it :-)

Eight weeks leave, 44 weeks slacking off - get paid exhorbitant amounts for doing nothing, nice if you can get it ha
Rip up them contracts RFCO

Should at least be the first club back in the track.

What I see from fellow Richmond supporters is something I have never see before.Whereas prior we have seen feelings like frustration,and disappointed in how the club was performing,now I'm seeing anger at the club,from the very people who have stood by it all these years.Even yesterday in the section where I sit there was mockery and ridicule from supporters who have sat in the same spots for years.
Maybe I am wrong but supporters are feeling duped by the club.This I feel needs to be addressed by the club because I get the feeling that this time once these supporters are gone they will be gone for good.This is probably not RFC field ,however maybe he can convey this to the club

People have been laughing at games in effect laughing at our players for weeks now. Its becoming an inhouse type of joke amongst our supporters to laugh at the state of the RFC.

X6,am over it Richmond. A lifelong supporter and 20+ year member with a family full of memberships.
Very disappointed with the on field results and frankly insulted by the off field rhetoric off field.
IMV, the off field response has been worse.
Very poor Richmond.

I don't think you're the only one who feels this way, and it is something we are aware of.

Dissapointing?
The club should be very, very concerned. The fans stayed away in droves last week. The message couldn't be any clearer.
-
The message will get even clearer in the weeks ahead. People I know are dropping off the Tiges at a rate of knots. People who have supported this club for 20, 30 and 40 years have had enough. You can only fail for so long before people finally give it up. You cant fail like Richmond has for so long and get away with it. This has nothing to do with RFCO so its not personal but the truth is the supporters I know have lost faith in this administration and they think that the football department is a joke from the coaching panel to the list management of the club to recruiting to just about everything. You guys working at Punt Road may not realise it but you guys are on the cusp of a crisis as members turn away in their thousands IMHO.

maybe tell Dimma to stop playing Hampson and dropping Grif. Will get 5k more to games instantly if Hampson is not playing

RFC_O should start a coup.

Tyrone would probably play and keep a further 10k away.

Paul keating once said ..walk into any pet shop and the resident galah will be talking microeconomic policy.I'm afraid something similar is happening with the tiges.At the pub on Saturday night 2 older ladies were discussing the 2014 tigers...we are on the lips of everyone

:LOL supporters dictating to who should play and shouldn't play.
As if the club doesn't know what's going on, as RFC_O stated.
Oh RFC and it's supporters always revert to type.
Keep Punching RFC_O you're doing an admirable job keeping the types under control. :sleep

If they knew what was going on they would fix the miss theyre in but they dont and they never will. The only thing this club has left is the supporters and theyre turning their backs on the club coz of the ongoing failures and disgraceful decision making that goes on in that place.

HeyRFO, I'm getting a but sick of this losing streak - is there any chance of bringing the bye forward?
-
Hi RFCO,
Just wondered if you could please take this question to the appropriate area of the club and let me know how they respond?
When can the members expect the RFC board to address us in relation to the outcomes of the 5 year strategic plan released in 2010?
-
When can the members expect the RFC board to address us in relation to the outcomes of the 5 year strategic plan released in 2010?
It was already answered by Peggy in her web chat:
"The board and management were aware that when 3-0-75 was set in 2010, they were ambitious goals. We should never apologise for that - it was time for this club to demand more of itself. The progress has been very positive as we have retired $5m in debt, grown membership by more than 20,000 and played finals last year. The job is not yet done and we will continue to challenge ourselves throughout the Club."

In non rhetoric speak, the translation is we failed to meet our strategic goals but we did ok.
-
Or the supporters did their bit (again) but we basically have let them down on and off field (again)
-
Who is Peggy ?
-
dunno ;D
-
I have questions that I would like to see the President of the club answer honestly - and its these
Is the Richmond Football Club proud of the last 34 years of its existence?
Are you proud of our ongoing failure in 2014?
Are you proud of the 3-0-75 plan that the club failed to achieve?
How can this administration be proud of anything when its hardly achieved anything?
How can this administration look the supporters in the eyes with honor and integrity when they have wasted hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of dollars on rejects and hacks from other clubs?
In all seriousness the entire club administration should be ashamed of its performance and thats the honest view of a majority of our supporters whether you like it or not at the club.

Must put everything into winning this game! Whatever it takes !

RFCO, will there be a fan forum at the end of the season where senior members from the football dept. attempt to justify the mindboggling match committee selections and press conference statements made this year that either contradict each other or seem devoid of reality - i.e. shortsighted and seemly oblivious to where the team and list is at?
I know you can't comment on onfield matters RFCO, however IMO, the footy dept. and the supporter base are 180 degrees apart on the current direction of the team/list and the gamestyle/gameplan. The club continues to dish up sub-AFL standard slop on-field (yes SLOP! even against other bottom sides) and based on tonight's selections continues to favour slow skill-less spuds like Thomas and Hampson over playing youth and the whole list, in some weird, deluded and desperate groundhog day attempt to pinch meaningless end of season wins that take us nowhere aside from screwing up our draft position :banghead.

I'm serious about this, let's have a group brainstorm:
The original:
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
When the day is dawning,
On a Texas Sunday Morning
How I long to be there
With Marie who's waiting for me there
Every lonely city
Where i hang my hat
Ain't as half as pretty,
As where my baby's at
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringing
With a song of joy that its singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the highway
There's an open plain and it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
And a new draft, needs a rhyme in the chorus.
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
When the day is dawning,
On a Punt Road Sunday (Insert day of match here) Morning
How I long to be there
The Tiger Army's waiting for me there
Every lonely city
Where i hang my hat
Ain't as half as pretty,
As where the MCG's at
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Tigerland?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Tigerland
And sweet victory who waits for me
Show me the way to Tigerland
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Tigerland
And sweet victory who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And victory who waits for me
There's a siren ringing
With a song of joy that its singing
For the sweet victory
And the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the fence line
There's an open plain and it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Tigerland?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Tigerland
And sweet victory who waits for me
Show me the way to Tigerland
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Tigerland and sweet victory who waits for me

Won't be open, popularity on these have been really low in the past.
what if we play an interstate final? I can see the mrr packed to the rafters

Hi Stig,
Old chestnut of mine
What's the go with the pavers that were supposed to re-laid after Punt road Oval ground works were completed?
Is it going to happen or is it just something that's been forgotten? ;)

I'm told the plan is still for them to be replaced.
Any idea when?
Folks paid good $$$ to the JDF (long before the FTF) for those pavers and it really needs to be finalised. It's been at least 4 years since they were dug up and over 2 years since the letter that said they'd be re-laid within the next 12 months
-
Just refund the money to WP for the pavers and be done with it. He's been ranting about it for years

Any word on the new theme?

as always you don't get it :banghead
Not about me it's about everyone who donated the $$$ and for memory the pavers raised between $250-$500k for the JDF. the club has a responsibility to those people and ensure they again receive what they paid for.

It's interesting as I said on the other thread other RFC member in our household gets the emails to their GMail account staright away but with our bigpond account it takes 12-16 hours to come through
How ironic is that seeing the AFL & Clubs internet deal is with Telstra ::)

What new anthem ? Are we changing the song ?

No changing the pre-match from those stupid drums to a reworked version of 'Is this the way to Amarillo?'

You can always do Facebook marketing, not 'purchasing likes' as you've called it, but winning is the best form of marketing, we added 14,000 fans in 5 weeks during our 9 game run.
About 12-18 months ago Facebook eliminated a large amount of fake accounts across it system and not many AFL clubs lost fans at all. I think you'll find it's a pretty clean system.

Does anyone else think we lost Sunday due to not being able to compete in the anthem stakes?
If by anthem you mean when the Port fans were singing "Never Tear Us Apart", then I would have to say it was inspiring being in the ground and hearing them sing it prior to the bounce.
Now asking RFC official, we have the drums when the team runs out but how one of in the minute prior to the start to get our fans into a frenzy
Eye Of The Tiger- Survivor
Right Here Right Now- Fat Boy Slim personally Right Here Right Now should be our membership slogan as every RFC fan can vouch for that. It's been bloody long enough and time to take the next step.
It's a long way to the top. AC/DC if the AFL aren't using it
and if things go awry one for the fans to the players and coaches
We're not gonna take it from Twisted Sister.
Personally I like the first two.
As for your question Dooks we were not going to win last Sunday if we started playing the moment the siren went in Sydney the week before.

RFCO, will there be a fan forum at the end of the season where senior members from the football dept. attempt to justify the mindboggling match committee selections and press conference statements made this year that either contradict each other or seem devoid of reality - i.e. shortsighted and seemly oblivious to where the team and list is at?
We will be having a fan forum yep, thought we should bring it back. We'll be releasing info shortly.
What happened with this, RFCO?
9 wins in a row followed by a uncompetitive final shows a number of weaknesses from earlier in the season still exist.

We had it locked in for after the GWS game and then had to re-schedule as a few people could'nt make it, and couldnt lock in a new time. Believe it's being pushed back to November now, just need to confirm that.

Both sides are consitent - the "whiny old moles" are pessimistic before a ball is even kicked whilst the "apologists" maintain their delusions & stay in denial even when the results clearly demonstrate we're shyte.

I think that is both disappointing and ironic that the club seemingly takes away a proactive communication devise for fans of the club without any clarification.
Whatever you might think of fans - you can't communicate on a conditional basis.
Maybe we should conditionally hold our membership?

contempt is the word that comes to mind.

It's pretty sad really, they're just a tool to improve the club. Most probably a junior position to gage some input.
Need to realise % wise people here have the opinions of all the supporters out there, differing as they may be!
The previous rfco was pretty good at his job and will go succeed at what he does.
This new one and I'm guessing it's at the direction of the club, couldn't get it more wrong.
I'm so disgusted at this club right now.

at least the horse would show some resistance rather than just bend over and take it

Good point Al

The whole thing is a sham - a typical half arsed Richmond effort, like our rebuilds where we get halfway up the ladder, back slap and stuff off back down to the bottom of the ladder.

Of course, they have time and people resources to fleece millions of dollars off our incomes for memberships.......

We had a bit of push back from broadcast partners about last week's live stream, but it looks like we will be pushing ahead with another one on Saturday on our website regardless - we'll have details up with the preview tomorrow I would say.

There wasn't a conscious decision made against OER - no reason will make up for the missing time during a key part of the year, so I cop the absence

Sorry to say One Eyed that AFL Vic have pulled the pin on us being able to live stream VFL video to our website.
We got the news this morning, and as such all our video resources were scheduled in to cover the VFL match in Vic over the AFL match in Hobart - so now, we can do neither.

That is bloody poor

Just email info@richmondfc.com.au and use Dimma's Dissection: Round xx as the subject line and they get passed through to the content guys who compile all the questions
So who's going to send some e-mails this week?
-
There is one thing l don't read & that is emails from the club & one that has a heading Dimma's Dissection.
l don't think Dimma is tough enough as a coach. The club is too much media spin & talk too much rubbish. The club is pee weak. To be successful coach, You need to be a aggressive coach & remain aggressive throughout your coaching career. If you going to sit back & watch the crap these players are serving up. You may well not even turn up for work cause the message is not getting across. Too many players are doing dumb things & those dumb things cost goals & create losses, which creates loyal supporters to not turn up to watch the constant poo this club dishes up. Take this back to the club & tell them to smoke it cause l would not turn up next week if you gave me the best seat in the stadium. Play football & stop all the poo that you put the supporters through.

I assume you wouldn't of seen many people around today if you even had to go in yourself but I'd like to know what the mood around the place is Monday morning.

Mood was pretty similar today to most Mondays regardless of result - once the players have their meeting and reviews, focus turns to recovery and getting the body right for tomorrow's training, and with that comes a step closer to having another opportunity this weekend. Focus shifts pretty quickly

Hmmm that's my concern though. Come Monday when it's back to the club to get everything started for the weekend they seem like they are content with what happened and take nothing out of the game except for Dimma's statistics.

Reckon a recovery session down south melbournes a good idea today, might harden the peahearts up a bit.

Thanks for the Q one-eyed,
It is not, you will get in with GA access but seating is limited to bays Q1-Q2 in the Great Southern Stand - if you want to guarantee a seat, we recommend upgrading.
If you're looking at standing room - GA will be fine too.

Hi, WP - more info on what you've asked will be revealed in the announcement of the new guernsey in the coming weeks, I've been told.

RFCO, what happened to the membership tally?
I'd say it's been hidden for the impending 70K membership announcement, which is getting pretty close - think it's so that if it ticks over at 3 in the morning, we don't miss out on it.

True, the old RFCO was a champ. Put up with a lot too
-
Well I'll ask a question ;D
Mr RFC_O,
When can those folks who "released back" their reserved seats for the round 23 game for re-sale by the Club expect the Merchandise voucher they were promised. They were supposed to be received within a week of the game, I don't know anyone who's received them yet.
Actually not great thinking by the club. I would had those vouchers in everyone's "inboxes" by COB on Tuesday at the latest, get people spending in the shop this week in particular pre-game tomorrow
-
no chance this bloke will roll up now :snidegrin
-
I've got one, did Dimma's hair brained idea to play Griff for 2 1/2 qtrs and then replace him with Conca effectively mean we dropped 2 but only picked 1 in the side?
-
Hey, RFCO,
I've been waiting for Dimma's Dissection this week. I thought it would be really interesting this time around. What's the reason for the club not publishing it this week?
Cheers,
Muscles

lol RFCO cant be bothered with us any more
[/thread]

Have to say this new RFC_O / Club Social media person is terrible
Even on Twitter they are not replying to people
It (social media communication) is a form of customer service and the Club is currently failing miserably
They cannot use the final loss as an excuse, it's been happening way before then
RFC_O why?
-
Service went to crap the instant we lost RFC_O MK1. Don't know if it's the fault of the person who replaced him/her or the club lacking interest but the communication we had come to expect from the club has diminished in general and it's not a good path for the club to be on considering the p-poor performance we are all going to be expected to forget/swallow come renewal time in November. :thumbsdown :thumbsdown :thumbsdown
-
How do you apply for the position? I'd do it and will show my face too
Talking about social media, anyone see RFC facebook page posting the 2016 membership photo only an hour after the EF loss?
-
The person appointed has to take some responsibility for being absolutely garbage at this job.

We are one of the few clubs that has even bothered to do this, so that is a positive.
I just don't think that it is a priority for the club. I can sort of understand why too. In the scheme of things, what percentage of the 70K members are on these forums? Probably less than 1%.....

Alright I've had a few people ask me to join here, even had an email saying they would reconsider their membership if I didnt...and we don't want that, so here we are.
My initial problem to begin with was that the club has so many forums, I cant be answering everyone's questions all the time but I am here and will be able to get to any posts here every few days, or as soon as I humanly can.
So, fire away
My only groundrules: No footy stuff, I'm not Dimma so I can't tell you why X isn't playing or why Z is...but I can answer other things. Go for it, happy to be here!

Yes, they are an arrogant bunch of stuffers who for some reason hold the value of some members dollars more highly than others.
We should do a private poll of the total value of memberships who regularly post on this forum and WP should send that direct to Benny as feedback that this is how the club communicates with its loyal and financial members.
And to think one of the "pillars" is to better understand members

"I'm not spending any more money (apart from memberships) on the club until you deliver on the social media commitments you made to all fan forums a couple of years ago.
Social media isn't conditional on how the club chooses to prioritise its resources into making money.
It's about showing a genuine commitment to fan engagement.
After all, isn't understanding fans a pillar of the clubs?
Until you change your policy on fan forums, please opt me out of your EDMs"

"I'm not spending any more money (apart from memberships) on the club until you deliver on the social media commitments you made to all fan forums a couple of years ago.
Social media isn't conditional on how the club chooses to prioritise its resources into making money.
It's about showing a genuine commitment to fan engagement.
After all, isn't understanding fans a pillar of the clubs?
Until you change your policy on fan forums, please opt me out of your EDMs"
Well said

Contacted RFC can via Twitter last week about club not answering emails ;D
They asked who I'd sent email to and they'd investigate
Haven't heard anything since.
If nothing by AGM I'll be bailing up the person RFC official reports to for answers
You ever hear anything Wilbur?

Ok thanks for the information.
Congratulations for holding it together for longer than you normally do.

Is Richmond going to change it's backwards / sideways game plan this year. It would be wise too considering many long term members have had a gut full of laughable skill-less football.

Hey stig, will the club be holding auctions for some of the used equipment and clothing that's no longer required by the club or players? What happens to all this equipment these days, in the past the club used to have exclusive member auctions. TIA
