2007 would be the year Richmond "gained respect" - Prez

[letsgetiton!]

Might also add that the Pres would have little idea about football.
He too spends too much time in a solarium

i smell a tsunami coming

by round 12, the rumbles will start and a mutiny will begin

it will just take one bloke to start the ball rolling and the board will be up for a battle again

bring it on, its time to serious questions and ask for serious answers

That's all we need. How many times has board and off-field battles solved our problems in the past!

If there is such a bloke, let's hope he's weeded out beforehand.

Not that i am saying its the right thing to do but dooesnt someone only need 100 signatures to hold an E.A.G.M?

If we are 0-11 at the half way mark, i bet there would be 1000 people and counting who would sign for it.
