"The Club knows the Tiger Army are going feral!"
Jon Ralph's reply at half-time of Ch 10's coverage of Melbourne vs Port when asked about how the Richmond hierarchy have responded to the Gold Coast loss. The media are loving it after the past month's bad losses :scream.

Unless there is a shock result/Kangas getting trashed by 100 again, we're going to cop it big time.
I expect plenty of 'should the Tigers go after Malthouse' discussion.

And let's face it, well deserved "feedback" from the media. We are a joke of a club.

why wouldnt we ?
We need to do something Radical as a club
Not go around in circles as has been the case in recent times
-
I have followed this club for over forty years, paid countless thousands of dollars in memberships and coterie groups in the hope that one day the tide would turn. During this time I have watched the fortunes of just about every other club in the competitions fortunes change for the better whist ours have gone nowhere.
There needs to be people held to account, I cant continue to watch this crap any longer...I understand we lack players in the so called age bracket that is required to be successful and that we have too many in the too young bracket but hey so to do GC. What happened yesterday is inexcusable.
I have sent emails to B.Gale and have not received a reply, this so called repeated claim that we are a club of the people blah blah seems to only apply when the club wants something from me but when I want something from the club, what do I get? Big fat donut.
This pains me to say but I will not attend another RFC game whilst Dimma is coaching unless the club announces that they will be doing all possible to get some experienced help for Dimma. he is all at sea and is surrounded by inexperienced help. We need to do what Carlton did last year, surrounded Ratten with experienced people like Richardson and Brown etc.
Why would anyone want to come t RFC in its current state, the club can bang on all they like about new facilities etc but the same poo is inside the the new facilities. We need to change and change quickly.
To watch good junior footballers become incompetent footballers under the care of RFC is mind boggling.
Why has every other club been able to turn their fortunes around to some degree in the past 30 years but our useless miserable club has continued in the mire? Wrong people at the top, people that run failed companies are running our club any wonder we are failed club.
-
That's right, we have every reason to go feral!
The club should be done with fraud! All these promises to suck in members- 70-10-2793 or whatever the stupid slogan is!
"Earn your stripes" was a membership slogan a few years ago, well how about earning your members? Gary March talking about winning flags, well lets beat Suns and Power first before we talk about flags. In fact Suns will win their first flag before we win another!
All this talk about heading in the right direction, well the only direction we can see is a very familiar pattern reoccuring and that is why we are going feral!

Correct, going around in circles and Dimma isnt the answer either it seems
Its time for the chicken manure to be dumped at Punt Road

This is a great post. It is unfortunate too many at Punt Rd have an sense of entitlement that they feel comes with the job instead of an accountability.

post of the year, 100% spot on
-
We need New Leadership. Starting with a new President and a new Director of Football or whatever Camerons job title is. We need to make a couple of changes to the assistants. And thats just for starters. We need a new momentum that the current incumbents cant bring IMHO.

Thanks Y&B, and you are correct too!
Imagine running a business where customers came in looking for a product that was advertised and the owner kept on saying," it is developing", "we have a debt to service first", "you can't have that product yet as we are more concerned about the processes"! Then the customer complains and the owner says," be patient!"
The business would not last very long!

As peeed off as I have ever been!

This is oh so true. Pretty much sums up how I feel. I would say we are 6 weeks away from a board challenge if we don't stop the rot very quickly
-
where are the old chesnuts Bernie Finn and David Clayton, LOL Board challenges
-
People were ringing up SEN yesterday telling them that they were microwaving their membership cards ... now we are all disappointed but only one of ours would microwave a membership ticket as revenge lol. :lol
-
nobody will go next week.
For the first time ever, I am considering not going, why would I?
-
Im not going, how could I possibly justify to my family im leaving them for the afternoon to watch RFC. :'(
-
Simply really - vote with your feet and do not attend.
Who are the Tigs playing next week & where ?

Geelong at Docklands on Sunday. And I'm going to spare myself the pain of a similar result to the 157 thrashing they dished up to us at the same venue about 4 years ago. A day that my photo appeared in the Herald-Sun for almost giving myself an anuerism I was abusing Brad Ottens so vociferously all day long.

I should have patented the the mircowave a membership card idea years ago (I think it was about 15-20 odd years ago) ...seems far too many have cottoned on with no financial benefit to me ;D

Which of you ferals keeps voting March back in? Because it's not me. Or do you not vote at all then complain dipshi†s are running the club?

I'm hoping the scheduled family function next week is on Sunday so I have an excuse to not go to Etihad.

Pretty much the same, but I can tell you if I could rely on a mass protest I would definitely consider not going.
-
no use talking about protests and the like to get the message through. the truck load of chicken poo and the package of hearts really changed things didnt it?
you run out onto a sporting arena and you should not need anything but pride in your own performance to bring out the best.
It's a bit harsh to expect the youngsters to carry the can, but there are some senior players that dont seem to have what it takes in terms of intestinal fortitude.
speaking of which, i hope someone tells jackson that toughness in footy is winning the hard ball, not cheap snipes.
-
All these people not going next week. I wonder if Willy is reading this. He won't be happy. :lol
-
is that band wagoning? :outtahere
-

Willy is reading. And yes, Willy is not happy. This is because of the general state of the club at the moment not because of people saying they wont rock up this week.
i dont blame people for not going if they are that upset with the club. I had a problem you saying that u didnt go because you didnt think we would win. I dont need to explain why these are different.
I feel flat as a tack either way.
but thank you for thinking of me. :-*

They probably will and should with the draft picks concessions they have had. None the less we have to take the long road like Geelong did and recruit our own team from the draft not trade for them, develop and improve our club culture, improve our finances.
I don't really see why people as going so bananas, If no the least, we are very close to the the least experienced list in the comp going by games played. That's why they sold games, cos they knew we were going to be crap this year and next too.

I find it highly offensive that the club we support thinks we are a bunch of Ferals.
I have been a Richmond supporter for 37 years and a member for 10. Every year I buy the club's new merchandise including jumpers scarfs and shirts. I have generously donated money to the club on at least 5 occassions including the recent FTF. Yet I am a Feral????
In recent years I have decided to purchase 2 premium A memberships with reserved seats on level 2 at both the MCG and Eitiad. I did this to support the club finacially and to take along family members or staff who may be interested in coming along. I will say this again, I'm a feral??
I would now like to say that I'm completely disgusted by this suggestion and I will remember this in November when the RFC are chasing me to renew my committment to the club. My response won't generous next year!
Take the mirror out of your back pocket RFC and take a good hard look at yourself!

Sorry but have i missed something? When have the club refered to us as 'ferals'???
The media, yes occasionally. But the club??
I've heard nothing but cliched praise for the supporters from Gale, Dimma etc.
-
dont think the club used the term feral cracker. that was just john ralph being a "journo"

I think you'll find the media use the term feral cracker, not something you'd see from a RFC media release

No I won't be going next week either. I've had enough of this Benny Hill show debacle!
I will go fishing instead and enjoy my afternoon :cheers
-

-
Actually Jon Ralph in Jon Ralph's words. The club told him the fans were Feral, because of yesterday's result.

But where in the equation does he Gaf?

We need to stop being treated as idiots. Even more important that some people wont recognise or accept the continual same mistakes - bulldust spin year in year out. Stop defending this crap or are you defending the real lunatics that are repeating this rubbish. Dima hasn't changed us we have changed him.
