My grade
0/10
Absolutely ZERO, ZILCH, NOTHING!
that's all they deserve
and coming after last years Shaun Hampson fiasco where they deserved to get say
1/10
that makes it 1 out of 20 over 2 years
and that means it was a total and comprehensive failure.
They didn't do any work at all during the last 12 months. ZERO! They will claim they did plenty and they will make up excuses like Trengove failed a medical. Big Deal. Richmonds football staff probably only did about 2% of that, the rest was done by doctors, radiographers etc etc. Its all a load of crap.
2 years running they have failed and that begs the question
What the Fk do we pay them for? Why do members and sponsors put in money? To do what? These people at Richmond aren't good enough. Tiger Fighting Fund - lol. What a joke and the joke is on the members who give there hard earned for people to get big 6 figure salaries to do stuff all.
I wont be a member until these hacks leave the club. If it was good enough for KB its good enough for me. Why should I give these people my hard earned? They don't deserve poo.

Not too fussed, not much around. Draft is supposed to be pretty deep this year.
Would like to see us chase a gun though!

Amazing they didn't trade player/s out for better draft position. More so whe stanley is a pick 20 - Every club has a good young list more or less. We seems to not have a point of difference. going to be hard to be in the flag on the back of picks 50 / 70. Given the timing of the resigning announcing, I assume Elton dea, Bach , mcdonurs were those put on the table. Not bold or inspiring enough for my liking
-
I'm glad it's all over. Goes for too long and Barrett & Wallace really bug me with their interpretations of lists and trades.
What happened to the days where you woke up and found out you had a new recruit??
-

lacked imagination. I give a point for at least not trading for that lemon Trengove and the due diligence done there.

This for me shows the ignorance of some people on this forum when it comes to trades (including free agency). All some people want is for them to do anything even if it is to the detriment of the club and trade for the sake of trading. Yes you must look around and see what's on offer and try and get a deal done (who knows whether Richmond did this) but you don't trade just for the sake of it. At least this year we have our draft picks in tact but last year we made a major stuff up and lost our 2nd round pick AND picked up a dud yet they get a higher rating? Please.
This year 3/10 due to no stuff ups
Last year 0/10 for a major stuff up
-
Let's hope we start our trade period for 2016 over this summer.
RFC officials need to be heading over to Adelaide in the coming months to get Dangerfield to sign up for 2016.
If they miss him then they go after the next gun free agent. Then head up to Sydney and get a verbal agreement from one of J.Cameron , Treloar , Hoskin-Elliot or Shiel.
Get proactive and bloody well get it done !
That's the only way I'll forgive them for the Hampson stuff up and the inactivity of this year.

I gave them 1/10 last year coz they actually tried something, the result was bad but at least they had a go - not much of a go but a go nevertheless. This year has resulted in nothing. My grading is actually a grading over 2 years = was 1/20 your grading over 2 years was 3/20. Anyway we cut it, the last two years have been nothing short of an abysmal failure.
-
Yep either way we should be at least trying to do better. Seemed we were never contenders for anyone and if we were mentioned and someone else was, we'd pull out of the race.

Can we have a poll on it
It was an improvement on last year

Whatever score you give them, 2 should be added on for the due diligence of the medical staff in preventing a major catastrophe!! :bow

I don't believe we should trade for the sake of saying we made a trade. So that we didn't do anything isn't the end of the world.
I have no issue with them not bringing blokes in.
However, I am disappointed that we appear to have not tried to improve our draft position
I find it disappointing that we again seem to have refused to even consider trading any of our better players. Eg to hear on SEN that Vickery was "off limits" TBBH I found staggering. who many others were there that the same logic was applied?

stuffen awful. 0.
Where was plan B after Trengove? Were we prepared? If not can we think on the move?
Either recruitment staff lack the skills to mediate and seal a deal or we are so philosophically incompetent that we believe we don't need to address our list weaknesses.
Whilst I'm ranting, it almost looks like Freo, Rich and WC put up the Rance and Conca deals as PR exercises to look like we were involved.

I'm with you mostly. There wasn't much on offer to get excited about.
I think we should've had some sort of a go at Greenwood and the noises Richardson made about that deal were pretty baffling. ' If he leaves North we'll look at it '.. and.. ' we won't consider Grigg as part of the deal '
I just hope we've already got our FA targets as well as our uncontracted and contracted player targets for 2016 and start our process asap of getting them to the club. Times are a changin'. Get in early and go hard.

Save your political crap for the general discussion section.

10/10 , of the available garbage on offer , we could have made better use of our delistings as in asking Jacko or o hanlon to reconsider. We have Fj s team armed to the teeth with draft picks to re stock what's become a veritable warehouse of talent at punt rd :shh
-
The only thing stupider than RFC not having a proper crack is the fools saying junk like 'no point tradin just for the sake of trading, need to find good players'.
Open your eyes. There was SERIOUS talent switching clubs this year. Captains, premiership players, all Australians and brownlow medalists FFS.
And we look at blokes like Grigg and say that he's 'off limits'. FMD.
I'd have taken any of Greenwood, Varcoe, Cooney etc over the likes of Grigg or Petterd.
Cooney on one leg is a better player than plenty of our blokes.
If guys like Stanley attract approx pick 20 surely we could stuff off Vickery for something around that mark. Conca too.
Especially after Richardson's mid-season BS comment about how we're going to be aggressive in the trades this year because we need to improve out list. We look like a pack of morons.
God dammit seriously.

On the surface you are right. Information from a reasonable source, however, is that what the club is saying publically is very different to what actually occurred during discussions.
I'll just leave it at that.......

Agreed. I hear picks 128 and 146 are now Ebola free and their lack limbs is no shortage for their determination.

Very good as they see this draft as a good one and were carful not to waste our picks or pay overs , if there was something there that was too good to pass on they would have gone for it.
What's with Adelaide, wasting top picks on players that probably would have been delisted - stupid.
-
lol 25 30 players changed hands and numerous picks and not one of em are good enough for us.
me i would have gone hard at hallahan ffs 47 and 49 cheap as chips., garlett 61 and 79 virtually nothing, and frawley f/a free to a good home. .would add james gwilt also free to a good home. giles for pick 53 or luke lowden cheney a better propisuion than most of our hacks in defense.
it was a lost opportunity to find mature players add real depth and stay in the nd.
ah locked and loaded and those cherrys are as ripe as they will get. lol.
-
Hallihan, :lol we've got arnot in the ressies that can't crack our dream team midfield sonny Jim , some reference checks would underline he s a heck of a lot better performed at senior level that most if the second rate bums that switched clubs for no 7 picks et al :shh
-
Has to be 0/10 or n/a cause we did nothing.
Dan Richardson has to go. Biggest handbrake the club has had since Craig Cameron.

I thought from all reports we were going to be a player over the time, disappointed that nothing happened. Better mean something then....... :whistle

Gutless weak and insipid....
Blind Freddy can see our list needs help, and pick 12 and the rest of our picks are not nearly enough to catch the top sides..
30 odd years of the same old crap.
Hats off to the Dogs, at least they are putting their balls on the line, even if it doesn't work with Boyd, I'd be proud of my club for talking a educated rick. Good luck to them.
Anyone that is happy with the way this club is run is a deadbeat!
I am embarrassed for the RFC and I'm embarrassed to be a supporter.

so how did we do compared to sides below us. how about melborne a side that pulled our pants down
were very active, the way i read it their outs were
frawley, clarke, 23, 61, 79.
it leaves them with
nd 2, 3, 40, 41, 53, 59, plus they added lumumba, garlett, and frost. this compares to us.
nd 12, 31 , 49, 67, 85 with no new additions to alleviate needs.
i would not be surprised to see em pull our pants down again and possibly go past us. id be drooling over the prospect of picks 2 and 3 and a fit jesse hogan.
how about collingwood. they made the best out of a bad situation
outs were beams, lumumba.
it left em with
nd 5, 9, 28, 46, 64. plus greenwood, varcoe, crisp.
thats just two clubs around us. some people arent going to say we did okay surely. theres two clubs there who if they use the nd well will gain an inordinate amount compared to us.
but hey we are locked and loaded and dont need to improve our list they are cherry ripe.

I'm pretty disappointed TBH.
Just needed to be more creative.
Are Dan Richo and the boys worth what we're paying them? I'm not sold.
Not very inspiring for next year really.
-
Good post Andyy. There was some pretty good talent on offer this year but as always there was a lot of chaff too.
Agree with WP, very disappointed that we couldn't upgrade at least our second round pick. We needed another in the top 20 and when you look at the last trade it is actually possible to move on list cloggers, even if only for a small upgrade.
Look at Hawthorn who have embraced free agency, and look at the results.
2 years of free agency and what do we get, Shane Spudson, far can pathetic Richmond.
This 2 years of ball scratching in trade week better be leading to something big next year and I mean Paddy Dangerfield+1 big otherwise the recruiters and a few others have to go.
At least the club didn't throw players names around unneccesarily, I suppose I'll give them that, but under this system there are ways to upgrade without even doing that, but we have chosen not to go down that path either, this needs to change.

you have their records mapped out in front of you and you still have to ask that. cmon willy you know the answer already you knew the answer last yr and more likely yrs before that.
hartley, jackson, richardson their records speak for themselves.
ffs benny gale spoke about the advent of f/a and other things yrs before it happened and yet again we get left behind when a major change to the way things are done happens.
it all starts with the list manager followed closely by the recruiters. our trouble is if they cant or wont see the problems then they cant very well do something about them.
the rfc cycle of mediocrity continues. yet the nuffies will hang their hats on making finals.

yes, I don't have a terrific amount of faith in our recruiters/list managers. I hope there will be change at the end of next year if we don't win a final, as they must shoulder some of the blame.
Mate, I don't think anyone is satisfied with two elimination losses. Not even the most supportive fans.

They have their team, got Ryder and are very set.

RICHMOND PASS
IN: Nil
OUT: Nil
DRAFT PICKS: 12, 33, 52, 70, 88, 106, 124
VERDICT: Well done to the medical staff who kiboshed a Titanic of a trade when they turned down Jack Trengove after a scan on his foot. Informed judges believe they offered pick 12 for David Armitage, and sniffed around Adelaides Scott Thompson. Club denies both. Now look to the draft to find a pacy midfielder and potentially a clever small forward. Could they have done more to get another hard inside mid? Look at their rivals Hawthorn and Port all got appreciably better, so they need to extract significant outside from the likes of Conca, Vlastuin, Lennon, Vickery, Griffiths and Co.
5/10 its official you numpties
-
5/10 to be adjusted in a year or two.
If they can bring in some real talent it could be 10/10, if they bomb out in the ND it could be a big fat zero.

RICHMOND
What they got: Nil
What they lost: Nil
Draft selections: 12, 33, 52, 70, 88, 106, 124
Bottom line: For all the talk about not being seduced by the amazing end to the season, they are yet to make any significant changes to the list. Only time will tell what the inactivity means for next year and beyond.

i rate this draft a 9/10, equal to the size of feces that came of my date this morning.
As frustrating as it is was i couldnt give a stuff now. Season is over lads.
The only news i want to hear now, aside from FJ getting the sack, is the signatures of cotch, dusty and rance before round 1 next year. if we hit round 1 and some arent signed odds are one will whip out the party line "im not in a rush to sign until the end of the year"
Dan Richardson you are a hack but sign these guys up before xmas and you would have at least done something right.
Lose one and we are stuffed.
