Apparently David Norman, the head of our cheer squad, has passed away?

Haven't heard anything about that

But just to clarify he hasn't been head of our cheersquad for a very long time

Thanks for clarifying he hasn't been head of the CS for a while.

I can clarify that he's passed away.

In addition , you would prefer the younger blokes who will be around when we are challenging again.
There will be a good / better suited uncontracted  players available for us particularly with WC committing  to Robertson.
On another note,  I would have gone after Jack Steele if it was known that he was being discarded for almost nothing as he has leadership skills.

But he won't be around the next time we are challenging

Blair Hartley discussing where Sonsie and Dow sit right now.

Go to 2:50 min mark: https://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/1916195/hell-give-us-some-run-through-the-wing-and-the-half-back-hartley


"It's an unfortunate part of what we have to do. We have to keep spots open. So just through the next little bit while we're working through the pick swap window, we'll have to leave those spots on and that's where it sits with them [Sonsie & Dow] right now." - Blair Hartley

Anyone know how many players we have on our primary list and how many cat a and cat b rookies after trade period?

currently we have

34 on main list
4 on rookie list
1 on cat B list

I’m not 100% sure because anything is possible but I’m talking about the 99 percentile and your talking about the 1 percentile so I like my odds a hell of a lot better than yours.

End of the day it is not productive for a very young team to bring in a player who clearly does not want to be there. We’re not taking about a world beater either, he is a good player who would easily be best 22 for us, but he isn’t close to the type of player that would move the needle. It ain’t worth it.

It’s like my wife telling me about her day. I absorb the first 2 lines and then it becomes chocolate land thought bubbles.

Don't kid ya self your not capable of absorbing two lines.

Are we still talking about your posting?

Ohhh ... that's sad.  'Norm' was head of the ORCS when I joined up in the early 80's.  He always had time for people, knew everybody in the ORCS by name.  Richmond through & through ...

It is 100% counterproductive because he not only doesn’t want to be at Richmond but he doesn’t want to be playing in VIC either. We have a super young impressionable list and unless someone is committed to playing for the club, they should be avoided.

The options aren’t Richmond or going back to Brisbane, he wants to go to Adelaide and assuming clubs don’t reach out to his agent and see whether he would be willing to play for them, I am 99% certain he will be at the crows next year.

Why are you not 100% sure?

Cause you know deep down you are wrong and he might get picked up by a north or saints.

Where he would either whinge or more likely contribute to wins.
