I'd rather have been less competitive and put more games into youngsters and the getter better draft picks because you finished a little lower. That's what not taking short cut means. If they're going to take mature recruits get former champs like Goddard or Chapman, not former duds.

That would mean spending $$$$$.

It's much easier to use money on cheaper bargain basement alternatives both players and assistants.

We market ourselves as being a Myer or a David Jones when in reality we are The Reject Shop.
That's where I want the thousands I've put into the FTF to go though.......

Sorry this is RFC and you've been scammed.
Let big business pay FTF if they want.
I'll buy my memberships as per usual and that's it.
If RFC was on the stock exchange as investors we'd all be jumping out of skyscrapers.
we would be called junk bonds

Just junk.
Las Vegas was rebuilt out of Junk Bonds. An oasis in the desert.
We have never been rebuilt and anything resembling a rebuild at RFC is merely a mirage.

"a loss to Melbourne isn't a time to quote stats" lmfao Caro  :bow

2nd to North in efficiency this week - what an arhidi

Given North played witches hats this week great call.
We should be proud.

Our club will never win a Premiership. We are just making up the numbers in the AFL and we as members and sponsors are just a cash bank for the employees of the club. In all seriousness I think we are finished as a football club which could have a successful future. Not with this regime we wont. This is a regime who recruits blokes like Chaplin, Grigg, Knights, Hampson, Thomas and co. and then they go and slap each other on the back and tell each how much hard work theyve done lol. They have no clue what they're doing and thats the reality of our position.

Making mistakes is not scary, everyone does it and you can learn a lot from your mistakes - but as a supporter I have grave reservations that this football club has the ability to see its mistakes for what they are and then to learn from them.

For example - In hindsight, the ranking/rating system they do on players out of 1000 is wrong. I recall talking to TB about this on the fan forum night thinking at the time gee wiz this is a bit dicey bc what you 3-4 people rate, others may not. Will we change the people that rate these players? This rating system basically dictates their final list management decision on whether to take a Blair hartely special or an unknown draftee. If the judges on talent are found wanting, our whole philosophy is pardon the French - stuffed!

Who made the decision to not replace leppa and cambo? Cambo wasn't really coaching but he was in charge of opposition analysis, are we now stretched too thin? Again I ask, who made this decision? and why? was it bc of the startup costs associatd with getting our own vfl side adequately resourced? I'd just like to understand the thinking that goes behind these types of decisions that at face value, look strange.

Why were we so far off the mark fitness wise early on in the season? Something went wrong there.

Why was Troy Chaplin promoted to the leadership group on the back of 1 year at the club? Now the clubs hands are tied as they will not drop a leader.

The coach promotes a very tight nit senior core of players which is great but also has weaknesses. Cliques can evolve, Lids's comment the other day about there being nothing in the vfl to replace senior players with reeks of him looking out for his mates namely Grigg and Vickery.

I hope we are a mature enough organisation to make the hard calls, but tbh Im not sure we can or will.

When Adelaide, Carlton lost to Melbourne, their coaches were angry and out for blood! What does Hardwick do? He cries ...  :banghead

That's not a real coach.
