Richmond lacking leadership in tough times (Age)

[WilliamPowell]

so Balme is on full pay sitting at home attending zoom meetings. Is that accurate?

well we aren't winning and im hearing a lot of excuses so yes it needs to be brought up.

hate to say it, but some of us are fully paid members who forked out a lot. Not after a GF this year but an effort would be nice

Didn't say he was on ful pay

Said he is on reduced hours, therefore reduced pay like many others at the club

[WilliamPowell]

Balme on reduced hours and is role sits outside soft cap due to its definition ie consultant. His suggestion to keep the rest of the footy dept pre covid.

  ^^^^ this

Spot on. I mentioned on another thread.

The football department are unaccountable without Balme in charge. Too many suckholes that let Dimma make all the decisions. Benny stuffed up big time letting Dimma get his way on keeping all the coaches and he needs to fix it pronto.

As for Riewoldt he should be retired effective immediately. Guy is not a leaders ahole and never has been

What a horrible take on a champion of the club.

The players voted him out of the leadership group in 2014 because they thought the same thing. He has been a fine player but shoukd not be a leader ahead of Grimes, Vlaustin, Edwards, Lynch et al

And what’s happened since then? 2 premierships as vice captain, Coleman medals, All Australians.

Jack is badly out of form but there isn’t many that arnt. No point signalling anyone out at the moment.

  How is meatball going?

 Honestly you can run the ruler over most of our team.

season aint done with it yet, but might be Sunday. If that happens go the youth and reload for 21.

so many muppets here that think they know it all are shooting at trees but missing the forest....

Essendon last night with CARACELLA in charge of ball movement looked like Richmond of the last 3 years.  WTF are you going on about Balmey , Jaack etc

[Francois Jackson]

mentioned caracella factor the other week and then it was shut down when baggas beat them.

TBH i think its a whole heap of reasons/excuses, which isnt a good sign.

No pressure on the ball carrier is the biggest issue, no ball movement, players not performing, carcacella, covid, no crowd, balme, list goes on
