Unlike other clubs, Richmond kept its soul by not leaving its home Punt Rd (Age)
« on: October 09, 2020, 05:32:06 PM »
Caro has written an article today about AFL clubs in particular Essendon losing their soul after abandoning their traditional home (eg: Windy Hill) for outer suburbia training facilties.

We of course remained at Punt Rd and in Richmond. Caro adds:

"Richmond may have botched several key design features at Punt Road but remaining in the heart of Richmond will prove a triumphant legacy decision for the Tigers."

I totally agree.
I was also of the belief that going to Craigeburn and Beaconfield to even have training days was unnecessary.
Our heart and soul is Punt Rd.
It’s an unshakable part of our DNA

"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”
