very promising game form the teenager who has only a handful of career games.

Very strong and aggressive and athletic, and very intelligent and has leadership qualities as well.

The coaching staff have a really high expectations of his ability and we should all look forward to what he can achive next year on the back of a full pre-season. Very encouraging game. Tough player.

Have a slice now.  He has been nothing but courageous the last two weeks getting crunched backing into packs with the flight of the ball.  Ill even sprinkle some used kitty litter on it for flavoring.

Um, I don't think so Owl.

Have another read of my post;

Now that I know what he is capable of, courage and desperation wise, I expect to see it every week and I will very gladly eat humble pie on here if he becomes the full package.

One half decent game, and it was only a half decent game, does not maketh the full package.
As Jackstar said, he has hardly even kicked the ball yet. All he has done is flip a little handball to the bloke nearest him.

He's still miles away.

Half a decent game qualifies for a 3 year contract at punt road

Hey D.Crane..you don't want to show too much common sense now

The same coaching staff that promoted and have high opinions of Tom Hilsop, recruited T. Taylor and R. Roberts.
Also the same coaching staff that have left Shane Tuck rot at Coburg for months
The same coaching staff that play Post for one week and drop him back to Coburg when he hasnt done anything wrong.
Get me a break Blaisee
Club should sign him for 3 year contact now on $400,000

Hey Jackstar, I'm like you, would love to be proven wrong in this case.
Richmond being a winning force means a lot more to me than whether I look like a d head on OER.

D. Crane , you are correct.
Just because the club make decisions doesnt mean they are the correct decisions
as per the last 30 years of pain- previous decisions have been the wrong decisions, as the position on the ladder indicates.
I want to be successful more than anyone.
I want to play finals and win as many games as possible, I have a young family and the kids are sick of being""easy beats""
Most supporters on here ""go off"" after a few wins.
Lets try and win the next 3 games,it  would be a real measure of where we are at.

Footy clubs have moved on JS even if you haven't.

They now have Football Operations, split into:
- Sports Medicine
- Coaching
- List Management
- Recruiting
- Player Development
- Etc.

Pretty sure the coaching staff (your term) had very limited input into the recruiting of Troy and Relton.

Contracts are issued and negotiated by List Management, also not the the coaching staff.

Don't ever let the facts get in the way of a good rant, hey.  Sorry that should FACTS.

[Jackstar is back again]

who said that list management have got any idea ??? Hislop and Hicks says it all
Dont let facts get in the the way of a good rant.
WE ARE 13TH ON THE LADDER for a reason
and the worst performing melborne based club for the last 20 years, FACT.
By the way, the lack of money and resources havent stopped the Bulldogs and North being competitive and playing finals, have they
as for player development, YOUR DREAMING, we are the skinniest under developed bunch of players you will see in the AFL

[Gigantor]

jack i agree we are skinny..for those with involvement at the top level when should a draftee be developing size?

[Coach]

Some people elsewhere reckon Craig Cameron is doing a great job. That's fair enough but I reckon he's been poo when it comes to the LIST MANAGING. Some of the contracts he's handed out.......
