[Go Richo 12]

have been away on holidays and read with interest all your views.
This kid should never of been drafted in the first place.
Yet another waste of a drfat pick

hmm, pretty sure that was the line we took in neglecting Franklin and choosing Bling

all too hard .
why does the club do it too themselves.
Was speaking to a couple of recent ""ex players"" on holidays,
Footy is a bit harder than most of you think.
We just take players out of one enviroment and think they can be transformed into an AFL player.
In this instance, complete waste of a draft pick. Huge risk by the club.

Huge risk by the club? Pick number 51? Skinny draft?
There is absolutely nothing to lose with a pick 51 player who does actually have talent and could of would of been taken higher if not for his PAST!

HUGE RISK.
Causes divisions in the playing group.
Can tell you this, we have had serious problems in the past with players not getting on and being in there own little group. FACT

No doubting that jack, but put 40 odd people together and that will always happen. I don't think I ever played in a footy club that didn't have different 'groups'. Yeah, sometimes individuals or a small number of players can cause problems -sometimes you can see it coming sometimes you cant, but in my experience it's not necessarily those that get into trouble outside of the club that are problem. I'd be pretty sure that all clubs have to manage that problem and it probably often plays a part in why some players are traded, just we the public just don't get inside goss.

Have you played footy before jack or been involved in a team environment?

If our lads are on the right track they'll band behind him and show support. To be honest most of them wont even bat an eye lid as it's so irrelevant to the team and what they are trying to achieve. It's not primary school jack, grown men wont be divided over an individual's issue of an apparent altercation on the other side of the country.

Good to see FACT(S) making an appearance in 2010 

Seriously though - IN THE PAST is the key words here i would think. What happened in the past is just that the PAST (even though some struggle to let go  )

As for the HUGE RISK - all draft picks are risk, later ones usually a bigger risk, that's the nature of the beast. So there isn't any great surprise there

Seeing we don't have all the FACTS I think it is a little early to be saying it is a waste of a pick. As I said day let's just see what happens first before we hang the kid out to dry

I dont seem to recall clubs lining those two fellas up prior to the draft, remembering TT was talked out of joing GC

Gilmore they did, but the real point is they both had a history of priors before coming the club.
RFC think they have this miracle wand that they wave and cure teenagers problems

Lions and Dogs must have the mature age wand then, got to take risks in life man.

Mute point as it is the past.

Let's deal with the NOW

Let's just wait and see what happens once the police conclude their investigations.

Yep, there is risk management and there is not wanting to die wondering.  I don't ever want Richmond to die wondering.

[WA Tiger]

Thats right Smokey, what happens if this kid becomes a superstar, will the GC17 be ridiculed for not pushing harder for him like we always do. Hey if he doesn't work then so be it, not like we arn't used to that.

Sports Tonight showed Troy sitting at the Richmond table at the AFL Induction Camp today (and they mentioned his "indiscretion" in passing as something the AFL wanted to avoid). It looked all the Tiger newbies were sitting in the front row of the audience when the talks were on.
