whats funny is this
The good clubs just cut them, eg hawthorn , Collingwood etc
we give them 2nd and 3rd chances.
Would of axed Connors as well

Bullsh!t of the highest order!

Wasn't the reason we overlooked Franklin because of his personal issues? Who took him?
What about Chad Morrison, heath Shaw, Didack, Ben Johnston and Chris Tarrant, Wellingham?
Travis tuck from Hawthorn is another that comes to mind, plus the unnamed players from Hawthorn with recreational drug issues? Just got rid of them, or a court injunction to prevent them from being named?

Your reactionary, ill informed, generalisations are bad enough without resorting to utter crap in an attempt to justify yourself.

Maurice Rioli was Aboriginal, we embraced him, we LOVED him!
Why, because he was a champion player and a great guy
Not every Aboriginal player is going to be as great as him football wise, but you have to wonder what is it in a person who can love Maurice, but have racist feelings for dud ones!
I don't understand people like that, don't want to understand, but if people treated everyone that was different like people have embraced Maurice, the world would be a better place.
Never happen though!

We go Ireland and look for recruits, eg. Marty Clarke, and bang! off home he goes! Apparantly homesickness was an issue, not a lack of committment to the AFL brand!
The Indigenous people of this nation are an almost infinite source of talent and skill, lets keep exploring that and get the structures within clubs for these kids that they need! Not just rooming with Mitch Morton either!

[FNM]

We know there is a long history of Aboriginal players wanting to go home yet we keep on recruiting them in the hope that one in five of them will stay the distance.
I've gotta say that if I was in their shoes, I might feel the same
It's a big ask to drag shy kids (most of them) away from their folks and everything they know, to go back to where they can play footy for fun, be with people who don't look at them as though they have two heads, and away from "cold" Melbourne.
Is money a motivator for them to play in the big league?  I doubt it. They earn their hundred grand or more by playing a couple of years and they're happy, but home beckons.  Weigh up a more than likely "lonely" existence in Melbourne after a couple of years versus "home", I'd be off too if I was them.
It's the clubs' fault for picking them
I would love to see a Northern Territory team full of them - that would be my second club. They are wonderful footballers and the AFL should sponsor a club up there - and Tassie for that matter - before they go for any more clubs in states where they couldn't care less!

I will tell you all something, BREAKOUT YEAR 2011. J. POST !

From all reports Post seems lazy at training so far.

If he's only been back for 8 days then he shouldn't be fatigued.

is he fatigued cos he didnt do much fitness work in the off season and it has caught up with him back at training?

[Coach]

Pretty embarrassing to be the club with the Indigenous Institute yet not have a single aboriginal player on our list 

Edwards and Nason?

Good to see you make an appearance on the best Richmond forum on the net, Gracie. Should stop by more  often

Hows Beige treating you? Looks like a ghost town to me these days

That's crap they gave Peterson another chance after we already gave him a couple

[Chuck17]

I certainly dont.
His last game against Port just showed that he is a long way off the mark. (missed easy shots thats Auskick kids would kick )
Guys like O;Reilly and Griffiths etc have a future at Punt Road.
not some show pony who wear lime boots at his first game.
You would think some posters like to see the tiges on the bottom, I DONT
As a club we need to be RUTHLESS!
Keep turning the list over.

Blind Freddy could see tt has talent, quiet simply he is a raw football talent.  The issue is whether his potential can be developed due to the issues he has with the desire and commitment to play at the top level.

No wonder you got the rs from recruiting.

[jackstar is back again]

wasnt recruiting dick brain
taylor is unproven,  what has he done
He is NIL defensive skills
And is a POOR kick, dont you go to the games, eg Last round against Port

[jackstar is back again]

we have wasted 3 picks in recent times.
Alroy Gilligan, Relton Roberts and now Troy Taylor, move on shell we

Might further add there is a reason we havent been successfull for a long period of time.
POOR RECRUITING, and here is a perfect example

So it has nothing to do with Wallace's coaching?  Or our ability to physically and mentally develop our players?  Or our lack of funds to fill our rookie spots?  Or our over-rated and under achieving list?  Or our lack of funds to supply modern and professional training facilities?
