Sheeds has another dig at Richmond

''People talk about windows of opportunity - Richmond have had five lots of five years of windows of opportunity and they are last. They keep walking past players.''

It's called not being fully resourced in a recruiting department to do a good enough job
He takes for granted the people resources he had at his club to scour the country to look for talent, and he still managed to stuff it up back in 2000, 2001 etc.  So best he check his own record before he criticises other clubs.
We had one person
We now have a few more, and it's a matter of opinion whether the likes of Dustin Martin will be future stars.  It's hard to see five years into the future  ::)
It's also got to do with a system that smart clubs know how to rort and others, like us, go the honourable way and try and finish the best we can, to give our supporters something back, hence we finished 9th every year and missed out on the opportunities,
And then when we genuinely needed help because we came last, the AFL decided in it's wisdom  ::) to give the first picks to a club that cheated.
Sheeds is turning into another Kevin who turned bitter and twisted after being rejected
What is it with the name of Kevin and Richmond?
Get over it you senile old man  :banghead

Actually it was funny I heard part of the press conference from yesterday and poor old Kevin said something along the lines of the AFL needs to ensure that the next 2 drafts are "strong" so "ESSENDON" can get the benefit. Some journos started to snigger and then he said "I mean G.......WS, yes GWS"

in 2004, we have 13 people actively involved Australia wide in recruiting.
Greg Miller headed this process.
Merv Keane was also there in a part time role as well (20 hours a week )
By memory we had Mark Meranda in WA. Richard Taylor in NSW and cant remember the other names, but there was 13 people that were doing 20 hours a week,
We were never unresourced as is currently being stated.
We made POOR CHOICES !  FACT

He is a cunning bastard.  Can u see what his intention is?  What better way to ensure a healthy rivalry with one of the big 4 that are rebuilding, and should be hitting some form in 2 or 3 years same as them really.  bloody stirrer.  People will stuff to our home games against them hoping we give it to sheedy's pups after his carefully placed jibes and perceived treachery.  The agro might even go both ways, hopefully.  Sheeds is doing us a big favor the old goat imo, and himself.

Sheedy has only one thing on his mind and that is his new team.
So what ever he has to say is just the same as what we have got to say, no one really care in the full wash down of it.
He is just blowing steam up his arse to keep his name out and about.
As he has almost been forgotten up there is Sydney.

Yeah but think about it.  Rivalry with a big club ensures you have a profile and a big game twice a year for starters.  Don't underestimate this cunning bastard, he invented the concept.  He is doing it for his own ends of course, to ensure his club gets a good start, Rivalry is what it is all about...  Crows and Port can't stand each other, Freo and Westcoast and so on,   but this is a brand new club with no real history so he is manufacturing a rivalry by using his own past and our perceived sense of being slighted by him.  Its smart chess and will be healthy to have another team hate us with a passion.
