Vince was start of second round, compo.
Hampson end of second round.
Vince also got four years at 28, but I take your point.
I will defend our recruiting vs. Melbs quite happily though.

My main gripe was with Claw heaping poo on his own players but lauding the rabble that is MFC.

Frawley is quality and would be massive for our backline. Hope we have a serious crack
fantastic player imo. pace power strength and just hates being beaten. if he had played in a good side to date we would all be lauding him as among the best kpds in the comp.

you know the best oif the best kpd stoppers first and foremost 95% of the time win one on ones all things being equal.  this guy will do this all thinghs being equal. we cant say this about eithe chaplin or rance.
id swap rance for him tommorrow but melb arent that stupid i think. good structure good coach and this bloke is going to be jumping out of his skin reckom its too late.

is there any one here want to wager within affordability  small bets please  and im prepared to bet that melb finish higher than richmond next yr. imo there is not a big degree of difference between them and a lot of sides.
if they can win enough ball in the midfield they are structurally better than a lot of sides.

$500. Put up or shut up.

I understand that Claw can be infuriating at times and outlandish with some of his statements, however I feel it's unfair to blame him for our failures over 30 years or even to claim his type of attitude is at fault. To the contrary IMO what has caused more pain and failure than anything has been an uncritical acceptance by the members of decisions made at Richmond.
Simply think of the messiah complex and the effect of people like Bond, Casey, Schwab, Sheedy, Miller, Wallace.

According to Claw this is the scientifically proven method the club uses for draft selection.  ;D

Poor old claw cops it from the feral brightsiders everywhere he posts. I think he makes salient points more often than not, though his cause isn't helped by his pee poor punctuation skills and run on sentences that give his comments the appearance of breathless rants - which I can only assume is how many read them in their heads - as much as his reluctance to give any credit to anything whatsoever. No need for everybody to dogpile on him though. Use the ignore function if you find his views that hard to deal with.

As for his Melbourne comments....who knows what will happen next year? How many of you predicted Port would finish ahead of us at the start of last year - which the effectively did by going deeper into the finals than us -? They were arguably just as big a rabble at the end of 2012 as Melbourne were.

Hear, hear. Gotta love the way some constantly excuse failure and applaud mediocrity and carry on like defending premiers when we still haven't achieved anything beyond what any Richmond side has since 1982. There are many things the current regime deserve credit for but people need to step back and realise the job is long way from done and it hasn't been all been flawless. I believe we can make finals nearly every year and always have - even before the 2010 season - nearly any team can finish at least 8th in any given year, it's not really the sporting Everest that it's seemingly become for us over the decades. Should merely be the minimum standard for a great club like ours.

MFC seriously WTF, just to mention Mrs Morton, Trengrove and Scully without even looking at their later first round picks or the second rounders.

Fair dinkum you would be excused for necking your self if you are a Dees supporter.

Nice troll work from the Big Clawski

Rd 19 last year...GWS beat Melbourne by around 40 pts

Three weeks later Richmond beat GWS by 20 goals ( not 20 pts ) at the same venue.

Claw must be a very rich man .

That's incredibly simplistic. The way I used to think about football 30-odd years ago - when I was 10. Has about as much revelence to next year as the fact we barely beat Melbourne by 6 goals in the middle of a period where they were losing to everyone else by 15 goals + .....i.e. none.
