Summary

* 42k in 2010 (actually had more in 2009 due to the Cuz aberration). Significant milestone but it's been building - 53k last year and now 60k.

* ME Bank Centre (look) polarised opinion. Important part of our offering as a football club - not only to players but to staff as well. Most important has been the upgrade of the oval. It was a cow paddock. Now players appreciate it as they can train and practice their structures etc on a proper surface.

* Being able to offer hope (eg: young group coming through) getting to the stage where it's important. Building up the financial muscle. We need to take the next step and Dimma hasn't shied away from playing finals this year. We are beating the sides around and below us this year which we didn't do last year. Now need to beat the sides above us.

* Impressed with Dusty's maturity and growth as a person. More consistent footy from him now. We'll pay the players what they are worth within the bounds of our salary cap.

* Wouldn't know about Mark Williams (regarding Melbourne job). Gale said he wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't chased after. We're pleased with what he's done at Richmond and he's focused 110% on the Tigers.  We've incrementally improved year by year and we still have a way to go. We aren't surprised as we improve others will be interested in our people.

* Own VFL side is crucial. We couldn't afford it initially. As our financial standing improved we've now been able to do it. Doing the transition with dignity and that's important for Coburg as well. 2014 will be a big year.

* Composition of membership is varied. Guaranteed no pets are included in our tally lol. Ridgy didge 60k members. Other clubs sell memberships with a reserved seat so they may be down in numbers but revenue is strong. We accept everybody.

* More vigilant on who walks into the club and deals with the players. Regarding 'risk' the tone is set by the top (Board) and we make sure everything is done right throughout the Club from top to bottom.

Will make a huge difference to our development week in week out imo. Also a great selling point for the club with two teams to follow at very close venues (Punt Rd & MCG). Probably been said before but the VFL team will not be wearing the Tiger Jumper. The players pushed that this be the case because they feel the Tiger jumper is an honour and privledge that is earned and having the VFL team wearing it too would send the wrong message.

I always liked the white jumper with the yellow and black sash. If they dont do that they should go the reverse yellow jumper with black sash. Whatever they choose they shouldnt play in a training top. Make it a legitimate jumper of the Richmond FC and its reserve side.

No it hasn't, club haven't mentioned it publicly  ;D ;D

But I did hear about it too a few weeks ago  :rollin :rollin

The reason I would go with the white jumper with the yellow & black sash is because the wankers at the AFL may one day force clubs to have away strips and then we could easily go for the reverse jumper - yellow jumper with black sash.

You raise a valid point, but I'm not a fan of white in the jumper . . . I guess anything is better than the garbage they have to wear at the moment.

What are some designs we could see?

Like the idea that the players think the Richmond jumper is a privledge to wear.

How about:

For HOME: NAB Cup YELLOW jumper with the swril of BLACK and Tiger and Black shorts.

For AWAY: NAB Cup BLACK jumper with the swirl of YELLOW and Tiger and White shorts.

I do hope we build some stands around Punt Road Oval.

Will there be coaches boxes?

Will there be a video screen?

Will there be player changing rooms that only VFL teams can use and not touch our ones!

Could stay yellow and black and instead of a sash use stripes?
