Richmond receives no compo for losing Matthew White [updated]

[Judge Roughneck]

[conspiracy hat]Reckon they used us as guinea pigs to gauge the fan reaction for no compo in the afl as of next season. They know tiger supporters are an emotional bunch, so if there is going to be a fan revolt it would be us, and even if they poo on us we are loyal so no damage[/conspiracy hat]

what are the channels of reporting our displeasure?

cow poo at AFL house?

what else is a realistic option?

start a petition?

death threats to vlad?

there is no way for richmond fans to report anger

Chicken is an old fave and has always got a reaction when used in the past.

It's too late for that, the cause has already been lost.
The club needs to learn how to play the PR better, the press line should have been along the lines of being 'devastated' at the loss of White, an 'integral' player to our 5th placed side, but we will 'do our best' with the compensation given to us by the AFL. 3 or 4 days of consecutive press releases and a pumping this message out in every door stop interview. We will be getting compensation for Matthew White. This is where Hawthorn missed out with Buddy, they were too nice about it all and ended up with pick 19.
If you create hope amongst your own supporters, you can hijack the AFL into favourable decisions, this is how Collingwood get given 1st round picks and get to write their own fixture every year.

Here here

U forgot about their away strip that they decide not the AFL

They do create their own luck though. I mean Dawes, Wellingham what spuds

The RFC create their own problems and it doesn't get any bigger that they believed they would get a second rounder for those 2.

Why should the club have to resort to this?

Why is the playing field notlevel without the requirement of a properganda department?

Really - do we require human rights lawyers and spin doctor for a bloody third round pick for a best 22 player 

Who signed athree year contract with a top 8 side

That's a really good point. Got to get the propaganda machine in full swing, the AFL operates on perception above substance. Help nudge the call in our favour.

Look at the pies - adams for Shaw. Shaw has been an agrader no doubt, but has been exposed this season and has 2-3 years of top standard footy left max, Adams is an elite young talent who is already performing and is expected to have another 10+ years of elite performances. Yet nearly everyday I saw media reports stating a straight swap for Shaw and Adams would be reasonable and fair, no doubt thaqt has come from the pies sources to every journo on the books! Subsequently that perception has become the industry agreed value amongst the 'scribes'

This is Peggy's 1st blunder as being President if she lets the AFL rob us of a compo pick when other clubs are getting compo picks for lost players. Free Agency will be scraped after this year cause its robbing clubs. 

Has got nothing to do with the prez how our footy dept trades. We are not the first club not to get compo picks

Secondly, free agency isn't going anywhere because the AFLPA now demands it. Personally I hate it and i am against it but it's here now and it ain't going anywhere

What will go and should go is this farcical compo system.

[TigerMonk]

lol at you people who think the President is not the most important player in the club. Have a look around at the strings other Presidents pull. Other strong clubs don't get walked over by the AFL. l stated it wrong above as it was meant to be compo picks abolished as you stated WP.
