Richmond's change of recruiting philosophy drives change of fortunes (H-Sun)

[blaisee]

I would be quite interested in Claws response to this article....serious

ive actually praised their first round selctions and i agree we have found at the worst decent players with them in the main.
why not francis jacksons entire record though.

he started with us in 05 yes is.

he started in a full time capacoty in 2005 and he is on record that the first pick he made in an afl draft was jack riewoldt in 2006

Claw you dont have the emotional maturity to be a richmond supporter when the tigers are winning, don't stress, I get that, 30 years of the crap being served up to us has clearly taken its toll.

The fact is, you and some others , ramps for example, are the types that if we do win the premiership, call for everyones head if we don't go back to back.

Its ridiculous

he doesn't generally deal well with facts, seriously FJ's got a better record of picking winners than Venezuela does Miss universe contestants, 

..Bo your grasp of the world stage is mind blowing

 

Claw - Hartley did not arrive until 2010 so realistically only made his first impact on recruiting in 2011 so none of these players can be included to your list - farmer, nason, webberley, derickx, miller and jakobi.

He has more than enough runs on the board to make him a trading superstar for mine.  Maric, Morris, Chaplin, Grigg, Houli, A.Edwards have all strengthened our side immeasurably. I now have faith 'his' new batch - Hampson, Gordan, Lloyd and Thomas, will do the same. He has a better track record than almost every other recruiter in his role across the rest of the competition.

yep good correction. Claw in his efforts to "enlighten" the rest of us has mashed his facts. Love how now every single mature  pickup is hartleys decision now.

actually hartley was working for port and screwed us ( richmond ) for Shultz and offloaded both Thomson for a second round pick and farmer for Shultz

Yep thats correct you gotta make hay whilst the sun shines. Winning is everything and if we dont go back to back after winning the 11th tin mug I will consider it a failure. You can support everything the club does if you like but Claw and people like him just call it how they see it.

Just because people call it as they see it doesn't mean what they are saying is correct.

That must have been Richmonds recruiting team prior to Damien Hardwicks arrival as coach

Just a pity it's wrong. What a surprise!
Hartley joined Richmond in December 2009, shortly after Hardwick joined, as Opposition List Analyst.
All these attacks on Claw and his opinions and you can't even get right the basic facts like when a guy started working for the club.
Hardly makes your statements worth much.

Shutup with your Sydney propaganda. GTFO.

So When people defend the club they are 'sheep' and bullies but when people criticise the club they are courageous truth heroes?

'Co-ordinated attack'
 

Maybe people who are generally supportive of the club are calling it as they see it too? maybe they tend to defend the club more often than not currently  because they see evidence of success in the upward trend in nearly every key indicator on and off the field over the last four years?

I was outwardly critical of the club during the Wallet years. Won't hear me complaining too much at the minute though. This is not due to blind faith. This is because i can 'see' the strides made and have faith in the current administration. My posts will reflect this.
I ain't no sheep.

[dwaino]

Or maybe those who are generally supportive are you know, supporters  I may not agree with everything the club does but I'll support them regardless.

[Judge Roughneck]

claw does support the club, but.

 I know Hartley is opposition analyst - I was taking the pee bc claw heaped every single mature aged player taken in previous drafts at hartleys feet. Identifying and getting players like Maric, Grigg, Houli, Chaplin who were coming out of contract is a different process to drafting the likes of Oren and A.Edwards, Pettard and lonergan.
Lumping all of them together at hartleys feet to try and "keep it real" for us lemmings is distorting the truth a wee bit more than someone missing hartleys start date by a season. But you keep fighting the crusade bc we're all just blindly attacking claw for fun
