if you dont give a stuff ramps, why do you feel such a need to belittle anyone that doesnt display the same level of dark misery as you?

  In the anals of history people are going to be talking about three things: the discovery of fire, invention of the submarine, and Richmond's 11th premiership

"Anals of History"? Sounds like some kind of porn compilation.

After Trade Week l am sure the recruiting staff & a few others at Tigerland are delusional if they even consider this list taking them higher into the 8 next season. There was plenty of quality up for trade & we have players who needed to be traded yet again we do nothing. Is this a result from the failure of the past few seasons apart from Miles. Tigerland needs to get tough & make some decisions on players who just aint going to improve or have one good season out of 9. The failure of forwards in big games not standing up like Rewoldt need to be replaced & Rewoldt moved down field. They need to start loading pressure on players like Vickery & Griffiths in the key forward positions. They desperately need a new young ruckman to take pressure off Maric & they need 2 strong body players to win the ball & block in the midfield. Newman, Edwards, Foley should have been moved on. l reckon clubs who done the right thing are the Bulldogs who got value from a ageing Griffen @ 29 & Cooney who gave them absolutely nothing since winning the Brownlow & won't give the Bombers anything. The Bulldogs off loaded players who were on big money & giving no reward & l feel Richmond will fall into this trap. Collingwood again made progress & if they rise above us next year l'm going to crack. 2 picks before our pick 12 & they got new quality players. The only players they lost were players who were lost themselves. 1 a fool & the other who must return home. If Richmond don't pull some gold out of the draft & the PSD then we will suffer. l just pray  they make some changes next season cause we need some new quality.

I'll be content with this trade period IF we do what we should of done this year...PLAY THE KIDS! We have some young players (not really from the last draft  ) from the last couple of years and the ones we SHOULD be getting this draft period who given a go could make our list better in the long run, hell I reckon a couple of kids could come in for some of the hacks and we wouldn't drop off that much. If we continue to play the older guys instead and/or have a similar draft as last year (only picking up one kid) we have failed and over exaggerated our list by a long way.

Play the favourites = Top 8 and a finals WIN or it's a fail
Play the kids = Some slack on making the top 8 but at least some competitiveness.
We've tasted finals and without some changes we're always going to get that same disgusting taste of getting belted in the first round.

Draft, not trades, excites Tigers: Richardson.

RICHMOND is poised to make its heaviest investment in the NAB AFL Draft since 2010 after a failing to address its midfield issues through the trade period.

The Tigers had hoped to improve their midfield depth and speed during the exchange period but a number of proposed deals fell over, leaving the club without a single trade.

With five spots to fill on the senior list, Richmond is expected to take selections 12, 33, 52, 70, 88 to the draft on November 27 where it hopes to find players who will improve its midfield.   

The Tigers have recruited a total of 10 new players through the NAB AFL Draft in the past three seasons, also using free agency, the pre-season draft and mature-age rookies to build their list.

They last went deep into the draft in 2010, using five selections, while in 2009 – when Dustin Martin was recruited with pick No.3 – they took seven new players.

"We're happy to retain our draft picks and invest heavily in this year's draft," football manager Dan Richardson told the club's website this week.
