How did you rate the trade period from the Richmond FC

[big tone]

Club is run by a bunch of sissies.
To scared to make a mistake...
To scared to sack a coach...
To scared to move on an under preforming recruiting manager....
To scared to spend some money.....our money!
To scared to to have a go....
To scared to make a change...
Always drafting the safe kid...
Gutless weak and insipid....

Blind Freddy can see our list needs help, and pick 12 and the rest of our picks are not nearly enough to catch the top sides..

30 odd years of the same old crap.

Hats off to the Dogs, at least they are putting their balls on the line, even if it doesn't work with Boyd, I'd be proud of my club for talking a educated rick. Good luck to them.

Anyone that is happy with the way this club is run is a deadbeat!

I am embarrassed for the RFC and I'm embarrassed to be a supporter.

I really hope we pick up some kids; whom can flounder in the two's for 6 years,
Unless of course dimmer is forced to play one of them thru a plethora of injuries to senior listed
champions.

Go you good things !

New RFC Mantra - 8 is great but 9 is fine!!

Eight is great but nine is fine
The 2nds pee away contract time
Just ask Elton he's the man
2 year deal for his tan
0 games in a year
Members take it up the rear
Why stop there on the burst.
What's becoming of the firsts?
How's abouts Newman and ability
How's about Griggs and agility
Here comes Dimmas favourite sons
Here comes Balwyns next year guns.

so how did we do compared to sides below us. how about melborne a side that pulled our pants down
were very active, the way i read it their outs were
frawley, clarke, 23, 61, 79.
it leaves them with
nd 2, 3, 40, 41, 53, 59, plus they added lumumba, garlett, and frost. this compares to us.

nd 12, 31 , 49, 67, 85 with no new additions to alleviate needs.
i would not be surprised to see em pull our pants down again and possibly go past us. id be drooling over the prospect of picks 2 and 3 and a fit jesse hogan.

how about collingwood. they made the best out of a bad situation
outs were beams, lumumba.
it left em with
nd 5, 9, 28, 46, 64.  plus greenwood, varcoe, crisp.

thats just two clubs around us. some  people arent going to say we did okay surely. theres two clubs there who if they use the nd well will gain an inordinate amount compared to us.
but hey we are locked and loaded and dont need to improve our list they are cherry ripe.

will this change at the first hint of a winning streak. just asking because thats what happens around here. lots of chicken littles who lac the power of their convictions.

anyway  clearly we are locked and loaded and cherry freakin ripe so lets all thank the gods for our deliverance eh.

I'm pretty disappointed TBH.
Just needed to be more creative.
Are Dan Richo and the boys worth what we're paying them? I'm not sold.

Not very inspiring for next year really.

[DCrane]

Good post Andyy. There was some pretty good talent on offer this year but as always there was a lot of chaff too.
Agree with WP, very disappointed that we couldn't upgrade at least our second round pick. We needed another in the top 20 and when you look at the last trade it is actually possible to move on list cloggers, even if only for a small upgrade.
Look at Hawthorn who have embraced free agency, and look at the results.
2 years of free agency and what do we get, Shane Spudson, far can pathetic Richmond.
This 2 years of ball scratching in trade week better be leading to something big next year and I mean Paddy Dangerfield+1 big otherwise the recruiters and a few others have to go.
At least the club didn't throw players names around unneccesarily, I suppose I'll give them that, but under this system there are ways to upgrade without even doing that, but we have chosen not to go down that path either, this needs to change.
1/10

you have their records mapped out in front of you and you still have to ask that. cmon willy you know the answer already you knew the answer last yr and more likely yrs before that.
hartley, jackson, richardson their records speak for themselves.

ffs benny gale spoke about the advent of f/a and other things yrs before it happened and yet again  we get left behind when a major change to the way things are done happens.

it all starts with the list manager followed closely by the recruiters. our trouble is if they cant or wont see the problems then they cant very well do something about them.
the rfc cycle of mediocrity continues. yet the nuffies will hang their hats on making finals.

yes, I don't have a terrific amount of faith in our recruiters/list managers. I hope there will be change at the end of next year if we don't win a final, as they must shoulder some of the blame.

Mate, I don't think anyone is satisfied with two elimination losses. Not even the most supportive fans.

[Yeahright]

Where was plan B after Trengove?

Plan B was Trengove

[dwaino]

[eliminator]

Will reserve my judgement until after national draft. Only positive so far did not trade away a pick for a dud like last year

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Not a bad effort Ramos, reckon you can get this thread to 10 pages with the right amount of inciting
