We Want You!
Are you tired of high expectations?
Are you over the relentless pursuit of premiership success?
Does the word "tough" make you cringe?
Do you consider great skill to be overrated?
Are you annoyed at people laughing at you because you've never heard the word "shepherd" before?
Wouldn't you love to get overpaid?
Don't you think you deserve a contract extension even though you've underperformed?
Would you like to be appreciated & mothered?
Isn't it time you looked after yourself?
Do you think you should be rewarded for just being you?
If you answered "YES" to any or all of these questions, we at the Richmond Football Club want you!
Join some of the leagues greats who have come from other clubs like Ben Marsh, simon Fletcher, Billy Nicholls, Trent Knobel, Kent Kingsley as well as other household names like, Adam Thompson, Mitch Farmer, Tom Hislop and the one who lived his childhood dream and kicked the winning goal after the siren Jordan McMahon. That could be you and if you're as lucky as Jordan the year after you live your childhood dream you might be the only player on the senior list who won't get a game but still get paid what you signed on from your plump contract.
So why play for a Hawthorn, Geelong, or Collingwood here in Melbourne and have to start your holidays in October when the weather in the Northern Hemisphere starts getting brisk and have to fight for a spot in a finals line up. Head to Richmond where every day is Groundhog Day.
The coach says the same plops.
The players do the same.
Selection is based on your contract $$$.
Press conferences are based on KPI's and not the scoreboard because at Richmond every day is Groundhog Day where it doesn't matter how you played, or whether you got your bum slapped by our skipper running through he banner meaning you are now a bona fide staple in r side regardless of performance and life will always be good regardless of whether you won or lost.
What also matters is that more members have signed up which means $$$ for us and and our backslapping, bumslapping, chest protruding, smooth talking, head scratching, bum scratching, hand clapping, crap mongering Corporate and Board members who only seem to make any knowledge of their whereabouts when it comes to the annual AGM and re-election.
So come and join the fun. Enter the place where malaise and failure is the norm and success is the abnormal and unconventional. Once you're here you'll wonder how made do without the RFC because we take something good and turn into something that has lost all levels of accomplishment.
If you come this season we'll even give you a signed poster of Alex Rance before he left for Freo but still in his Richmond gear or a poster of Trent Cotchin from Dreamtime 2012 when he could goal from a set shot as he did that night to put us in front to remind you that if you ever get like that that's as far as you'll go here as superstars, leaders and game changers for the good are not welcome here.
If you want to be a renegade like that join Hodgie and those misfits at Hawthorn. At Richmond we do things the Richmond way.
It's no way the highway, and remember its your responsibility to be irresponsible. None of this second or third effort crap. I only want to see second and third guessing, leaving things for someone else, making things difficult for your teammate whether by hand or foot and making sure if you want the footy you have to earn it so as to make our KPI's look good. At Richmond we don't believe in the scoreboard and we only use to check how long the quarter is going and how long it is till we can get back into our civvies and go home.
If Punt Rd is for you come on down. It's like winning Tattslotto every week, every year. $$$$$$
