recruiting wrong type players for a start.

What about the fitness team and strength & conditioning coach....are they any good?

[Smokey]

Maybe they are just pussies. All of them.

They are all pussies.

Hardwick must certainly have thought that after the Adelaide game.

Brian Taylor just on 3aw now said the $20m new facility is great but then bagged the fact that you have to fight over a "porthole" in the social club on the 3rd floor to look out onto the ground. Whoever designed it should have put a ceiling to floor window for people to look out of and admire the view. Caro thought it strange as well especially if a eventual Richmond reserves side plays games at Punt Rd.

Definitely agree with this, for $20mil we should have been able to make it with a glass facade, even by still keeping it yellow & black glass

A RFC reserves side is two years off at the earliest.

Plenty of time to make some modifications so the upper class supporters can have a good view.

Yeah that's pretty dumb the prothole windows, very dissapointing. If you cant see the hallowed turf it really could be anywhere

As a long time upper class supporter, I say, how very dare you dictate what modifications, as you say, are needed for the likes of a character of my ilk.

Now go and tend to my horses you unwashed commoner heathen.

I don't know Al.  I reckon that now we are both Social Club members the standard of the place has just lifted immensely.  And we both look the part hey!

or so old and grey that the money doesn't matter because you can't take it with you.

Every where i go the standard seems to rise. I have this innate ability to make those around me seem better than they are.

Probably not too far off the mark.

You can see the ground as there is a balcony, its just not very big.

Any news from tonight when it will be complete. Opening date has been put back from late last year and we are just one week from the start of the footy season.

No news, but there isn't much construction going on inside. Looks pretty much ready to go, perhaps a few admin offices that need finishing but that's it. Someone at my table mentioned that Brendan Gale said to him not to touch any black walls, so shows how recent some of it has been.

The big foyer/match prep room (where everyone gathered for drinks at the start of the night), player's gym & social club all look finished to me.
