Is because of the money. Stikilda will offer more too. They aren't tightarses

Over all, I'm a bit sick and tired of posters here calling out for heads to roll, getting the masses ready, pitchfork and torch at the ready, when the trade period hasn't even started.

We get it every year, year in and year out

Yeah you'd think with the awesome list management, brilliant coaching and all the finals success we're having now it would finally stop......

Not only stop but you would think a positive vibe would be building

What we really need at Richmond is

1. Somebody to point out that  ___________  is a crap player  (Insert  Grig,Chaplin, Astbury, Griffiths, etc etc etc as you want)
2. Somebody to tell us like it is and state that our __________ is the worst in the league  (Insert culture, record, finals aperrance, playing list etc etc etc as you want)
3. Somebody who really knows the game and is willing to state that our ___________ should be sacked (Insert  Coach, Recriuting staff, List managers,  President, etc etc etc as you want)
4. Somebody who tell anybody that is supportive of a player, the team or the club in general that they are ______________.   (Insert Delusional, an Apologist, living in fairy land, etc, etc, etc as you want)

We all know where that Somebody would take us and what attitude he/she would install in the place. It just a matter of finding that person. I wonder where we could ?????

Why did we miss out on Treloar and always mysteriously miss these big fish.  Seems like something is missing from the picture right? Well, It's quite possibly because RICHMOND DO NOT OFFER WHAT OTHER CLUBS OFFER in terms of player payments for new talent.

Two sources which seem to correlate.

1) First, a guy with work (who is mad Richmond) has a son on another Melbourne based clubs list. The player manager and the family are obviously on good terms. This player manger has said a number of times that Richmond are a nightmare to deal with in order to facilitate player movements the reason being is always money offered for new talent.

We apparently nearly ALWAYS offer unders and new talent. The players considering a new club therefore nearly always have us as there least favourable option because we don't budge.

2) Secondly, I understand from separate means of information that we apparently offered 100k less per annum for Treloar than Collingwood.

Make of that what you will, but for mine if true it explains a lot.

Perhaps the club doesn't have much of a war chest. Maybe we are paying OVERS for many of our existing players.

Very concerning! I wonder what the hell is going on down there.....

sounds like a club that hasn't played finals in years and has canyon size gaps on their TPP , whats so hard to believe about , how many votes did the superstars on collingwoods list collate bownlow night

I know we haven't offered Treloar and last year Greenwood as much as Collingwood has for both. We are really strong on our pay structure and don't deviate from it, problem is to bring in big talent you have to pay overs and we simply are unwilling to do that. People may argue that carlisle at 700k a year is overs, but that's what it takes to prize away one of the best young KP talents in the country just entering their prime.
