Dan Richardson on SEN / Tigers 'paying the price' for recruit strategy

We are playing the kids and everyone wants everyone executed.  It is quite obvious we are having a bit of a tank and prune but everyone is losing their poo already lol

With respect you are talking out of your ass (again).

95% of people are stoked RFC is finally playing kids.  Some of us are skeptical as to why it taken so long and is it cause Dimmas mates are largely injured / retired rather than genuine attempts to strengthen the clubs long term interests.  The rose bush is already out of control and te neighbours are horrified.  Bit late to be reaching for the secateurs ?

The discussion at hand, is at DR comments and the first 50% of hardwicks time at Richmond sterling list management and motivations.

spot on Joseph - sorry hooter but wtf are you on about? Most are wrapt the kids are finally being played. The only ones the fans on here want executed are dimmer, his cronies and love children aka grigg, bellis & co

"We didn't think Richmond fans would accept an eight-year rebuild. We turned it around in four, which I think was a terrific achievement.

"We're paying a price in the sense that we knew that that mature-age talent would get us to a point but not take us to the next level, which was always going to be the hardest part.

"While it's been disappointing somewhat to not win a final, it's been a good achievement to play finals for three years in a row for the first time for 20 years for the club."



Bollocks

The Dogs turned it around in 1 season and were down and out the same time we were during the compromised drafts

They were fortunate. Fortune favours the brave!

Maybe the only man we've heard say the truth....

Can you show me some sort of source or proof ANY RFC members wanted to 'fast track' finals at the expense of proper list building for a flag ??

One of the strangest bloody things I've heard , and I know about weird things

Some may not have explicitly said it but you surely don't believe the majority of supporters would hang around if we were poo in 2013 and 2014 and only started making progress in 2015 at best.

90% of the littles on here would have had a permanent meltdown if that was the case

The clubs being going since 1885

I'm not convinced what saved Richmond was instead of playing youth that might of been an assit now and in the future we found it vital to instead give games to McGaune Jackson pettard king knights grigg Newman Orren Thomas Hampson Gordon

IMHO dan is full of shizen

I stick by my conviction that most people would be going berko if we went into a full rebuild and were getting pasted the last three years, we are dipping this year, lots of injuries, working out who the drastics are, and people are losing their poo

Cause losing to 9th place Carlton in a final was just wonderful?

How about the several people wanting to tank?

I reckon you lot would of got over it pretty quick with an Angus brayshaw on board

A rebuild doesn't take 10 years.  We actually started the hardwick era off well recruiting and playing kids and playing a good brand of football.  We were heading in the right direction but then took a completely wrong turn in 2012 2013.  The EF appearances were false dawns but the club couldn't see this and persisted with this approach.  The notion that they planned a quick rebuild from the start is Bulls hit.   They changed course 2 to 3 years and couldn't see the course they took wasn't sustainable.

The issue is they fell in love with the money ball players - Chaplin. Grigg. Houli. Morris types

Instead of looking at continual improvement.
