Is it too late to bring back hiscock.

Benny Fail and Peggy O'No are out of their depths and people and the media that defend them have little idea.  Without the supporters reaching into their pockets this board has done nothing.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

I just googled it
Nah no mention in the media WP
Was told there ain't much change out of $2m

In the last 3 weeks its been reported in the Age twice

The australian once

And good old Dr Hiscock in his sook piece last week in the HUN said it

The number ive heard is less


And yet Collingwood will make plenty this year despite a 3rd consecutive finish outside the top 8. I guess that's the equivalent of rocket science

Firstly i never said it was acceptable all i said it was easy explained

Now onto the pies. Would think thats pretty obvious as well

Larger sponsorship deals than us (refer thread from weeks ago that had many up in arms)

Greater revenues from coteries

Better revenue deal with the MCG than we have.

More outside revenue streams than us read more pokie revenue

So you are roght it's not rocket science

So, whose accountable for finding alternative revenue?
If we assume that supporters are largely accountable for membership revenue - what impact does anyone at Richmond have for everything else?
At its most basic level, to have a worse deal than Collingwood on the stadium deal is ridiculous - our attendances are at least on a par with theirs over the last 4 years.
Again, it begs the question - what is their long term vision in this area and what exactly are they accountable to deliver to the members.
And finally, what is worse, a current  board that has no idea what it is doing and is both unaccountable and complacent or a potential board that has no idea what it's doing but actually gives a poo?

What I'd like to know is, how can replacing O'neal, Gale and Hardwick put us in any worse a position?

Anyone??

Seems they've got the majority believing otherwise.

Oh no Ox, we can't have that.  We'd have chaos, with people rioting and looting and burning down punt road.  We need stability.

We sound like a very fragile organisation.
Regardless of our year on field, we had over 70,000 members. That will go down in 2017 as some people have had enough of the clubs incompetence.
Why do we except a board that cannot keep up with the Coolingwoods of this world?? It's not that we are just a little off the pace, it's seems miles off.

So with our side failing this year combined with us losing money,  why isn't their more change at the club?
We sign the same players, sign the same coach and the board basically stays the same.

Madness!!
