Snippets:

* Jack Dyer Stand may have to go to upgrade/expand our facilities at Punt Rd. Benny said "It's one of the options".

* Despite Dusty's re-signing, we still have the capacity to get involved in free agency if a player that fits our needs becomes available and wants to come to Richmond. Benny wouldn't comment about Tom Lynch when asked specifically by Andy Maher if we were interested. Benny just said Lynch is a contracted player and that sort of thing is a long way off (end of the season) and that 17 other clubs would want him.

*Expects to go back-to-back this year and would regard anything less as a complete failure.


Yes! Benny! #standards :clapping :clapping

Unfortunately it's the only way to improve the facilities.

Progress needs to happen, we cant be left behind. We need to create space and if the JDS has to go then it has to go. We need to
keep Punt Rd relevant. We need to upgrade it again.

I didn't think it was either. The ground has obvious benefits as a VFL/AFLW/AFLX venue down the track but needs a Junction Oval like upgrade

Has an official RIP to the Benny Fail moniker been given?

Honestly AFLW you have to be stuffing kidding me
