Be fair Ramps, that just plainly is not the reason.

Not enough pictures for him full stop!

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but how many novels have been done since 17

I gave a spare ticket away to someone 4 the GF and they want to buy me a novel. They suggested one by Rhett. Anyone know of or who has read any of them?

I don't have it but Rhett's most recent one was "Richmond F. C. 2019: The Tigers - a Proud History of a Great Club".

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Have messaged Conrad and he said if the demand was strong enough he may order more copies of the original from 2017. He suspects he may have to given the inquiries.

I'm guessing I'm in the minority who forget to order it given the euphoria that was around 2 years ago

If anyone is interested message him on facebook messenger as he replied straight away to me.

Sounds like a great guy

It mostly likely will be when it's released

Just on the store,  was there yesterday. They actually don't have much premiership merch in store. Plenty of T-shirts, hoodies but nil Jumpers etc.

They told me that most of the stuff is only on line  at the moment... strange to say the least.

What I want is only available on line. And after what happened in 2017 I refuse to order online. What I want is being sold by some one else, so they get my order not the club

A great excerpt from the book about the comeback Prelim Final win over Geelong  :clapping :thumbsup.

-------

The half-time speech is always the briefest of any match. The pre-game speech is prepared well in advance, with a week-long window to design a video or plan a theme or bring in a prop. The post-game speech can be lengthy, too, given the totality and completeness of a win or a loss; but at half-time, everything is still in play, in flux, yet to be determined. And time is short. In this instance, the speech is not even two minutes long. Hardwick needs just 117 seconds to state the plan, to make them believe in the plan, and to believe in themselves. He starts slowly, and with nuts and bolts.

“Defensively, we’ve gotta press up. I don’t want us fanning back. Make them come through us. Next half we’re all coming up. We’re all in their faces. Think about what it looks like…and feels like.”

He talks next about offence. “Where do we want our attack coming from? The mids and the backs or the mids and the forwards? Yeah, the mids and the backs. So what are our expectations of the forwards? Yeah, get forward.”

Having settled on the strategy, he comes to inspiration.

“We’re in the Bottleneck. We’ve got a half. We get an opportunity,” he says. “We can sit there and do nothing, or we can go down the Richmond way! Let’s get back to what we know! Let’s get back to who we are! Understand every single one of us is on them, on them, on them! We go down by a hundred, or we win!”

Eight seconds. That’s how long it takes for the game to turn, for the balance to tip. The ball is bounced in the middle, it falls to the perennially bloodied Joel Selwood, who handballs wide to the running ruckman Rhys Stanley, but Cotchin—like a heat-seeking missile—has been stalking Stanley since before the handball was even released. The ballistic captain collides with his target, spins him and dumps him and wins the free kick, but the ball has already bobbled to Josh Caddy, who feeds a handball forward to Prestia, whose nimble feet scurry and purr as he squares up his body and delivers a long, low and luscious drop punt to Lynch, who marks with outstretched arms, then kicks his third. The comeback has begun, filled with great Richmond way moments.

The wife ordered a heap of premiership stuff for my birthday, on line through the club website, and it has all arrived within a fortnight. And we live NSW

So no problems this year based off a sample size of 1
