Richmond supporters will always support the club, my question is what good is it to place the image of a group of youngsters the way we did it?

Will they? Why weren't they before then?

Because it will attract a certain demographic of fans.
I am not into it personally, but really cant see the harm.
Actually do see the benefit.

So we bag a campaign that led to a club record membership of over 30,000 members for the first time without any bandwagon help from on-field results and that other clubs tried to copy  .

Come up for air people  

hehehe well said

Nothing like making a negative out of a postive

We know what happens with sort of thing. The end of the season is a relief and the Club no longer has to weekly defend on-field results because there are no longer anymore matches.

By trade week we're more interested in who we're chasing or offloading and not what happened in R17. Each club will proclaim a successful trade period.

By Draft day we're more interested in which kids we'll get and each club shoves a club t-shirt on them for happy photos and claim their first pick was their first choice anyway. The club membership packages come out to ride the high.

By the PSD draft we think about getting some star uncontracted player but usually it becomes a non-event. The rookie draft follows and we pick up a kid with our final pick who hardly anyone has heard about from koo-wey-up-in-the-sticks in Country Vic.

By the new year the Aussies are 4-0 in the cricket so we're hanging our for footy again and photos of the newbies at training  and by February the previous year is ancient history.
