Agree Tigermonk about us playing injured players when we shouldn't. A clear sign of a club without depth on their list. We have always relied on 2-3 midfielders carrying the side. It works okay early on when everyone is fit and fresh but as the season goes along they tire and cop injuries because they are competing against sides with 12 or more midfielders rotating on them. We need to develop a list with depth. Sadly it takes a long time starting from scratch like we had to. We have to develop a new core first before we can build around them thanks to past stupidity.

The problem down at Richmond is they are a breeding ground for other clubs they love us l have heard it first hand
We had Midfielders on the list in Rodan his had a brilliant year another stuff up from Richmond gee his a 2 times Morrish medal winner in the TAC 2 years running you dont let them types go & keep the likes of Krakouer
Krakouer dont give a toss anymore because others are getting a go when injured before him in Tuck Johnson, Newman, Polo, Deledio & Tambling & others
but Richmond choose to stick with injured out of sort players instead of dropping them like Captain Wanker who kicks the wrong way & dont know how to talk to the players on field just kicks a goal runs back thinking his job is done
the funniest effing thing l heard from a player was Johnson does alot off the field at the club l laughed & walked away from him
well who gives a eff about off field stuff they are payed to play on the field & go out each week to get 4 pts nothing more not to look after & teach kids how to play thats the coaches job off the field
professional players dont care about kids who could take thier places & put them out of a job it dont work like that
dont ever think it does cause its every man for himself at Richmond it always has been
Richmond draft skinny weak kids who need years of work to become league footballers but other clubs play there kids from comming to the club first year
l seen so many years of going backwards because coaches say the kids aint ready well thats BS they play senior football for there clubs on bigger men & cop far more than the fairy running AFL football thats being put to us these days
Every other team drafts progress quicker than ours why ??? its because the coach willnot drop his name players afraid that they be upstaged by some raw talent that us Richmond supporters have known & watched for years & screamed about that should have been dropped but instead will play 60% players = 40% effort compared to 100% raw talent & 100% effort & holding raw talent back is not good because it produces bad energy amogst the playing group & then creates attitude problems & not carrying out demands from the coaches
Richmond never gets 100% cause they give 50% for services & cut the wrong peoples throats
makes alot of sence dont it
