Bowden retires [merged]

[mightytiges]

I would say the round 20 farewell game has been in the planning for a while. At least from the Club's viewpoint.

However, the Tigers are keen to continue a relationship with the 264-game player, who was originally recruited from the Northern Territory and went on to claim All-Australian jumpers in 2005 and '06.

Another former (well soon to be) RFC player as an assistant coach?

and u know nothing about spelling,which is hilarious considering you use it to put posters down..so u don't feel so bad about not making it in at the top level.

Joel is going to turn his back on the club & will tell why he was banished from the senior side.
While players like Edwards, Jon, McMahon get games before him when they cant even get best on ground at Coburg the future of Richmond please. can tell you all,  none of these players will be close to 10 year players or be half the player Bowden was between them all together
14 years & treated like poo    no wonder supporters & family are angry. Even some of the largest football personalities cant understand 
why dont Richmond release a statement to the media. Cause its too embarrassing & petty for the club

Totally agree with you Monk.
Clubs are queuing up top get his services next year."" in some shape or form""
Behind the scenes , there is a lot of unhappy people.

my wife as you know goes for the Skunks but Joel is her favorite player & she is steaming.
Other clubs are looking at him & l would laugh if he was picked up & put in a super season & played finals.
If another club was looking for a player to fill a void in thier side Bowden would be looked at.
Collingwood could be that club in the running.

Now Jackstar here is the crunch

Bowden in a few weeks has got 2 x BOG for Coburg yet they play duds before him like McMuffin, Edwards, JON, & a few others.
Bring back players from injury who dont deserve to be in the team before Bowden who all footy media say is in our top 22
we will let Bowden go & he will get picked up by another club if he wants to go on playing

Richmond draft players like Kingsley, Knobel, Graham, l cant think of anymore as l want to forget them,  but Brown who hardly gives the club anything over the last 4 seasons is getting a better go which l find disrespectful

[Infamy]

Why include Edwards in that list? He's been fantastic the last 3 weeks and is only a kid in his 3rd year
Had pretty decent first two years also

[Tigermonk]

His under developed, when he tackles a player, then that player is still running with Edwards hanging on like a jockey 
he needs a few good feeds 

[Infamy]

That may have something to do with the fact he's a KID you idiot
Doesn't seem to worry Nahas, and he's still a year older than Edwards

[Tigermonk]

Nahas was developed under Gary Ayres who gets whats required from young players & pushes them hard.
what about Brisbane Daniel Rich ??  his a 1st year player

that is whats disgraceful about our club.

None of those names you have mentioned will be the future for the RFC so why should they get a gig before Bowden.

Brown has done SFA at Coburg and there is no reason why he should get picked before Bowden.

FFS give the guy some respect. RFC are a disgrace the way they have handled this. Bowden is a stuff i n professional and i dont know him from a bar of soup but you may be hard pressed to find a nicer guy in the AFL.

we r stuffed.

What makes Rawlings even look more stupid is that he said McMuffin was close to being our best player against Melbourne   
can tell ya Daniel if Rawlings gets the coaching job we are doomed. Thats why some of the coaching candidates walked away from coaching us we are doomed under the current admin

i have never liked Rawlings as an assistant coach and i certainly dont like him as coach now.

he is a puppet who has absolutely no idea. We drew against a hack like North and barely beat a tanking dees. ENOUGH SAID!!!

okay so lets comment on Cuz and Richo but not Bowden shall we. I hope im wrong but i think he will be our coach.

He is a glorified version of Wallet with his useless wins against the bottom teams of the comp. and if he thinks Mclovin is in our best 22 then he too is delusional.

[Tigermonk]

Cuz l would give a 2 year contract as his form warrents it & should be made captain as Chris has no idea
Richo forget about him,  His given great service but that early season hammy injury was serious after he was misadvised by medical staff.
to go through rehab & then after 3 months do damage in the warm up spells the end for him as his injury prone.
any injury to him if he goes on next year would be long recovery & only lowers moral around the club.
would be better giving Bowden a 1 year contract on form which be more value  as where you going to play Richo anyway ??? cause he cant kick under preasure  he has big stage anxiety  which he loses more games & effects team moral of all the hard workers that get it down there.

theyve got a winner like Hardwick wanting the job and the clubs stuffen around with candidates like Jade lol. With all due respect to the club, the process would be a nonsense if Hardwick isnt the result. As for Bowden, Bowden should be playing senior football. Im not a Bowden fan, but fair is fair and what is happening to Bowden isnt right. You cant have blokes like McMahon and King in and Bowden out. Say no to Jade Rawlings.
