:lol inb4 we beat the Dawks again. You've gone a week too early Ramps. Next week will be ugly. :shh
-
IF we win this game and it's a big IF, the only apologists should be the RFC players for dishing up the crap they have dished up since last years finals loss to the Blues!!!!

to qualify as an apologist all you have to do is disagree with a small number of the countless rants from the whiney old moles.

Its all mental Ramps. In Edwards, Newman and Grigg's case its effort and skill. The rest its all mental and if your coaches cant change that then they are not doing a job and are too soft in delivering the messager.
The current coaching message is try your best and if you have a bad day all good you will still keep your spot because we need you to finish somewhere around 8th spot to keep the supporters happy.
We still havent eroded the mental scars of years gone by and that was for all to see in last years elim final.
Hawks will do us over today. Nothing can be more certain than that.

And it's getting rather excruciating to read.

HELLO

The cycle of Skata. :banghead :banghead :banghead
Tigeritis is alive and well.
Mediocrity for everyone to see.
B.J, Al, and all apologists for mediocrity, this is the rubbish you think doesn't exist or you fail to acknowledge. Wonder what the excuses will be this week? Umpires, injuries, rubbish!!!
We will NEVER be anything until they fix culture full stop.
We are on the merry-go-round that is the Richmond footy club.
Too many that don't work hard enough and poo themselves too often and they think they are good enough when they've achieved nothing.
This club is a disgrace and Dimma is a phony and a liar.
FIX CULTURE FIRST!!!
-
So who should we sack first?
the coach
the recruiters or
the fitness people or do we
SACK EM ALL AT ONCE!

Some of the supporters should go first.

I was in on the act early as well Jacko. Dont forget that. I actually got kicked of the other site coz they couldnt handle my criticisms all those years ago about the club. Truth hurts Jacko and some supporters dont like to see the truth that is infront of them. We are on the road to nowhere. The rebuild has come up well short and we have to start again.

What you dont understand HRT is that we are not peddling anything. We just call it how we see it. Its not an agenda. We are simply pointing to the ongoing mismanagement and mistakes that occur at the football club. We have been on the same roundabout for 34 years and no one at that club knows how to get them to have success. The recruiting, the fitness and the coaching regimes all have to be looked at. Thats just the reality.

Call as I see it
Will be there next week
I wonder if many internet Nuffers on here front next week ?

For a moment we were hoping there would be a mass invasion by supporters and the game would be called off

G you have just hit on the Plan B for next week.
The club and players won't do it so it is up to us supporters.

Actually chuck you me and few others should offer to play.reckon we might show a bit more than what they are currently.As a mate of mine mentioned Richmond central in D Amos would have put up a better display

Is he sick?
-
Yeah real ordinary blokes cause we front up week after week and open our wallets year after year. Real ordinary
Facts are we are critical of the same old issues year after year, but unlike some I am yet to call for hardwick head. Think we are 12 months short of that.
I fear this is heading into a Spud type organisation and it's going to be hard to dig ourselves out of it
Few guns, few B graders. Rest D
We have royally screwed this lost up with monkey ball
Losing Maric and having to resort to Angus graham was the clubs fault, No one else's fault
Hearing his interview today suggested he was run into the ground
-
Hopefully Francis Jacksons days are numbered..
Is he sick?
His only illness is blindness having not found us any real talent from pick 20
He shouldn't been sacked with Wallett

I think his days are numbered. Didn't we bring in that guy from Geelong that then left Carlton?

Football dept. needs a Geelong 2006-type review from top to bottom. Not surprised by the final margin today but what has been dished up this year is unacceptable and inexcusable from what is meant to be a professional football team. Add to that kicking 3 goals to half-time, 4 to 3/4 time and 7 all up will turn people, sponsors and tv execs off us in a hurry. We've regressed back to the worst days on-field over the past three decades.
Fitness staff are first off the rank for mine. We just don't look fit and look underdone despite claims by the the fitness coach last year that we were ramping up his program to 100% this preseason from 80% last preseason. Add to that questions need to be asked of whoever makes medical/injury assessments. Ivan might have been partly to blame but even so leaving a known injury to the start of this season to be operated on is the height of stupidity.
VFL coach, assistant and development coaches are next. New voices and new ideas are needed especially forward of centre. New coaches (I'm not talking about Dimma) who demand the players' respect and are listened to. The right strong culture of what is and isn't tolerated should exist across both VFL and AFL levels.
Recruiting philosophy regarding experienced rookies has clearly not worked. The Club can't complain about injuries when they recruited "ready-made" rookies for the case when injuries strike. I'm not talking about today against a top side but it didn't work against the Bulldogs either which are the games these experienced rookies were meant to cover for until we get a better players back. So as WP said that's the responsibility of Blair Hartley.
Finally, the playing list badly needs a fresh injection of new/young elite end talent starting with Lennon and, if we can somehow get him off the rookie list, Miles. At least one positive being near the bottom is an early first pick (unless we start winning meaningless games towards the end of the year again ::) ). Hopefully we can find a quality free agent as well to bring into the team next year. I'd expect Newy, Kingy, Foley, Big O to retire. If Titch as a free agent wants to leave then let him and hopefully this time we'll get a compo pick unlike we did for Matty White ::). The likes of Batch, Dea, Helbig, O'Hanlon, Az.Edwards traded/delisted along with rookies Darrou, Banfield, Williams. I can think of more but that's a start.

Good post mt, agree 100%
-
All the people who have been naming Darrou in their delistings can't possibly have watched him play for more than 5 minutes.

Great post M. T.
But don't you seriously think there is a culture issue.
We've all seen this cycle before, how can culture not be an issue at Richmond.

First bloke I'd get rid of os Blair Hartley, he is ultimately responsible for list management
He is the one who recommends which type of player we should draft.
He is the one who recommends who we should target in Free agency
He is the one who ranks and rates those on our list and recommends who we should keep
As I said he'd be the first one I'd be showing the door
He's the one who was laughing at Hawthorn when he sold them a "washed up" Burgoyne. :lol
-
All the people who have been naming Darrou in their delistings can't possibly have watched him play for more than 5 minutes.
Neither has Dimma probably, hence he'll be delisted without a game.

Sad but probably true. No doubt we'll rookie another reject from a bottom 4 club in his place for "experienced depth in an important area" but who'll be immediately upgraded and become a first team regular after an "impressive" performance in the hit and giggle pre-season. Because an "experienced" player who played 20-odd games for Melbourne or Brisbane over 4 years is a much safer bet than some kid who gets named in the bests nearly every week in the VFL despite playing in a backline that sees the ball coming in every 90 seconds and is regularly on a hiding to nothing.

Knew Blair when he was editing videos at Essendon back 12-15 years ago
Amazing he has got this far

You cant sack Hartley he is a list management messiah who gave us Grigg and Houli and co. lol. Have to say I agree with you, Hartley has failed to live up to expectations. Anyone can go and get rejects from other clubs, how about him and the recruiting team actually go earn there money by bringing in some A graders instead of the hacks they are bringing in to justify their positions of employment.
