Footy GM Dan Richardson was interviewed on 3aw just before by BT, Richo and Tony Shaw....
* A game of two halves. We spoke after the Essendon game about pressure and attack on the footy. We showed that in the first half but unfortunately weren't able to sustain it. Credit to North but disappointing for us to let that to happen.
* We went into kill mode in the 3rd quarter pushing Griffiths back. Tried to shutdown a couple of their players (Petterd had a lockdown role) but when you aren't winning contested ball it's pretty hard to stop.
* Comfortable with our recruiting model now. Didn't have any other choice during the GWS/GC drafts but to make our list competitive. We're now in a position where we need to take a step backwards to go forwards. Clearly we've gone backwards this year. We need to analyse our list and see which players will take us forward.
* Footy general manager spends time in the coaches' box. Dimma is a very good coach and very loyal to his players and they like playing for him. He was let down last night. Hard to do much from the coaches' box. When you aren't winning contested ball and North are playing like that, there's not much you can do.
* We can't look at list changes until the end of the season. Focus now is to try and get some respect back. More of the first-half play. Need our key players to step up a bit more. No doubt the realisation has come to look at our list.
* We're in a fortunate position that we have salary cap space to improve our list. We've worked hard on that.
* BT asked what do you say to supporters who question why you let players with speed like White and Nahas go? Dan Richardson replied we certainly let Nahas go and good luck to him at North. White left as a free agent - we wanted to keep him but he saw an opportunity at Port. We did offer him a contract. That's the nature of free agency.
* Cotch is not suffering any significant injury. He rolled his ankle last night and all players are sore this time of the year. Not playing at his peak but he's needs more support out there.
* After Dan left, BT asked Richo who we could go after such as Fyfe or Cameron. Richo thinks Fyfe. BT asked why a kid from country WA would come to Richmond and Richo said Fyfe still hasn't signed.
* Shaw said Richmond are mentally and physically weak. You would've known North were going to come out hard at the start of the 3rd quarter. The way to stop that is to come out hard yourself and kick a couple of goals to kill it off and break their spirit.

I like this.

and what are we going to do with that? Recruit more Grigg/Chaplin types? We should be throwing everything at Fyfe and BT you asked why a country kid from wa would want to play for Richmond? Well he did support Richmond ya tosser
-
Fyfe is a must get if the administration wants the supporters to renew their membership. There were years when we were poo but atleast we had Richo. We could go to the footy and at least we had someone to watch. The least they could do is pay to bring in Fyfe, get in a young kid like Christian Jacksch from GWS to play as a key position defender and a couple of early picks and hope can come back to the supporters.

Six or so weeks ago DAn you stood up in front a coterie group and said we were a better team this year
:banghead :banghead
And they wonder why people aren't listening
More spin, more dishonesty

Dan is a liar
Is offering someone a one year contract when opposition offer 3 is hardly wanting a player
He would of stayed for 2
Disgrace is Dan

They're making it up as they go along I reckon. Just protecting each others backs. Theyve wasted good money on rubbish footballers from other clubs and they think we're a bunch of fools and that we will accept it.

OK, Danno ..... we're four games out of the eight and all hope of a finals berth is gone.
Are we going to play the likes of Hellboy, McIntosh, Elton, Beano, Biscuits, O'Hanlon and Flash and make an assessment of them in the big league?
Are we gonna send the players that need ops into hospital early so that they get a full pre-season?
Are we gonna persist with Axel, Petterd, Newy and Thomas?
How do we plan to find out who is capable of taking the team forward?
Oh, and while you're at it, it would be good to find a couple of on-field leaders to replace Chappy, Lids and Grimesy. Leaders stand up when the chips are down.

He wants to concentrate on getting respect back.
Lmao.
-
It's a cop out to say we had no other option during the GC/GWS drafts for 2 reasons.
1) Last 2 years haven't been a GWS/GC draft unless you count 2 players missing from each draft as heavily compromised (at the rookie draft end)
2) No other club did what we did.

I have heard that somewhere before..
This is revised hindsight BS Dan.
We heard talk of improved depth pre season. We heard talk of pushing into the top 4 pre season.
We heard of 3-0-75.
We heard Hardwick say we were a better team this year..
NOWHERE when I was forking out my hard earned did I hear we had to go backwards.
Dan you can go and get stuffed!
-
I'd hold off till the end of next year and throw maximum figures at Patrick Dangerfield.
-
Salary cap room? I thought when Dusty was potentially walking last year we didn't have any room. Do we or don't we?
If we do have room, why didn't we get Mummy instead of Hampson, GWS got better Mummy for a lesser pick but more salary? Our boom recruit is in the seconds!
Sick of us getting second raters because Hartley has his "list" of every player in the comp and what they're worth and we won't pay more. Well sometimes in any business you need to pay a bit overs to entice the right people and recruiting footballers is no different.
-
Don't care how "canny" he allegedly was in the Martin negotiations, if he's the halfwit responsible for some our other contract extensions then pee him off ASAP before he does any more damage.
-
O start to wonder how much this guy's negotiations have upset the apple cart.
There were a lot of murmurs from players when Cameron left.

Perhaps he should have been more hands on with some other contracts rather just worrying about dealing with Dusty.
Think you'll find he leaves a lot of the deals to good old Blair

I do have to laugh how anyone thinks fyfe can help this fragile club
Boys the club is stuffed and unless you become ruthless nothing can help us. Look at the coaching staff, look at vickers dad, look at the fact that FJ still holds a job, look at dimmas and she wards contract extensions. These are some of the reasons why we are a souless organisation. Fyfe won't help this believe me.
We are the village people of the afl. Good in the 60's now are good only deflecting or in our coaches words "the bedroom" or whatever spin come out of his mouth.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Look at Melbourne under Roos, look at pies cats hawks. They turn 4th rounders into stars. We will never achieve that if you reward mediocrity and don't set the bar high. Claw can post his 4 page essays all he likes about who we should recruit but it won't matter, as this is the RFC where culture and development by our coaches are the prime reasons for failure
We don't need no Peggy Sue with her legal American rubbish we need an Eddie who players play for or they will face him in the rooms. Strong ruthless administration from the top, not this pansy new age rubbish.
Don't kid yourselves that appointment sucks as does those hacks who occupy seats next to our coach

Cashed-up Tigers look to lure opposition players
Nick Bowen

RICHMOND is cashed up and will have "a big focus" on luring an opposition star to Punt Road over the coming months, Tigers football manager Dan Richardson says.
Richardson told SEN radio on Monday that Richmond had the salary cap room to be a major factor in this year's player exchange period.
Richardson was reluctant to name players the Tigers were interested in or the amount of free money they had to throw at them.
But the former player manager said that when he joined Richmond early last year part of his job description was to put the Tigers in a position where they could target opposition stars.
"Certainly a big responsibility of mine since coming to the club has been to ensure that we've got the salary cap space to be able to got to the free agency market, or go to the market (in general), and hopefully attract a player," Richardson said.
"I won't go into figures, but the bottom line is we've got room to recruit and we'll be active in that regard, whether it will be this year or whether it will be the end of next year, (which) was probably more the timing that we were planning for.
"You want [opposition players] to be able to choose Richmond as a club of destination, if in fact they actually want to leave where they're currently at.
"But certainly over the next few months that will be a big focus. Our list management strategy on the whole will be a real focus of myself and Blair Hartley, our list manager."
The biggest names left in this year's free agency market are Melbourne defender James Frawley and Fremantle midfielder David Mundy, with Carlton midfielder Bryce Gibbs understood to be close to re-signing with the Blues.
Of course, the Tigers could also try to trade for out-of-contract players such as Dockers star Nat Fyfe, Greater Western Sydney youngsters Jono O'Rourke, Kristian Jaksch and Lachie Plowman, or West Coast midfielder Andrew Gaff.
If they ultimately decide to hold off until next year, the Tigers will be able to target 2015 free agents such as Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield, St Kilda's Jack Steven, Geelong's Tom Hawkins and West Coast's Scott Selwood.
Richardson said the Tigers' list management strategy would not change dramatically on the back of their disappointing 3-8 start to 2014.
"There's been a strong strategy in place," he said.
"We've certainly taken a step backwards so far this year, there's no denying that, but it certainly doesn't mean the strategy we've had in place gets thrown out the window."
Richardson also suggested some Richmond players would be playing for their futures over the rest of the season.
"We need to keep one eye on the future no doubt, and find out about some of the players on our list," he said.
"Whether they're young players or whether they're even more experienced players, (we need to) find out whether they really want to be part of something successful at Richmond going forward.
"We'll find out a lot about the group over the coming months."

so are we actually cashed up? Bc I distinctly recall hearing that we were maxed out or close to it last year.
Or did the club see another opportunity to exploit the silly gullible tiger fans ie the extra cap room provided by the AFL and spin it into a positive "we are cashed up" slogan to buy more hope for the dumbarse supporters who will latch onto any hope no matter how shallow.
The cynic (and realist) in me suggests the latter
-
Not sure what Dan's on about re the salary cap to be honest
Coming out of contract end of next year is Cotchin, who despite being offered 5 years only signed for 2 and Marton who's been our best player this season
So what is Dan suggesting? That we are going to throw huge dollars at F/agents and offer peanuts to our own?
Good O

The club is now desperate.
For all the spin now that the season is officially over the sugar coated truth comes out.
Well done Dan and RFC.
Profit is down, next years profit will be down, membership revenue will decrease. Time for marketing to do their job and entice the fans to dig deep again. It's their only hope.
FTF. Fraudulent Tiger Farce.

I haven't actually heard from the club at all in the past few years that we are maxed out....it's always been the media saying we are.....

Lol, what a lot of rot :lol
Yes BJ everything is bright and rosy at Punt Rd.
63 point turnarounds in second halves are par for the course and blips in a 32 year cycle of failure. :help
