Mate all I ask is some transparency to members and supporters not to be left in the dark and then all of sudden they need supporters help don't you think that is fair ?. Hasn't been handled right that's a common view to.
In context, what he said was the club wasn't going to delist all its old players and go full youth. He said they'd have a blend of experience and kids (so that is not all left for the kids to carry). He then said he can't wait for Lynch and Prestia to come back to take some pressure off the younger players.
We were promised everlasting or sustained success. Do you think that’s true? Why are we at the bottom of the tree again? Why did Hardwick leave? Why is our list rubbish as you’re implying ? Are you happy with all of this? Excuses cover negatives and condones incompetence . I’m glad you’re happy and this trust the club to get things right is a cop out bc we are trusting people to get things right for the club. A 40 mil blow out on a project and you’re making more excuses . We don’t have the quality people running the club anymore and that’s why we are where we are.
It’s behind development because they don’t have the money. They’re begging members to buy digital bricks.
They’re all excuses and unacceptable as the foundations were supposed to be laid for transition to newer replacements in off field staff . People are seemingly sneaking out by the fire exit door and nobody decent coming in through the front door. Doesn’t appear to be smooth transitions at all or a happy environment. Meehan still there tells us that the lunatics are left running the asylum. There is no accountability from the top anymore and if the club did a review now they would all be exposed. This is why they’re not doing one and they’re sneaking off to greener pastures as they know the place is crumbling and needs to built from the bottom again .
Come on, have a lie down and calm down.
DRioli, Baker, Bolton, Short, Vlastuin, Nankervis, Balta, Taranto, Hopper are all premiership players or well established AFL players and all in their 20s. We had nothing like that in 2010.
Leave the kid on and have a good look at him in another role
Promised everlasting and sustained success?
A lot of it is true, Sin, but look at the quality of those youngsters. When Hardwick took over he had nos 1 (Lids), 2 (Cotchin), 3 (Dusty) and 4 (Tambling), at his disposal. Rance and Jack were also top 20 picks, as was Vickery. In future years he was able to add guys like Vlastuin and Ellis (both first round picks) and trade in people Grigg (also a first round pick).
Correct. In 2010 Dimma inherited a list some said was worse the Fitzroy. In terms of senior experienced players Yze has much more to work with than Dimma ever had in his first year. But Dimma made us competitive right away and had certain expectations and non negotiables. He implemented a strong defensive game plan straight away and managed 6 wins with a percentage of 73%. 2 wins and the spoon is a disastrous start to Yzes coaching career as it's an indicator of the standards he's set right away.
Agree but I am giving Yze a leave pass right now because of the injury list which is the worst I have ever seen at Richmond.
As an aside Dimma was appointed a month or so after Benny was appointed president. He hadn’t been at the club a year.
In terms of senior players?
Why do I need to lie down ? Just as good people run good clubs , they can also run them down as empires often fail due to complacency it still doesn’t answer why we are run down in practically every area from the CEO down to the boot studder. lol
The redevelopment is a joke and the car park is only around an extra 20 million approximately, but half had already been budgeted originally. So we are still 30 million out.
