Blair Hartley

[Tass]

For a guy who is clearly not a natural media performer, that was outstanding tonight.

No nonsense, articulate, generous with his time and explanations, in particular those relating to the want-away departures.

A huge responsibility to straighten out this list and yet appears to be fully invested. Under the most trying of circumstances this week, he well and truly got the job done.

Geez, sometimes there is a moment when you find out who a person really is and you're bloody glad they're part of your team.

Massive respect, Blair Hartley.

I was just about to post a stand alone tribute to this guy. An absolute star and true professional. The best in the business. No question. That press conference on the club website franks his credentials as the greatest and we should be super appreciative that he’s committed to our great club. To Blair, We Salute You. Thank You

Well said. He performed his role under very difficult circumstances.

Exactly, under the circumstances which have come to light tonight, he's been outstanding

Yeah. And as an extension of that, a lot of others at Richmond working under emotional duress too eg Blair's assistants, the rest of the recruiting team, admin staff, coaches etc.

Our salary cap could just about fit Jack Nicholson, Elon Musk Taylor Swift, Donald trump and brother nick from Collingwood

Great post.
Yes he's really shown why he was promoted a while back & equally why Balmey has been gradually phased out.

 

[French Tiger]

Just about the most important at the club now behind the scenes.

Must do all we can to keep him at the club long term as we start this rebuild.

 

[Blackcats]

Hope he sticks around for the rebuild, the club is in very good hands with this guy as list boss.

I'll take Jack, the rest can *smile* off

 

[grumpytiger]

We are going to need an avenue of honour for all the statues. This bloke needs one too

Great post, spot on. I posted earlier on the trade thread that I thought Blairs effort was one of the greatest footy administrator performances ever, stellar, that was before I knew about Chris Toce's illness and passing, now it is just incredible. I'm in awe, he's a star, we're very lucky to have him.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

We have had some ordinary years at the trade table and over the draft period.
I think this would go down as the best

 

[Dev Tiger]

A very impressive effort from Blair to be so hard nosed and maximise our draft hand whilst dealing with Chris's illness and subsequent passing. A class act.

How many rookie spots we gonna have?
That's where the real game begins

 

[Aegean Tiger]

Amazing effort from Blair under the most trying of circumstances imaginable. He is highly regarded for very good reason. The RFC is extremely lucky to have him!

Certainly puts things into perspective for us all.

Absolute respect.

 

[13Cups]

Well he missed getting 2,3,4,57.8.9...... Dud delist.






In truth he gets an A+ from me

 

[DjJazzyPete]

Wow he did well .. its going take time but were on our way back !

I originally gave him an A- but with room to improve that depending on live trading of picks.
But given he must have been under a fairly emotional weight with Chris Toce’s sudden passing I’ll revise it to an A.
There must have been quite some stress around the club, knowing Chris’ state, along with thinking of his young family. The importance of trade period. Players exit meetings and all the rest of the it.
Quite a burden Blair was carrying. Good job Blair.
