Is Richmond OK?

The way they're carrying on
We need to play Collingwood for 22 straight weeks for the AFL to get out of this shiit.
How the fick haven't they got any money??
You need to remember that the politicians make their own rules so they will never lose out. The motely crew we have in UK are probably the most devious of all politicians who mantra is ' don't do as I do, do as I say'
Not silliest thing I’ve heard , wildcard pre finals may be another money grabber, will also favour us getting some choice MCG fixtures too and plenty of em as the afl milk us to swell the coffers
They will get us to play more games at the G, to get the revenue coming back in.
We are i heard only one of 4 clubs in a decent strong position.
Is this correct?
Tigers
Pies
Hwaks
West Coast
(Essendon in that list too ? )
The rest are in some shape or form going to be helped by the above big 4 (5) and in serious trouble ?
The AFL will want complete control of those clubs and will have to pay back loans borrowed to them?
Im glad the club will try and not bend to everyone the AFL wants and remain solvent without handouts,
All us supporters, members should feel proud of where we were , come from and are now.

Balmey, ever the politician...
Richmond football boss Neil Balme cautions AFL over job cuts

Richmond football boss Neil Balme has called for caution as massive cuts loom across the AFL.
The league is expected to cut millions from the soft cap in the wake of the league’s financial crisis.
With some part-time development coaches already out at clubs around the competition, assistant coaches and other football staff could be out of a job.
But while he acknowledges the financial headache, Balme says the AFL is walking a fine line enforcing cuts to football operations.
“Reducing the spend in footy seems to be a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the fact that all of a sudden we’ve got a different financial position,” he told 7NEWS.
“I think we understand that but we’ve got to be really careful of making those decisions.”
The increasing number of staff members on benches and sitting alongside coaches has turned heads over the years.
Balme, however, believes that sight is proof clubs are frugal more than wasteful.
“The product we provide for the people that go and watch our blokes play is a very good product,” he said.
“I’ve been in footy for a long time and footy clubs, they don’t waste any money at all.”
“When we see the end of the grand final, we see how well the Richmond boys played, do you reckon anyone was saying then ‘I think they’ve got too many coaches’? I don’t think.
Richmond, premiers in two of the last three years, are one of a handful of clubs that won’t require immediate assistance from the AFL.
Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett told 7NEWS his club is determined to remain independent - partly to strengthen their case when the Hawks want to hold the AFL to account.
But while the Tigers will also go it alone, Balme heaped praise on the work chief executive Gillon McLachlan and the AFL have done to save the 18 clubs.
“The really positive thing for all of us who love footy is that the AFL are working their butts off to put ourselves in a position where the sooner the better we can get back to playing,” Balme said.
“It’s a real challenge, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way they’re doing it.”

YEP TIGERS TURNOVED 91 MILLION LAST YEAR SOME 16 MILLION AHEAD OF SECOND,WE CAN LOOSE SUBSTANTIAL TURNOVER AND STILL BE IN A BEST 3 POSITION AGAINST EVERYONE ,WORST CASE SENARIO.
From memory Collingwood,Carlton,essendon, Adelaide,hawks,west coast were all 71-76 ,that's the next best but all a long way behind us.
Crikey if they lowerthe soft cap , we ll end up with greater cash reserves than the afl , no wonder we didn’t want their noses in our books
