This about sums it up for me. The club's inability to either develop talent from within or in 5 years since it was admitted to make any tangible changes to address this is a real black mark.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
He tweeted this evening with class. Good on him.
I don't think he has what it takes but time will tell I guess.

Given Daniher was a potential number one pick and McBean a second rounder I think it's a stretch to male the comparison. I'm aware that his school coach said something along those lines but they always do. I never saw McBean take a pack mark at junior level, admittedly all the footage was from the state carnival but in those games he appeared to be floating around as a loose checking defender. The weight and strength was always the issue, this is why I wasn't overly enthused about the selection in the first place. Leysy had a mancrush on his rump but I suspect this was lust playing tricks on his eyes. The shoulders even today look meek and unworthy of a true key position player - in general play the reality matched the appearance. Good luck to Liam, I hope everything works out and if a club does pick him up then they should book the entire back catalogue of Gunston's rise to fame.
And we have to put up with Elton for another year. Anyone see the footage of Cotchin absolutely giving it to Elton after a truly feeble contested effort against Sydney, actually clipped him one and verballed him in disgust. (And yes i know he was not on his own in that regards)zippadeee said:
His name was the best part of his game at AFL level.
Hopefully the first of many listcloggers to go.

A pity but he had his chances but didn't take them. Maybe another club and another coaching team will get the best out of him as obviously Richmond can't

Waddya doing here, Carts? You should be up and about with Lambchops shelving analgesic narcotics and lamenting in as yet undiscovered languages. (Ackshelly hallucinogenics might be better for the undiscovered language thing. No wait. Ice.)
You've fought your fight and lost. This is the poet's moment.

Yep. Why couldn't we give him 1 year or at least rookie?
Maybe it's been attitude problems in not beefing up enough and/or Dimma plainly doesn't like him.
He's definitely been Plapped by some supporters.
Bugger. He'll get picked up in one of the drafts.
Will he make it, not sure, but he'll get a chance.
Prediction - Hawthorn rookie.

if he makes or may not make it. So what, had plenty of chances.
We are so dear to our players, we want to hang onto them for another year, hope or anticipate they will become better. That's our problem for the past 20 years,be ruthless now and saviour the moment later. Opportunity to get better players.
Sure could be hit or miss, but hanging onto the C- players will never get you to the top.

What a shame. Based on his VFL performances, he certainly wasnt given enough senior chances.
That's what bothers me the most.
We recruit a promising youngster. He performs consistently in the reserves, and then gets delisted.
