And that means that the Tigers should ensure that when we play against Hawthorn or any other possible winning game...'we play all the kids' and I mean all of them...and that players like Richardson, Brown, Tivendale and Johnson get rested. Put all the kids in...Gilmour, Raines, Tuck, Jackson...put them all in. Thats what i call sanity why...because we blood the kids, and get the priority pick.
Sanity 2= also means offloading Richardson- not to just anyone, but specifically to Brisbane, Brisbane will get the chance for a 5th flag if they win it this year, Richo will get a shot at a premiership medallion and hopefully we'll get someone like Brennan and a draft pick.
Sanity 3= Delisting atleast 8 duds
Sanity 4= Picking up atleast 8 Kids in the draft with atleast 3 of them in the top 20 picks
Sanity 5= Selecting either Wallace or O'Donnell as coach if we go outside those 2 then we have stuffed up. Please no more nuff nuffs. And please no Mark Harvey at Richmond. I want a coach who can put 2 sentences together.

No way, Richo has been fantastic this year and deserves to be a life long tiger hopefully playing out the rest of his career in a successfull Richmond side.
Richo hasn't been fantastic - Richo has been pretty good. But I'd still like to see him perform on a consistent basis.
You can't trade him now - get bugger all for him.

When Richo has had delivery into the forward line he has been great, and considering the form of the rest of the team he has been one of our few shining lights (this coming from a well noted Richo bagger)
Forwards like Richo don't just pop up, who would we replace him with if we were to trade him.. Dumbschitz Schultz?

Ask yourself why the Lions want Richo? Now thats why we have to keep him. With a new Coach you should see a new Richo. In the end have a look at what Collingwood got for Michael. A couple of players but nothing special, expect the same for Richo if we trade him.

That wouldn't be sanity it would be insance, Richo will only finish behind Brown in the B&F, with his best seaon in 3-4 years...if not for such alow inside 50 , he'd have plenty more goals if your looking for root cause then keep looking.....Youngsters that have yet to establish themselves as elite reserve players which means more than 5 kicks are simply NOT ready
and I dont like O'donnel would be a poor choice in my mind

He still is , and always will be the same spoilt , petulant , primma donna who has expected everything put to him on a silver platter all his life , the day i see him give a genuine second effort and not just a token chase out of the backline is the day i might even consider rating him
He would be good at Brisbane where the likes of Voss , Aker , Lappin , Black ,Power etc could give it to him lace up without him having to bend over and get his knees dirty
Nothin less than Brenan and first pick though
