Deal at Telstra dome.
Outdated facilities
Missed the chance to move the bowls club 2 years ago, now council changed the zoning & we can't move them across the road
Coach on a 2-year deal, turns out he was a dead duck
Low-end of spending on footy department
Poxy list
No marketable big name players.
BUT
plenty of money in the kitty cos heaven forbid we use that to succeed at winning football matches.
THANKS PETER.

Wasn't our deal at TD the best of all clubs? You're right though. Problem with having such poor facilities is we can't land a big name.

It was great business sense. Our sponsors love it, the TV loves the place, Ian Collins loves us, our bank balance loves it.
Playing there will not help us win finals at the MCG. Minor point.

Dont think id go to half the matches if we played at the G every week. For some reason i just dont like being attacked by pigeons and seagulls whilst watching the footy. Pretty happy we play at the dome.

We sacked St Francis when we finished 7th....
12 team competition and you finished 10th.
Thank heavens our darkest days are behind us.
You finished 15th. This is the exact mentality I was talking about.
At Essendon, the clock is at 1am and if you try to get back to sleep, the nightmare will just continue....
Hi-larious. We got rid of the shit-stain part of Richmond yesterday, happy days! :thumbsu:
Good luck. To navigate the next 20 years you will need much more fortitude than that shown by your fans and board thus far.
You poor soul, you've never seen a premiership...
