Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
It's no surprise to behonest, Richmond these days is run more like a business, stability and profits over greater success. People quickly forget how broke as a club we were only 10 years ago, and even now we are nowhere near being a powerhouse in the league financially(even with high membership).
I don't disagree but if you told Richmond supporters in 2009/10 "you'll make finals 3 years running from 2013-2015" I think most of them would take it in a heartbeat.
Affected the club massively.
Why are GWS flying?
Number one draft picks.
They got the lucky dip compared to Gold Coast.
And they poached champs from other clubs.
Money talks.
When Richmond go after a player,every club goes after him because they know they can sell therre club better due to Richmond'shistory so we are always behind the 8 ball.
Collingwood have mountains of cash,they will always get their man.
The media ,what can I say ,danced on our graves when we were looking like being hung by the AFL.
They have a skip in their step again this year because Richmond are failing.

I think if you further expand that sentence to say 'you'll make finals 3 years running from 2013-2015 but lose all 3 and then go backwards' then they wouldnt take it at all.
If you threw up the alternative of 'you'll go through a tough 8 year rebuild (realistically shouldnt take that long anyway) but afterwards have a genuine shot at a premiership' they'd take that in a heartbeat over the other one.

No I'm not.
Demons fans celebrated like a premiership beating us this year,grand final hangover the next week against the Saints,got smashed.
Collingwood went apedroppings beating us,lost the game the next week.
Port couldn't give a toss for 3 quarters then they played Richmond and played like it was the last game on Earth.
We are dfinately a hunted team.
Have you seen the bay everytime we lose a game?
Opposition fans revel in Richmond losses more than all the other teams combined!!
In fact the only team when it's OUR grand final is Hawthorn but not this year,too many outs and young players in and loss of confidence.

We are also a hunted club.Opposition fans get great pleasure out of beating Richmond so we play a grand final every week.All the big 4 clubs face that imo.
We didn't get any picks but we then finished mid table so we still even didn't get the picks after GWS GC.Did the Tigers lose any players to GC/GWS when they came in? Look at the Dogs, bottomed out during the expansion drafts, lost Ward, Harbrow, Griffen.
In fairness, they did create the only team in league history capable of losing a final to a side that didn't even make it - with a five goal head start. No one can ever take that away from them.
And each year you can mark Richmond as one of those even before the season starts.At the end of the season there will be 17 losers.
Let's leave it at that.
This victim mentality doesn't help anything. I feel no ill will towards Richmond other than you keep ******* up my tipping.LOL,AFL will suspend us.

If I was a player at RFC I would even think about gong on strike and I think the some fans would do that to!
This is literally the most bizarre thing I have ever heard.
I can't believe it.
They have betrayed their fans and to make matters even worse, they are blaming them for doing so.

I know it's been done to death but take the 2010 draft. Richmond take a flyer on Conca, a good honest midfielder at best who no other club rated close to that high. The next 5 picks you have Caddy, Heppell, Prestia, Gorringe and Lynch.
Since then you've picked up an entire team worth of discards from other clubs. Hunt, Chaplin (4 years at 450k), Yarran (why?), Townsend and others. It seems you're going down the collingwood lite path of recruiting to prove how big and awesome you are rather than rebuilding and developing your own talent. Some clubs have been smart with that (Hawthorn/Sydney), others have not (yours and mine).
Joe Public doesn't hate Richmond more than any other team, a few nuffies notwithstanding. Nobody fears them and the AFL certainly aren't going out of their way to bring you down. Do the hard yards and you'll get back to where you want to be.
People that must be sacked (today)
Hardwick for agreeing to this nonsense
The Board for even suggesting it
Dan Richardson for making this public
This is insanity. Speechless.

Hawthorn were bottom for 5/6 years BEFORE the new clubs came in.
