Francis Jackson said today that he has been there since 2006.
Tomorrow nights team only has 9 players that he has drafted in the NATIONAL draft that are picked to play. Thats pretty ordinary for a side that is rebuilding. Out of the 9 players 4 were top 10 picks.
This guy has had the RFC board...
So are we going to ignore and continue to accept whats being the problem of the RFC for the past 30 years?
It comes down to recruiting, recruiting!!!!!!!
Guys on this board who love FJ and the Staff at RFC who continue to make up excuses for him - its time to make a statement and go after Matt...
MM yesterday said that he will not coach ever again after this weekend.
Obviously Craig is in no hurry in making a decision. We should offer Mick Coaching Director.
I think Mick's statement will put pressure on Craig to make a decision quickly. At the moment its seems he has 5 clubs all over...
If the AFL don't scrap the priority picks ( which port will get next year) they could end up with the first 2 picks in next years draft. Which they rate as good as the Judd Hodge draft.
THe AFL are financially going to support Port for the next 5 years until the move to there new ground.
I am...
I have contributed to the tiger fund & am a member and have been for some time.
We talk about cleaning out the list and we all know that we have a fair way to go. We talk about being ruthless on the field.
But I think a clean out has to happen off the field. I am getting rather nervous that...
Dont
1. Continue to waste picks on short people, Nason, Weborely, Hicks etc Westhoff (bodysize not height)
2. Dont get so narrow minded on draftable players from the start of the year. Things change
3. Draft purely attacking players, front runners
4. draft flankers, pockets etc
5. Draft Players that...
Since last Saturdays match against Carlton there has been alot of media scrutiny at punt road and supporter angst. Most of it warranted.
But its important & imperative that we remember how we got in this mess & that is from trading away early picks for mature players.
We have been linked with...
Did B Gale mention anything this morning on SEN?
Do u think we will find out or will be they too embarrassed to say how much we raised after our effort on Saturday.

THis has been a culture problem with our recruiting for years. How many rucks have we drafted in the past 10 years?
How many quality key forwards and defenders have we drafted?
We seem to draft skinny flankers etc I know we have said it before. But gee we need to put our recruiters on notice...
To quote Terry Wallet ' I will spew up if he is on our list next year'
Cant understand why dimma continues to play him and pumps his tyres
Am i missing something?
Body Size- Poor
Decision making- Poor
Skill Level- Below par
I read somewhere earlier in the year, that Craig Lambert son is coming through the ranks. he is not eligible for Lions, misses out by a game but qualifies for tigers.
Does anybody else know of any potential F/S
RFC can you find out from club potential F/S
Has Maruice Rioli got a son under 16?
Gary March pledged 50% of the money raised will be invested into Football, if you had a choice where would invest it.
In Priority
1. Poach Derek Heine from Collingwood to head our recruiting
2. Another recruiting scout
3. Another assistant/ devlopment coach.
4. Standalone VFL side
5. High...
Its clear to me (&maybe others) that we lack marking strength around the ground.
We struggle to kick in to a long target coz we have no big blokes that can mark it in a contested situatin. Nothing frustrates me more when we try to bring the ball in from defence & it goes back into our defence as...
Brad's senior debut for West Adelaide, he looks impressive, has anyone got any other information on this kid. He looks good for pick no. 47
://www.westadelaidefc.com.au/INTERACT/VIDEO/BRADHELBIGDEBUT.aspx
I really think this kid needs to be our absloute priority.
He has expressed a preference to living in Melbourne and is hesitant in going interstate.
He is the kid that will help Jack in our forward line. He is tall, big body, amazing agility etc etc.
Our tall/medium forwards would be complete...
Sam Day is by far the most talented player in this year draft and IMO by far the best.
He is 195 cm, he is either a KEY Forward or Defender. Fantastic contested mark and his skills are exceptional. See last year country champ highlights along with video clip on TAC stars on the weekend. Kicked...
if All Australian team picked right now, both should be picked.
Lids should be picked as a half back, his form has been unbelievable. He has been a consistent player in the past two years winning two b&F and this year he has gone beyond previous years performances.
If Harry O or Heath Shaw get a...
Has the priority pick been scrapped for the next two years or is it still in existence?
If so, I would assume that we would get a pick directly after the first round or has that been changed?
And when would melbourne get a pick if they qualify, I cant see the AFL handing them a priority pick...
He is our man, we SHOULD be happy that he has been injured during the year as this may give us the opportunity to PICK HIM UP.
I will go as far to say that he will be the best key position player in the draft. His size will provide him the ability to be a power forward.
He is 198 cm! Not the...
If this is the only deal we get done today I would be extremely happy.
Neil Balme is quoted today saying they most likely wont get Smith coz they have to pay him more than $60k a year for two years.
Smith is going cheap & we are doing nothing about it.
I am going to watch what he gets traded...
Troy Simmonds's big surprise
Jon Ralph | October 08, 2009 11:30pm
RICHMOND has offered sidelined ruckman Troy Simmonds another contract, with the Tigers stripping two more first-round selections from their list.
That means 23-year-old ruckman Adam Pattison will be moved on, while former...
However, it is apparent the Western Bulldogs could be the saviour in a three way deal that would see the Saints receive Andrejs Everitt.
Geelong is expected to lose midfielder David Wojcinski in either a trade or draft period after not fitting in the Cats salary cap.
Richmond is expected to...

Can someone please provide info on this kid.
Apparently his rating has grown in the last month.
I think he is a key forward, and played senior WAFL of late
THe players are going to have the biggest preseason in the career's
Our players are going to live in the GYM
We will no longer draft stick figures
We will not draft anyone who cant kick the footy
We are going to cull the list hard
We are going to have a game plan that the players can follow
I...
He is our MOST VALUABE PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes you heard it right.
If this bloke does a knee in the next weeks no club especially the saints who have shown interest in him will trade him.
Just as you think our season cannot get any worse think again.
I say to him, your season is over, get any op...
Just as you thought it couldnt get any worse.
If he had of missed it and we lost the game, Melbourne would have no priority pick and we would be bottom. Tom Scully would be wearing yellow and black.
I feel sick & almost about to give up the club that i have supported for my entire life
