    Has Richmond adjusted their marketing ?

    From what I can see, no mention of australia day - whether in favour or against the public holiday A TON of posts of the boys training. Has the pretentious Wokemond era died and is the club focused on using its social media platform to promote main purpose of winning premierships? I guess we...

    Keep it Positive - A thread where we find genuinely good things going on.

    Hey guys, Please post only positive stuff, I'll start first! I know there's an AFLW forum tucked away in the corner of this fine forum, but I wanted to bring some form of positivity to this place during a dour and depressing time. Mon Conti is the best female player in the AFLW, one of the...

    There's a difference between youth, talented youth and AFL standard talented youth, generational talent, where do we fit ?

    A mate and I debated this the other day whilst watching the Carlton Richmond match. There's no doubt we have youth, - Smith, McAullife, Fawcett and Seth Campbell are teenagers. - Dow, Ralphsmith, Blight, Bauer, Trezise, MJR, Sonsie, Banks, Gibcus, Clarke, Gray, Clarke, Green and Tom Brown are...

    Noah Balta on the Wing - Richo 2.0?

    Okay... He plays defense, does well, eventually stagnates and Dimma moves him forward during the preseason a few years back and plays him forward for a few weeks. It fails miserably, he moves back into defense with some good results, he's got great rebounding ability, great intercept...

    Tasmania Vs. Richmond - Will it be our new rivalry?

    Our history is so intertwined within the state, they'll take Gale & Richo, maybe Jack. Could this be a new chapter in our clubs history?

    Why we underrated Collingwood's ability, but overrated their 2022 improvement.

    This interesting graphic popped up last night on Fox Sports. Collingwood have had an incredible year, one kick away from a Grand Final, and much has been made of their 2021 form and the contrast it had to 2022. This list remained untouched, the core from 2018 onwards remained in tact...

    Just how much does Kane Cornes hate Richmond? Take a look inside this thread to find out...

    This isn't rent free, Richmond have purchased their retirement home in this fools brain. I knew it was bad, but oh my god, this is barely even hitting 2021. Kane Cornes tells how BITTER AFL rivalry started - FiveAA There's an article he's written about how Port Adelaide don't like to beat...

    Does Tribalism prevent the AFL from progressing into a world class compettion ??

    Right now - Damien Hardwick is being mocked by the media and opposition fans for being critical of a score review system that's fundamentally flawed. The cameras are positioned within the light towers with 4.0mega pixel flashlight Nokia technology. The AFL today ticked off yet another blunder...

    Here's your 'Survey' AFL - Why dont you go anymore?

    You can vote for a combination of things too. Lowest attended season since 1996!!!!

    Richmond’s next senior coach pt 2

    Hearing Dimma on 360 last week - he didn't seem resolute in restarting a new rebuild, making it clear to Robbo and Mr. Burns that once this list is done, he may be done with them. Its the first I've heard Dimma speak like this, usually it's very straight lined, PC answer - this answer was more...

    Moved Thread Your thoughts on footy being used to push social and political issues?

    Heavy discussion this one, and im keen to hear thoughts and opinions - as long as they're respectful. Now, I dunno about anyone else, but I personally love going to the footy as a way of escaping the pressures of my day to day life. My job is stressful, every day I work with people and have to...

    Can we get him? He is free (Cue the fans crapping the on idea) He would easily be ahead of Aarts and Ross. Give him a four week training program, and get him in

Here's a recap of the victories since - which includes 3 dynasties. Hawthorn - 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015 Richmond - 2017, 2019, 2020...

    A Letter to Brendon & Peggy

    The next 18 months in Richmond's history may be it's most important. Historically, a short burst of success is confronted with a drawn out, sustained period of misery and mediocrity on field and off. Our members and supporters are seeing this vicious cycle play in front of our own eyes...

    Universal Love The Positives of 2021

    13 positives for 13 premiership, let's GOOOOOOO!!!! 1. Jack Riewoldt reached 300 games and kicked 700 goals. His 300th was a ripper and he played a blinder. Congratulations Jack! 2. Daniel Rioli's move to Half Back has shown glimpses of a career rejuvenation. Hopefully he can grow into this...

    Overdue - time for federal government to ban sports betting ads

    They banned Tobacco adds and did it swiftly. Time for our leaders to pull their finger out here and do the same with sports betting ads. I know we've all touched on this topic, but we need to continually revisit it, its getting worse and more and more dangerous. We are living in a time where...

    The AFL's quest for equalisation, your thoughts ?

    Throughout the turn of the AFL era - almost all football sides have made a Grand Final. Since 1990, everyone except St. Kilda, Melbourne, Fremantle and the expansion sides have won a premiership. We are truly lucky to follow a sport that allows for such an equal competition, nothing worse than...

    Anyone Else HATE Watching us on TV?

    I find myself going to the footy tonight because I simply do not want to watch us on TV. Normally I go to the gamr and then re watch the replay the next day, im finding I never, ever watch the replays anymore. Quite simply, the narrative is always predictable by the presenters. It is also the...

    EGG splat?

    At Damien Hardwick's press conference yesterday, he spoke at length about Egg, and what he was saying ... to me, had some finality to it. It almost sounded as if Dimma put a line through him, time to give others a go, we are moving on. Thought it was a powerful message and deservedly so...
