When we were on fire all the rival teams were looking to improve by stealing our key personnel. Our top coaches in Caracella, McCrae, Rutten and Kingsley. A part from former Capt Newman returning we've replaced them with blokes who've been fired or recently retired players. North poached...

Draft guru states we've had 329 picks in all drafts since they began in 1981. In that entire time we've only successfully drafted and developed 2 quality KPF's (Richo fell in our laps so reality is its been 1/328 with Jack). Time and again we've...
The NGA is a complete scam to delude all the other teams to think they're a chance of developing players and getting a bargain. Reality is more often than not it's just a way the AFL can con clubs into throwing money away on kids with Indigenous or some designated acceptable foreign backgrounds...
Thinking about it there must be something to the losses after the bye. I've got a simple solution. 2 bye rounds. 1st week 5 games played so 10 teams play 8 have the bye. 2nd week 4 games played so 8 teams play 10 have the bye.
1st Week No Thursday games. 1x Fri night, 2x Sat day, 1 x Sat...
I don't know the bloke personally. All I want is the biggest and best club in the land to fill their critical roles with the best candidates. I was shocked when Caro reported on Footy Classifieds last year that Richmond wasn't going to hold interviews for a replacement, they were just going to...
"Tasmania is all but set to claim a spot in the AFL, with all signs pointing to adding a 19th team to the competition by 2027.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Federal Government are set to announce the funding to help build the stadium that will be at Macquarie Point, which appears to...
I can cop the fact we're one of the lowest skilled teams in the entire comp. Missing your teammates is par for the course when you have low skills. But FMD we always hit the opposition laces out on the tit 90% of the time. You never see the opposition diving to intercept our sh1t kicks it's...
Got a simple solution to salvage the next 2-3 years before the inevitable cliff comes. Hire the following additional coaches outside the soft cap: 1) reputable skills coach, 2) tackling coach, 3) set shot coach, 4) freakish goalkicking coach a la Stevie J!
1) Our skills are basically putrid...

Below is a reminder of last year's placings. Been a big year everyone sees footy different and values players contributions differently so will be curious to see who polls where.

Footy is the best game in the world,
We have the best partners,
The best athletes
The best supporters.
People go, they watch, and they love it.
We saw it on the weekend what it means to people,
The connection, the belonging, the passion
And through our new partnership today the investment...
I wrote this last week prior to the game against WCE:
"He's now played 1 game in 7 rounds where he hasn't broken down. Add to that he missed the first 6 weeks. Time to hang them up unfortunately. The blokes gonna walk like a gimp regardless so might as well do the honorable thing and force his...
Stumbled on this in the archives. Long article but a great read.
Breaking the cycle
Richmond, once a powerhouse, has set out a plan to return to its former glory
By Peter Ryan on Mar 17, 2011, 7:00am
ACCOMPANYING Richmond's launch of its Fighting Tiger Fund in February was a message from the...
Obviously we've been smashed last 5 or 6 years in our free kick differential and today was a disgrace. However we're our own worst enemies each week we're giving away 6-10 frees from blatantly tackling too high. We know a lot of players are gonna duck and make it look worse but FFS's are our...
Through work last year I got an email saying Emma Murray was going to be doing some online web sessions and thought nothing of it as was too busy and get bombarded with similar crap all the time unless it's ANZAC related or someone I wanna hear speak like Jim Stynes, the Morecombs , John...
So basically Hardwick's got the job as long as he wants but looking at what's left it's looking a bit light on. Doesn't help we were plundered losing the likes of Caracella and McCrae. Personally I want Leppitch back and if Buckley was keen I'd take him. Personally don't rate McQualter...
I think we target Lachie Whitfield now. I reckon he’s exactly what we’re missing. We offer him the chance to be a premiership player for the biggest club in the land in front of a packed mcg. For that privilege he reduces his $$$’s per year and we give him a back ended 6 or 7 year deal. He can...
Just a hypothetical. Do due diligence on jacks cousin, if he has it in him offer him 1 year minimum wage can play with his cuz rest him when needed. In mean time put everything into securing Tom Lynch as free agent. That way nick can be a bandaid solution to our lack of foresight when it comes...
Townsend has his limitations. Let's be honest short of several injuries in the seniors he'll prob never get another game. But what he does have is size and mongrel. Start getting him to run with the best opposition mids in the magoos so come Geelong he's a snarling beast fighting for his career...
He was a rabid feral tigers supporter as a kid. Offer him a coaching position at the club next year before some other club does. Fulfilling a childhood dream trumps money. Get it done. We're screaming for leadership and finals experience.
One of his relatives told me at the start of the year we were wining and dining him to come over as a coach. Dunno if its a good or bad thing but hope its not just a case of every team being fooled into thinking all hawthorn coaches are brilliant without exception. I remember not...
