Think Tank BreakingNewzz: Richmond played the competition by opting out of this year's pissweak draft.

[Aristotle Pickett]

Next year is a legit super draft, this year stinks like a reeking ten day old fish left out behind the freezer.

We'll trade picks in and even if we don't we'll have plenty of picks.

Ah yes they were great days, when one great club gathered together to proudly save itself, while the usual pariahs in Geelong, Geelong and Geelong etc leached off the AFL to save their broke arses.

"In that darkest hour, however, the Yellow and Black faithful rallied magnificently, to ensure the $1 million was reached by the deadline."

Superb salute to Save Our Skins

In August 1990, Richmond launched the Save Our Skins campaign to prevent the Club from going out of business...

"With seven clubs on their financial knees - Fitzroy, Geelong, Footscray, Collingwood, Melbourne, North Melbourne and Richmond - the league was in dire straits."

"Of the 11 Victorian Club companies it appears that seven of them are technically insolvent. These clubs are Fitzroy, Geelong, Footscray, Collingwood, Melbourne, North Melbourne and Richmond," he wrote on August 8, 1986.

Saving football: New documents reveal how close the VFL came to shutting down

In 1986, the Victorian Football League came perilously close to being shut down. Thirty years on, never before seen documents reveal how close the end nearly came.

One comment of note from the above article which has since been proven true and why we alone are the saviors of this great game.

"A public lottery to support the VFL was also considered and there was even a view if the VFL could just get Richmond to win more games the crowds would come back."

and come back they did



Thanks for the heads up Cheffy, no need to thank us for saving the game, its just what we do.

Good luck after you lose half your members bandwagoners once Martin retires, get ready to rattle those tins again.
