Roast Dan Richardson Interview - SEN

[bananatigz]

So he's basically said our recruiting strategy has been to ensure that we were good enough to make finals whilst knowing it would never deliver us a flag, and then blames this on the fans because we wouldn't stick around long enough for a proper rebuild? Is this some kind of sick joke?

I've been fighting against it so hard, but this has finally done it. #ECO

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

I never wanted to be that guy that stopped getting a Membership but I am close at the moment. After the Tommy Hafey tribute match disaster against the Dees back in 2014 I lost what little faith I had left in the current regime, but as much as I try to be #eco..... I just feel really flat at the moment.

I've cancelled mine.

Sure, I'll probably call back and put it back on renew...but right now I wanted to send a message.
Thousands of us do the same you know they have to do something.

"We didn't think Richmond fans would accept an eight-year rebuild. We turned it around in four, which I think was a terrific achievement.

"We're paying a price in the sense that we knew that that mature-age talent would get us to a point but not take us to the next level, which was always going to be the hardest part.

"While it's been disappointing somewhat to not win a final, it's been a good achievement to play finals for three years in a row for the first time for 20 years for the club."

You ****ing arseh*le. Blame the fans. Say it to a Richmond supporter's face I dare you.

And look at the second part! Let's celebrate mediocrity!!! Woo! Campaigner.

Didn't Jack Dyer once say to a couple of new players, might've been in Richo's book (the decent bloke Richardson not this campaigner) "you private school boys better not **** up my club". Well here we go Dan Richardson has done this and has put his hand up like its all a joke. I'm sure he's not the only one.

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

am I still unhinged? or is some of the things I have been saying panning out?

3-0-75 there was never a finals in that plan, ther has never ever been a flag in our KPIs

The fact that you posted this answers your own question.
If you want to have this discussion, PM me.

Lol typical richmond. Can we please sack dimma hes going to try and make a run at 9th he is a complete **** head. Rossy lyon basically tanking but were not smart enough too. Surely someone has to tap him on the shoulder and say your not selecting the side anymore.

 

[Achilles Heel]

Back the club now. I ******* dare ya!

Disgusting. This club deserves all its gonna get after that.

We are on the right track.....hmmm that could be a good title for a thread

 

[Groupie_]

Absolute rabble of a club

 

[I Rock]

Yellow & Black Ink.

Let's face it, we have all been sold up the river in the name of balanced books.

 

[CoggaRules]

As i said in another thread that the damage from this years shit is going to bring the club to its knees and here we have Benny and co signing up for the womens league ..because it suits our "business model"....thats all it is dudes..a business model...collecting money on the back of BS.

[Groupie_]

Only dude I would keep is Gale all of the rest of em have to go

Peggy should be deported to America tomorrow , she's more dangerous than Dustin Martin's dad

 

[Groupie_]

They think they're running the RACV with all their members and profits , someone tell them we are a ****en football club

 

[Michaels]

who would have thought that 5 months on from the CAS hearing Essendon is a seemingly more stable club than us ATM in terms of offield and almost onfield.

 

[Martin#4]

Taken for fools.

I won't be going this Friday.

The sad thing is, as a member base it's difficult to get our feelings heard (and repeated in the media).

 

[djspank]

gees these 2 lines are damning.

"We're paying a price in the sense that we knew that that mature-age talent would get us to a point but not take us to the next level, which was always going to be the hardest part.

"While it's been disappointing somewhat to not win a final, it's been a good achievement to play finals for three years in a row for the first time for 20 years for the club."

I might be wrong, but I could have sworn that when Dimma first started we were speficially told "No Bandaid fixes" and we will be 'sticking to the blueprint'.

Or did I hear those two things incorrectly?

Pretty shit blueprint if you ask me, and we have done nothing but Bandaid fix shit, and the club knew this obviously and are seemingly happy with how it turned out.

this is getting beyond a joke now.

You guys remember Lids getting offended on the footy show last year when asked if anything short of a finals win = a failed season.The players knew the strategy then. Show up for a final, but by all means don't expect to win one. In all walks of life, be it business, personal relationships or sport, set the bar low and you will come up short.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Sounds like he probably wishes he had his time again.

I can't listen to the interview at the moment but can someone please tell me if he was saying that a mini rebuild is in order before getting back up or is he advocating another full rebuild?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

What a dickhead.
I can't imagine anyone at the club at all is going to be too pleased with that interview.
I reckon Dan will get the arse pretty smartly after this.

 

[Roachy8]

I blame the property steward . Not having there name , only numbers , on there property bags is ******* with the players minds .

You blame Giuseppe Mamone for causing that towel fire last year?

 

[Nostradumbass]

Gale on 3aw tonight

"Look, what Dan meant to say was..."

 

[I Rock]

What a dickhead.
I can't imagine anyone at the club at all is going to be too pleased with that interview.
I reckon Dan will get the arse pretty smartly after this.

You could almost guarantee there will be a media release of some kind that will be a "clarification" on what was said and what was meant.

 

[docko911]

I'm pretty sure I recall when Hardwick came to club it was perceived that the slate was clean and we were going to do what it took to become premiership contenders.

Instead our club shit themselves and my call for sackings in Hardwicks 3rd season are well and truly justified.

And FYI Dan you didn't need 8 years for a rebuild as you already had your 5 best players and 5 players as good as any other clubs best 5.

The fact the club has failed to find and develop 15-20 players capable of fitting into the 8-22 bracket of the team is mind boggling. We had S.Edwards and Vickery also prior to Hardwick.

Newman, Tuck, Jackson, Foley and a few others were the mature players helping us through those years.

The recruitment of Grigg, Houli, Maric, Knights and Chaplin made sense but everyone outside of them was ridiculous.

We should sack everyone at the club and go for a man like Luke Beveridge who hasn't allowed excuses to get in the way of his team playing and developing youngsters.

Rat shit club this one... The supporters need to take it back from these overpaid beauracrats with their stupid corporate decisions.

[SpudsLoveChild]

Have the players been told that they're not good enough to win a flag?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Have the players been told that they're not good enough to win a flag?

Maybe it'll work as reverse psychology

 

[Nostradumbass]

Have the players been told that they're not good enough to win a flag?

Didn't some of them take lesser contracts so we could build the war chest and land a big fish?
