It is no boast or exaggeration to say that the next top 4 Richmond will be the biggest thing in Australian sport. If - and when - this team develops into a real GF chance regularly about the top of the ladder Richmond players will be so high profile that no young bloke in his right mind would want to leave.

Stay in a footy mad city with an iconic club with an average of 60,000 a game watching at the MCG and have the profile that goes with that or go to Sydney and play before 12,000 people in a city that won't know your name? No choice.

They're closer than Mildura and Swan Hill are to each other, and they practically consider each other 'round the corner. A two-hour drive is nothing in the country.
Given I'm a Rochester boy, I know the area pretty well. They'd still be 150km apart, and all that matters is they don't play in the same league. And worse they wear Pies and Bombers jumpers. At least at Rochy I got to wear the mighty Yellow and Black.
