If we lose a good young player, that's it for me

I have faith in where the club is currently heading, despite being on course for 0-22. We will get back on top and we will do this the hard way.

Without tanking, with the new team draft concessions and ability to offer players salaries we can't match... it's going to be tough but that's just going to make it all the sweeter when the success happens.

Don't think we'll lose Foley, Martin, or any other 1st or 2nd year players as we've got plenty of room in our salary cap.......but this whole saga is gonna inflate the price that it'll cost to keep these players, reducing our chances of getting a big name on free agency futher down the track.

On a side note, jeez I'm starting to hate Sheeds. Used to think he was a bit eccentric and liked the fact that he used to play for us, but with all the times he used us to get a better deal at the Bombers, the way he used us last year in the 'marketing' role where all he did was seemingly get paid to cause trouble around the club and keep his name in the media, and him now slagging us off in papers and trying to steal Martin really is kicking us when we're down and surely enough is enough.....

GET STUFFED SHEEDS, PLEASE NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE AT PUNT RD AGAIN YOU SELFISH PRICK!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Well done Freezer. Kevin Sheedy has become a pathetic individual that is biting and scratching to hang onto some semblance of relevance in todays game.

Modern footy has passed him by and did probably 6-7 years ago. He has become a sour joke, bitter toward any negative comments about him and responds with hatred and venom. Essendon sacked him and Richmond didnt want him. Every chance he gets he sinks the boot in.

Sheeds has always been for himself and nothing/no-one else.

Strip him of everything he has recieved from our club. Demetriou and co are crazy if they let him coach the new club when they officially enter the AFL.

lets face it tigerheads...this is the BOTTOM LINE with where we are at ATM.
We lose any one or more of the following: Lids, Cotchin, Martin, JR and Foley and we are toast and we might as well board up the place or turn it into a kids playground to make better use of Punt rd.
That is where the club is at and the brains trust has to protect at ALL COSTS. Anyone who thinks otherwise is completely deluded. ;)

It's amazing the filthy scum isn't being talked about talking to Scully, Trengove or Hannebery.

He's gone straight for a Tiger.

**** off Sheeds you filthy parasite.

Bloody hell folks, a bit of calm please. Sheedy is a salesman. He would've been poking sticks into ant nests since he was 5 years old and he'll continue this til he's in a pine box. Remember his comment that we could win the flag 2(?) years ago?

The comment to strip him of his Richmond past is just laughable. He's in the Team of the Century so his contribution to our club is not insignificant.

The likelihood of Dustbin leaving for this McDonalds franchise is next to nil so just settle down and enjoy our slow but steady rise to the Promised Land.

Onward and upward Tigers!

Dimwittio has never liked our club.

The media have never liked our club.

97 percent of the Aussie population hates our club.

In these times of massive inbalance,we have to fight and be loyal whatever it takes.

It has always been us against the rest and we should dam well fight.

We are Richmond and we know how to fight.

WE are on the right track.

Remember the media laughing at us and Ablett senior and Dunstall kicking 17 goals on us and everyone laughing.

WE got out of that and we have 41k members from nothing at all.

41k lmao.

That makes me proud and justified to know we have the best supporters in the league by a very long way and that's why everyone hates us.

They keep knocking bagging laughing but we come up more stronger than ever.

The AFL have tried to knock us down and can't.

Now just think in the future when we actually start winning games.

If you think the world has a Richmond chip on their shoulders the size of Kosciusko,wait till that grows to Everest proportions.

I hope they hate us even more and we will be the ones laughing at their insecurities.

I know we are all made of stern stuff and we will come out of this.

We are the best club in Australia.

Never ever forget that!

Yeah nah the club wont take this lying down, Gale is an astute individual who knows how the AFL functions and certainly isnt about to let the club go backwards.

Sheeds is just a shit stirrer.

chill people, honestly. let me ask you the question, do you think it is just you guys on this forum to realise that these kids are our future? Of COURSE they know who will be stars at our club. We have room in our salary cap to re-sign them.

And whoever we do let go will come with compensation. Hardwick and the recruiting team are not THAT stupid, although taking tambling over franklin etc etc was quite a shocking move, anyways lol besides the point, we will be fine. Relaxa. :thumbsu:

The AFL is serving up another big steaming dog poo to it's loyal followers.
Bottom 8 teams should be exempt from this poaching.

Essendon is just starting to get their list together after 6 years in the wilderness and then this bs comes along.

Can only imagine how much it would suck for you guys. Good luck signing up the young guns.

If a kid is offered $2 million over two seasons to play for someone else and takes it - good luck to him.

GWS will not have a Premiership cup before we have our next one and I look forward to the media vultures descending on any such former Tigers the week after we win.

"How does it feel..."

Thankfully, not since SOS have we needed handouts and we have never needed handouts from the AFL - financial or gimme-rules (I reckon Gary March wants his time again from last week).

We can continue as a strong, prosperous club (and remember that word, people: CLUB) with or without this player or that. I don't care if they were #3, #2 or #1 in the draft. Our club prospers because of us - the members. Players come and go, coaches come and go, administrators come and go, but the membership - we, the army who love this CLUB - stick around a very long time.

Time enough to pick the on-field section up, dust it off and tell it to "get out there and eat 'em alive".

I know I love this club because of the people who make up this club - the members I've met over years and the passion of those people who travel thousands of kilometres every year to watch us play. I love the culture of the CLUB and the attitude of the CLUB and no single player is going to change that.

Ever.

Garbage. Turf him out. His "typical richmond" comment and his constant bagging of the club make him no longer a Richmond person. I understand he's finding it hard to take that the footy world views him as nothing more than an irrelevant bitter twisted old fool but Kev's going to be a lonely man when he's given the arse for a modern coach when the real stuff starts.

To be honest if you were a young bloke with a complete list of other young blokes who are becoming your best mates. You play footy with them but more importantly they become your best mates. During breaks between training you hang out with them, hit CQ to pick up some easy strange on a saturday night with them and go to Vegas for footy trips with them.

The offield reasons alone would keep Martin at the club. It is not all about football to be honest. But from a footballing aspect:

A young list with the challange of bringing the Tigers out of the doldrums. Wouldn't you love to be a part of that side that does that?? I would....

For what its worth, I have never been a fan of Richmond. Hell I remember crying as a kid in 95 when Knights tore us a new one in the finals.

However, Ill be extremly pi$$ed if you guys lose a young talent to either the gold coast or GWS. Richmond for all their faults have managed to stay in a strong off field position over the years and to me, that gets a massive thumbs up!

Plus, like everyone else I also think its a load of crap of how many concession the AFL are giving these two teams. An absolute joke that is going to do absolutely nothing to help the existing clubs.

Also like to add, Ive been watching you guys play a bit this year and there are good signs and some talent on that list. Its gonna take time, but you guys will get there!

Love it Smasha. Let them hate us. That is how it should be.

But all the same Sheeds is now over the hill and I don't believe he will be good for GWS's on field chances.
