Joel Bowden On Sen

[Tiger_Of_Old]

a few things he said:

*did the tan in 13.53.come in 2nd to Jonno.
*dissapointing in losing Otto.If he changed his mind he would be welcomed back at the club.
*Cant understand why he would leave[the reasons].
*assumes its to do with money.
*Hope Otto can give the real story to his former teamates.
*dosent know if any of the players have been around to Otto,s place to chat.
*said he will go around and have a chat with him.
*said will be a tough pre-season

i got the impression that the player group will do a Ramanaskus on Ottens.
IMO forget it.once he said he wants to leave then as far as im concerned thats it.


cheers!

That's right, there has to have been some damage done that can't be repaired, no matter how willing they are to accept him back.

The expectation on him will be HUGE wherever he goes so if he doesnt perform like he's done for the last 4 years then he'll cop it from all and sundry,

We will be the winners out of this.

We will be the winners out of this.

I agree especially now the kangaroos have shown interest and have the funds available to go after him as being quoted.

It will make it alot harder for Richmond to be bent over in trading talks now thanks to the Kangaroos

As for the players I wouldnt waste my effort talking to the big dud.

Lets just hope it isn't one huge stuff up, typically for Richmond it is.

the who joel bowden interview just goes to show what ottens is all about...

you would think he would have at least spoke to some of his fellow richmond players after the media release, yes i know he is o/s at the moment...

wasnt he in the leadership group this year and if so this is not what leaders are all about in my book...

great example for the younger guys....

we all know he lacks heart this is just another fine example, or is he just gutless to front his fellow teammates and look them in the eye and tell them that he is worth more than what they are getting paid....

 

[jezza]

Better to keep him away from the kids now, don't want any of them to start thinking the same way. It sets a good precedent, we want players who only want to play for Richmond.

 

[hotdogandsauce]

spot on jezza...

ottens is been made an example of i reckon...

no one individual is bigger than the club...

Pretty dissapointing Bowden is our 2nd best middle distance runner.No wonder we can't run out games.Our aspiring midfielders(bar Cogs,glad he's taking it easy) should be ashamed of themselves.

What happened to Chris Hyde? Didn't he win all these runs last year?

Don't panic, this is actually a very good sign. Normally the senior players are excused or just go through the paces this early in the year. Wait until after Christmas when the times really come down.

Last year Hyde (13 min 12), Coughlan (13.13) and Tivendale (13.14) were our best but that was in January.

Terry, if you read this board, please don't let the players coax that big dud back to the club. We are in a great position to win from this trade and it will be disappointing to see us end up with Notthens.
