What does richmond have to do to get him back?

I think that if he refuses to go to the Hall of Fame Dinner and snubs the club then the club should not award him with any honours until he returns.

Not sure but I think everyone from the board that sacked him have left the club.
Maybe if we had a different No. 1 Member (Gary Krauss) then he might came back. I know this man helped us when we were broke but I never saw him kick 7 goals in a granny???????


It would be great to have him back for this year.
I've followed Richmond since a little kid and I have not seen a Richmond side more prepared for a season than this season.

I think that many of tiger supporters would have had enough of kevins long and protracted falling out with the club.As much as i would love him to renew his ties with the club i dont hold out much hope that he will. As to what the club can do;well i think that sucessive boards have extended an olive branch but so far he still refuses. I understand that all the individuals that caused him to leave the club have left

I hope this issue dosnt overshadow what should be a memorable night for the past players and the club.I remember watching the footy show acouple of years ago, when they had alive cross to richmonds gala night; honouring past great players only ending up talking about why kevin still hadnt returned.

I hope its a great night and provides inspiration and pride in the
current players to have a great year,as for kevin only time will
tell.

GO TIGERS

I agree fully mellowyellow, KB is and always will be a great Richmond person.
Its a shame he cant get past the issues he has with the club.
This stance has to be mentally draining,the regrets, missed opportunities,reminicing past feats with mates and receiving qudos for great achievements . The longer it takes the harder it will be to Forgive.


Good luck to all involved with the night, and congratulations to the inductees!!

GO TIGES

The guy is a selfish old prick with an attitude problem and frankly i think Richmond is better off without a guy like that around the place. Frawley's done wonders to turn the culture of the club around (wish he was at St.Kilda) and you don't need a bum like KB, despite how good a player he was. I mean, Geelong doesn't need Druggie Ablett or the Kangaroos don't need a certain ex captain ...

KB...

Not one bit bothered whether he's at club functions or not...

More interested in guys like Krakeour, Fiora, Rodan, Poyas, Zantuck, Ottens and Hall.

K.B is a legend but he must remember who helped make it all happen .RICHMOND that's who .No one person is bigger than the club . TheFoxhat is everywhere.

He stated that he wouldnt return to the club until everyone associated with his sacking had left . The last of group was a guy caleed Kraus ? I think who also happened to be the guy who donated about $400,000 to the club during the Save our Skins campaign and effectively kept us afloat . From memory he left last year leaving the path open for KB to return to which he yet again snubbed the club.I was one of these optimistic people who understood his stand and thought of it as a matter of pride and that as soon as the last remaining had left the club he would definitely be back . When still refused the club after Krauss' departure I figured stuff you then the club can"t do any more than they have ....he's now made his bed and he can go sleep in it
