Interesting rating of Kade Simpson

Does "interesting" mean, "chronically underrated and couldn't pick talent in the West Coast midfield"

all those problems and yet they still have more premiership cups than both the handbaggers at sleepyhollow and the spitters at manure road combined .
they even managed to win the wizard cup

 

[Johnson#26]

Long way to go yet. 2008 will be the year you finally awake from your slumber (IMO).

 

[Johnny69]

Bit harsh on Simpson i thought, he improved a lot during this year and he is still young.

Fans help Tigers draft extra AFL rookie
November 8, 2005 - 5:49PM

Richmond fans pledging money through a website will help the financially constrained AFL club recruit an extra player in next month's rookie draft.

The unofficial supporters' website, PuntRoadEnd.com, has already raised $8,000 through pledges from fans bemoaning the fact that the Tigers had only been able to afford two rookies this season.

Most clubs had between four and six.

Both of Richmond's 2005 rookies, defender Will Thursfield and midfielder Nathan Foley, have been upgraded to the primary list in the post-season.

The club agreed to let the website's members help pay for an extra rookie for next season, which costs the club about $35,000, after a request from the site's founder.

Some supporters had pledged up to $1,000 each.

Richmond football director Greg Miller said a club coterie group was also helping raise money to fund the extra rookie draft pick, under the novel plan.

"Financially, we've been restricted to just one or two choices over the past two to three years, and it looked to be the same situation in this rookie draft," Miller said on the club's official website.

"However, our Captain's Club coterie group has pledged its fund-raising efforts towards a rookie.

"The PuntRoadEnd website is also raising money towards helping us have a rookie.

"In essence, we will work closely with friends of the Richmond Football Club to be able to participate as deep into the rookie list as we can afford."

I dont get it, after all this..how does it give a richmond supporter the right to be arrogant.IITB is a well proven tool.

Carlton and Essendon helped with the Save Our Skins campaign and maybe we were a bit hasty in helping to keep them afloat.

We will finish in the bottom four for the next 10 years, will never develop good footballers, our kids will never shine and Fevola will never take his finger out of his rear end.

There, are you all happy now?

Carlton are crap.

And Essendon keep taking our players - go figure!!

 

[Chemical]

Should fold

IMO, most Carlton supporters recognise there will still be another 1-2 years of pain before we can climb up the ladder. We MUST recruit the right players and we don't want to make the same mistakes that we did in drafting Massie, Vance and Livingston.

As for 2005, we certainly went backwards when compared to 2004. It was certainly a long year, especially after our success in the Wizard Cup. (Say what you like, but we played well in March). I can only hope our young players keep developing and we can get some good young players in this years draft.

Not even our good ones, either!
