Stand alone Reserves team... on the cards?

[Bazzar]

Richmond is a certainty to field a dedicated Reserves side. After Dimmas recent comment endorsing the concept, I was interested in Benny at half time last night talking about the Fighting Tiger Fund, saying how the interest alone on the 4.5 million would be “enough to fund a reserves team” If that wasn’t an admission we are getting one, then ill go hee.

Yeah I've got that vibe too. Besides I think they could make some money out of it- sell some $20 memberships or something, and I think alot of fans would like to catch a few games.
I guess they'd probably play in Cragieburn? I reckon it'd be awesome to have a few Saturday games at Punt Road when the seniors are playing at the G on a Saturday night, so do an old double header and maybe have a small function at Punt Road inbetween?

Yeh the issue is the club wants to develope the young guys but Coburg wants to win games!
While the club is happy with Coburg as an affiliate they agree that a stand alone club in the VFL will better serve the players as the majority will be playing VFL seniors instead of mixing between seniors and reserves!

Its not a vibe its fact.

big part of what the fighting fund is about ...

Crucial for future development of our players and our brand .

Not a matter of "if" but "when"

bring it on

If the reserves play in the VFL what colour will the jumper be?

Can we use the traditional jumper?

Of course. None of that dark blue and red nonsense
