THE PLAYER XXXXXXXXX TELLS RICHMOND TO GAGF MEGATHREAD

Nice one, but it has nothing to do with my post. Although you are right to change the subject as you cant really argue with anything in it and you would be living proof.

Having said that, Richmond's dynasty just happened to be during the AFL's weakest 5 or so years. AusKick footy was good enough to win you the flag. Coincidence? Hmmm.. how many bigger named players did you see leaving the Pies at the end of Buckley's tenure (that weren't moved on by the club)? Zilch? Do you know why? Because there was still upside to playing for Collingwood. Richmond on the other hand... haha :$:drunk:

Oh how convenient we won our 3 flags when the league wasn't good.

Wow.
Has there ever been anything like this?
(Not counting Fitzroy, whose best players bailed because they had to shut up shop)
This will make the Kangas recent years look like a day out at the seaside.
I can't see the Tugboats getting out of the Bottom 4 this decade.
Maybe Finals mid 2030s
Maybe win a Final a few years after that...
Hard, lonely times ahead

Oh, we'll be OK. We have good talent spotters. We didn't build our premiership era on AFL handouts.

We picked up Dylan Grimes in the 2009 pre-season draft after every other club passed (including Melbourne who had previously drafted his brother with pick 14). Club captain, B&F, 3-time premiership player.
Pre season 2010 - Bachar Houli. 26 games in 4 years at Essendon. Goes to Richmond - plays 88 games in next 4 years. Nearly wins 2xNormies. Thanks Bumblers.
In the 2014 Rookie draft (ie players no one else wanted), we got:
Kane Lambert (under Carlton's noses for 3 years at Preston, including winning the B&F there).
Jason Castagna (under Carlton's noses for 2 years at Preston. 3-time premiership player).
Jayden Short - B&F in a premiership year (2020).
Ivan Soldo (premiership player - would have been 2, but for injury).

In 2016, we took Nathan Broad ND Pick 67 - played 4 years WAFL . WC & Freo not interested. 3-time premiership player.

A few clever trades:
Shaun Grigg for Andy Collins (thanks Carlton - again:)).
Toby Nankervis - 4th best ruckman at Sydney (thanks, Swans). Club captain, 3-time premiership player.
Josh Caddy (former top-10 draft pick - thanks Geelong).

One big trade (Prestia)
One Free agent (Lynch).

Aaaaaaand - we're done. 3 premierships, thanks.

We'll be OK.
