Tomorrow there will not be enough spare time in the day to keep up with this thread.
There are those who think there will be manic activity tomorrow, disappointed if there isn't, melts about all sorts of things.
Will be a shocker.

To the regulars and not so regulars on here who witnessed my venting/melting yesterday I would like to offer an apology. After reading about Richardsons comments on Friday night and also reading about sides like Geelong and Collingwood landing quality players while we'd seemingly shut up shop I woke up in a filthy mood yesterday and needed to vent or else I'd explode. So I did and some people got caught up in the mess and to them I apologise and also to those who had to steer clear and then saw what a mess it had become this morning and felt like shit I apologise to you as well.

On my travels today I've managed to hear a few things that have got me back to looking forward to trade period starting tomorrow. I don't know the full details about what it happening and I'm not going to divulge any more than saying I'm looking forward to see if it comes off.

What I will say is that with 29 players on the list at present aged 26 or younger we're in a position now to take a calculated risk or 2 or 3 to try and take that next step that takes us from a side that loses first week of finals and makes up the numbers to one that is a genuine contender. If (take notice of the IF please) we trade our picks in this years and next years drafts plus a player or 2 or 3 to land players deemed more important to our push to reach where we all want to go I have no problem in that and I doubt anyone else on this board with either.

Like everyone here I want to see Richmond standing there on the last day of the season holding aloft the Premiership Cup in fact I want to see us doing so 2-3 times over the next 5 or so years and I want us to be more hated and loathed than any club has ever been and I'm sure I'm not alone there. So as I said above when I read that Richardson had said we've effectively shut up shop I was pissed off because I want the club to leave no stone unturned in trying to reach the ultimate goal.

Lets hope the next 10 days bring us another step closer to that goal.
Go Tiges :)

Add BA as another "journalist" who frequents BF
Has he done an article on rfc's incompetence? Does he call out Dan and Blair? Because if you if you are insinuating he dug the Weller news out of this thread imo it's safe to call him an investigative journalist. Spending hours digging through this shit!

One thing to remember is we may have clubs coming to us next week actually trying to get our pick 12

Geelong and the pies need more to get the number of players they are supposedly securing over the line. Some of the northern clubs still may need for their academy points

We have shown we are definitely interested in shopping our pick, and it is in the round 1 sweet spot (not too low that a club would have to sell the farm to get it, but not too high that it's not valuable in these deals clubs are doing)

All 100% IMO with no facts
