No, we have recruited with a footy background. I'm sure all Clubs have. What I'm suggesting is that it may not be with as much of a footy background, and this is borne out by decision making, especially when tiring.Your points are valid and I don't know the Richmond list well enough to comment.
Blackburn is atypical of players that have come from other sports, but so is Brennan.
What your point indicates is that Richmond have not recruited enough with a footy background. They have picked up plenty from other clubs and Conti is an absolute star.
