Richmond appear to be working it nicely - Chaplin and Knights. We could do worse than follow their model. Drafted smartly - Cotchin and Martin, traded wisely - Maric and Grigg etc, rose up the ladder looking like a club going places and now are using FA well. More Richmond, less whinging ...

Not sure about Chaplin & Knights - time will tell - but you are correct - trade for players who can address gaps - Maric in particular has proven to be a steal. I wait with interest

The flaw is that spuds are commanding top dollar.

What a joke.

HaHa, could be that it in fact Ends the potato famine.

after its Floor settles down?

When did Richmond become the model for development?

They have had a couple of good recruits over the last few years but I think it is a bit of a stretch to imply that they are the benchmark. I hope that there are some better examples for MFC to learn from.

I'll wait to see Richmond in the finals before I point to them as a model to be followed.

Playing us on a break BW.

WE are so far behind them at present we cannot hear the band.

The Tigers beat both Hawthorn and Swans during the year

How close did we get Hawthorn 11 goals and Swans 16 goals

as well the Tigers beat us by 9 goals and 2 goals 11 behinds and a couple out on the full.

I think they are way in front of us in ladder position, quality of list and Development of players.
