Time to sack the Richmond Board

[Whispering_Jack 29,686]

First it was Dustin Martin's "jail bird" salute and now this - Richmond star Jake King gave bandidos boss Toby Mitchell VIP entry into MCG rooms.

The Richmond board has clearly been derelict in its duties leading the club into the vice like grip of criminal elements.

Time for Caroline Wilson to highlight this blight on the club's culture and to call for wholesale sackings at Tigerland.

Very good point WJ. But Caro will struggle to speak ill of her beloved Tigers.

Isn't it time to move on Jack?

[MadAsHell 4,212]

You should send her an e-mail and ask if she'll be covering the story Jack seeing as she wrote about the concerned parents of teenagers being drafted to a club like Essendon where they treated the players like Guinea Pigs or Melbourne where the club didn't give them their best chance to succeed by tanking.

What about Richmond where they openly allow their players to associate with known criminals???

Why move on? She is a pathetic journo who has her personal gripes that she uses her job to exploit, yet when it comes to her tigs she suddenly has "no sources" on the matter.

Humour and wit have no place on these boards

Now pour me a cognac and pass me the financials.

[praha 11,226]

It's pathetic, isn't it?

If I were a player in that change I'd give either King or someone at the club a pasting.

Fancy allowing despots like that into the change rooms. Is King an idiot or what?

[DemonFrog 1,352]

Can we sack the Richmond Board?

[The Reverend 1,736]

Ah, we at Demonland love a good sacking thread don't we?

Rhino, isn't it time for you to stop pulling wings off flies and take out a subscription to the Comedy Channel?

Bit early for the Brandy my man....surely still Sherry time ??

[beelzebub 23,311]

back to the Op Id lay money the hacking hag would implode before she could take poisoned pen to he beloveds !!

What Richmond need is a good man like ...oh I dont know...a Schwabb to look after them.

Theyd have a better grade of desk at least .

[What 18,810]

chances of Caro doing an expose` on the Richmond bikie/criminal connection = 500 billion to 1

She's not a pathetic journo, she's a pretty good journo compared to most footy reporters however is obviously in the AFL's pocket and refuses to say much about her beloved Tiggers. She also seems to sit on information and then use that as part of her arguments without making them public, i.e. we are expected to just take her word about certain things.

[DemonFrog 1,352]

I love a good Tiger Hunter or twelve.

But if this is true it will be dark times for them.

The CS suggest is GOLD!

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,665]

Surely the best solution is for Cameron Schwab to go back to his roots and become CEO of Richmond.

[Chook 15,012]

Look at us. We pick up Paul Roos and Peter Jackson and suddenly we're on top of the world again. Please!

as for kero,never let a journo upset you.because in the end they do write your obit

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Perhaps they'll pick up Dids, he's got some past affiliation to the bikes hasn't he?

But seriously that is a disgrace these guys are criminals of the worst kind and the club should sack him immediately, how dare he introduce impressionable kids to that sort of element.

Suspend the doorman for 12 months but sign him to a 2 year extension for mine Robbie

[jnrmac 20,040]

Gary March to resign, Maurice O'Shannassy for Pres.

You heard it here first.

[Ouch! 2,258]

Anyone else see this article?

Wonder if someone was taking the Pi$$ or it's an unfortunate coincidence.

AFL might need to be getting a please explain from the umpire in the background

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,297]

They should be looking to sack who ever gave Jack Reiwoldt a 600k contract. Goes missing when needed most.

Nah, let it fester a bit longer. I see Martin and Connors are still life long buddies. The Tigers asking Dusty to disassociate from such elements worked a real treat.

Actually, she is by far the best investigative journalist in the game. Some of us might not like what she writes sometimes, but she is always first to break the big stories, and usually she is right.

As far as Richmond is concerned, she makes no secret that she is a tiger fan (after all her father was long time President of the club), but she has been very severe in her criticism of the "jail-bird" salute by Dustin Martin ( and by Andew krakou (sp?) before him). Her test will be where she goes from here.

The Federal Police have been very concerned for a long time about organized crime infiltrating elite sport in this country. People like Wilson should be at the forefront of exposing it. It will be interesting if she has the courage to do it in Richmond's case.
