I would have thought they would be bubbling with excitement at the 2 new marquee signings, but no, appears some are not satisfied with the upcoming 2017 flag.

Didn't you hear? Their coach said they're going to play finals!

Peter Casey promised the fans that if elected Richmond will strive to finish in there rightful position of 9th. 

my original post contained similar wording, but I did an edit because I thought it was too predictable.

I know someone who was in that ridiculous other lot that tried to take over a couple of months ago. They haven't given up yet and in his words "we are not going away"

Yeh, wow, what a situation.  A person challenges for a Board position.  Hold the presses, this is one hell of a story.

Unlike us when the wheels fell off in 2008 and Stynes got rid of the whole Board.

Madness at Tigerland, that's for sure. Still trying to catch my breath.

Maybe they are just devastated and are grieving at the loss of Ty Vickery. ?

Not to mention the outrage at what they gave up for Prestia

It's only $800k a year... :wacko: Love his endeavour though; he's certainly aspirational if he thinks he can take Richmond to September. If nothing else he'll fit in with all the other delusional people at that club.

Thank God he did, we have come a long way since then, we went down for a while but at least we got rid of the apathy that existed and now we have a new and vibrant club.  If we left that board in we would have, in all probability, still been wallowing at the bottom and probably still fighting for survival.

It's difficult to sit back and watch a club rip themselves apart and KB has played a massive part in it by mentioning his own team every day on air.They are making consequitive bad decisions- papering over cracks .Doing long term damage.

Difficult to watch mostly because I laugh whenever a new story comes out about how disfunctionsl and toxic it now is.

The worst ideas of AFL season 2016

Part of the fun of following the AFL is the constant stream of bad ideas and their unintended consequences.

Yes, the AFL and its clubs are a terrific case study in the Dunning-Kruger effect

Most fans think they could run their club or the competition better than those who currently do and looking at this list, they’re probably right.

Extending Damien Hardwick’s contract

Much has been written about this already. It made no sense at the time, let alone with hindsight.

The Board said they had to do it when they did, to lock Hardwick in. You only need to lock something in that people would try to steal.

Of course, it was also a bad idea because it led to…

Focus on Football Ticket

The rival ticket’s push for the Richmond Board was so shambolic and inept; it made me believe they were qualified to be the Richmond Board.

They certainly seemed to have everything required, a vague platform, poor media skills and a general sense that this was all being made up as they went along.

Focus on Football even had the same policies as the current board.

So bad was this campaign that it made the current board look competent.

Truly, that takes some doing. I mean, this was a board that appointed an accounting firm to review their football department.

That’s like getting Brendon Fevola to review your finance department.

What's wrong with an Accounting Firm reviewing a football department ?

After all football is all about the numbers e.g goals for and against, number of inside 50'so etc.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
