  1. https://alignedleisure.com.au/ This is a Richmond non-gaming initiative that delivered $$ for them..... Richmond have struck a lucrative deal to manage a string of leisure centres on Melbourne's south-east fringe, transforming the club's business plan and making it one of the most diversified in the AFL. The deal, which will see the Tigers take the management rights of eight leisure centres in the Cardinia Shire for up to nine years, will add about 15 per cent revenue to Richmond's finances or about $5 million annually via a wholly owned subsidiary, Aligned Leisure.
  2. Look fwd to your realistic list of businesses for the club to be involved in, It's not that easy you know....
  3. PLs fwd your ideas to Peter Jackson.....
  4. can't be too private if it was on Ch 7 news......
  5. $cully was an ordinary pick. He is small and chip kicks everywhere. He has great endurance which has come back into favour given the restrictions on interchange but oterwise he was an ordinary number 1 pick. If we were picking today with our current recruiting team between Oliver, Wines and $cully, $cully would be a distant third
  6. Probably need to get over yourself first....
  7. Breaking News: Company acts in its commercial interests. Stop the presses. Burnside is a horrible human being.
  8. It wasn't. Simple. Which but don't you get? Watts was a bust after 9 yrs and 150 games. He was a disruptive influence both on his own behaviour (rehab, team rules, training habits, after-hours habits and putting his head over the ball/appetite for a contest) and from a media and supporter scrutiny point of view. Elite skills, yes. Elite habits, no. The team could not rely on JW. He was best gone.
  9. Not all from 2008 but I still laugh (well maybe laugh isn't the right word) that Port have our 1, 2 and 4 pick....
  10. Fair point. It was a class goal and plenty of others would have fluffed it. No one doubts Watts has class skills.
  11. I agree. I don't want to waste another 9 years on the next great white hope.
  12. Best return from Jack in a real game? 4 goals You'd be the kind of person still waiting for Col Sylvia to have a good pre-season.....
  13. FFS Jack was told on many occasions what was expected of him. He failed to adhere to the standards of training, playing and rehab that the club wanted. He drop himself for one game you will recall. Unheard of. He was also dropped after he had played 150 games. Where else does that happen to a player in the prime of his career? If you have players that won't play the way the club/coach want you to don't act surprised when they are booted out. You can never say the club didn't try to get the best out of Jack. Get over it move on.
  14. Todd has some personal non-negotiables about player habits and work ethic. He wasn't enamoured with Stef Martin a few years back. Watts would have frustrated the daylights out of Viney.
  15. It's no mystery. The club didn't want Watts. They took what they could. Don't beat yourself up. Players come and go all the time. We have 5 players playing from rd 1 2014 in our best 22.. It is nobody's fault other than Watts.
  16. I guess if there is a difference in the way that parties were treated they could sue to recover lost wages, fines, reputation etc?
  17. It's all coming from Hird as I understand it.......
  18. Fishing expedition to see what evidence they can find of the AFL / ASADA conspiring to do a deal over the EFC.
  19. Correct on point 1. The bitterness stems from the deal which was agreed between EFC, AFL and Fed Govt and for which they received a draft letter from Gillard. This was rescinded or not proceeded with when Hird heard about the Cronulla deal and wanted similar. Hird was then 'thrown under a bus' according to himself and has been eternally bitter.
  20. No Vlad called David Evans because he had ample evidence and tip offs about what they were doing.
  21. Not at all this is a simple foi request. You ask for the broadest possible info to see what turns up. It's a fishing expedition. If anything they will try to relate that to how the EFC were treated.
  22. F*** The MFCSS is alive and well.
  23. He was a partner/shareholder but I understand when he left he sold out of his shareholding.
