Rioli WSPHU.
That call is fkn hilarious
Surely he was putting it on
imagine if that guy had to go through the drug saga? probably would've blown up punt road. Hope he hasn't done anything drastic after that.I hope so too, he should stick around and continue to bring a little light into our lives. After all the crap foisted on our club over the last 4 years by those mangy scum Wilson and Smith I wish them another 40 years of abject failure. Live long and suffer.
Richmond have been richmond for decades and more coaches than I've got fingers and toes.Sacking Dimma won’t do anything. A new coach will come in, and there’ll be a brief period of optimism (especially after they bottom out next year and the year after and score some early draft picks) and then their overwhelming Richmondness will reassert itself.
If you held a gun to my head and told me to fix Richmond, first I’d ask you to pull the trigger, but if you refused, I’d start by completely reinvesting in player development. They stink at it. Blokes who show early promise there go backwards, blokes who were speculative pickups never develop. Miles, Conca, Ellis, Vlastuin, Morris all showed good signs in their first year or so at the club, then have gone into reverse since then and now spend a bunch of time in the VFL. Elton, McBean, Arnott, Batchelor, Helbig, Wright - went nowhere. Dea and Matt White - sucksville at Richmond, but playing well at other clubs. Rioli and Lloyd are their big success stories for this season - betcha they succumb to ‘difficult second season’ syndrome big time next year, and then never bounce back.
There is something seriously wrong over there.
new board.
new administrative staff.
new coaches.
new players.
that order.
AND
new board.
new administrative staff.
new coaches.
new players.
that order.
Rinse and repeat.
ad infinitum.
They just dumped all their assistant coaches

Yep, because they are the problem. I know if I stick my head in the sand it all works out in the end.
Using the example of Liverpool, after the 2014/15 season, the got rid of all of Brendan Rogers backroom staff and he remained. 8 games into the next season he was gone. Ominous sign for Hardwick if you ask me…

That’ll raise a few eyebrows.

I hope @Riolio still has his Jon Ralph eyebrow gif handy

Yes but with Peggy O Neal & benny gale running things down there even with 1 or 2 wins by that stage he may still meet the relevant kpi’s they’re looking for & get another contract extension.
Fair dinkum lloydy you are so so so much better than footy classified.
hmm richmond = liverpool is what i got out of that.
Schadenfreude in all its glory.Regular caller Mario from Doncaster had an interesting assessment of Richmond’s performance on Saturday https://audioboom.com/boos/4985668-mario-from-doncaster-it-s-been-a-long-year … @TheRunHome
They have a few put on coodabeen champion style ‘callers’ on that show. I’d never taken Mario to be one of them. I actually find that mildly disturbing (if it is in fact legit).
Richmond are regretting that 5 year deal
Geez, a board spill Wait for Caro to lay the blame at the assistant coaches and groundskeeper to keep her friend out of the firing line.

Nailed it.

Apparently he’s a Dees supporter.
The lady is obviously confused - Seems like this is an AFL test under its Illicit Drugs Policy - Why would the lady contact ASADA ? It’s not an ASADA matter.

Edit, why is this in the Tigers thread?
They need to go hard after Cloke. A side with Cloke, Prestia and Yarran and maybe Delidio playing more will be a lot more competitive than the current one. Shows how ■■■■ they are though that they can build on their current list.
