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).

Apparently he’s a Dees supporter.

With the emotion in his voice he must be the worlds greatest actor.

How many flatmates joe advertise

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.

If I were Richmond, I’d be hoping there’s some sort of Cloke curse. They’ve been sh*t since David left, so maybe if they get Travis it will cure the curse, John Safran/Socceroos style…

They just dumped all their assistant coaches

Cannot get my head around how a footy club can just sack every assistant coach & retain the senior coach. Surely that is an admission that their coaching ‘group’ are shizen in their own eyes let alone what we think, surely that means the senior coach is shizen too or was he at odds with all of them & somehow they think he is too good to work with that bunch, but then would he not have had any input into hiring them. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before or cannot recall any club doing that in the last 30 odd years, then again bitchmond do a lot of things that I don’t think I’ve seen done before or more importantly see any club doing again.

Almost looks as though it was done to make it look like they were doing something
They’re nearly on Brisbane levels of basket case

They’re imploding in classic Richmond style while pretending desperately that’s not what’s happening.

Will give up pick 6 plus couple of later picks for Prestia.

Might be a good move for them but wonder how Prestia will feel about going to a team with no players?

Richmond board spill: prominent members, premiership players call for challenge

A “PROMINENT” group of Richmond members, including two premiership players, is calling for a spill of the club’s board.

Details are scarce this morning, with the group set to unveil its identities and plans today, after a press release titled “Success or Failure Starts at the Top” was circulated.

“A new group of prominent Richmond Football Club identities including two premiership players is calling for a spill of the RFC board, declaring it’s high time the focus of the club returns to its core business - winning football and contesting premierships,” it states.

The group says it will unveil its “new plan for football at Richmond” at 11am and further ticket details at Leo Berry’s Boxing Gym in Richmond.

“It’s going to be an interesting meeting, because at face value the only thing Richmond isn’t doing at the moment is wining games of football and winning premierships,” former Essendon captain Tim Watson said on SEN this morning.

“Every club is fuelled by emotion - I think there’s a lot of anger within Richmond as they look at a rebuild.”

“They’ve got 70,000 members, they’ve got money … they market themselves incredibly well as a team here in Melbourne.

“I think probably the agitators will be more about the way the board have gone about making their decisions, primarily about the on-field leadership in recent times.”

“This is the last thing any club wants.”

The Herald Sun reported last month that property developer Joe Russo had been planning a board challenge, which he subsequently withdrew.

The Tigers won just eight games this season, finishing at 13th on the ladder.

I think I read somewhere that the Richmond board has ONE elected representative. Very cosy old mates’ club over there. They’re probably a very long way overdue for some change to be honest.
