I've obviously been living under a rock, because I haven't seen that video before.

Gee that made me laugh. :rofl
 
My opinion is that the Prestia trade in isolation we paid overs, however overall I thought we did well during the trade period. Time will tell, however I am quite content with how we did.

Nothing against Prestia, I hope everything works out but ...

Pick 6 - Prestia = WAY OVERS!

IMO there is no need to wait 5 years to judge that decision.

Right here, right now it is OVERS!!!

Everyone saying wait 5 years to decide = CRAP!



We got screwed royally.

Right here right now, if pick 6 and pick 24 perform better than Prestia and caddy next year then I'll eat my hat.

At this stage we're in front, time will tell whether we stay in front

Careful, if you had made a similar bet about Yarran last year your scalp would be well suntanned

Correct.
The trade season has Neil Balme written all over it.
He's saved Dan for now.
No doubt Peggy and her crew of dinasours on her board will be hoping Balme can do the same for them.
Not forgetting Benny of course.
Time to slither off under a rock Again Benny, Neil's got your job covered.
 
Just wait now for Balmy to do his large scale reassessment at the end of the year with 12 months observation under his belt. If we let him off the leash he can transform us in two years. Love the way he goes about it.

Can you tell us what exactly did Balme do?

He got Caddy shack n Nankervis.
And he didn't get Motlop!
Which Dan & Blair would have fallen for if Balme wasn't there.

We also look to have some capable assistants in Caracella & Clarke.
Balme rates both.
So for the first time in a very long time, we actually have someone in place with footy smarts.

Isn't that amazing?
Pity it took so long for Benny to listen to wiser heads than his.
Like" putting the right people in the right positions".
Enlightening stuff for Benny.
One would have thought that one of the AFL's most highly paid CEO's could have figured that out for himself.

But we are Richmond.
It will be a slow process but gradually the cloggers throughout the club will fall by the wayside.
Next year we will finish well down the ladder which will turn up even more heat on the cloggers.
I'm anticipating some big changes in 2018.
Go tiges.

How do you know that it was Balmes doing? Just a guess or do you know for a fact what his involvement was?

How do you know it wasn't DR/BH who knocked back Motlop and brokered the deals?
Or is it just because you and others find these two players as being welcome additions someone else gets the credit. Maybe it's because DR/BH are on the nose with quite a few (probably with some justification) that no one can give them the credit due but give it to Balme.

Did we only get them for one year?

Let's face it the only reason Dan & Blair are still in employment is the "jobs for life" policy at RFC.
Their track records are dismal failures.
Balme was brought in to "help" Dan.
Just like Carecella's been brought in to "help" Hardwick.

If we run out with a different game plan in round 1, who do you reckon will be the architect of that ,Hardwick or Caracella?
The answer to that of course will be , not Hardwick.

Not talking about coaches, assistants or game plan.
Care to answer any of the questions I posed re Balme doing the trades?
