Yeah lets install the current crop of kids with the same mentality that has plagued this club for the past 25yrs for the sake of more high draft picks.wait why stop there.Lets do it for the next 4yrs so we can a side full of top 10 picks.Something to brag about at the very least. ::)
Captain, the philosophy of some here seems to be, you pick up a crop of kids with decent draft picks and then about 5 years down the track when they actually start to develop and get 50 - 100 games behind them you offload them so you can get some more high draft picks and start all over again. There was an article in the MX yesterday that pointed out that the clubs who have benefited most from high draft picks are yet to win a flag and the team with the least top 10 picks currently playing is current flag favourite and ladder leader Adelaide.
yes but adelaide have 18 players on theit list taken in either the 1st or 2nd round. to narrow the debate down to top 10 picks is being very unfair and decietful. and for the record rfc have 14 1st or 2nd round picks on their list 7 of which have been taken in the last 2 yrs. i wonder if our supposed improvement over the last couple of yrs has anything to do with this.
 
The die in the wool ferals would be happy with themselves tonite to see Richo
kick 4.
Pencil him in as our spearhead in our 2008 premiership side!!!!!

when will you all wake up to yourselves get rid of him.

Haven't seen Essendon get rid of Hird, Brisbane offload Voss, Hawthorn throw away Crawford, Collingwood *smile* off Buckley, etc.

A club is more than just a team of players on the ground all under the age of 25, and all top-10 draft-picks.

A club also gets respect for how it treats its loyal players and its champions.

Richo to stay until he retires....simple as that.

Claw,
Whether you like it or not, he IS a champion to THIS club.
Named in the team of the century, 3rd on our all-time leading goalkickers, All-Australian, over 200-games, etc, etc.
What do you call a champion, someone who has a Brownlow and a Premiership medal? or?

One who can turn games around & win them for you. Every time he has to kick a goal with pressure on him it's out on the full. Doesn't do it as often to be called a champion. There's only one champion at the club & his name is Nathan Brown. ;)

I think Claw said we should get rid of Browny cause he's 29? ::) :hihi

I wonder if there's a Saints version of Claw on their forum who's been trying to get rid of Rob Harvey for the last 5 years...? :hihi
 
Let me get the number right. I need help. Were 19 Richmond players flogged today. Maybe it was 18 or 20.

Some would have it that Matt Maguire can play. Decoy chb dud, IMO.

And Richo showed him (on the rare occasions when our 50 was menaced) who was the boss.

The situation has not change in the last five years. Punt any of the smalls. They cannot play.

Agreed big Jack, agree.

He cannot be the match winner any more but get the ball to him quickly and he will win the battle against who he is up against.
