Internal Memo

[diggler]

Ian Cambell on 3AW now trying to put out the flames from Neil Mitchell. Says the usual crap, Frawley is safe, blah blah. They live in fairyland at that club. Despite their confidence in Frawley they will cave into pressure. The business reality is Frawley continuing will screw Richmond even further down the toilet.

 

[Fighting Fury]

Well I don't want to hear some 'engineered' response from the Club, designed to appease me. I don't want to hear "yeah anh, it's time we stepped up to the plate for the supporters".

I want to see the players running through brick walls. I want to see a proud captain bust open a few packs (like Ricciuto or Voss). I want to see Fleming put a hard block on someone tagging Cogs, and then I want to see anyone from the opposition challenging Fleming to then have to take on the whole *smile* Team. I don't want to have to watch a dud like molloy play the game of his life without someone making him earn every *smile*' kick. I don't want to be reading all this nambie-pambie crap in that HS comic.

Hookes is an absolute tool...dines out on one Test hundred against Sri Lanka when they were hopeless, and running for Fitzroy for one season. Miller will p!ss him off pronto if he lightfingered the memo.

 

[diggler]

It was denied that Hookes received it. Gerard Healy said it was supplied to them and they had no knowledge of the memo when they went to air. Hookes only read it out.

 

[shawry]

Agree that Hookes is a tool.

 

[Tigerblood]

I thought radio up here in NSW was bad, but having found out that you Vics have to listen to a combination of Hookes and Healy... I can't stop laughing. Healy must be the most boring pseudo-intellectual mechanical knob I've ever seen in the media. As for Hookes - what a B-grade hack! He would have been lucky to play fifth drop for Tasmania in modern cricket.

As for the memo - well it's just pure Richmond isn't it?

1. Any and ALL references to our members and supporters is nothing short of glowing. "Best," "Most loyal," "Most passionate," "…feel fortunate to play in front of/serve such a great support base…"There can be NO FURTHER REFERENCE TO LACK OF LOYALTY,`FICKLENESS,' OR `BANDWAGON.'

To me, this shows a distinct lack of affinity for the footy club and its supporters.

For some time now, I have felt that our Club has seen us as a 'necessary evil'.

How dare we expect more for our efforts than two finals appearances in two decades.

How dare we expect our players to play with passion, spirit and heart.

How dare we expect anything.

If any of you have seen and felt what we have, you could hope to understand us a little better.

If you think that by whispering sweet nothings in the ears of our supporters is going to sway them, you are seriously kidding yourselves.

The majority of our supporters live in the real world. We just wish our footy Club would join us.

Well spoken MC24. I suppose we get the chance to have a say in "the survey", but how much of that will be read by those that count ? And will they take any damn notice ?

 

[PuntRoadRoar]

yeah baby yeah !!!!!!!!

oh boy!!!! things are hotting up and its getting very exciting.

keep up the good work Richmond and i will renew my membership next year. LOL

diggler, laff, harry and co. looks like our hopes and dreams are starting to be fulfilled.

those 50 odd emails that Paul Maley recieves weekly were any of them from you guys? ;D

im so excited this is great news, i drove to work this morning with a huge smile.

ok now we want

1. danny fraudley to resign now he knows the truth that most tiger supporters dont want him.

2. the club gets rid of the whole bunch of duds that been holding us back for years.

 

[PuntRoadRoar]

oh yeah as for not using the term BANDWAGON, i think its more appropriate than ever


all aboard the sack d.fraudley express !!!!!!!

 

[shawry]

That Perth drinking water been getting to you PuntRoadRoar? How can you be happy with an embarrassing stuff up like that to the club.

 

[Koalalill]

How can you be happy with an embarrassing stuff up like that to the club.

Exactly Shawry - this is why people laugh at us

 

[PuntRoadRoar]

maybe there is something in the perth water shawry, but i do know there is definately something in adelaide water

but you know if we hit rock bottom at least we cant sink any lower.

I just find it hard to believe the club can leave something like that laying around, its a joke hence why we are a laughing stock again.......

 

[shawry]

PRR: No arguments with any of that, especially about the Adelaide water, it is terrible.

I do agree though, these things should not be leaked.

 

[gustiger12]

Very poor that these things get leaked.

Gees if Spuds been feeling the pressure lately and as Laff claims is thinking about resigning I wonder how he felt when he found out about his little phopar.

I too can't help but suspect that this was a very deliverate leak.

 

[mightytiges]

Leaked just in time for the footy show tonight :.

Sounds like we are running a political party down there rather than a footy club . Reminds me of the Yes Minister episode whereby the Minister says "The ship of state is the only ship that leaks from the top and not the bottom".

My first thought when I heard the memo on the radio this morning was that Danny couldn't possibly now survive 'til next year. It's just too damaging and embarrassing.

Well said MC.

This politic-speak is the BS that annoys me. Sure there are idiotic supporters (all clubs have them) but most of us can think for ourselves. We go to the matches as well as watch other non-Richmond games. We do know our footy. Just because we disagree with the official line on a certain issue (eg: the coach) doesn't mean we need to be "educated" or "sweet talked" out of it. Sucking up to us saying we're loyal and passionate doesn't alter things that really matter like the coaching staff not having a clue when it comes to modern footy strategy.

 

[diggler]

I cant help but compare Millers and Casey's support for Frawley to good old Bill Clinton. What did he say "I did not have a sexual relationship with that woman" ;D

 

[julzqld]

The worrying thing is that we are beginning to sound like the Melbourne Football Club.

 

[smasha]

ROFL diggler. ;D
Richmond if you treat the supporters like politicians treat people,the egg will come right back at your face.








aah 67-74 The Beatles,Led Zep and Richmond winning premierships.
