Those of us that have followed this club for many decades know all about what this documentary revealed, however, I hope our younger supporters can now understand: a) what a massive club this one is, and b) the desperate need for unity from all facets of the club which is the "not negotiable" for success.
Servants of the club must be afforded dignity by the club. As good as Graeme Richmond was for the club, he was equally as bad. You cannot continually brush humans aside with disrespect and expect the status quo to remain. The RFC stood still while the other clubs moved with the times. Times are a changing though, and the football world is beginning to understand what to expect when the beast is back.
Very good documentary, congratulations to Mike Sheahan and the team at Fox Footy.
And, smasha, it is good to have our club. None of us knew at the time, but we were very, very, very close to becoming the Melbourne North Tigers in a 3 way merger in the early 1990's under a secret set of meetings know as "Operation Alloy". If it wasn't for the huge supporter base this club has, we'd have been the 1st Fitzroy. Who else (apart from Collingwood) could sustain 30 years of crap??
GO YOU TIGERS!!
