Re: Get rid of the Runner

Can we lose Wayne JOHNSTON?

Is it possible to tell him the game is at Kardinia Park.

Is this bloke super-runner or something?

Why do we have this "person" at our club?

Surely there is a much loved Tiger who could do just a good a job, or more than likely better.

Or give the AFL something to think about...what about Justin CHARLES?

Or could Peter HAFEY make a come-back?

But please *smile* off that Carlton has-been.

Couldn't agree more !

Some folk here are making out it is a huge issue, and that we are blaming him for our losses... I'm not.

But I would like to know why this rotund has-been from the enemy has roosted himself in our camp, and why a suitably qualified Richmond person isn't doing the job.

Exactly !
 
If you lived on Mars and then came back to earth, given a crash course in AFL and then looked at The Dominator you would summise thus:

Richmond is on top of the ladder, 4 games clear, everyone doing their job and no need for ANY messages to be relayed from the coach to the players!
 
Interesting to watch the Bulldogs game and 4 fat blokes running round and getting in the way. This was the game where the Bulldog runner was miked and he was just like a juniors coach running around the ground, not delivering the coaches message, but delivering his own.... 'fill in this space..whose got Richo...get him, get on Pettifer... '
Its a joke.
I wouldn't have them at all in professional football but if you must, maybe they should be on a timer of say 3 minutes a qr, which would force coaches to use them for the purpose for which they were originally intended?

Can't believe I've read 4 pages on this topic. He's a runner. Who gives a fat rats clacker.

Good point.

How does anybody know how good of a job he does? He knows more about the game than most people.

Where probably doing the poor bloke a favour.
 
What about the bloke who mixes the Gatorade for half time? He is no good at his job either, or we would not be getting caned by a worthless outfit like Geelong.

Wake up to yourselves.
Wayne Johnstone runs the coaches message to the players, he does not play the game.
Blame the players, blame the coaching staff, blame the kid who sells the pies, we haver been in a re-building phase since 1984, I see no silver-ware in our future.
 
We've got that fat Carlton *smile* Wayne Johnston as our runner....and Geelong have Duncan Kellaway as runner....this is disgusting....
 
Noticed Craig McRae in the box,recently retired & still looking fit.reckon he would be a good choice instead of Augustus Johnson.

Who is blaming him for anything?

As you say, he just runs the messages...so why not get a suitably qualified Richmond person?
