Grown man writes letter to club pretending to know more than those who are infinitely more qualified.
gotta laugh.
If the club had the same view and fobbed off the opinions of the people who buy the memberships and keep the lights on, because their degree says they know better, we'd be back in the dark ages again pretty quick. Customer feedback is essential for a business to stay relevant.Grown man writes letter to club pretending to know more than those who are infinitely more qualified.

Thank god for people like you. Take away the footy aspect - from employers to a democratic state - this is how it needs to be.If the club had the same view and fobbed off the opinions of the people who buy the memberships and keep the lights on, because their degree says they know better, we'd be back in the dark ages again pretty quick.

what were the rumours about balme being signed as head of football at crows again,Rumours ain't facts...and how does this help?
That's it...what were the rumours about balme being signed as head of football at crows again,
They weren't rumours according to Sam Edmund - who straight up said Balme signed a contract and confirmed the move.what were the rumours about balme being signed as head of football at crows again,
there you go , as they say in the classics the only thing you can believe in the papers is the date and the price, so don't come the high horse pedaling rumours as fact from some bris ragThey weren't rumours according to Sam Edmund - who straight up said Balme signed a contract and confirmed the move.
Once Edmund was left wirh egg on his face - he wrote a new article about Blair Hartley being approached by Carlton and North.

What’s wrong with teenage girls gossip clubs? Essendon do ok with them…………Can we stop with the unsubstantiated rumours regarding peoples personal lives? This is a footy forum, not a teenage girl gossip club
Too many snouts in the AFL troughSpot on - rather be first than be accurate. Straying off topic a bit here - but a few of these AFL journos need to lose their media passes - unfortunately it's all about clicks than it is about facts.
* Alex Rance's sudden departure.The next 18 months in Richmond's history may be it's most important.
Historically, a short burst of success is confronted with a drawn out, sustained period of misery and mediocrity on field and off. Our members and supporters are seeing this vicious cycle play in front of our own eyes.
Incredible leadership and once in a generation players helped us attain the ultimate glory. Whether it's Jack Dyer, Royce Hart, Kevin Bartlett, Dustin Martin or Jack Titus. The sheer size of the clubs support and the appeal of its iconic identity makes Richmond stand out as the biggest and the best. Newspapers, television programs, social media, buzzing for years.
Cinderella morphed into Ursala.
Our success bred 'Tiger Tire', no one wanted to hear about Richmond anymore. Any story that was remotely negative was blown out of proportion, some stories were generally negative and deserved the press. The tide turned, the moment it began was with Trent Cotchin's successful appeal of the Dylan Shiel physical contest. It escalated with Alex Rance's sudden departure. It culminated with Damien Hardwick's divorce, which became ugly and public. In between?
- Dylan Grimes & Nick Vlastuin 'staging'.
- Tom Lynch's interactions.
- Sydney Stack and CCJ.
- Damien Hardwick's comments about Marvel, David Schwartz, Johnathan Brown.
- Brooke Cotchin and the dayspa.
- Demands from Richmond players whilst in Hubs.
- Jayden Short receiving an item from the home crowd (it was a watch).
With success comes great envy, and all this negativity in my opinion has exhausted the majority of people working at the club. Our rivals have poached an excessive amount of our people. Maybe these controversies and the negativity behind Richmond helped escalate the exodus? Brendon and Peggy have embraced people - helping assist people transition in and out of the club.
We're now at the crossroads - lots of talent leaving, who are they been replaced by? Our members have listened to countless podcasts, read numerous books and listened to a variety of interviews that explained Richmond was an it's best when Damien Hardwick could delegate responsibility to his support network.
Now in 2021 - mistakes of 2016 have been made again. We discuss a 'growth' mindset, however, it's now lip service - everyone is burnt out and running through the motions. Kane Lambert's passionate speech at the Jack Dyer Medal Ceremony from 2018 promised our supporters 'redemption', the passion clearly visible through the monitor of my internet stream. This has been replaced by rehearsed speeches that are perfectly worded, but lack authenticity - by our leaders.
It doesn't end there. The membership department know that I, personally, am a donor to the club. They call and message me, asking me to donate more. When my membership the past two years, the additional add on's - should be more than enough. I'm not the only one who is receiving communication from the club for extra funds, whether it's raffle ticket entries of donations to the FTF. I cannot stress enough, it's very difficult to donate when on this occasion, I haven't been told what my money will do.
Brendon Gale explained in 2010 the FTF would relay the surface on Punt Road, giving our players better facilities to train. The creation of our own VFL team needed 500,000 to get started, $6,000,000 dollars - and Gale was transparent, enthusiastic and honest with how it would be spent.
Now? Whilst I see videos of Hawthorn players personally signing thank you letters to 77,000 members - I reflect on how Richmond used to be the club that was most authentic with its members. We even had a representative on the Big Footy forum that we nicknamed 'Stig'.
We've lost our way.
I have noticed and I know many others have too.
Spend the break to rediscover that lost energy, spark and passion.
Our history shows that once our successful period fades - we lay dormant, becoming the 'sleeping giant once again for another 25 years.
What do I want to see? Transparency between club and members. Communication from the top - I dont want fluffy feel good pieces, I genuinely want to know what were doing to get better? What's the next phase here for Richmond.
Thank you for the success. I am grateful forever for it and those memories will last for the rest of my life, I genuinely hope we can create more.
Kind Regards,
I will send this with my member name and member number.

It doesn't end there. The membership department know that I, personally, am a donor to the club. They call and message me, asking me to donate more. When my membership the past two years, the additional add on's - should be more than enough. I'm not the only one who is receiving communication from the club for extra funds, whether it's raffle ticket entries of donations to the FTF. I cannot stress enough, it's very difficult to donate when on this occasion, I haven't been told what my money will do.
Brendon Gale explained in 2010 the FTF would relay the surface on Punt Road, giving our players better facilities to train. The creation of our own VFL team needed 500,000 to get started, $6,000,000 dollars - and Gale was transparent, enthusiastic and honest with how it would be spent.
Now? Whilst I see videos of Hawthorn players personally signing thank you letters to 77,000 members - I reflect on how Richmond used to be the club that was most authentic with its members. We even had a representative on the Big Footy forum that we nicknamed 'Stig'.
We've lost our way.
I have noticed and I know many others have too.
Spend the break to rediscover that lost energy, spark and passion.
Our history shows that once our successful period fades - we lay dormant, becoming the 'sleeping giant once again for another 25 years.
What do I want to see? Transparency between club and members. Communication from the top - I dont want fluffy feel good pieces, I genuinely want to know what were doing to get better? What's the next phase here for Richmond.

Ernst & Young is infected.
sigh , I hear you, but feel there will always be grass fires on the gossip frontNo problems with the talk being about footy but it's called a private life for a reason. It's nobody's bloody business what happens when you go home.
Speculation, rumour, innuendo, gossip (which is all it is) does nothing but undermine the club and the team. Everyone has the right to decide where to spend their money, but it doesn't give you the right to air someone's laundry, dirty or otherwise in an open forum.
I have no problems with the letter/op however as you say TM, the Hardwick's divorce became public and ugly, innocent people get dragged through the mud and that has nothing to do with football imo.
I don't mind declaring I've been divorced for 20y and my first wife is still one of my closest and dearest friends, the mother of my children. Nobody knows what goes on in peoples lives and that is as it should be.
People call football clubs "family", but family is your family and the footy club is like a family. People who don't appreciate that subtle difference and feel it's ok to comment on someone's private life are on a hiding to nothing. Because you will never know.
It's private and should remain so.
The next 18 months in Richmond's history may be it's most important.
Historically, a short burst of success is confronted with a drawn out, sustained period of misery and mediocrity on field and off. Our members and supporters are seeing this vicious cycle play in front of our own eyes.
Incredible leadership and once in a generation players helped us attain the ultimate glory. Whether it's Jack Dyer, Royce Hart, Kevin Bartlett, Dustin Martin or Jack Titus. The sheer size of the clubs support and the appeal of its iconic identity makes Richmond stand out as the biggest and the best. Newspapers, television programs, social media, buzzing for years.
