Peggy
Dimma
Cotchin
Gale

That's the backbone of our Premiership era all gone. That quality of leadership is going to take a long time to replace.


The bigger concern is it is going to take eight years for Essendon to get a premiership potentially. Therefore we need a heap of draft picks this year so we can pinch one before their 8 years arrive!!!

Question the timing of all of this... Gale gives the keys to a Dimma who should have been released after 2022 season. Peggy leaves and we sell the future of the club so that the old bloke can have another crack only to leave for the better fitout in the gold coast?

Touch of the abandoned ship right now.

If Labour wins the election in Tasmania or it is a hung parliament Benny might not have a team to be CEO of
Labour has stated they want the team to play at the existing stadiums In Launceston and Hobart to prove they are worthy of having a new stadium
The AFL aren’t going to have team Tasmania playing at 12k capacity stadiums
 
holy **** i just saw this.

...Wow

The dynasty was like the greatest romance & worst, most brutal break up ever.

I've pretty much been considered the negative creep of the forum, but the fall from our dynasty era could be as destructive as the fallout from 82 was. We have now lost all onfield & off-field leaders & have nil prospects coming through that you would consider a "lock" for 100-150 games. Our medical and fitness team has been deplorable. We have a genuine age, leadership & quality hole in our roster due to trading 2 years of picks when we most needed them to secure our floor. Unless the club can hit home runs at the draft table or do wonders in FA, trades - we are going to be in a world of pain.

Looking at our list for possible future "lock" to form a meaningful core - removing all 29.5/30+ players as they are not going to be around when the next group are ready to launch, i think we'd only have 6 players getting games for a top 8 team - Bolton, Taranto, Rioli, Balta, Baker & Hopper.

Coach of GWS too. Wore a Giants scarf on the grand final. Alienting for sure. Baraasi is a life member at 4 clubs, Lethal flags at 3 clubs. Hafey coached at 2 clubs after Richmond.

The 37 year drought ending has been an amazing effort by Benny, Peggy and others. Almost everyone has moved on Gale may as well too.

I saw a lot of RFC during late 60s and 70s and Sheedy playing career here I rate. The best Kevin to play for the club.

Jack R might have success down there. he will always be a Richmond legend first.

Funny seeing Cotch working on TV and up at the Lions..

Traitor?

If they win a flag.
The point is Sheedy played for us as JR, cotchin, and wishes them well whatever they do I hope they don't do a sheedy and openly say what he does. I still remember him playing and the wrong kick and all and yes I class him as one of our legends. How many times have you seen him wearing a rfc jumper since he left it's all bombers and talks all bombers.

Sadly with Sheedy he spent more years at Essendon in the end than at PRO so you can’t begrudge him for that. I didn’t like his dirty tactics every single time his contract was up as he was teasing us all to build his bank account.
 
We cashed in with the on- and off-field teams we had. To have both of them peaking at the same time is pretty rare. Plenty of teams get one right and not the other and a premiership eludes them. Some get them both right and still don't get the premiership success. We had it three times over.

Forever grateful.
 
Bits N pieces from an article regarding Tassie.
We should be concerned.


While Brendon Gale remains the Devils’ preferred candidate to be the first chief executive, the club would like an answer sooner rather than later.

But Gale, who has privately told people he’s still considering his options, as recently as Tuesday spoke passionately about the redevelopment of the Jack Dyer Stand at Punt Road in an interview with Channel Seven.
Richmond’s list manager, Blair Hartley, who masterminded the building of the Tigers list that won three premierships, remains number one on the Devils’ hit list to help build a team that will be competitive from its first season.
Two sources at the Devils, who wouldn’t be quoted because of confidentiality reasons, told this column that Hartley hadn’t been formally approached because they were waiting for an answer from Gale.
Hartley, along with Greater Western Sydney’s Jason McCartney and the Western Bulldogs’ Sam Power, has already helped to oversee plans for building the new team, in consultation with then AFL football boss Brad Scott.




Hartley is contracted and remains very much a required staff member at Punt Road.
Devils chairman Grant O’Brien told The Scoop: “Our priority hire at the moment is our CEO, and it will be up to that person, once in place, to work with the board to attract and retain the right staff for the Devils.”
If Gale was to commit to being the first chief executive of a Tasmanian AFL team, he would almost certainly have to announce that publicly before the end of the home-and-away season.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a senior football industry figure with links to Tasmania said the Devils were in desperate need of a CEO sooner rather than later, so that person could then hire a general manager of football and a general manager of corporate affairs and communications.

A football boss would then be able to organise heads of list management, recruitment and coaching.

The Tasmania Devils are looking to poach well-regarded Richmond GM of football talent Blair Hartley to be their inaugural list manager, according to Sam McClure.

Technically correct, their poor performances in their roles, got us the picks that allowed us to land the foundation pieces to those premiership teams.

Given Hartley resigned Grimes, Pudding Guts Graham, Ralphshit, Prestia on one leg and Kosi to multi-year deals and gave away the farm for Hopper and Taranto the sooner he ****s off the better in my view. Him and Livingston have been the architects of our rapid downfall.

Brendon Gale’s legacy has been tarnished by him putting up with BS umpiring for 7 years. Too weak to call it out because he doesn’t want to jeopardise his plum Tassie gig from the AFL and before that sucking up this the Commission to get Gil’s role….move on and give someone a go who isn’t afraid to stand up for the club

There’s a reason why Collingwood has had more free kicks than any other team in the last 20 years. The CFL knows not to mess with Eddie
