Universal Love Welcome to Richmond Adem Yze

[Barunga Bullet]

Watching the eagles press conference yesterday, i think mini said umm more than Yze. But you know, we stuffed up there

Factually incorrect. What was Dan Richardsons role at Richmond? For a start. Hint...GM of Football.
Balmey organised the whole football department? He did nothing of the sort. In fact it is laughable to state he organised anything in a 21st century business sense. Organisation structure? Set KPIs for coaches? Formal and informal performance reviews? Opened a computer?
He was great as a mentor, calmed things down, handled the media and took a lot of pressure off Hardwick. But get some perspective, please.
Livingstone has been responsible for conditioning, they report to him (and changes have been made) assistant coaches also, but the senior coach has the call on who they bring in, don't overstate that either. He also did all the work during our dynasty years too. Ran the club in the hub (where was Balmey?) and delivered the best flag of the 3 imo.

Livingstone was part of that incompetent football department prior to 2017 your kidding. Didn't say he organised it as a business sense Balme , it was football related and yes he got everyone on the same page and the correct roles. Without his input we we're a mess and divided. Ran the club in the hub lool let's not go there we got 2 warnings from the afl for behaviour and next was a deduction of points and the Dimma issue to far from great yes we won the flag , but we come out of there terrible and the club has never been the same like it or not. Funny how you don't give him any accountability on the mess of fitness and conditioning last 2 seasons, or recruitment etc and poor appointments.

The most important recruit will be the medical and fitness dept, without a decent person or persons we will be screwed

Go back and read again
“…responsible for conditioning…”
Recruitment >Blair Hartley
Coaching appointments>senior coach (but part of the decision)

And if you think the FD doesn’t need a professional structure then I’ll point you towards Windy Hill as exhibit A.

Did you concede on Dan Richardson? Or that’s too uncomfortable?

P.s. Do you really believe the Richmond issues in the hub were unique? Wake up.

Balmey messed up in 2020 though by giving Dimma the fat contract which forced everyone to slowly leave as their wages remained the same. Benny and Balmey signed off on that against a few members of the boards will as they wanted him sacked . Balmey became too contented in the end. Then his health went downhill and the others like Livo went down as the avalanche had already started. The time Hardwick wasn’t sacked was the beginning of the end and that falls mainly on Gale and Balme.

There wouldn’t be too many clubs that wouldn’t give a premiership coach a fat contract fresh off his third flag

Agreed but given the state of the soft cap they didn’t reward the assistants as well , and we’ve seen what happened

Agree, but he crapped off some players, friends , other staff members and their WAGS who were very close with Danielle. It was the beginning of the end.

And a close second, a communication public speaking trainer for Adem

Pre season pressers?

The casual lunch that brought a club favourite’s time at Tigerland to an end

Neil Balme, a key part of Richmond’s return to AFL prominence, talks about the “briefly awkward” discussion that made it clear this would be his last year at the club.

That's your narrative. He wanted to go on and clearly stated it even in a part time role. Gale shouldn't even been making that decision as he was checked out and no right to make future plans. The club made the call on Balmey not himself and that crap it was based on his health I never bought it.

Not a narrative mate.

I didn't mention Richardson and no need to the focus is on Livingstone problem is you can't acknowledge his mistakes.

No you mentioned he handled the hub well it was far from it regardless what other clubs did we come out of that a mess

the football department needs a cool head and professional structure and they should be held accountable for poor decisions
