Dont get too comfy with that 2.5mil. You might just be buying a tattooed bogan soon.

He will stay at Richmond but we are definitely having a crack.

A very Richmond like choke, Goddard should be dropped for that woeful bit of play near the end. We ain't going nowhere until we fix up what is close to the worst midfield in the comp, like treacle through there and someone like Kelly or Hopper should be our number 1 target. Also time for some tough love, Jobe shouldn't be getting a game and there is no room for sentiments. We are still a chance for finals but need to start getting games into the kids.

Yep, get all that, but there's no need to throw the baby out with the bath water. I didn't think our midfield looked treacle-like at Etihad v Port? Agree that we are nowhere near the finished article and could definitely add some talent after the season if it's available. I'm not sure where Woosha said we weren't mentally tough enough? As for sentiments, that is something I feared may hold us back, as far as list management and selection decisions go, with those in the "34" getting shown some (understandable) favouritism. But, to this date, I don't think it has. Pretty much all our returnees have hit the ground running (except for Jobe, who after a slow start is definitely starting to show his best).
What we are doing that makes me so proud right now, is playing a brand of footy that people want to watch. The brand of footy that made me an Essendon supporter to begin with, way back in the early 90's under Sheeds. I am confident that we will become the finished article, far sooner than I had envisaged.
And yes, Goddard! What was he thinking!!!!
